Extra spacious

Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life on the Jackie O's Barrel Ridge Farm! The perfect getaway for families with children and/or friends who want to reunite near Athens. With lots of natural light, this new 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath space sleeps 12 and has plenty of room for your group, including a chef's kitchen with large dining table, 2nd floor living room, and tons of outdoor space with a hot tub, gas grill, fire pit, 2 ponds, several greenhouses and plenty of space to explore!

The space
Take a peaceful stroll around the 20+ acre property and check out what's growing. The greenhouses are home to vegetables and herbs served at the Jackie O's Public House Restaurant, located in Uptown Athens. Surrounding the farm are fruit and nut trees, which are used in many of our small batch Brewpub beers.

Kick your feet up, listen to the birds (and frogs in the spring), and enjoy the beautiful views of rolling hills on either of the two large patios. Indulge in a relaxing soak in the new 6-person hot tub! Unwind on the sand beach or cool off in the swimming pond located just steps from the back door. End your evening with a bon fire (fire wood provided!).

There are also board games and a variety of classic DVDs to choose from. Please note, cell service can be a bit spotty depending on your carrier, and there’s now WiFi at the farm!

Take a quick 12 minute drive into town and explore everything Athens has to offer! Check out our list of favorite spots in the area for a bite to eat, beverages, and sightseeing in my AirBnB Guidebook or contact me for recommendations before you arrive.

Please use caution and common sense when exploring the farm!

Please note, the AirBnB space is located in a newly constructed barn that is attached to our Wood Shop. The Wood Shop Crew may be working during workday hours (M-F 9am-5pm) and as a result, you may hear them creating tap handles or other creative projects out of bourbon barrels, etc. Our farm crew is typically on the farm side of the property during standard business hours; however, they may need to stop by to water in warm summer months.

Guest access
You'll be able to access the AirBnB unit and stroll around the farm property. The AirBnB is attached to a wood shop and farm storage that you will not have access to, unless you schedule a tour in advance of your visit. Please use caution and common sense when exploring the farm!

Other things to note
We have the space, so welcome your pets to our property; however, they must be pre-approved and require an additional $25 fee per pet. Please note, our farmers' friendly and social dogs are on the property while they are working. Your dogs MUST not be aggressive towards other dogs or people.

Walking around the farm can get muddy, so please be courteous of this when entering the AirBnB. And whatever you do, take care of your shoes!

Please use caution and common sense when exploring the farm!
