Felt like home 10/10

We stayed for two nights. This house was gorgeous and comfortable, and CLEAN. Everyone had so much space to themselves and also lots of space to gather together. Lots of board games to use, as well as outdoor activities. The kitchen was well stocked, and the house was furnished with lots of linens and essentials. The neighborhood was nice, and so quiet, it felt like we weren’t even in a neighborhood. We saw deer and enjoyed sitting on the back deck in the mornings. The beds were so comfortable. Had the best check-in and check-out times of any Vrbo property we’ve ever used.Scot was so friendly and helpful and easy to communicate with. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Beautiful, relaxing home.

We were in town for our son’s school function. This home had everything we needed and more. From beautiful fireplace, to spacious rooms, and gorge kitchen. Our host was amazing. He called ahead of time to give us tips on activities in the area. Great privacy, comfortable home close to campus. Killer sound system.

what a wonderful place to stay!

I had a wonderful 4 days with my mom who lives near by. The house was perfect for holiday baking. The dog loved the neighbors and the neighborhood. We met so many nice people and dogs on our walks and we even saw chickens! The kitchen was perfect for baking and visiting. Scot is the perfect host. The house had everything we needed and more. Our family plans to come back in January for a birthday get together. We are all looking forward to it!

Best VRBO ever!

We went to Athens for a family reunion and had three couples staying here. This place was amazing! I have stayed in many VRBO homes and this was by far the best! The location, neighborhood, communication, and especially the interior layout and design were all great. There are so many wonderful things I could write about Scot’s place, but I think it best sums it up by saying that I would buy the home if it were available and not change one thing about it! Will definitely go back! Thanks Scot.

A Safe Haven During Hurricane Milton

We had an incredible experience staying at Scot's place while evacuating from Hurricane Milton. Scot was an outstanding host, going above and beyond to ensure we felt right at home and had everything we needed during a stressful time. The house is situated in a fantastic neighborhood, conveniently close to Athens, which made our stay even more enjoyable. It was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a welcoming place to stay. Thank you, Scot, for your exceptional hospitality!

**Perfect Athens Rental - Clean / Maintained, Beautiful Property + Owner w Heart & Solid Character

This property was exactly as detailed. It sits in the midst of trees/lush vegetation, a beautiful, maintained, spacious property that is clean, w/ outdoor space, located in a quiet (by all indications safe) middle class family neighborhood. For our purposes, the property is also located in the heart of Athens just a few mins short drive to UGA where my daughter was checking in as a Freshman on an Athletics scholarship (I am Proud) The rental pricing was much less, significantly in most cases, during surge pricing time, compared to majority of other listings with similar size, location, amenities etc. And I am meticulous in research and reading reviews before booking! If still considering and you've read this far, look no further, book with Scot! He is a top notch individual, cares about his guests, and you will not regret the booking. You will be selecting a terrific property, conveniently located, at a competitive rate (don't want to speak for Scot!). Feel confident that you're booking with an owner that makes it easy, is conscientious/hospitable but not invasive (more than just income) I will be booking with Scot again, based on quality property and top notch host! High level, Scot offered to let us stay an extra day without cost, knowing some tough circumstances & he has a lot of heart. Although unable to accept, I am eternally grateful, hence the glowing review (unsolicited). Too bad for character limits or I'd say more, but book w/ Scot. You won't regret it!
