Quality Inn & Suites Athens University Area

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice"

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

10/10 Excellent

"This was by far one of the best homes we have ever stayed in, and we are a very picky family! Everything about this was home was high end excellence..from the beautiful decor, stunning architecture, and luxurious bath products..I cannot recommend this home enough! Everyone had great nights of sleep in the comfortable and spacious bedrooms. Everything about this home is PERFECTION! We loved sitting outside in the beautiful yard and in the relaxing screened in porch. The owner, Maggie, is so kind and gracious and she thought of everything you will need to have a wonderfully relaxing stay! Do yourself a favor and book this home today!"

Garden House DT Watkinsville- Minutes to Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning place! It’s decorated well and feels so inviting and tranquil. Plus, the tub in the master is the tub of dreams. Everything was super clean. Lori is hands down one of the most communicative hosts I’ve ever dealt with. She checked in, was quick to respond, and truly made me feel welcome. I plan on exclusively booking this place for all my future trips. "

Sunwoven Townhouse half a mile to downtown!

6/10 Okay

"Bare bones rental. Kitchen is ill equipped. No cutting board, no baking sheets, no kitchen towels, no wine or bottle opener (I went and bought my own cutting board and wine key which I left for the next renter). No blankets in living area, no extra blankets in bedrooms. House has a bit of a weird smell, I bought a candle, would suggest you do the same if you’re going to be around the house for more than sleeping. Patio furniture has no cushions, and it’s wicker so not really comfortable to sit on without. If you need a place to lay your head, it’ll do, but there is nothing cozy or “livable” about it if you’re staying for any length of time. All this plus they nickel and dime for 23 because we got there a little early. I had texted 8 hours prior asking if it would be an issue because my son needed to drop his stuff before baseball, no response until we got there and someone from the rental company happened to be there.
