Beautiful Country Get away not far from Athens, GA

The HT Martin store is beautifully decorated and designed. I rented it with family and friends for a football weekend at UGA and we had the best time staying at the house. There is plenty of space for people to hang out and talk. We enjoyed sitting out by the firepit one night as well. The owners are very responsive and helpful. The only minor issue is the door lock. They mention it can be a little tricky and that is the truth. We will definitely book it again when we plan a trip to Athens in the future.

Great house for our bridal party

Super clean, cute house with beds/room for all of the ladies in our bridal party. Lots of added items included and much appreciated, like snacks, coffee pods, and even fresh cream for the coffee! We did have a little bit of trouble locking up with the electronic lock, but that might have been more of a user error. Otherwise it was a fantastic day, and I highly recommend.

Cute, clean, comfortable

The owners have done a great job turning this old country store into a comfortable, well decorated VBRO. We visit family close by for Thanksgiving. This is our 2nd stay. The owner leaves coffee pods and creamer and other thoughtful touches. The living area is very comfortable for the 8 people staying.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle Kaye

We have lived in Georgia all of our life and we moved to Madison County 15 years ago to follow our dream of owning our own farm where we raise camels and other large breed exotic animals. We rescue all types of animals including farm animals, mainly dogs, and we live nearby. We have received the American Red Cross Hometown Hero award for our animal rescue efforts.

Why they chose this property

We are located in the beautiful countryside of northern Madison County. Our private home and farm is very close by and when the opportunity came up to buy this old country store, we thought it would be a fun project to renovate and restore a piece of local history.

We also wanted to provide a much needed place for family and friends to stay when they visited us or the surrounding area including Hartwell and Athens. All of our family and friends who have stayed in this unique, one of a kind, renovated country store have loved it so much that we've decided to share it with all of you too!

What makes this property unique

Where else can you say that you've stayed in historic, old rural country store in Georgia? Our store has amazing views of the rolling hills and dales of Northern Madison County, GA. While it's a historic store, it also comes with ALL the amenities to make for a super clean and comfortable stay. The property is perfectly restored with comfortable flow through the LR/DR to the kitchen and bedrooms/bathrooms.The front porch patio, which used to be the filling station gas area, is now a brick patio beautifully landscaped with planters including an herb garden. The side of the store provides an outdoor covered seating area with overhead string lights and includes a firepit and charcoal grill. There is plenty of parking so you will never have to worry about where to park your family and friends vehicles upon arrival.
