Walk to restaurants and downtown events!
We stayed at Mary's home during Thanksgiving holiday because we have family in the area. The home was perfect - very cute, super convenient to get to Hoschton and in close proximity to shops and restaurants in downtown Brazelton and the highway (I-85). We always appreciate hosts that allow us to bring our dogs. We took some walks around the neighborhood and stopped by the local brewery one afternoon, who welcomed them as well. Mary was very responsive with communications, was flexible with an early check-in request and provided us with a helpful app to lock and unlock the door when the front keypad was temporarily out of service. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and hope to be able to return the next time we are in the area and need a place to stay. Thank you, Mary!

Sunrise Studio/ Private & Pet-Friendly Guest-Suite
Loved the location. Thanks for sharing your place!

Walk to Sanford Stadium/DT w/view Dawg Friendly!
It really was a nice place to stay for 2.5 days. I was here with my daughter as she was chosen to be part of the GMEA All-State full orchestra. Definitely would recommend Wendy’s unit if you need to stay in Athens for a day or two. Very responsive and engaged host, she’ll make sure you are set for whatever you need.

Spacious, Family-Friendly, Dog-Friendly Home!
One of the best Air Bnb’s we’ve ever stayed in. So spacious and comfortable. Great recommendations for places to eat and a nice park close, that we enjoyed. The backyard is fantastic and the couch was so comfortable. I highly recommend this home to anyone. *If you have small children (we don’t) it would be a perfect choice

Pet-Friendly Backyard Studio Retreat
We had a great time staying at Sharon’s place. Our pups really enjoyed running around the spacious yard and we loved the backyard area as well, it was very welcoming! The sleeping situation and temperature of the house was perfect. We especially appreciated the complimentary snacks and sodas! Those were a lifesaver after a long day of exploring! It was a wonderful stay and we look forward to booking again in the near future!

Quaint Cottage in Boulevard
Loved this little cottage! Super quiet, clean, easy to walk to downtown. Felt like home! Great backyard. Fur baby friendly. Will definitely stay again!

Near Road Atlanta/Chateau Elan/Borrow Med Center.
This couple are the most friendly hosts we’ve ever dealt with. Extremely accommodating and helpful. Definitely recommend their place if you’re looking for peace and privacy!

4 Bed 3 Bath Renovated w/Pool (Heated) 2 miles-UGA
Brandon was very accommodating to my group and I who traveled in for a bike race. The house had lots of open space in the living room/kitchen which made interacting with everyone very easy and comfortable. Couch was huge which also gave everyone a place to sit and relax. The backyard was very cute with the deck and pool which would allow for a very enjoyable summer day/evening. Brandon also had a little tub of snacks, water in the fridge, and a bottle of wine which also helped show how much they care about the experience of their guests. 100% will be booking with Brandon again.

Studio
This unit was perfect. Very clean and nicely furnished and very, very peaceful in the big back yard. An easy 10 minute ride into downtown. Host was very responsible and easy to deal with. Thanks for a great stay!

Palmetto Hideaway
Susan is a wonderful host. Her airbnb was very nice and in a great location. The early check in and late check out was a nice amenity that not many people provide. She had fresh flowers, muffins, and other available snacks and drinks which was fantastic after being on the road all day. It was a quick easy drive to campus. We will definitely stay here again the next time we visit Athens

River Retreat
Charlene’s cabin was better than what even the photos showed. Beautiful living space and the river is closer than you think. Linens smelled like they came fresh from the wash. Plenty of seating and all the food storage options made cooking for 7 a breeze. I look forward to going back!

Cozy 2bd/2ba Guesthouse
We had a great stay in the guesthouse! Perfect location to the university where we had to go back-and-forth for a sporting event. Nice to come back to a comfortable place to hang out in between games. I highly recommend this place.
