The house was very nice and comforting. It was also great one able to bring my dog. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of space for everyone.
The house is in a great location with close proximity to all things Athens. My family enjoyed spending time together. The home is decorated nicely and the rooms are surprisingly larger than I had expected. Would definitely stay again and refer to friends.
Visited Athens for Christmas since both our adult children live there. Very comfortable and nicely appointed home. A few hiccups after checkin, but quickly resolved by host. Would stay again.
An older home with some creaks but very well-maintained. An excellent location convenient to all of the best things to do in Athens. Quiet neighborhood with lots of friendly faces taking walks with their dogs. Would definitely stay here again!
This is a fantastic find in Athens! Molly is a great host and the cottage has everything you need. It’s a great location to downtown and the neighborhood is quiet. The cottage is comfy and a great getaway. Can’t wait to come back!
We stayed in this house for 4 nights. It’s a great house. Photos are accurate. Location is very convenient to downtown Athens. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.
If I could give the cottage more than 5 stars, I would. Molly was an incredible host, making sure we had everything we needed during our stay. The cottage is well kept and super clean. Convenient to downtown and the university.
Thank you! We'll definitely stay here again.
The Classic Cottage was perfect for us, so close to all the venues we had to get to. The house is adorable and was very clean and well stocked. The host was very responsive. Everything about our experience was smooth and we’d definitely stay there again.
We were in Athens for a few days while both of my girls attended UGA gymnastics camp. The house and location both were great. Would highly recommend this to anyone traveling through Athens!!

The house was above and beyond my expectations. House was very clean and neat. You can tell the owners take pride in their property. Also, it was very close to downtown and UGA. I would stay here again!
Great house that feels like home! Well appointed kitchen, comfortable bed, and beautifully decorated. Easy to get to downtown. Lots of space for the whole family. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this rental. I will return!
My 21 year old son, our labradoodles and I had a wonderful experience. The owners are organized and responsive. The house is completely stocked for comfortable rest and cooking. The house is emaculate! We highly recommend !
Sent wife, kids, and sister in law & nephew to game weekend. They raved about this house. Walking distance to restaurants, campus, stadium, shopping. Clean bedrooms. Clean kitchen. Thanks a million!
We had this house rented for the weekend for a football game. One week before our rental, Hurricane Helene left our home and businesses without power and water. I contacted the host and she was responsive and gracious enough to let us come before our rental date and take refuge here while we were without power at home. The house is spotless and very comfortably appointed. We are grateful for her kindness and will definitely stay here again.
We stayed at this lovely property for a conference at UGA. The house is close to the school, making our trips a breeze. It is beautifully appointed and even prettier in person. The only "difficult" part of the house is parking. To park in the driveway, you have to move a manual gate and do a little planning if there are two cars (single lane driveway). Street parking was available for some of our stay and that was much easier. We would absolutely stay here again- it's charming and there are restaurants in walking distance. Highly recommend!
My daughter is preparing to relocate to Athens for graduate school and we needed to stay a few days to find an apartment and acclimate her to the city. This little spot was just perfect. The home was spacious and clean. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked and my daughter and I enjoyed coffee in the morning and wine in the evening on the front porch. And you can't beat the location - close to everything and private parking. The owners were responsive and addressed a minor issue promptly. Overall, a great spot!
Your house is very cozy. We were in town for a volleyball tournament. Two things to consider. The master bed needs a new mattress because it sags to the middle really bad. Also, there was no soap in the showers. Only liquid hand soap at the sinks.
The property itself was very clean and decorated nice! Fresh paint and comfy linens. Plenty of towels is important and you had them. Will stay again when in Athens!
