Charming Stone Mountain Studio: Deck & No Steps
Guest rating: 3.5 / 5
Overview
This is a private studio vacation rental set on a sloped residential property in North Decatur, near Stone Mountain, with the homeowner living on-site and a separate second rental unit also available nearby. It's geared toward solo travelers and couples seeking a quiet, home-like base rather than a full-service hotel experience. The studio sleeps two on a single queen bed and has a strict 2-guest maximum occupancy policy.
Studio & Kitchenette
The single-story studio includes a private balcony and patio, a smart TV with cable, ceiling fans, and a dining table. The kitchenette is well-equipped with a gas stove/oven, refrigerator, microwave, drip coffee maker, toaster, blender, cooking basics, complimentary spices, and full dishware and flatware, making extended self-catered stays easy. A window A/C unit and four portable heaters handle climate control, and shared coin laundry is available on-site once a week by request.
Amenities & Services
Guests have free Wi-Fi, free driveway parking for one vehicle plus first-come street parking, an iron and board, linens and towels, and complimentary toiletries. Four exterior security cameras cover the property's corners for added peace of mind, and quiet hours run from 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM. The property is smoke-free with no pets, events, or candles permitted.
Location
Situated about 5 miles from Stone Mountain Park and 7 miles from the Summit Skyride, this studio also puts guests within walking distance of a bus stop at Redan Rd @ Ellis Rd (390m) and a nearby taqueria just over a kilometer away. A cluster of restaurants -- including The Peach Cobbler Factory, Fin and Feathers, Voss Restaurant & Lounge, Ledet Ethiopian Restaurant, Madina Restaurant, and The Humming Bird Restaurant -- sit within roughly 2.5 to 5.7 km, and Downtown Atlanta's major attractions like Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia Aquarium, and Centennial Olympic Park are about 13-14 miles away. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is roughly 25 km (about 22 miles) from the property.
Best for
This studio is best suited to couples or solo travelers looking for a quiet, self-catered home base near Stone Mountain, thanks to its private patio/balcony, full kitchenette, and strict 2-guest cap. It also appeals to travelers without a car who want proximity to a bus stop and a walkable restaurant scene, since the closest bus station is only 390m away and several dining options are within a mile or two.
Travel tips
A vehicle is helpful for reaching Stone Mountain Park (about 5 miles), the Summit Skyride (7 miles), and Downtown Atlanta (13-14 miles), though the nearby Redan Rd @ Ellis Rd bus stop offers a car-free option for local trips. Parking is limited to one driveway spot plus first-come street parking, so early arrival is worth planning. Guests should also observe the 9:00 PM-9:00 AM quiet hours and note that shared laundry is only accessible once a week between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM by request.
