About your hosts

Hosted by Alex and Meredith

We both grew up in the same small town of Vidalia, GA, but didn't meet until our college years at the University of Georgia. Now based in Athens, we share a love of art, hospitality, and travel - and we're thrilled you've chosen one of our homes as your base.

Alex works full-time helping others start and grow their own short-term rental businesses, and on weekends you'll find him guiding rafting trips down the Ocoee River. Meredith is a botanical and mural artist; all of the art you see in our properties is her beautiful work, and many pieces are available for purchase through her website.

Our goal is to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible - from the moment you arrive to your very last morning. If you have any questions before or during your visit, we're just a phone call or email away.
