The Dawg House
We had a wonderful stay at Tom and Ashlie’s place! As a UGA Alum, I loved being able to stay in the heart of 5 Points and walk to some of my favorite places. The house is so charming and is exactly as pictured. We were so impressed with how well the home was stocked with everything we could have needed! Tom and Ashlie were wonderful hosts and were extremely responsive and helpful when needed. A few minor inconveniences upon arrival were taken care of promptly and kindly. We would definitely stay here again!

3/2 Covington home near studio
First Airbnb and it was amazing. Very clean, comfortable and just absolutely awesome. My family had an amazing time and Renee is an awesome host. I will be renting from her again.

SaviePlace: Basement suite with outdoor oasis
Place was perfect for a quick weekend stay. Located in a very nice neighborhood, it was very convenient and close to all places we needed to go to in Athens.

Sweet Acres
Very nice place! Was well stocked and very clean. Mike and Becky were very responsive. Property was beautiful, very peaceful. Would definitely stay again!

Game Day Central, Sleeps 10, close to UGA & stores
Paul’s house was very comfortable and convenient for our weekend visit to Athens with friends! The house is spacious and clean. We also appreciated the welcome basket of snacks that were waiting for us when we arrived! Paul was very communicative and helpful. We would stay here again for a group trip!

Home on 12 acres only 10 miles from Athens
Great place to stay. Cyndi was extremely responsive and helpful for early check and late check out. Will definitely stay again next time in Georgia

Bright Renovated Home. Master on Main. Sleeps 8.
This was a great place in a nice neighborhood. The house its self was in great condition and was very cozy for our group. It had nice big bedrooms and space to hang out and visit. I would highly recommend it if you are staying in the Winder area. Ludmila's is a great host and everything was just like she said. She was very responsive and helpful getting us set up.

Cozy DT Cottage; Hottub & Pool; Porch & Fire pit
My family and I really enjoyed Patrick & Jordan's cottage. We really enjoyed the pool on these hot days and the beds were so comfortable. We loved the detail of the house and felt like it was the perfect spot to relax with our family coming from TN, SC, & GA! We most definitely will return to this beautiful home.

College Ave. Townhome w/parking, UGA / Classic Ctr
This is a very nice accommodation close to Lay Park. We had two adult couples sharing the unit. Quite enjoyable. Host very responsive. Would definitely book again.

3/2+Full KIT-3M to DT-Farmhouse on 5 Wooded Acres
Everything was so nice for our 2 night stay. We came down for my birthday. We had never been to Athens. We loved being able to stay in the farmhouse. It was just as Sky described. She even gave us suggestions of places to eat. Thanks again, Sky!

Tranquil Updated Home Mins to UGA & Downtown
We stayed a week in January 2025, and this is now our go-to first choice place to stay when visiting family in Athens. Easy, relaxing, peaceful, clean, lots of space. It made our week so much more relaxing than staying in a hotel.

Classic City Cottage 5pts
Our stay was perfect. Within walking distance to so many restaurants. The neighborhood is also so quaint and was a great place to walk. Michele was very friendly and super responsive. Plan to stay again!

The Garden Home - Steps From UGA Campus in Athens
Perfect spot for our girls weekend. Small house, but space is well utilized. Kitchen has the desired basics. Location is very convenient.

Modern Downtown Athens Home, 4 Beds
Do not hesitate for a second to stay at this place if it’s available! The house is so well designed and decorated, and it was incredibly clean. We had three couples staying there, and it was very comfortable - each bedroom (with very comfortable beds!) has its own bathroom. Additionally, Ashley was so great to work with and even had fresh flowers and some welcome treats for our arrival. I highly recommend this place … very convenient to downtown and campus too.

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!

Best Gameday Location - Walk to game/DT - 2BR home
Marc was great - super responsive and helpful. Best checkout policy out there, no cleaning task list! Marc was very flexible in our checkout time, which was a big help. The house is older but very clean and open feeling - great high ceilings. Parking is huge and the back yard is large and private. Super comfortable beds and great linens. Kitchen is clean and very functional. All in all, a great stay!
Private house rentals

House on the Hill
Our host Margaret was very easy to contact and replied quickly. There was one minor mechanical issue on Friday night but she had it resolved almost immediately and caused us no problem at all. The house is spacious, private, and ideal for a large group--we used it for a bridal party to stay before a wedding, and to take photos and get ready the day of the wedding. Highly recommend this house and this host with no hesitation.

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!

The Music Box - Home on the river, in town!
My daughters and I had an amazing stay at the Music Box! Loved everything about it. The beautiful location along the river surrounded by woods but close to all the things Athens has to offer was perfect. Really enjoyed the nicely renovated space, the comfy beds, fully equipped kitchen, the board games and all things music related! We would love to come back again, can’t recommend this place enough. Super helpful and attentive hosts as well! Thanks for a wonderful stay.

White House
We had such a wonderful stay at Kary's place! It truly felt like a home away from home- so clean, cozy, and beautifully set up. My teenage daughters had an absolute blast playing all the games and especially loved the outdoor ping pong table, such a fun and unexpected highlight! Kary was beyond accommodating; when I mentioned we were a bit cold, she adjusted the air and made sure we were completely comfortable. Everything about our experience was easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend this place and would stay here again. Thank you, Kary, for being such a thoughtful super host and making our family trip even more special!

*New* Cozy Entire Home in Athens
Very clean place in a quiet neighborhood. Would absolutely recommend if you are ever visiting Athens.

Tranquil Riverhouse; PingPong, Large Porch, Monroe
Thank you for letting us stay at your home @Jordan. It was peaceful, serene and exactly what we needed. Would definitely recommend and return next time we’re in the area.
