This house was amazing for our rehearsal dinner. The indoor space held 50 people and the huge back deck gave an outdoor option. Owner was great and provided portal ramps (3) and threshold wedges to make accessibility no issues. Definitely work recommended and will look to stay if need a large event space in Athens.

We enjoyed hosting this lovely couple for a celebratory weekend. They were ideal guests even when having a large group of people over. They were left the property clean and tidy. We would be happy to have them as guests again.

What a great stay at Camp David! So much fun between the waterside, the pool and the hot tub. Plenty of room and great kitchen set up for a team competing at UGA for the weekend.

UGA Football Weekend

Nice location, beautiful wooded waterfront property. Short ride to Athens where we took in a November football weekend. Beautiful welcome gifts, including fresh baked goods. Must be really nice in warmer weather.

Perfect large family retreat near Athens

We absolutely loved our day! David and Becky the owners are so friendly and accommodating! This house was perfect for our younger kids to go swimming and enjoy the outdoors. For the adults we mainly came so we could set up a tailgate at UGA. We also had the grandparents with us. The house is close enough to the university that people could easily make runs back-and-forth or if they wanted to leave the tailgate earlier they could just come and eat and head back to the house, and continue doing this wonderful retreat. But I honestly cannot say enough about the owners. We met them once we got there, and David continued to reach back out anytime we needed anything. He truly made this day. Absolutely perfect for us! Keep in mind that this house is a lake house in a quiet wooded area. There are some spiders and bugs that are unavoidable, especially around the pool area. But that’s totally expected given the setting. My youngest one absolutely loved looking at the spiders outside lol. The rooms in the house are huge! And the closet space in each room probably could fit a small air mattress or pack and play for infants. We will definitely be coming back again!

Olivia and her family were delightful to have as guests! They were friendly, fun, and we greatly enjoyed interacting with them. We are hoping they will return and give us the pleasure of their company once again. Thank you, Olivia and family, for being such wonderful guests!! Warmly, Becky and David
