The property is set back off the road, emphasizing privacy and a “getaway” feel while still being near Athens highlights.

Guests also note multiple sitting areas that work well for groups with mixed ages. For entertainment, reviewers mention a large TV in a basement area with three futons, while noting that some bedrooms do not have TVs.

This is a smoke-free, pet-friendly stay with practical in-home amenities geared to multi-day visits: a full kitchen (microwave, oven/stove), washer, heating and air conditioning, and an ironing board. Outdoor features include a patio and an outdoor grill, plus a screened-in porch overlooking the brook. Connectivity and convenience amenities include free Wi‑Fi, cable TV, and free parking.
Location & nearby options
Guests frequently cite the home as being close to downtown Athens and UGA. Public transit access is available via several nearby bus stops, including Fire Station 5 – 1090 Whit Davis Road (about 843 m away) and stops along Whit Davis Road (roughly 887–926 m away), plus 1800 Cedar Shoals Drive (about 899 m away).

Best for
This property best suits families or groups who want a private, nature-filled setting with room to spread out, supported by a full kitchen, washer, and multiple gathering areas. It’s also a strong pick for Athens/UGA visits (such as campus events) thanks to its frequently mentioned proximity to downtown Athens and UGA, plus free parking and fast, reliable Wi‑Fi.
Travel tips
If you plan to use public transportation, several bus stops are within about a 10–15 minute walk, including Fire Station 5 – 1090 Whit Davis Road and other Whit Davis Road stops. Guests highlight the outdoor setting (brook, porch, yard space), so consider planning time at the house rather than treating it only as a place to sleep. If bedroom TVs are important for your group, note that reviewers mention TVs are not in three bedrooms, with a primary large TV in a basement hangout area.
What guests say
Reviews emphasize comfort and an inviting, well-prepared home that works especially well for family gatherings and milestone trips. Guests repeatedly mention the peaceful outdoor setting—watching wildlife, enjoying the screened-in porch, and relaxing to the sound of the brook/waterfall—along with plenty of indoor sitting areas. Location is frequently praised for being close to downtown Athens and UGA, and check-in/check-out is described as easy with a responsive owner. Connectivity stands out as a consistent positive, with strong Wi‑Fi noted. A recurring consideration is that TVs are not in some bedrooms, with the main large TV located in a basement/common area.
