Walk to the Stadium: Herty House (Full Home)

Historic Athens Home with Modern Luxury & Tailgate Yard

Ideal location - This home sits in one of the most sought-after spots in Athens. Located just off the iconic Milledge Avenue, placing you right in the heart of the action on game days and throughout the year. The property is directly across from the freshman dorms, making it ideal for visiting parents, alumni, and anyone wanting to be close to campus life.

If you want the perfect Athens tailgate base with everything at your fingertips, this location is hard to beat.

Lower Level Flex Space
The lower level features two bedrooms (king; 2 queens), two full bathrooms, a second kitchen, and a TV lounge—ideal for multi-family stays or groups. A dedicated game room with pool table keeps the fun going.

Entertainer’s Kitchen:
The state-of-the-art kitchen is perfect for hosting, with an ice maker, drink cooler, double sink, wet bar, convection stove and an eight-person dining table crafted from 200+ year-old reclaimed wood from the original home.

Our stay at Herty House definitely exceeded expectations - wasn’t so sure what we were getting into since the photos were minimal on the listing. Realized I was their first guest, which is why they gave me a deal since there were a few unfinished details. Lloyd was extremely helpful and communicative ahead of our stay to clearly explain the status of the home. The house felt super fresh/clean and new but still had a charming feel of a historic home - location was perfect. So close to campus… Hoping to book again next fall for a football game!
