I loved the house. It is very large, and can hold a lot of people. The kitchen is very large. There are two living rooms on the main floor, which would be nice if you have a lot of people staying in the home. There is a very large fenced in back yard if you have a dog, it would be a great place to stay. If I stay there again, I'd definitely take my dog. There is a park, that has a dog park, 1.5 miles from the home, and there are sidewalks all the way to it. I know this because I am a runner and I ran down to the park each day. There are also some trails at the park that were nice to run on as well. I also noticed a very nice tennis facility nearby. The fire pit is nice, plan to bring firewood. I was not able to easily find firewood around town, so plan ahead. This house was a great find!

Douglas home was nothing short from amazing! My family of 9 drove 14 hours and was pleased with the room and beds were very comfy. The house was very spacious we didn’t feel stacked on top of one another but yet the family rooms and the basement made us all feel together. Our best part was the patio we played cards and had drinks. The creek and the woods behind the home gave us a nature feel and a privacy vibe to spend the alone time together. The home was just 6 mins away from everything we needed. Groceries, gas, and etc. The house was clean and very accommodating. I will definitely stay again! 10/10 recommend!

This home was PERFECT!

This home was perfect for our family's stay in Athens. The interior layout is spacious and very thoughtfully appointed, with both beautiful and comfortable furnishings. The large kitchen has tons of counter space. It's perfect for both the chef and others to gather. The upstairs bedrooms are comfortable and quiet. The house is set back from the street on a very private lot with a fenced backyard, where our dog could run.

Thanks Doug!

Couldn’t have asked for a better home or host! Doug was a 5 star host from booking through checkout. In fact, he even went out of his way to drop off jumper cables for my rental car’s dead battery. That’s going above and beyond. The house itself was just perfect for what my group of friends needed. Spacious, clean, and cozy. The drive into DT Athens wasn’t bad at all. Ubers were always available within 10 minutes too. The setting was perfect for a Deep South experience, nestled in the woods with a running creek to enjoy your morning coffee to. Thanks again Doug.

My Home away from home

I had the honor and pleasure of staying here for the last four months for work. It was such an amazing place to come "home" to after a long, hard day. You can hear the brook 24 hours a day, especially from the screened porch off the kitchen. Watch the dear eating from the bay window in the front. It is pure magic. Doug was an amazing host who addressed any any all my needs. He was reachable and kind and attentive. The area was peaceful and still close to town, best of both worlds. I could go on for days. Don't stay here, I'm afraid the house will be booked for the next time I'm in town. 10/10. Thanks Doug!

Graduation celebration

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this home. We were in town for my daughter's graduation from the University of Georgia, and it was so nice to have a home to hang out in rather than being in hotel rooms. We were comfortable and able to spread out. Also, it is far enough out in the country to be quiet and away from the busyness of Athens, but you can be downtown in 15 minutes. Douglas was easy to get a hold of and quick to answer any questions. He is an excellent host, and I would highly recommend his home to other friends and family.

We immediately felt comfortable at this property. When we arrived there was a herd of deer in the side yard and we loved watching them in the mornings and evenings. This home had plenty of sitting areas and would nicely accommodate families with different ages. It had everything we needed for our family to spend Thanksgiving together. The heated toilet seats were always a nice addition!

Parent’s Weekend

What a great place to stay with friends while visiting UGA for our daughter’s sorority Parent’s Weekend! The house was perfect to share with friends, the screened in porch was a great place to catch up on some work and the kitchen was great for preparing dishes for the weekend. Our daughter’s favorite spot was the window seat in the front of the house where she napped in the sunshine. We will definitely consider David’s place for a future visit.

Clean, comfortable and spacious home with a great host

We stayed at this home when visiting our son at UGA. The home is very comfortable with lots of space, and is close to grocery stores and a handful of fast food and sit down restaurants. The 15-20 minute drive to UGA was easy enough, although a little far to go back and forth multiple times a day. Douglas was very responsive to questions and seemed genuinely interested in ensuring that we had a great stay. We would stay here again on a future trip.
