Tranquil Nature retreat - close to everything. Free parking and fast WiFi!
Overview
This lower-level apartment is a walkout basement unit attached to a private home in North Decatur, offering a bright, self-contained retreat with its own private entrance. Guests have exclusive use of the space, including a huge living room and a comfortable bedroom, without access to the main house, and hosts likewise do not access the apartment during a stay. It's positioned as a nature-focused getaway that still keeps guests centrally located near major roadways.
Outdoor Space & Recreation
French doors open onto a peaceful green space and private patio where guests can listen to birds and a gently burbling creek. The outdoor area includes a firepit for s'mores and a cornhole setup, making it a relaxed spot for evenings outside. Smoking is not permitted indoors but is allowed on the patio.
Amenities
The unit is equipped with air conditioning, heating, cable TV, an ironing board, and free fast WiFi. A kitchen area includes a refrigerator, microwave, and coffee maker, though there is no stove for cooking; a laundromat is available nearby for guests needing laundry service. Free driveway parking accommodates two vehicles, including oversized vehicles.
Location & Access
The property offers easy access to I-85 and I-285, making it a convenient base for exploring the wider Atlanta area. It's just minutes from hiking trails, Emory University, Henderson Park, Mercer University, Buford Farmer's Market, and Stone Mountain. Long-term rentals are accepted for guests needing extended stays.
Best for
This retreat suits nature-loving travelers and pet owners seeking a quiet, private space with outdoor amenities like a firepit, patio, and creekside setting, while still being close to highways for easy regional travel. It's also a good fit for longer-term stays or visitors to Emory or Mercer University, thanks to its central location and long-term rental policy.
Travel tips
Since there's no stove, guests planning to cook full meals should plan for a nearby laundromat trip or bring simple cooking equipment compatible with the microwave and available appliances. The private entrance and separate patio mean guests won't interact with the host household, so check-in logistics should be confirmed in advance. With quick access to I-85 and I-285, a car is the most practical way to reach nearby attractions like Stone Mountain and Emory.
