Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Madison County

It couldn’t have been a more ideal weekend! This is truly a house you’d love to call your own. We spent our daughter’s wedding weekend in Athens here, and we can’t express enough how wonderful the home, the grounds, and our host, Margaret, were. We’re already excited about coming back for football season. We’re so thrilled to have discovered this hidden treasure!

This was my first Airbnb experience. Don was very helpful and I was very pleased with the home. It is a newer property and loaded with amenities. Making the reservation was easy and the check in and check out was seamless. I highly recommend Don’s place if you are traveling in the Athen, GA area.

A great place for getting together and relaxing with friends. The host and accomodations were first rate. To us it was quiet, private and beautiful. Everything we could have hoped for. If the Willow house doesn't make you feel comfortable and at home...no place will.. would recommend it 100 percent to any of our family and friends... absolutely worth the money. We look forward to using this provider again... To Linton and their staff. Thanks for providing us with a wonderful place to spend a few days with old friends. Thanks for everything..

This home was fantastic. Can house large groups and conducive to outdoor lounging or having a cozy weekend inside. Really enjoyed the proximity to downtown areas, and how comfortable it was. Highly recommend!

We chose Maggie’s place because it was close to our daughter’s wedding venue and looked like a pretty place for the bridesmaids to get ready and have photos that morning. It didn’t disappoint! Everything about it was beautiful-very clean and inviting. The linens are lovely and the owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The record player gave us fun entertainment. The game cabinet was very well stocked. The bathrooms had toiletries. The kitchen had plenty of dishes and even all the things that make cooking easier (salt, oil, etc.). We enjoyed having a home base during a very busy weekend. Maggie was also very helpful and let us come back later after we checked out because we realized we had left my daughter’s wedding cake in the freezer! We are very grateful and recommend this place wholeheartedly.

This was the perfect stay for my family while our son was attending a UGA swim camp! It was clean, spacious, and had all the necessary kitchen accessories! John was super friendly and responsive. Perfect little side yard for our dog too. :) Less than a 10 minute drive to downtown and to UGA. We would absolutely stay here again!

We were in town for a week to prepare and celebrate our daughter’s wedding! The place was perfect for our bride to get ready with her friends! With some family still in town the next day it was a great gathering spot for a casual pizza night! Everyone raved about the space and surroundings!

we had a great time on lake Hartwell. everything about the house met or exceeded our expectations. Will come again for sure.

My family and I loved our stay! Every little detail you can think of was well thought out. Child friendly which made it an extra plus for me! Will definitely come back!!!

The air bnb was exactly as described! Easy to find and perfect for our short wedding weekend. Parking was easy and convenient. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

This was my first time in Athens, and this Airbnb was great place. Felt right at home, close commute to everything while also having a nice and peaceful place stay. Definitely would stay here again!

Has a fabulous week at the condo, which is so close to the lake.... The most peaceful and relaxing place to stay..... We had a good time at the pool and enjoyed the local area. Wish we could have stayed for longer. Deborah was a great host.

my two girl friends and i had a wonderful time this weekend in athens. we rented this place out to stay after a megan moroney concert (which was 10 minutes away from the stadium, akins ford arena, super convenient) and it was the best decision we could’ve made. complex is new, feels very private, absolutely gorgeous inside and out, and offered many different things (gym, pool table, pool, etc.). because it sits in the same area a publix, taco bell, mindless, and more, we were able to get all of our grocers, some food before and after the concert, and some breakfast the following morning before leaving (it is also WALKING distance which was GREAT!). the host was extremely attentive and responded almost immediately. we will for sure be staying here again whenever we have a reason to travel back up to athens. 10/10 recommendation! place was also super clean and spacious.

Had such a great time staying here! The cabin was very clean and the area was very peaceful. I would definitely recommend this unit!

Jess was an absolutely fantastic and amazing host. She gave us suggestions on things for our dog who has bad anxiety and events that took place while we were there. We came for a family reunion and got everything we needed to wind down on their peaceful property. Walter was a gem too. We automatically looked for him when we left and came back. He’s an addition adorable fur host as well. We will definitely rebook this property each time we are in the surrounding areas. You definitely will find this a rare jewel in the area!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶

Excellent place to recommend

If you appreciate rustic history this is the place for you. The updating and modernization was just enough to be completely comfortable but also appreciate how old the house was that we were staying in. Yvonne was great and stayed in contact with us in case we had an issue finding the property (which we did not), and even had some bread from a local bakery waiting for us. The place was close enough town to enjoy all that Athens has to offer but also be able to enjoy the quiet Georgia countryside.

This place is a gem. We loved the peaceful atmosphere on the lake and played lots of board games and cooked a ton in their amazing kitchen. Their coffee game is on point with multiple ways to brew. Highly recommend this spot.

--- **Lakefront Perfection – A Relaxing 5-Night Getaway!** We had an amazing 5-night stay at this peaceful Lake Hartwell cabin! From morning coffee with stunning lake views to cozy nights around the fire pit, every moment felt like a dream. The home was sparkling clean, fully stocked with everything we needed (including a great kitchen, fast WiFi, and comfy beds), and the location was unbeatable for boating, fishing, and relaxing. The private dock was perfect for lake days, and we loved how pet-friendly and family-ready the space was. The host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, making check-in and communication a breeze. Whether you’re traveling with kids, friends, or pups, this spot offers the ideal mix of comfort and adventure. We’re already planning our return—highly recommend this hidden gem on Lake Hartwell! ---

Mark is a great guy and easy to communicate with me and my guy like his air bnb and everything was very clean

We had a perfectly relaxing few days at Apple Pie right after the craziness of Christmas! The house was spacious, just as described/pictured, and well-appointed. We lacked for nothing during our stay and the owners were great at communication...extremely responsive and helpful, and all check-in, check-out, and informational info was communicated efficiently and thoroughly. We also enjoyed all the extras...hot tub, spa space, etc. It was just a wonderful stay from start to finish!

Love this little cabin! I stay here on work trips all throughout the summer; it is a wonderful alternative to the typical hotels. Quiet and remote, and always clean.

The place is beautiful and the hosts' service is excellent and prompt. Thank you for the flexible check-in time.

This is our second time staying in this location. We had a wonderful trip and it was the perfect peaceful getaway for our anniversary. We look forward to booking again.
