A wonderfully relaxing stay!

We had such a comfortable stay at this cottage. It is absolutely gorgeous and stocked with everything we needed! Communication with our host was easy and quick. Check-in/out process was all easy. This was a wonderful weekend of family quality time, and our stay was made luxurious by staying here. Thank you so much to our hosts! If you decide to stay here, you’ll be blown away too! Their only request is to please, please leash your dogs if they are outside on the property and to take them to potty behind the house. There are some cats and chickens that live there, so please protect them by being mindful of your doggies. ❤️

One Week in GA

The overall property at Bunny Hill is beautiful! It’s a quiet cottage with lots of room to spread out in the house and on the grounds, we stayed for 7 nights. My family and I drove from FL, about 9 hour drive from where we live, it took us all day to get there, we didn’t arrive until after dark around 6:30pm. The only reason I’m giving this property 4-stars, is that upon arriving at the destination, Juliann had no clue we were even booked for that night. I had messaged her an hour prior to our arrival saying I never got an access code or information about how to enter the house, no response. I tried calling twice and no pick up, luckily she lives on the property and I had to knock on her door. She apologized many times, and asked us to come back in a hour, as she still had to get the house ready/cleaned, because she got the dates mixed up. On my part, this had never happened to me before for a VRBO stay and I was shocked considering she had such wonderful reviews on her listing, it was not a good first impression and it was a huge inconvenience for my 2 toddler kids, mother, my husband and my dog. She did reimburse me for some of the cleaning fee, which was appreciated, but we were all tired from driving all day and for someone not to remember that we booked the VRBO was terrible. Besides this issue, the rest of our stay was great. She had texted us almost every day to ask if we needed anything and if everything was ok, which was very kind. I did think a lot of the outlets of the house were older and some were spotty and didn’t work well. The kitchen was big and beautiful, but missing many day-to-day items, such as whisk or scissors and more silverware would have be useful. The overall house was very clean and comfortable and the massive chandelier in the sitting area was breathtaking. She had it decorated beautifully. The walkway down to the house was horrible for older people, and is in need a railing/fixing and more lighting, especially at night when everything is so dark. Overall, the property was a quiet retreat close to many little shops and conveniently located to Helen and Cleveland.

Wonderful Getaway!

This property was wonderful! So clean and lovely. Juli was great and so responsive to any questions we had! Clarksville was centrally located, we made easy day trips to Helen & Clayton. Our boys loved being outside on the property, they ran, played and loved looking for the chickens and cats that live there! We would definitely return, we had a wonderful time!

July 2022

The house was as it appeared in the online pictures. Grounds were as described by the owner. Everything was comfortable except the bathroom situation downstairs. It would have helped to have had it clarified the downstairs arrangement with bedrooms and the shared bathroom. It is fine for a family but we had adults who were part of a mission team. Two couples and one woman had planned to stay there until we realized that the bathroom was located in the bedroom with large bed. That meant the woman staying in the twin bedroom would have to go through the bedroom one of the couples was staying in to get to the bathroom. We had to make other arrangements for her lodging. It ended up that only four people stayed there. Thanks for all your assistance!

Very clean!

My family came up for a quick trip to enjoy the area for Christmas time. We were pleased with the house and the attention to detail. Everything was very clean. There was plenty enough towels , linens, dish ware and everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. Our favorite part of the stay was the resident cats on the property. They made us very welcome! There was only one con (and I’m only saying this because it’s barely a con) and that was the walkway to the house is a bit uneven and steep. So small children or people with difficulty walking might find it hard to navigate. Otherwise I highly recommend it! Thanks again for having us :)

About the host

Hosted by juli Eddy

My husband and I have traveled all over the world, after living in Atlanta for 25 years we decided to come home to the old homestead. Retired furniture designer/manufacturer and interior designer after renovating our property, decided to open the other homes on the property to guests. We love engaging with people and creating environments for families and friends. We have been to so many places and used that advantage to predict what we think guests will love. We will not scope you out other then to check in and see how your stay is but if you want to sit and talk we are usually out and about on the property. Feel free to stop us.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in our family for over 40 years with a lot of family history. Its time to share it for others to experience the fun of north Georgia. Lately we love just enjoying the property and its views. At night, you can become entranced with the sparkling stars and sit out back. The daytime is alive with the sound of farm animals.

What makes this property unique

Private yet one mile from town. 15 miles from wineries and lakes, rafting and foothills. We are in the country but you can walk to town. It is quiet countryside but yet not far from the main happenings of downtown.
