About this property
Classic City Retreat In Five Points Athens GA • Sleeps 15 • Walkable • Hot tub
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.
All rooms feature Malanni fine linen bedding, blow dryers, and hotel-grade toiletries.
