About this property

Classic City Retreat in Five Points, Athens GA | Theater | Hot Tub | Christmas

  • Classic City Retreat is Athens' premier large-group mansion — a 4,600 sq ft estate in the heart of Five Points with a private hot tub, theater room, and space for 15 guests to spread out in luxury. Whether you're here for the World Cup, a UGA game day, graduation weekend, or a family reunion, this is the house that makes the trip unforgettable.

    "Our family had a great Thanksgiving — many said it was the best one ever."
    "This VRBO was FABULOUS… Impeccably Clean."
    "Extraordinary location played a pivotal role in creating cherished memories."


    THE SPACE

    This isn't a vacation rental — it's an estate. The main floor opens into a grand living room with a 7-piece sectional, gas fireplace, and 65" TV. Downstairs, 1,500 sq ft of dedicated entertainment space houses a full game room (pool table, ping pong, foosball, air hockey), a private theater with plush seating for 8, and two secluded bedrooms. Step outside to a private gazebo with a large hot tub, dining area, firepit, and propane grill — surrounded by bamboo and Georgia pines.
