4 Beds 2 King Pet Friendly Serene Retreat
Guest rating: 4.8 / 5
Overview
This 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation home sits in the Belvedere Park section of Decatur, Georgia, and sleeps up to 8 guests across two floors. Listed as pet-friendly with a mid-century-inspired design, it blends two living rooms, multiple workspaces, and outdoor entertaining space into one self-contained property rather than a traditional hotel.
Rooms & Layout
Upstairs holds a primary bedroom with a king bed and en-suite bathroom, a second guest bedroom with a queen bed, a full kitchen, dining seating for seven, and a living room with a Smart TV and workspace. Downstairs offers a third bedroom with a king bed, a twin daybed with trundle, a second living room with a Peloton exercise bike, an additional workspace, a full bathroom, and its own laundry room, giving upper and lower levels a good degree of independence.
Amenities & Recreation
The property is equipped with air conditioning, heating, free Wi-Fi, cable TV, an ironing board, and two sets of washers and dryers. Outdoors, guests have a fully fenced backyard for pets, a deck accessible from the kitchen, a gas grill, and a fire pit, plus free off-street parking for up to four cars.
Kitchen & Dining
A full kitchen upstairs comes with a microwave and oven/stove, while a kitchenette and coffee station downstairs add extra flexibility for self-catering groups. For dining out, nearby options within a couple of kilometers include Southern, soul food, barbecue, and Cajun restaurants as well as casual cafes.
Location
Belvedere Park is a tree-lined, residential neighborhood close to Decatur, Atlanta, Emory, and Stone Mountain Park, with Belvedere Park Lake and Chapel Hill Park nearby for walking and picnicking. Two bus stops sit within roughly 500 meters, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is about 20 kilometers away, putting downtown attractions like Ponce City Market, Zoo Atlanta, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and State Farm Arena within reach.
Best for
This home suits groups and families traveling together who need multiple bedrooms, two separate living areas, and pet-friendly outdoor space with a fenced yard, grill, and fire pit. It also works well for remote workers or small groups needing two dedicated workspaces and free Wi-Fi, and for road-trippers who value free off-street parking for up to four cars.
Travel tips
Note that the driveway is steep and the home is a multi-level property with stairs to the front door, which can be slippery in wet weather, so plan footwear and luggage accordingly. Two bus stops (Columbia Dr @ Santa Monica Dr and Peachcrest Rd @ Longleaf Dr) are within about 500 meters for local transit, while a car is recommended for reaching Decatur, Atlanta, or Stone Mountain Park. Since the airport is roughly 20 kilometers away, budget extra time for traffic when arranging airport transfers.
What guests say
Guests consistently praise the layout, especially the two separate living rooms, in-bedroom Smart TVs, and the pet-friendly fenced backyard with grill and fire pit, which comfortably accommodated larger groups. Reviewers also noted the decor matched the listing photos closely. On the downside, some guests felt the immediate neighborhood was in transition, though they still reported feeling safe, and at least one stay was affected by a heating malfunction in cold weather along with a sparsely stocked spice cabinet, with some frustration expressed over slow issue resolution.
