Top Bell Lake Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Athens West

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was so helpful, arrived late. Room was clean and comfortable."

Charming Duplex: 12 Mi to UGA & Sanford Stadium!

10/10 Excellent

"This was hands down the best VRBO stay I’ve ever had. I’ve stayed in several vacation rentals over the years, but this one truly stood out.From the moment we arrived, you could tell how thoughtful the hosts are. One of the first things I noticed was the fresh farm eggs and bottled water waiting for us. It may seem like a small detail, but it meant so much. When I travel, I usually pack a few eggs and a few bottles of water because many places don’t provide those things. Seeing them already there made me feel welcomed and cared for.The home itself was spotless, comfortable, and fully equipped with everything we needed. The kitchen had everything necessary for cooking, the washer and dryer were incredibly convenient, and the bed was very comfortable. We especially enjoyed the peaceful setting, the large yard, and the screened-in back porch where we could relax and enjoy the quiet surroundings.The hosts were kind, responsive, and genuinely helpful throughout our stay. Every detail showed thoughtfulness and care. It felt less like staying in a rental and more like being welcomed by people who truly want their guests to have a wonderful experience.I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and well-appointed place to stay."

"Maggie was an absolutely amazing host! She was incredibly helpful, responsive, and made the entire experience seamless from start to finish. The place was beautiful, spotless, and had everything we could have possibly needed during our stay. Every detail was thoughtfully provided, making us feel right at home. Communication was quick and easy, and Maggie was always available if we had any questions. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable, stress-free stay. Thank you, Maggie, for such a wonderful experience!"

13 mins to Downtwn & Stadium - Game Room - Game Day

8/10 Good

"House checked the box for a quick overnight stay. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because of linens. NO linens provided for sofa bed or rollaway. Some of the beds didn’t have real sleeping pillows either only small decorative ones. If owner beefed up the linen situation it would have been a much better stay. Needed more towels as well. Messaged about needing more linens and received no response back."

Garden House DT Watkinsville- Minutes to Athens

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely stunning place! It’s decorated well and feels so inviting and tranquil. Plus, the tub in the master is the tub of dreams. Everything was super clean. Lori is hands down one of the most communicative hosts I’ve ever dealt with. She checked in, was quick to respond, and truly made me feel welcome. I plan on exclusively booking this place for all my future trips. "
