Here for college grad, but would stay for the….

Peacefully quiet serenity of having a horse farm across the road. We have stayed in many (ALOT)many rental units over the last 20 years, and this one is definitely in the top 10, read on and I’ll tell you why. First of all, this house it set beautifully between “green pasture” backyard (with very comfortable deck and seating), and green pastures with horses in the front. I kid you not, we opened the front window shade in the morning and were absolutely flabbergasted. We had rolled in at pitch dark, so this majesty was hiding in the darkness. 10/10Second and actually tied for first is its comfort and cleanliness. I want to take cleaning lessons from this homeowner. Immaculate!! It’s not a new house, but it is a beautifully maintained mature sweetie. Cozy sparkling bathroom, fresh delish beds(very comfortable) and pristinely clean surfaces, everywhere!! I wish more rental owners understood how far this level of clean goes in making the property feel comfortable in general, AND in a subconscious way. You can rest easy.Third is location- and for reason number one alone I’d say the horse farm is worth it regardless of its proximity to the city and local colleges and universities!! We have an Agnes Scott grad and getting to and from campus was a dream! Also, this location provided incredible access to nature in its landscape and its feeding of birds and grand old trees hugging you from all around.Thank you for having us, we would return again in a heartbeat!

Most pet-friendly stay in Atlanta!

We stayed here while visiting our family for Easter. The house is clean and well-appointed with a small kitchen and huge fenced yard. We brought our older dog and he felt right at home! Covered couches for dog naps were a huge perk. The owners are friendly and helpful and the location is perfect.

Perfect Location

House was perfect for our needs. Incredibly clean and well maintained. Location was convenient to everything we needed within minutes. Our stay was for my husband to recuperate after surgery until he could travel. I could leave him for whatever we needed and return within a short time. Kitchen was great for cooking. All spices, etc there for renters’ convenience were plentiful and fresh. Horses brought joy to our long days inside. Absolutely would recommend to others. Would rent again if in the area.

Great location

We spent all of our time in Atlanta at the Aquarium. This house was only about 20 minutes away. It was nice to get out of the hustle of downtown especially on a football weekend. The house was spotless, the backyard is huge. And the people at the horse stable were great about letting us visit and ask questions.

Great location, clean and well cared for home.

We were traveling with our dogs and needed a place that allowed pets and had a fenced outdoor area. The yard was huge, and very well fenced. Home was very clean, has a well stocked kitchen, setup for pets with water/food dishes, towels for drying the dogs off, and poop bags. They had clear instructions inside the home on where to locate items, labels on switches, provided throw blankets, books/games, and luggage holders in the rooms. Basically, all the comforts of home. The neighborhood was quiet and located very close to restaurants, and grocery stores. We were very impressed and highly recommend this home, especially if traveling with pets.
