Macon Merry in March
The photos and description do not do Macon Merry justice. It is a spacious, welcoming house in an ideal location for walking in Macon.The kitchen is very well-appointed and my husband loved being the DJ with the vinyl selection!

Top notch rental, ideal location with just the right touches
The property is downtown within easy walking distance of restaurants, bars, and music venues. Inside is well-appointed, very functional, and with just the right blend of attractive period touches (hardware, wood floors) and modern appliances making this an enjoyable and functional property. Great communication by owner without being intrusive. In every way this place is "just right". We particularly enjoyed the lounge, record player, and disco light. Comfortable and enjoyable in every way!

What a treat!
We came to Macon for a New Year’s Eve show at the Auditorium plus an extra day to relax. This place is super cozy, welcoming, and convenient. My first time in Macon but the neighborhood felt very safe plus the historic downtown restaurants and bars are only half mile away. If we could take this cottage with us everywhere we travel we would! Thank you!

Beautiful & Cozy
I can’t say enough about this property. It has vintage character but also updated amenities. All of the spaces are thoughtfully designed, comfortable beds, and a fantastic kitchen! The master bedroom faces a bit of a noisy street, but the owner included disposable ear plugs as well as a white noise machine. Such a wonderful property! We will definitely stay again!

Great Home near Mercer and Downtown
Great stay for Mercer Homecoming! Home was exactly as we expected, no disappointments whatsoever. Walking to downtown is 10 - 15 minutes. We also walked to Yollah's for dinner. Great stay!

Elevated Experience
This home is designed with elevated materials and amenities. It feels more like a home than a vacation rental. I found everything to be new, in good working order, and very clean. Great location close to downtown but in a quiet location.

Great stay
My friend and I stayed with our Great Danes for the AKC agility championship in Perry Georgia. The home was fantastic. Very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Close to plenty of restaurants and walking distance to coffee shops. The park next door was a big plus for walking the dogs. Two king bedrooms were very appreciated! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only one spot for off street parking, but there was always room on the street. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Cute home good location
Cute older home nicely renovated. Front door doesn’t close tight which made me a little nervous. House is within walking distance to quaint downtown area

Amazing: Wanted to Lease for Long Term
I truly enjoyed my stay. The pictures do not do the place any justice. It was beautiful and located in a convenient but quiet area. Would recommend to anyone.
