The Rustic Retreat is located on the same property as Kasie & Jason's home, but has it's own driveway and fenced and gated entry. Dead bolts on all three doors of the barn offer a feeling of security once you're inside.
We are kid friendly, but not “kid proof.” There are stairs, sharp edges, cords, and small items that could be hazardous for little ones. We recommend ages 6 and up as appropriate kid ages for our space.
The entire barn area is included with the rental. Blueberry fields (in season June and July) are located directly in front on the barn and animals are located directly behind the barn.
Your hosts, Jason and Kasie are only a phone call/text away and live in another home on the property.
O5 Farms has lots of visitors in June and July when berries are in season. Enjoy picking your own blueberries as you experience farm life and get to know the animals on the farm.
Pets may be allowed but must be pre-approved and there is a pet fee.
NO Occupancy over 6 guests.
We are conveniently located about a mile from downtown Jefferson and approximately 3 miles from I-85. We are about two miles down from Walnut Hill Farms event destination and only 20 minutes from downtown Athens/UGA.

Great weekend at the farm. Fulfilled my farm fantasy with alpaca and highland cows, peacocks a pig, goats donkeys and a sheep. Celebrated my husbands 70th birthday with family and cooked s’mores that night around the fire. Hot tub in the cool morning and watched the farm wake up! Will be back! Don’t miss the country store on site!
Clean, relaxing, country environment- we loved the place and the owners are the nicest people! We recommend this to anyone wanting a great relaxing place to stay.
Thanks so much for your hospitality.
We needed a home base for visiting some family in the Jefferson area. This property exceeded our expectations. Great property, well maintained, great owner. This is definitely a book marked property for us!

Thanks so much for your kind review! We loved hosting you guys and are so happy that you enjoyed your stay with us! We hope to see you again next year.
This property had everything we wanted. The back porch with the hot tub and tv were our favorite. We were able to watch all the animals which was really fun. The inside was very clean and nice.
The barn was so pretty. The property and animals kept my daughter busy the entire time. The owner was very friendly and communicated well. Everything we needed was supplied and of top quality.

Thanks for your kind words! We enjoyed hosting you and hope to see you again soon!
What an amazing experience on this serene farm. The hosts were amazing, the renovated barn was equipped with everything we could have wanted and more! Our host took us on a tour of the farm and introduced us to all of their sweet animals, who are so well loved and cared for. We felt so welcome, safe and comfortable. Any questions or requests we had were responded to right away. We could not have picked a better place to spend our extended weekend for our daughter’s graduation from UGA! This was just the icing on the cake for us! We will definitely be coming back!!
Amazing property! The extra special touches of the decorations is just amazing. Host available and has everything you could possibly need.
We will be going back!
Comfortable, Clean, Rustic, Welcoming Place to Stay!!
Home is clean & comfortable. Place makes you feel refreshed and right at home with so many antiques! I can spend hours just looking at the creative decor. Hot Tub was relaxing and we loved the view. Property owners are always reachable and helpful. This is the only place I will ever stay when in this area.

Pretty as a Peacock
Everything you could ask for in this incredible destination! Warm and inviting yet surrounded by rustic farmhouse antiques in this idyllic country setting. The lodging was only surpassed by the warm and welcoming presence of the owners. We will be back again. Thank you for everything.
