Step outside to a private gazebo with a large hot tub, dining area, firepit, and propane grill — surrounded by bamboo and Georgia pines.

10 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
A group of us stayed here because we needed some extra. room to celebrate Christmas with our family and it was PERFECT. We had 4 young kids & the game room, bunk room, & theater provided all the entertainment they could need. It was extremely spacious so we were very comfortable. Check in/out was also very easy... Would definitely stay here again!

House worked great for a big group. Great neighborhood and proximity to UGA and downtown.
6 / 10Average·Feb 2026
The number of bedrooms and entertainment space was the main selling point for me, to which it lived up to. However the house is in need of maintenance which I found inconvenient. The heat in the lower level wasn't working, to which the owner promptly addressed within 24 hours, which was great. Other issues included; The power in several outlets in the kitchen didn't work, which appeared to be due to a popped circuit breaker. The built in microwave didn't work. While a temporary microwave was provided. It wasn't in an area that had a plug, thus I had to move furniture to find a place for the microwave to work. One of the bedrooms only had 1 working power outlet, which was connected to the TV. Thus, you had to unplug the TV in order to charge a phone. While ice and snow doesn't happen very often in GA, no salt was provided to treat the ice. I requested salt from the owner, who said it would be delivered the next day, but it never arrived. 2 of my guest slipped and fell on the ice. I had to go out and buy my own salt and spend hours breaking up and removing the ice. For the price paid and associated liability of icy walkways, this should have been addressed prior to my arrival.
