About the host

Hosted by Jeanine & Charles Russell

Host profile image
We moved back to Athens 20 years ago to get away from the traffic. Pond Creek was the perfect getaway, yet still close to Athens and all it has to offer. We decided to become hosts after all our friends visited and fell in love with our space and property. We have thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people and sharing our peaceful escape for the last 5 years.

Why they chose this property

Coming from the city, we decided we needed to live at Pond Creek after going to the back by the pond and creek. The peacefulness of living on 7 acres with water flowing is wonderful!
