  • Walk to the Stadium: Herty House (Upper Level)

    Ideal Location, Walk to the stadium! | Historic Athens Home *Upper Level Only* with Modern Luxury & Tailgate Yard

    Ideal location - This home sits in one of the most sought-after spots in Athens. Located just off the iconic Milledge Avenue, placing you right in the heart of the action on game days and throughout the year. The property is directly across from the freshman dorms, making it ideal for visiting parents, alumni, and anyone wanting to be close to campus life.

    Walk to Sanford Stadium, the UGA campus, Five Points, and Downtown Athens — all within minutes. Whether you’re here for a game, a campus visit, or a night out, you’ll have unbeatable access without ever needing to worry about parking.

    If you want the perfect Athens tailgate base with everything at your fingertips, this location is hard to beat.

    Step into history at Herty House, a fully renovated home located in the Athens Historic District. Built in 1893, the same year Charles Herty established the UGA football program, this home has been completely gut-renovated down to the last stud, blending historic charm with modern luxury.

    Main Level Comfort & Luxury:
    The primary bedroom features a king bed, spa-like ensuite with a jacuzzi tub, his-and-hers vanities, and a spacious walk-in closet. A guest suite with a queen bed and private bathroom adds comfort and privacy for friends or family.

    Upstairs Sleeping & Entertainment:
    Two spacious upstairs bedrooms accommodate six guests with 2 queen beds and 2 full + 2 twin bunk beds, plus two full bathrooms.

    Entertainer’s Kitchen:
    The state-of-the-art kitchen is perfect for hosting, with an ice maker, drink cooler, double sink, wet bar, convection stove and an eight-person dining table crafted from 200+ year-old reclaimed wood from the original home.

    Outdoor & Tailgate Ready
    - Private deck with comfortable lounge chairs and a TV
    - Perfect front yard for tailgates and capturing game-day energy

    - This home has two separate units — an upper level and a lower level. If you're booking the upper level only, please keep in mind that quiet hours begin at 10pm in the event the lower level is also occupied.
    If you'd prefer total flexibility and peace of mind, we recommend booking the full home so you have the whole space to yourselves!
