Family-friendly holiday rentals in Jackson County

This was a great get-away tucked into the woods yet in a town. The house was perfect for three couples or 6 BFFs =)

The best BnB we have ever stayed in. Everything was extremely lovingly furnished and the entire house was really impressive. We had a wonderful time and contact with the landlords was always easy. The pictures in the ad do not reflect the true beauty of the property. Simply outstanding. We'd love to come back.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home is lovely and spacious with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. The grounds and surrounding area are so pretty and peaceful. The hosts were very accommodating and helpful, and quick to respond both before and during our stay. Loved the hot tub too!

This was an amazing experience. I started communicating with John 13 months before my sons wedding to stay there plus host a large rehearsal dinner. ( it grew to 80 people!). John allowed - welcomed me- to come see the property to check out the layout for what I needed giving my caterer information and planning for our stay. I needed to move furniture and a few other things and when I asked John if it was ok, his reply was, “it’s your house”, and I truly felt that way. It was comfortable and allowed for my family to stay and as we had a few revolving guests, John provided extra linens. The rehearsal dinner was on a hot August night and I had told folks to bring a bathing suit. Several of the bridal party and friends jumped in! The animals were fun and when a few of the kitties jumped in the car when we were leaving we were tempted to steal them! Our caterer for that dinner and a farewell brunch lived the set up of this place as well. I honestly cannot recommend it enough! Thanks John!

We had a wonderful week in this home. There were 4 adults and 2 teenagers and 1 dog. All of us found spots to relax. It’s been about 2 weeks since we were there, and what stuck with me was sitting in the back porch in the mornings listening to the birds and watching the great blue heron. If I could change something about the house, I would have 2 bathrooms upstairs, but I know that would be an expensive investment. It would also be great to have more places to hang towels. Thank you so much Jauxniece! You were so good to us!!!!

We absolutely loved this property and enjoyed every minute of our stay at Angel Cove! It is the best-equipped place we have ever stayed and feels more like a home than a rental property. The place is exactly like the pictures (actually even better) Nothing at all is lacking - an abundance of small kitchen appliances, top of the line washer/dryer. I especially appreciated 1) the good shower pressure and hot water 2) good internet speed if you need to work 3) TV in the master and upstairs 4) plenty of room to spread out in. I have to mention the peacefulness and beauty of the surroundings, we slept soundly every night. It's a beautiful neighborhood for morning and evening walks. We were a family of 5 and enjoyed the spaciousness and loved the recliners in the living room! We were so lucky to find this property and we booked our next stay before we even checked out. Anthony is super responsive as all the other reviewers have commented. Awesome, awesome stay! Thank you!!!

My family enjoyed their stay! The place was comfortable and beautiful! Host was friendly and responsive! Loved the location - would definitely recommend.

We enjoyed the relaxing location, the cabin with historical items from UGA and a career photographer. The suite downstairs is private and the king bed is so comfortable. The main floor has a nice bedroom as well. The bridal party got ready in it. The loft was a favorite for the view.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay! Alys’s place was perfect for my trip and was exactly as described. She was a great host and communicated well. It was in a quiet area with walking trails in the back yard and convenient to get anywhere in town. I highly recommend!

This Airbnb was amazing! The host went above and beyond, making the stay truly memorable. The space was spotless, private, and beautifully decorated for the holidays, creating a cozy and festive atmosphere. The view was stunning, and the location couldn’t have been better—convenient and peaceful. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

Awesome place in Athens! Really close to the University. Stay here! It’s sooo easy!

For our first Airbnb experience, it could not have been better. My husband is handicap and downstairs was perfect for him and his rolator/walker. Wide doors and step-in shower. Thank you so much!!

I took my teenage daughter and her friend for a 'girls' weekend' at the lake. Karen's place was absolutely perfect and she was an exceptional host. We did have a small issue with the AC, which Karen corrected immediately. She was very responsive, very friendly, and very accommodating. (Plus this AirBnb comes with a DOG!! Sam is the sweetest goodest boy). We would definitely return to Karen's place and highly recommend it.

The space is beautiful, inside and out! Krysia really has went above and beyond with the room. Everything you could have questions about are labeled and easy to find! There is a huge selection of tea, coffee, sparkling water provided… and the best part - there is sugar, honey, creamer (dairy and non-dairy), cinnamon, salt, pepper, etc. Little things like that truly make a stay worth while! We brought our 3 dogs with us and it was perfect for a weekend getaway, and having access to the garden was icing on the cake. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet place to stay in WALKABLE distance to downtown!

Great place to share with a small group, close to downtown.

This was an amazing location. We we're at an event at UGA, and this location was at best a 5 minute drive there. There is a great shopping center right around the corner. We had our kids with us (12, 10, 8) and all the places we wanted to look okay we're within a 15 minutes drive. Jon was a great host, and was great to work with on the arrangements. I highly recommend this property.

Nice place to stay. Would stay again.

David's basement was as described and is in a private quiet area. Plenty of places to shop and eat nearby. David's girlfriend, Sandi, was extremely accommodating and would check in on me periodically to ask what would make my stay better. The hosts are very communicative and I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a clean and peaceful home away from home.

We came up for our daughter’s graduation and felt right at home. Very spacious and clean. Beds were very comfortable. Easy to get to all of our events for the weekend.

Only minutes away from Athens via scenic country roads. Easy access. Presumably the pool house of the host but felt private and actually never saw anyone else. Was a fall visit so didn’t use the pool though pool area looked fun.

Ms. Carla was a great host she went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Her apartment is exactly as described it was so beautiful. The kids loved the movie theatre. We had to stay here as our home was under construction and it was our home away from home. She was an amazing host and I would come back. I can not express enough how thankful I am for Ms. Carla.

It really was a nice place to stay for 2.5 days. I was here with my daughter as she was chosen to be part of the GMEA All-State full orchestra. Definitely would recommend Wendy’s unit if you need to stay in Athens for a day or two. Very responsive and engaged host, she’ll make sure you are set for whatever you need.

The view, grill, dock on the lake is an absolute gem of a location with its Serenity and peace! Shelby is a superb hostess, available and responsive if anything were needed.
