Our stay was fantastic! I brought my studio for a conference and even though there was 14 of us, we had more than enough space - the house was incredibly clean and well taken care of, we had all the necessities we could have asked for. If we are ever in Athens again, we will be returning here for sure. Thank you so much for having us!

About the host

Hosted by DOUGLAS L HOLLADAY

Host profile image
My wife and I fell in love with Athens when our Daughter and son in law moved there to attend UGA. We decided to buy a home there and since have added this stunning home as a retreat for weary travelers. We love the brook that runs past the home providing fish and music from the fall of the water outside the screened in poarch. While we don't live in Athens we love this retreat when we do come to visit our friends and relatives, as well as attending our favorite sports facilities at UGA.

Why they chose this property

We love the feeling of being out in the woods yet just minutes from shopping, entertainment and UGA. We love watching the many deer that live in the area stroll through our property to eat the grass or take a cool sip from our stream.

What makes this property unique

Lots of room to roam and explore a wood like setting, hike, camp and enjoy Mother Nature while being close to town.
