Heart of Five Points Craftsman Cottage--Walk to UGA-Fenced Yard for Pet
Guest rating: 5.0 / 5
Overview
Heart of Five Points Craftsman Cottage is a 1930s Craftsman home in Athens’ Five Points neighborhood, set on tree-lined, quiet streets close to local restaurants and shops. It’s a smoke-free, pet-friendly stay (with prior approval and deposit) designed for guests who want a neighborhood feel with walkable access to the area’s main draws. The property has a fenced yard and a driveway for convenient off-street parking.
Layout & Sleeping
The cottage sleeps up to four guests with two bedrooms, each furnished with a queen bed, and two bathrooms. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors throughout, a spacious living room, and both a breakfast nook and a formal dining area. Climate control is supported by air conditioning and heating.
Kitchen & In-Home Conveniences
An updated, well-stocked kitchen is provided, with an oven/stove and microwave for cooking and reheating meals. Practical amenities include a washer and an ironing board, plus a flat-screen TV with cable. Wi‑Fi is available (paid).
Outdoor Space
Guests have two porches to choose from: a front porch with rocking chairs and a screened porch with ample seating for relaxing in the evenings. A patio and outdoor grill add to the at-home setup, and the fenced yard is a helpful feature for travelers bringing pets.
Location & Nearby Spots
The cottage sits in the heart of Five Points with easy access to area dining such as The Local 706, The Expat, The Royal Peasant, Marker Seven Coastal Grill, Fully Loaded Pizza Kitchen, Five and Ten, and ZZ & Simone’s. Several bus stops are within about 450–650 meters, including S Lumpkin at Westview Dr OB and Five Points OB. Sanford Stadium is walkable on game day, making this a convenient base for UGA events.
Best for
This cottage is best for UGA visitors and game-day travelers who want to walk to Sanford Stadium while staying in the desirable Five Points neighborhood near restaurants and shops. It also suits couples or small groups (up to four) who value a full kitchen, in-home laundry, and outdoor lounging space. Pet owners will appreciate that pets are accepted with prior approval, along with the fenced yard and outdoor areas.
Travel tips
If you plan to rely on transit, multiple bus stops are within roughly a 5–10 minute walk (about 450–650 meters), including S Lumpkin at Westview Dr OB and Five Points OB. For drivers, the driveway accommodates two cars for easy off-street parking. On UGA game days, expect the area to be popular—one advantage here is being able to walk to Sanford Stadium rather than dealing with parking near the venue.
