Wonderful Quiet place
We were in Athens for moms weekend and lucked out to be able book here due to a cancellation. We had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the hot tub, all the fixings for breakfast one morning, the hot water that was endless . We loved being able to have 6 of all together without being crowded but still being able to all share in the conversation and fun. The house and everything was as described in the listing. We will definitely be back.

About the host

Hosted by Barb Ernst

Host profile image
We have been working toward providing a comfortable space for individuals or groups to come enjoy this rural setting from the onset. We provide facilities for groups, workshops and family gatherings, as well as the solo traveler. We have been in the Athens area for over 25 years, and enjoy meeting travelers, as well as getting out to see the country ourselves.

Why they chose this property

The property is at the end of a county road about 9 country miles, or about 20 minutes, from the city of Athens. We love the seclusion and quiet. The farm is a work in progress, with various projects going on all through the year. We are happy to show you what we are up to, or just leave you alone, as you wish.

What makes this property unique

This is an off grid property, where we believe in sovereign living. It's nestled in a wonderful community with adventures at your fingertips including artist studios, wineries, and great local music venues.
