Family-friendly vacation rentals in Newton County

The photos don't do the mansion justice. It is so much better than we ever imagined. Adam was responsive, from the very moment we booked (nearly a year in advance) to the day we left. The house was beautiful and had ever amenity possible. There were 12 women for a week and we all had lots of space, both to get together and also for some much needed "alone time". I can't say enough about our experience. I would give this place the highest possible recommendation.

Staying at Jill & Bert’s place is like visiting the home of long-lost cousins – & that is how you are treated. They bend over backwards to make sure you feel at home in their charming, historic house. We were greeted by fresh-baked cookies & fresh flowers. You will find books, art & travel mementos in every nook & cranny. Our 3-generation group of 8 had all the space we needed with 2 sleeping spaces & 2 bathrooms on the first floor & 4 sleeping spaces & 2 bathrooms on the second floor. We did not have any issues with the other renters on the property, but were glad that Jill told us of their presence when we arrived, as we did hear an occasional thump from that side of the house or car door closing. The kitchen had all the space we needed to cook a holiday meal & the dining room had ample room for enjoying it. Jill even showed us where to find extra table linens to make it more festive. We loved having access to the hot tub and being able to walk to dinner one evening.

Our family had a great time in the peaceful setting of Down at the Farm. We enjoyed fishing in the pond and relaxing in and around the pool. The host was very friendly and welcoming. A great place to create family memories.

Beds are amazing! If using the heat, be warned that the bunk bed room does receive a bit more of the heat. Hot tub was incredible, and the nature around the place was so peaceful. Definitely an amazing little spot!

Very quiet neighborhood and furniture and beds were comfy. Oven works very well. It was easy to fall asleep in this place. Hot tub worked well and overall a good place to stay. It was clean and tidy too. Friendly host too, and very responsive.

Really fit what we needed. Hosts introduced themselves on arrival and even graciously offered to mail a couple articles of clothing back to me I'd forgotten in a closet. For future guests, since it is in the back of the main house, can take a second to confirm you're at the right address. The place is simple (for example, no oven or stove but does have a hot plate/griddle) as listed. It is only 20-30 minutes to walk to lots of various shops and restaurants so while the house itself is in a neighborhood, close enough to walk to things and don't have to get in a car. As long as you're not heading south, which hits the main road pretty quickly, they are all pretty nice walks to places.

I really felt at home and I admired the cleanliness of the entire space. Beautiful and peaceful sitting area, and the room was warm and clean. All amenities worked and the host has great hospitality. I would definitely book this spot for my ATL stays in the future. Thank you for being so welcoming!

What a wonderful stay! When opening the front door you are met with the stunning view of Lake View! A welcome basket full of goodies including all the fixing to make S’mores sat on the beautiful kitchen island. The Alexa Smart home is spacious and comfortable with a great deck full of comfortable furniture. One of our favorite activities was using the multiple binoculars & telescope provided to watch the bald eagles, red headed woodpeckers and loads of other birds flying by. Of course using the kayaks & paddle boards topped the favorite list. Gary & Peggy were amazing hosts!

We travel to Atlanta frequently for the food and shopping. When we do, we always try to rent Doo’s place first. We love staying here and Doo is such a wonderful host that always goes above and beyond. We feel like Doo is family and we are going to a relative’s house. You will love staying here. It is so clean, peaceful, and cozy.

I absolutely loved the property, it truly felt like home. The atmosphere was so quiet and tranquil. This is definitely one of my favorite places I've ever stayed.

We stay here often - quiet, peaceful, beautiful.

This is a wonderful property!!! Close to great restaurants and coffee. Very walkable. Beautiful and comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Great host, great place, would stay again and highly recommend

We had an amazing stay! House is beautiful and so cozy. We had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We especially loved the porch area with the fireplace and tv. Amazing outdoor retreat. All of the beds were super comfortable. And located in the best area in Athens. Gorgeous neighborhood! Thanks for everything!

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 did an extended stay. The place is fantastic! Exactly as described, plenty of space and all the amenities you need to feel at home. Super comfortable beds and the patio overlooking the pool was a great spot for outdoor meals. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a longer stay!

Sara was a great host! We needed to evacuate our home in Florida due to hurricane Milton and she was a great help in finding us a well accommodated listing for our needs. The house is in a very cute, quiet neighborhood and is close to shopping places. We enjoyed relaxing outside in the backyard for a majority of our time! Thank you Sara! If we are ever in the area again we would love to stay!

We loved our stay here! Property is gorgeous, location is great and the space had everything we needed for a weekend excursion. Will definitely plan to book again.

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.

Terrific place to stay. Shelby is a great host. We will stay again for sure.
