Alex was a great host. Very responsive. The home worked great for our family. Really enjoyed walking the Greenway Trail, which was just around the corner.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautifully decorated and very clean! Alex and Meredith are excellent hosts and we hope to get a chance to stay again.

We really can’t wait to come back to this space! It felt just like home but better! So much art and love in this home! We loved being able to sleep a family of five in one room and having two porch areas to congregate. So many places, parks, and spaces to walk to and locals to run into! Our host were amazing and proactive with communication which helped since it was a busy stay for us.

Alex and Meredith were Godsends to us. We were escaping the hurricane Helene that destroyed our home town. We had no power no water and no food. We came to Athens to seek shelter. When we arrived to our first Airbnb it was not clean and not in a safe area like described on this platform. We had to scramble to find another place that would be safe for my family. We booked with Alex and Meredith and they were quick to make sure the house was ready (within the hour we booked). They checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. The artwork in the house is stunning and is created by Meredith which was a nice bonus. We highly recommend booking with Alex and Meredith!!!

Alex’s house was fantastic. It was everything described and more. The amenities were great, and Alex himself was extremely helpful. We’re looking forward to booking again soon.

We both grew up in the same small town of Vidalia, GA, but didn't meet until our college years at the University of Georgia. Now based in Athens, we share a love of art, hospitality, and travel - and we're thrilled you've chosen one of our homes as your base while exploring the Classic City.
Alex works full-time helping others start and grow their own short-term rental businesses, and on weekends you'll find him guiding rafting trips down the Ocoee River. Meredith is a botanical and mural artist; all of the art you see in our properties is her original work, and many pieces are available for purchase through her website.
Our goal is to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible - from the moment you arrive to your very last morning. If you have any questions before or during your visit, we're just a phone call or email away.
