Summary: The owners have opened their park-like property to guests, and were excellent hosts! Gorgeous setting, well-planned interior, and all the little things that matter. Easy drive into Athens, but definitely quiet and peaceful location. Thank you for hosting!

Summary: Escape to Pond Creek was exactly what we were looking for on our annual Father/Son trip. Only 15 minutes to Athens to see the Georgia Bulldogs game and experience the town. A great country escape. The owners had the fire pit prepped for us. Fishing rods set up for our sons to use. Supplies to cook S'mores. It was perfect. Would definitely recommend it!

Summary: My family of four had the most wonderful trip! Our girls (ages 3 and 5) were especially delighted by the toys, the indoor playhouse, and the marshmallows for s’mores. And we were all thrilled by the pool table, the walking trails, the hammock by the pond’s waterfall, and the spacious rooms. Our hosts even offered to light the firepit for us — great stay all around!

Summary: Such an inviting place to stay! The location was a short drive from downtown Athens. We had everything we needed for a fun weekend surrounding our son's graduation from UGA.

Summary: We scheduled this stay to correspond to UGA's graduation. It worked out perfectly. The host was easy to work with. We grilled out, played pool and enjoyed sitting by the pond. Though 6 miles out of town we were able to Uber to and from with no issues.

Summary: We needed a place to visit with our son while he was in town and our home was being renovated. It was a very clean, cozy and comfortable space. Conveniently located between our home and the town of Athens. We initially were surprised it was a basement apartment since I filtered only houses but I did see where it is mentioned further down the listing description. But it had almost everything we needed to have a great week. I could see this space being perfect for a bigger family gathering. Very nice property and the hosts were very friendly and helpful.
