~ 9 Min. to STADIUM ~ UGA Inspired Home + RV Parking--See Description
UGA & Athens Inspired Split-Level Home! Located in a well-established Athens neighborhood, less than 4 miles to the UGA Stadium & downtown Athens! Plenty of space to go around, and can sleep up to 12, plus provided blow-up Queen air mattresses to accommodate more, if needed! While they say pictures are "worth a thousand words", let me also paint a picture for you with words....As you drive up to this cozy split-level home you will have 2 driveways to choose from. Your main driveway leading into a 2-car garage, PLUS a secondary 100ft. long side driveway that leads around to the back, lower level access, and can easily accommodate at least 2 full-size RV's! Walking up to the house, you are greeted by an enormous (18x12) front porch party deck with relaxing patio set that is mostly shaded under a giant oak tree! Perfect for a morning cup o' joe. Walking inside you are welcomed with a total Open Concept Kitchen & Dining Space. Sit at our oversized table in front of a cozy fireplace that can easily seat 10+ people. Want to watch the game while you're eating or playing games? No problem! We've added a 55" flat screen above the fireplace that can be viewed from anywhere on that floor! The kitchen area boasts an XL 9ft. Island that can seat an additional 3-4 people! All white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances & granite throughout! Gorgeous fall night outside? Stop by the bar station complete with built-in kegerator to accommodate your favorite brew! Then make your way through the sliders to an even larger (14x22) party deck out back! This backyard oasis would not be complete without a comfy sectional sofa; an extra long outdoor dining table & chairs; a propane fire table to keep you warm; a separate grill pad off the deck; and rounding out in our grass area where you can play a rousing game of cornhole (game included)! Got a little dirty from your friendly competition, or after coming home from the game? We have a large laundry room, equipped with laundry sink and pantry storage for all your extra groceries! Too cold or wet to relax outside? Come on down to the lower level where we offer a full sectional centered around another fireplace & 55" flat screen TV! Games and books flank either side as well, to tickle your intellectual senses! Tired after a long day of fun? Or maybe you want to send the kiddos to bed? Downstairs we offer their own separate "dawg" inspired sleeping quarters that includes TWO, 3-person bunk beds, so you can easily sleep 6 (weight limit to 1 kid atop ea. & 2 adults below each is recommended). For those midnight trips to the potty, we included a large, no-fight, 2-sink adjoining bathroom! Finally ready to call it a night yourselves? Unwind on our 3rd level in one of 3 bedrooms. The "Stadium" Room & "Athena" Room both offer Queen size beds and a shared bathroom, again with the no-fight, 2-sink convenience. Our "Arch" room is also the Master Bedroom, complete with King size bed & private (2-sink) Ensuite! All bathrooms boast the same cabinetry & matching granite as the kitchen! And, of course, all linens, toiletries, kitchenware, and even the Keurig w/ complimentary coffees, teas & cocoa's are included! So no matter what team you're rooting for, all you need to bring is your clothes (don't even need to bring your toothbrush!), and most important--LEAVE YOUR STRESSES BEHIND! **NOTE** 1.

Thank you very much Lisa, and I appreciate you not downgrading me on my communication skills during your stay! I apologize again for it, as that is not our norm! Hope you had a great time in Athens, and we would love to have you back!
This house was perfect for hosting a 30 person rehearsal dinner (with permission)! Plenty of room for parking off street and for gathering inside and out.
We really love the house it was a few old ladies just want to get together for the weekend .
The property was very clean and well kept . Everyone loved it Thank you so much

Thank you so much Laverne! Our cleaning gal takes great pride in the property, as if it were her own, so she will really appreciate the compliment! We would love to have you back anytime! Kristine
My family rented the property for Thanksgiving and my 60th birthday party.
The property was very spacious and clean. Lots of parking. The weather was great so the front and back decks were convenient for hanging outdoors. We had a wonderful time and looking forward to renting the property again next year.

Perfect spot for a game day weekend
The house is great with a convenient location. Our group loved the UGA touches throughout the house - so fun for a game day weekend. The split levels offer nice privacy for larger groups, and the outside decks and backyard were fun for the kiddos. Everyone also loved the Keurig and coffee options - what a nice touch.

Thank you so much for the compliments! If you have an opportunity to come back in the warmer months you can enjoy even more of our outdoor amenities (lounging furniture w/ fire bowl table, BBQ station, and cornhole)!
We visited the Athens area for an extended weekend for a family wedding. This home was a perfect setup for our extended family. It’s comfortable and conveniently located to multiple parks suitable for kids of all ages, to the UGA campus, and to Athens downtown area. Thank you for a great stay Kristine!
Our stay was just as described. We had a great experience. The house had lots of sleeping and gathering space for our family. The property manager was prompt with answering questions and giving instructions. Thank you for a nice stay!
The house was in the perfect location. The only issue was that the house slept only 8 people instead of the promised 16, so we had to buy a few air mattress

Jason, I am glad you had a good time at our property. I am confused by your comment of lack of sleeping accommodations. The upstairs sleeps 8, as you say, but we also have a pullout Queen sofa bed, an extra air mattress in the closet, and most importantly, 2 bunkbeds in the downstairs bedroom that can sleep 6 more people comfortably. At least 4 out of the 6 of those could be adults. I wish you had reached out to us, about this concern, and we could have addressed it!
The property was as advertised. It was sufficient for our reunion. We liked it enough to do it next year as long as new mattresses are placed in house.
This is a great place to stay for a UGA weekend! The owners have thought of everything! The UGA theme throughout the clean and newly renovated home is awesome. All you need to do is bring food, drinks, and your red and black. It is located close to Timothy Road and great restaurants. If you want to eat in DoorDash offers many great places to choose from. I am sure we will stay here again!!

Thank you so much Amy and Royce! We tried really hard to think of everything our guests could need or want; so we are very glad you approve! We would love to have you and your friends back again! And if you're looking for even more of a casual atmosphere to eat, and less than a 3min. drive, I highly recommend Butt Hutt BBQ! Kristine
This rental is 10/10! My group consisted of 14 total adults that planned an alumni trip back to UGA for the weekend. The property was clean, spacious and even better than the pictures show. The kitchen/living room was big enough for our whole group to hangout together and tons of space to cook for the crowd. There were 3 full bathrooms with multiple sinks and plenty of linens. Although we didn't take advantage, the back porch was also very large. Plenty of parking was available in the two driveways. The property itself was less than ~10 min from campus and a little further to downtown, with plenty of Ubers available for transportation. Only thing I would note is the top bunks of the two bunk beds are only sturdy enough for a child or very small adult - which the description says and wasn't an issue for our group! Would definitely stay here again!
House was great and location was excellent for playing Jennings Mill and The Georgia Club, as well as, to Five Points for restaurants. Had inquired before going about grill, and was told it was propane. The tank was empty and could not be remedied until the next day, which was unacceptable. Property manager suggested I go get it filled or to use the broiler. There was no broiler pan in the house. Only one kitchen towel was provided.
Also, one of the gals spilt a bit of water, grabbed a paper towel to wipe it up and it came up black. We all new not to go barefoot as the flooring was filthy.
On the positive note, coffee was provided and toiletries were plentiful, plus paper towels and toilet paper. All said the beds were comfortable.

We are very sorry to hear that your stay was not 100% perfect, as we always strive for 5-star reviews. We felt awful about the grill issue, when it happened. As a result we have taken steps to prevent that from happening again. Similarly we'll add some extra towels, as we are always open to suggestions! Regarding the floor we will definitely be looking into that, as we are normally rated very high on cleanliness, and our cleaning gal takes great pride in this! We appreciate the feedback , and hope you will give us a chance to make it up to you on a future stay!

Perfect quiet neighborhood. Was great to stay here for a game. It was quiet when we needed it, and easy to get to downtown Athens for the game environment
I rented this house for me and two coworkers and it was leaps and bounds better than a hotel. We had three adults and could have accommodated two more comfortably. Great host communication. Enjoy the new Costco!
I was there for the 2022 Ole Miss @ UGA softball series. My group enjoyed time together between games with spacious living area. The back deck has a gas grill and fire pit. Seating for 10 to 12 people. The dining room has seating for 12. This is my second time renting this property.
