River romance apartment on the river !
One dedicated parking space right next to entrance. Visitor parking spot for second car is a hit and miss as there is only 4 spots that is shared with 12 to 16 units. Once we got a spot we did not use that vehicle in case there wasn’t a spot available later. Otherwise an OUTSTANDING place. Spacious living area, bedrooms and bathrooms. The decks were also awesome to relax and view the river as it passed by. Definitely would use this place again.

Lakefront Apartment near Lanier Olympic Park Venue
Just a really wonderful cozy place and the host were just as amazing. I would highly recommend this five star accommodation.

Norcross/Atlanta:Entire Unit H,FASTWiFi, FreeParkn
Great stay ! Responsive Host ! Peaceful , and worth the price paid . Will book again !

Gateway by the Brave’s-Free parking/-Spacious-cozy
This place was perfect for us! We had a concert to attend at the Coca Cola Roxy and this home was an easy 6 minute walk to the venue! They left very clear instructions (that I may have overlooked for some information) but were very friendly when I messaged them for clarification. Their response time is the best I’ve ever experienced on AirBnB. Mostly getting back to us in under 20 minutes. The place was well kept and had plenty of glasses and kitchen equipment if needed. We didn’t get a chance to visit the lake behind the place since it rained most of the time we stayed but it was stunning enough that we were able to keep the curtains drawn to enjoy the view. For the most part the neighborhood was quiet and made it a wonderful stay. When we make it back out to Atlanta this place will be first on my list!!

River Suite For Two
Great spot for a weekend getaway with my wife. Easy walk into town and cool little sitting area next to the river. Kendra was extremely helpful with fun things going on and local insight. We would certainly stay there again when back in the area! Awesome trip!

The Hooch Hideaway
This Airbnb was situated right on top of a cute cafe and overlooking the river; very beautiful. It really made us feel like we weren't even in Georgia! There's music playing at the restaurants almost every night but despite this you cant hear it in the Airbnb! Very cute town with very nice people.

Club Cozy 2bd 2bath near The Battery/Braves!
Kyara was a very friendly and responsive host! Even before we arrived, she responded to our questions and inquiries. The space was very clean and inviting…and also safe and secure, which was important to our group of three senior ladies. Check in and check out were easy. Very few requests upon checkout, which was nice. Hand soap and dishwashing soap are provided, but guests may want to bring their own bath soap, laundry soap, and dryer sheets. Apparently, some folks like to bring their own supplies of these things due to allergies, and personal preferences. Air B & Bs are different in what they consider standard supplies. (Kyara did bring us soap and body wash when we requested it, which we appreciated!) We had an emergency while we were in town and Kyara was more than helpful in offering assistance to help us get it resolved. She is an excellent host and will make you feel quite welcome! We would recommend the Club Cozy to friends and would stay here again!

1 MIN WALK 2 Lennox MALL/5*Restauran/POOL/GYM 24hr

Lake Daze On Lake Lanier With A Dock
Great house and location!

Modern pet friendly waterfront home w/dock
Very nice house on Lake Lanier. Basically everything in the house is updated and has everything you need. Short walk (a couple of minutes) down to the dock. Stayed with our 7 month old and 2 dogs and all were happy. Would stay again next time we come to the area.

Creekside Cabin - Walk to Downtown
We had a blast. The creek and scenery was awesome. The cabin was perfect. We even got in the creek and played some. Clayton was an awesome town as well. Highly recommend.

Canada Cottage/Sauna Cold Plunge Firepit Fishing
Cute and cozy cottage! Host was exceptionally responsive which was greatly appreciated as we had a little difficulty finding the driveway. Would definitely return!. It is important to be aware that the wall between the bedrooms does not go all the way up, so the bedrooms are not private although this was not a huge issue for us.

Lake view, great sunset view off dock, 3 bedrooms
I cannot say enough great things about this property. We arrived to the most beautiful house in a location that was utterly perfect! This home has absolutely everything you would need, essentially just show up with food and clothes! The beds were all VERY comfortable, soft linens, plenty of pillows and well put together. The living areas were cozy & comfortable. Games, items to enjoy the lake, outdoor areas, fire-it for s'mores were all a bonus. The kitchen was stocked with absolutely every thing you would need. The countertop icemaker was my daughters favorite feature! Our kids enjoyed the kayaks, paddleboards and floats. We enjoyed a glass of wine while watching them! Easy communication & great host. You could not ask for a better house! Thank you for the best stay! We will definitely be back!

4bd Lakehouse w/ Dock + HotTub + FirePit + Kayaks

Bulldog Bungalo 5 star Flat
We had a fantastic stay at this beautifully decorated 2-bedroom condo near Athens and UGA! The space was spotless and thoughtfully arranged, with stylish furnishings and all the comforts of home. The kitchen was fully equipped, the beds were very comfortable, and we appreciated the little touches like extra towels and fast Wi-Fi. The location couldn’t be more convenient—just a short drive to downtown Athens and the UGA campus, but in a quiet, safe area that made it easy to relax after a day out. Check-in was seamless, and the host was responsive and helpful throughout. We’d absolutely stay here again!

Mountain Lakes Retreat
Great little weekend getaway for our family of 4 including 2 small children. So many amenities and lots to do. The view from the patio with the porch swing was amazing!

Brand New on Toccoa River-Kayakers dream
This was our second stay at Billy’s beautiful cabin in Suches. It was again amazing. We had a wonderful time fishing and exploring downtown Blue Ridge. Even caught and cooked two beautiful rainbow trout for dinner in the river right behind the cabin. Morning breakfast on the back porch was heavenly. Recommend this place highly!

Walkable 2BR Riverfront 2nd-Floor | Balcony
Quick trip from Florida. Great spacious place for the family and pricing was on point comparatively to the surrounding market. Will 100% recommend and book this exact condo in the near future.

Riverlife
Lamar is a great host. The stay was amazing and worth every penny!

Chattahoochee River House 1
Great and responsive Host. Location was great and within walking distance of Helen attractions. Home still had festive decorations and was very clean and cozy. Will definitely be back for Oktoberfest. Thanks for a great weekend!

Happy on the river 2 master suites
This spot was amazing to stay in and we would absolutely visit again. Close enough to downtown to have fun but far enough away that you felt like you had a private space in the woods. The upstairs swing was pure bliss with a cozy, fluffy blanket on a brisk morning. The only real issue we ran into during our stay was with parking. The garage only fits 2 cars comfortably and we had 3. The person with the most reliable E brake gets the hill! Also, bring your own toiletries. They weren't provided and the local store is a little pricey.

Riverfront Downtown Helen Condo 1BR 2BA Jetted Tub
We enjoyed everything about the stay. The location was perfect and within walking distance to everything in Helen. I really liked the seasonal fireplace and how clean and cozy the condo was. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.
