Modern Contemporary 3BR Getaway Near ATL • Pool • HotTub • BBQ
Guest rating: 4.6 / 5
Overview
Haralson is a 3-bedroom, ranch-style vacation rental in a quiet North Decatur neighborhood, sleeping up to 10 guests across 6 mattresses and 2 full bathrooms. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area is designed for groups traveling together, whether for a family reunion, weekend getaway, or Atlanta city trip. It sits just inside the perimeter (ITP) with direct access to I-285, putting Midtown and Buckhead less than 30 minutes away.
Rooms & Layout
The master bedroom offers a king bed, Smart TV, and an attached bathroom with a walk-in glass-door shower, while a second bedroom features a queen bed and its own Smart TV. A third bedroom is outfitted with two bunk beds (twin-over-full), sleeping up to six, and a hallway bathroom with a walk-in shower serves the additional bedrooms. A kitchen-area office nook with a desk, chair, and lamp adds a workspace option not typical of most short-term rentals.
Outdoor Amenities & Recreation
The private, fenced backyard is the standout feature, anchored by a large 33x26-foot deck with outdoor furniture, a year-round hot tub, and a seasonal semi-inground pool (18x30 feet, 4.5 feet deep, unheated, open late April through early October). A gas BBQ grill with tools and propane is provided for outdoor cooking, and three additional side decks add extra lounging space.
Kitchen & Practical Amenities
The fully equipped kitchen has stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, an island, microwave, kettle, and coffee maker, plus basic cookware and dishware for self-catering groups. In-unit laundry (washer and dryer), an iron and ironing board, and starter supplies like paper towels, dish soap, and toiletries are included. The home is smoke-free and provides free Wi-Fi, free driveway parking, and central air conditioning and heating.
Location & Surroundings
A bus stop (Lawrenceville Hwy @ 2514) is just 357 meters away, and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is about 25 km away. Numerous dining options are within a few kilometers, including The Grove Restaurant & Tavern, Marlow's Tavern, Louisiana Bistreaux Seafood Kitchen, Kindred, Hudson Grille Tucker, What The Cluck, Decatur Food Hub, and Universal Joint Decatur, giving guests a wide range of casual, American, Cajun, and bar-and-grill choices nearby.
Best for
This home suits mid-to-large groups and families seeking a self-catering base with private outdoor amenities, thanks to its 10-guest capacity, hot tub, seasonal pool, and BBQ grill. It also appeals to Atlanta-bound travelers who want a quieter residential setting with easy I-285 access to Midtown, Buckhead, and Downtown attractions rather than a downtown hotel. The nearby bus stop and abundance of local restaurants make it convenient for guests without a rental car for daily dining.
Travel tips
Direct access to I-285 makes this a practical base for driving into Midtown, Buckhead, or Downtown Atlanta, generally under a 30-minute drive. The nearby Lawrenceville Hwy bus stop, just 357 meters away, offers an option for guests without a car, though most nearby dining and attractions are more easily reached by car. Note that the outdoor pool is seasonal (open roughly late April through early October), so guests visiting outside that window can still use the year-round hot tub, and quiet hours run from 10 PM to 7 AM per county regulation.
What guests say
Guests generally rate this property highly, reflected in a strong 4.6 rating from 67 reviews, suggesting overall satisfaction with the space, layout, and outdoor amenities like the hot tub and pool. One recurring concern raised involves property upkeep prior to arrival, specifically that trash and recycling bins were left full and unaddressed near the front entrance at check-in, indicating a gap in pre-arrival inspection by the management company. This suggests that while the home itself is well-equipped, guests should be aware that turnover cleaning and exterior tidiness have occasionally fallen short.
