Dec 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic! 5-Star! Look no further! We were in need of a comfortable home to host Thanksgiving for our UGA law school son and some classmates. We rent many vacation homes in several states and the hosts of this home are 5-star! They’ve thought of everything you’ll need and include many amenities that most hosts don’t include - bathroom essentials, kitchen supplies, many spices, etc. They even left us 2 bottles of wine, coffee, soda and snacks! The kitchen is incredible and I was easily able to prepare a full Thanksgiving meal. Dining room is much larger than the pictures show and enjoyable. We were pleasantly surprised to find the turntable and vinyl - and all albums we love! The family room is very comfortable and the TV is easily seen from the kitchen. Outdoor space is lovely including a TV. Bedrooms are quiet and bedding was so nice. 2 full baths with luxury towels. This home is all you need for a wonderful visit to Athens. Thank you to the wonderful hosts! ##### Elizabeth D. Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte A.
