This bright new build (2022) is situated right off of MLK inside the loop. It is 1/4 mile away from one of the entrances to the all new Firefly Greenway Trail that runs along the river. Check out "The Plantation" restaurant located across the street for some delicious southern cooking. This location is all about convenience and ease of travel. Regardless of where you need to get to in the Classic City, you’re no more than 15 minuets away.

Free parking for up to 4 vehicles. The parking lot can be difficult to navigate (especially when backing out). If needed, feel free to parking on the pine straw located to the left of the driveway, in front of the main entrance to the front door.

2-story cottage featuring 4 BD I 3 BR layout. Open floor plan contains a spacious kitchen with all of your basic cooking needs, a living area with large sectional and Apple TV, and a dining table equipped for 8. Our back porch has an outdoor dining space as well a fire pit for fun hangouts on those cooler nights.

The house and property are super cute and clean! It was perfect was what we needed. The driveway is a little tricky with multiple cars but the property does say to drive on the pine straw and that was very helpful! The location is perfect for downtown Athens!! The property managers were very kind!

Artist's Cottage

I had an issue with Wells Fargo thinking my rental was fraud; they accepted the Vrbo charge, but not the house rental. We couldn't repay via Vrbo, but Alex, the owner, was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. We referred the home to others in town for a big swim meet at UGA. Great Stay!!
