Thanks Doug!
Couldn’t have asked for a better home or host! Doug was a 5 star host from booking through checkout. In fact, he even went out of his way to drop off jumper cables for my rental car’s dead battery. That’s going above and beyond. The house itself was just perfect for what my group of friends needed. Spacious, clean, and cozy. The drive into DT Athens wasn’t bad at all. Ubers were always available within 10 minutes too. The setting was perfect for a Deep South experience, nestled in the woods with a running creek to enjoy your morning coffee to. Thanks again Doug.

This cozy house was a tranquil space to come home to after a hectic day at work. The sound of the brook, the screened in porch and the bay window. If I come back for work again, this will be the first call I make!

This property was very nice. It had plenty of room for our large family and was conveniently located near restaurants, grocery, etc. The host checked in with me on the app during our stay to ensure we were enjoying our trip and to ask if we had any questions. I highly recommend this booking!

I was beyond impressed with this home. It met all of my expectations plus some. We loved making s’mores over a fire by the creek. The owner was very personable and helpful when we needed anything. I look forward to booking this Vrbo for years to come! Thank you! ❤️

Graduation celebration
We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home. We were in town for my daughter's graduation from the University of Georgia, and it was so nice to have a home to hang out in rather than being in hotel rooms. We were comfortable and able to spread out. Also, it is far enough out in the country to be quiet and away from the busyness of Athens, but you can be downtown in 15 minutes. Douglas was easy to get a hold of and quick to answer any questions. He is an excellent host, and I would highly recommend his home to other friends and family.

We immediately felt comfortable at this property. When we arrived there was a herd of deer in the side yard and we loved watching them in the mornings and evenings. This home had plenty of sitting areas and would nicely accommodate families with different ages. It had everything we needed for our family to spend Thanksgiving together. The heated toilet seats were always a nice addition!

The house is amazing. Comfortable and the owner is excellent. The change I would make is to change the grill. Because it doesn't work well. But my whole family feels at home.

Best VRBO ever!
You can feel the love and care that went into the design of this home. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful outdoor spaces and the cozy interiors. The only rough part of our stay was all 7 of us fighting over the window seat! This home is a gem!

This house truly feels like a retreat in the woods! The house is beautifully appointed with everything that you could possibly need. Loved the mid century modern furniture and our host did a great job being responsive and making sure that all our needs are taken care of during our stay. Would highly recommend staying at this house, you will not be disappointed!

Clean, comfortable and spacious home with a great host
We stayed at this home when visiting our son at UGA. The home is very comfortable with lots of space, and is close to grocery stores and a handful of fast food and sit down restaurants. The 15-20 minute drive to UGA was easy enough, although a little far to go back and forth multiple times a day. Douglas was very responsive to questions and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring that we had a great stay. We would stay here again on a future trip.

Parent’s Weekend
What a great place to stay with friends while visiting UGA for our daughter’s sorority Parent’s Weekend! The house was perfect to share with friends, the screened in porch was a great place to catch up on some work and the kitchen was great for preparing dishes for the weekend. Our daughter’s favorite spot was the window seat in the front of the house where she napped in the sunshine. We will definitely consider David’s place for a future visit.

Great stay and good times on the porch
We loved this property. It looked exactly like the photos--very clean, spacious, relaxing seating areas, plenty of beds. You can hear the babbling brook from the bedrooms and it is so restorative. The decor is wonderful, too. Interesting art, streamlined design, nice vibe. Also, there is a screened-in porch where you can enjoy the trees and the creek. Also, Doug was extremely responsive and always available to answer questions and do whatever he could to make our stay terrific--which it was.

PERFECTION!
This place was perfect. My short stay included myself and my 3 daughters. There was plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and also several comfortable places for us to congregate. Every where we looked we discovered something visually interesting between both the architecture and the artwork. We loved that this space felt more like coming home versus being just a crash pad. I'm looking foreword to booking again when family comes to visit.

We had extended family join us for the 2023 Home Opener. The house was exactly what we needed for our large group - including teens and adults. The house has tons of space along with all the amenities you need. There were numerous sleeping options with plenty of blankets and pillows. Douglas was very quick to reply to any questions we had. We would absolutely stay here again.

Fabulous house-great location
Beautiful, very comfortable house for the perfect get-away. Fun mid-century furnishings and a spacious, well stocked kitchen with room for all to be part of the cooking action. Plenty of space to spread out for different activities including the fire pit area by the relaxing creek. Far enough out to feel “away”, but close enough to all the convenience of East Athens as well as UGA. It was perfect for our holiday family gathering. We’ll be back.
