Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Athens

Our home unfortunately flooded and I was completely distraught since my husband was out of town. I reached out to this place on the lake to see if we could stay that same night since our home was being torn apart. Danelle responded right away and we were able to check in within a couple hours of booking. What a relief! We booked 4 nights since that was what was available. Then, when their weekend booking canceled, she reached out to me immediately and offered for us to stay through the weekend. We very much needed that since our home was still being worked on. The home had everything we could possibly need including things we didn’t need but it was nice to have (sonic ice? Heck yes!). The lake was exactly what we needed after all we had been through. The kids loved the kayaks and jumping off the docks! The roof deck was perfect for laying out in the sun. We had all the beach towels we needed and the couch was super comfy. We couldn’t be more grateful for Buffalo Inn. 10/1

My family and I stayed here this past weekend and it was awesome! We stayed in the Mermaid Cabin and the view was amazing. It was really quiet and peaceful, and watching the sunset was so beautiful. The host was really nice and friendly to us. We had such a good time and we’re definitely coming back. I totally recommend this place if you want to relax and have fun with your family!

Our stay in Tyler was nothing short of perfect! The home is nestled in a wonderfully quiet neighborhood, offering a peaceful retreat while still being just minutes from some of the best restaurants and shops in town. The location truly couldn’t be better for exploring everything Tyler has to offer. The host was incredibly responsive and made us feel welcome from the moment we booked, always quick to answer questions and provide helpful local tips. What really set this home apart were the spa-like amenities—the private sauna and hot tub turned our getaway into a true relaxation experience. After a day out, unwinding in the hot tub or sauna made us feel like we were at a luxury spa. We can’t recommend this place highly enough for anyone seeking comfort, convenience, and a touch of indulgence in Tyler!

Fantastic stay at Sunset Shores with my family! We grew up on Lake Athens and knew the area well. This is such a beautiful lot and the home (and dock!!) have been spectacularly renovated. Plus, the hosts clearly use the space because it has everything you could possibly need. I always favor lived in AirBnBs for exactly that reason. We will be back. Thank you, Shane!

Our stay was great, home was clean and very nice was as described in listing will return. We enjoyed our stay!! Thanks Shirley for sharing your home!!!!

Beautiful place excellent attention and it is the same as in the images we enjoyed it a lot we cleared up we fished 🥰 everything incredible very comfortable calm perfect weather 👌 definitely recommended to enjoy your days here

Amazing serenity, natural beauty and relaxation! Loved the decks, watching the waterbirds, grilling and just being. There's something very soothing to the soul to be away from all the energy and being surrounded by peaceful nature! And still just be 10 minutes to the places like Walmart, groceries fast food etc. The Best of both worlds! The house was very comfortable, clean and had plenty to keep you busy from games, to television etc. Host Charley was responsive to communication and friendly.. He's has a real slice of paradise! Thank you for sharing it!

This is the third time we have rented this house and won't be the last.. It is perfect for family gatherings. Something for all ages and interests. The hosts are always spot on. Great location close to everything but back away from the road to feel private.

Our stay was great. A very peaceful place with a Great Host. Betsy was always checking in on us. We had no problems and we look forward to staying again..

We were very pleased with our 6 night stay. Our GPS took us right there but we were also given clear written directions. Any questions we had were promptly answered . The apartment complex borders on the city park which gave us privacy and a quiet environment . Our little dog had a great area to have daily walks. The apartment looked just like the pictures and had all the comforts of home. We really liked having a laundry available to us in the building as well. We could continue our travels with clean clothes. That was so convenient. We had a great stay . We highly recommend this Airbnb.

Nice place! Our stay was very short and as such we didn’t have time to tour the garden, and more importantly meet the Great Dane that we had read about in other reviews. The property is located in an incredible historic district a short walk to the concert we were attending. Very clean upon arrival and had everything we needed. Would be thrilled to stay again!

We only stayed overnight but the place was as expected from the listing description and pictures. It was very clean and appointed in such a way that felt put together but also not cluttered. It’s like if the clean girl aesthetic was an apartment. Did a little cooking and the kitchen had essentials in place, but wasn’t heavily stocked. Good for light cooking but probably not for anything more ambitious. The beds were comfortable, I appreciated how clean the floors, bathrooms and beds were. Everything was quite clean, those are just my top priority items. Good communication from the owners as we were approaching check in. He was proactive and I didn’t have to reach out for any of the info, it was very clear. Didn’t have any issues or get to use the pool, but it was a good experience.

I had a wonderful time here, everything was very organized and clean. Lizzie was extremely responsive and helpful about everything! I would highly recommend this spot for anybody looking for a place to stay in Tyler!

Although it was smaller than places we normally rent, it was sufficient for our needs. Close to work, convenient to many restaurants and stores. William responded quickly to messages and accommodated with any concern we had.

I’m so glad we went. It was one of our best weekend trips. Needed some peace and quiet. The property was well maintained and they really made us feel at home. Constantly making sure we had all we needed. We got to see their homestead and the beautiful craftsmanship and love that Doug had put into their home. It’s a place that you can go and spend some quality time with God and be near His beautiful country. We really feel like we made some great friends and will definitely return again. We originally went there to go to canton first Monday. Honestly we were only at Canton for around maybe 1 1/2hrs and spent the remainder at Connie and Doug’s place. It was so much fun staying in the studio apartment above the barn, just like in heartland! Thanks again for great conversations and friendship! Go check it out you won’t be disappointed!!

We really enjoyed our stay! Our family has property on Lake Palestine right around the corner to visit with family during the day. It was very convenient and comfortable to come to each night for a peaceful night. I really like the natural products provided for us - hand soap, lotion and cleaning spray. Our host responded quickly to some minor needs. We plan to stay here next time we are in the area.

Beautiful location on the lake, communicative host, comfortable condo! I will recommend to family & friends.

Incredible! Beautiful property, perfect amount of space, cleanest beds and bathrooms I’ve seen. Worth every penny! Will book again!

We brought our two young children to this condo for a long weekend and it exceeded our expectations. It was super easy to check in and the condo was so welcoming and clean! We felt like we were staying at a friends house instead of a rental the whole time. It was very cozy. We endured a pretty serious storm while we were there and never lost power even though that storm was wicked! The pool was absolutely fabulous. We barely were out of it. The harbor restaurant next-door has some of the best food we’ve ever had. We tried tons of stuff on their menu and it was all so delicious. The beds were comfortable and did I mention how clean it was?! Melissa was wonderful and was only a text away the whole time. The only thing I would make sure of is the elevators working. They were semi functional during our stay and we made do, but it was difficult. It would be hard if not impossible for elderly people or some others to physically get by without the elevators. Absolutely will be back!

Great condo located at the holiday in vacation villages resort! Clean and lots to do for the whole family.

Enjoyed our stay immensely! Super clean and spacious. I would definitely recommend this Airbnb to family and friends.

Wow.. Nice excellent service will be back at the Villages!

We had a fantastic time, would definitely recommend!

It looks just like the pictures had plenty of beds, very clean, very peaceful, the host was easy to get in touch with answered questions promptly, the driveway was rough getting into, and no access to the water. Had a great stay, would recommend.
