This stay was amazing! The air conditioners worked very well and the allowance of pets made our visit ever so special. We enjoyed walking our dog along the shaded trails instead of having to find a park in town or using a hotel parking lot like you do if staying at a hotel. The beds are comfortable and the location was very convenient for visiting Athens and Canton.
Such a great place to stay. Woke up to deer on the property every morning, right on the lake, very cozy, and an easy drive to Canton Trade Days. Will definitely book here again!
Cute tiny home on pretty, shaded property. Clean, neat, all necessities, comfortable bed and good Wi-Fi and streaming services. Bathroom was snug but expected in tiny home. Great walks in the woods.
This was a great place. We didn't really get to take advantage of the area. It was a last minute decision and a family emergency made it even more later in the evening. Plan to revisit.
The house is outside town by Lake Athens. There are deer everywhere. Tons of them including adorable fawns. The house is a bit small…tiny house, but comfortable. The owner was quick to answer questions and help out. It was a short drive to town and the Athens Scuba center. Plenty of good restaurants in town and near the Lake. They also have two other larger homes nearby on site if you need more space.
The cabin was comfy and had everything we needed for a 3 day getaway. I loved that there was a trail to walk right outside our door. Two outdoor sitting areas are available at the cabin where you can enjoy deer watching...there's lots of deer! The location is close enough to town to go out to eat or grab something at Walmart. There is a public boat ramp and nice swimming area just down the road. And it's only 25 miles from Purtis Creek State Park where we found miles of well maintained trails to explore. When I had a question about WiFi, the property manager replied quickly and was very helpful. We are very likely to return for a future stay.
