The home (basement) was pet-friendly, and the outdoor area was fenced in with a large running area. We were comfortable, and the location was very convenient to restaurants and shopping. The host was responsive and willing to accommodate us with a later check-out since no one was checking in after us.

Fishing trip

Accommodations were fine. One suggestion would be to either offer basic cable on the television or at least offer an option for a short term subscription by the current guests.

Wonderful home and location!

My wife and I stayed at this home and felt quite comfortable. It took a while to acclimate the temperature but enjoyed our entire stay. Jason was very helpful and it was located very closely to a great deal of attractions and food. I would definitely recommend this location and would stay here again.

Nice Property

If you are looking for clean, look no further. This property is immaculate. It is certainly best suited as simply a nice place to sleep and shower. Oh, by the way, the shower pumps out PLENTY of hot water! Very nice shower. Make sure you notice in the description that there is no kitchen.

Comfortable accommodations in nice, quiet neighborhood

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very quiet and the neighborhood was pretty and peaceful. Our host recommended a wonderful breakfast/lunch place that was just a 5 minute drive, so it became part of our daily routine. Plenty of room to spread out or come together, including a nice outdoor sitting area. The host was very responsive. We'll definitely stay here again the next time we visit the area.

Great place, thanks!

Was as depicted in the listing. Nice, very safe and quiet neighborhood. House was clean. The keurig was great. My son was excited they had hot chocolate and marshmallows, too. Would stay again. Bring a sponge and dishwashing solution, that's the only thing I needed. Fridge looks full sized in the picture but it isn't.

Beautiful apartment

The apartment we rented in Buford was cute and cozy. Beautifully decorated and loved that the rooms were dark for great sleeping. (Which was much needed) Only thing wished was that it had a kitchen sink for cleaning the silverware and coffee cups.
