Top Bell Lake Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Athens West

10/10 Excellent

"Perfectly located hotel, clean rooms and property"

Newly Built 5 BR, 6 Miles to UGA, Fire Pit, Sauna, Game Room.

10/10 Excellent

"We were in town for my son’s wedding at Hadden Estate. We had a large group so the house was great. Communication was great with the Host and I received replies within a timely manner. The house was beautiful and offered lots of space and things to do. Thank you for accommodating us in your beautiful home."

Charming Duplex: 12 Mi to UGA & Sanford Stadium!

10/10 Excellent

"This was hands down the best VRBO stay I’ve ever had. I’ve stayed in several vacation rentals over the years, but this one truly stood out.From the moment we arrived, you could tell how thoughtful the hosts are. One of the first things I noticed was the fresh farm eggs and bottled water waiting for us. It may seem like a small detail, but it meant so much. When I travel, I usually pack a few eggs and a few bottles of water because many places don’t provide those things. Seeing them already there made me feel welcomed and cared for.The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen had everything necessary for cooking, the washer and dryer were incredibly convenient, and the bed was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the peaceful setting, the large yard, and the screened-in back porch where we could relax and enjoy the quiet surroundings.The hosts were kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Every detail showed thoughtfulness and care. It felt less like staying in a rental and more like being welcomed by people who truly want their guests to have a wonderful experience.I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and well-appointed place to stay."
