Cozy and spacious elegant living at The Betty, minutes from downtown Athens, GA.
The Betty is a fully functioning ranch-style home, with three bedrooms (one king size bed, one queen, and one full), and two full bathrooms. It has three separate but integrated living spaces: a grand living/dining room, a comfortable den with a fold-out full-size futon (for kids or extra guests), and the serene sunroom leading to a large, beautiful deck where you can fire up the Weber grill and dine al fresco surrounded by backyard trees.
the place was perfect for the six of us. Cozy and clean. The host was very accommodating, and was quick to help when we needed to adjust our departure date. If we are in the area we would definitely stay here again.
The property was clean, comfortable and spacious. The neighborhood deer were in the backyard and you could watch them from the deck and sunroom. Overall great place to stay. Will definitely look to book again.
Betty is an older home in an established neighborhood thatâs well maintained and thoughtfully appointed for guests. Itâs secluded enough we were greeted by deer in the backyard but minutes away from plenty of activities.
We have stayed at many VRBO properties in the US, including several in Athens, GA. This property and the host/owner have been the only one that we've been disappointed with - extremely. The house had a strong stale/musty/smoky smell throughout, the appliances dilapidated and outdated, and the immediate neighborhood precarious for an "elegant" property as advertised. This property is far from "elegant" by any reasonable standards. Based on the inferior arrival circumstances a good faith settlement effort was made to fairly & substantially compensate the host for canceling our scheduled stay at the property but the host was completely uncooperative and belligerent - not even an offer to refund the cleaning fee for non-occupancy. Concerned with becoming sick if we stayed, we vacated the premises within minutes of arrival and stayed at a reputable downtown motel.
Communication was solid, the property was cleaned and big enough for the family. We planned on cooking Christmas dinner son my mother wouldnât have to bother with the cleanup. One problem, the oven didnât work. The description said stovetop but didnât explicitly say âno oven.â When we communicated with the property owner, they said well it wasnât one of the amenities. We were disappointed and felt misled. The property owner apologized and stated he would list it on the welcome letter. We appreciate the words but our Christmas plans were upended.
