This is a beautiful home and Rick was so responsive. It was perfect for us, close enough to the stadium and downtown Athens to be a quick drive but far enough away to have peace and quiet.

Beautiful Property

The pictures do not do this property justice. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Perfect for relaxing after the long busy days during our stay. Hosts were wonderful to work with, and we found everything far exceeding our expectations. We loved our visit to the area and wish we would have had more time to enjoy and explore.

A great place!

My family and I enjoyed the weekend in this beautiful home. The communication was great from start to finish. We loved the outdoor spaces which included a nice back porch as well as an outdoor space great for cooking and cornhole. I would definitely recommend to others and stay again.

Great country getaway

We stayed here for a game weekend with our student at UGA. It was a wonderful break for him from the dorm and we were able to provide home-cooked meals. The house was well stocked with everything we needed to cook, including lots of spices. The hot tub was amazing! It’s about 20 mins from UGA and 10 mins from groceries/food. Simply lovely for a family getaway!

Henderson Athens Family Vacation 2024

The home was very homey & relaxing. My grands loved the big swing in the cookout area & all the games that were available to them. My son loved the fire pit area. They all loved the screened in porch & especially the hot tub. We all wished the lake was full. We all imagined how beautiful the view would’ve been looking from the porch. The hosts were very hospitable.

100 stars!

Our stay here was a pure delight to the heart! Every detail, inside and out, was absolutely beautiful! We stayed here during Spring and the landscaping and blooms were dreamy! Inside the home, every space was beautifully crafted to feel welcoming and inviting. It was super kid-friendly as well, even having awesome toys stashed for little ones to play! The homeowners went above and beyond to make sure our stay was incredible! The home exceeded our expectations beyond measure.

Amazing family retreat

We had a wonderful family get away for a wedding in the area. This house is set up for entertainment! There were so many different places to sit :-). We had fun sitting in all of them but spent the most time out on the back screened in porch. There is a hanging bed couch that we actually slept in and loved hearing the night sounds during an unexpectedly cool late summer night. And the hot tub was great! We were all sad to leave. It’s was a truly lovely stay. The host was so nice and response. Even left us a sweet treat to enjoy during our stay. Hope we can make it back there again soon!
