Rayle Vacation Rentals

"The Gillen House is a perfect destination if you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway that is close to Athens and not too far away from Atlanta. The hosts, Edward and Cynzia, were very welcoming and made us feel at home. The food at breakfast was excellent. Especially the steaks and sides that we had for dinner on our arrival evening. The room was spotless and perfect. We definitely enjoyed our stay!"

"We got exactly what was described. Nice quiet little cabin and it was great for our weekend getaway! We did arrive late and were unable to find the bath house without the map. My only critique would be to include the map with arrival instructions. Other than that, it was perfect!! Thank you so much, we'll be back for sure!"

"My husband, adult son, and I really enjoyed our stay. We were there to visit a younger son at UGA, about 25 minutes away. PROS: Lewis, the host, was easy to reach, friendly, and responded quickly to all communications. Check-in was easy with a code for a keypad. The home was very clean and had everything we needed. The couches were great for relaxing; the beds were reasonably comfortable. AC and heat worked well, and ceiling fans in the living room were a nice touch. Showers had good water pressure. The host thoughtfully provided all bed and bath linens, as well as kitchen towels, paper products, and hand/dish soap. The kitchen had all appliances you would want, even an air fryer. Too bad we’re not coffee people because the coffee bar was truly impressive. We did not use the washer/dryer, but appreciated that it was available. While not fancy, the house is nicely decorated in an antique-farm way. Also, though it didn’t apply to us, there were outlet covers on the walls, which would be helpful if you stayed there with young children. The petting zoo was great- we so enjoyed visiting the animals.CONS: 1. The front porch has a small step-off just beyond the front door that can catch you off guard, particularly after dark. I only mention it for those who have mobility issues/are not steady on their feet. 2. The Internet connection is a bit slow- ok for most uses but would make serious work a bit difficult. Overall, we would definitely recommend."
