General overview
Our 133-year-old Victorian home is in the center of the Good Life. Our 3500 sq ft with four bedrooms and four full baths is extended with a very private back porch and a very neighborly wrap-around front porch. We walk to great restaurants, the city’s most beautiful park, tennis courts, a book store, a coffee shop, a university, and a pizzeria, and we golf cart to a large but quaint downtown that hosts many movie crews. A three hour drive can get you to the mountains of the beach and it’s only one hour to the atlanta airport.
The space
The en-suite guest bedroom, kitchen, and living area are all downstairs, along with a private office. Upstairs are two more bedrooms that share use of the full bathroom with claw foot tub and the master en-suite bedroom. Our favorite areas are the back porch where my husband has created a permanent kegerator (right now full of hard cider) and the front porch, where we host friends nearly every evening.
Guest access
We prefer to limit visitors to the bottom floor but if you need more than one bedroom, we are comfortable with letting you use our (now) grown children’s rooms upstairs. We will leave the keys to our golf cart so you can enjoy a ride downtown, have a drink or three, and cart back home. We will also leave a list of restaurants that deliver and a list of tv subscriptions you are welcome to use, along with some exploration suggestions.
Notes
It’s nice ten months out of the year but the summer can get really hot.

Neighbourhood
Macon was spared by General Sherman during the Civil war, so we have gorgeous old homes all around us. I put a few pics of them and our neighborhood restaurants in this listing. Morning and evening strolls may take you through quaint neighborhoods that end in an outdoor drink at a locally owned restaurant. The gorgeous park across the street has pickle ball and tennis for $3 a day, plus a soccer field, a weekly farmer’s market, a beautiful fountain, and lots of trees that can hold your hammock. You can walk or golf cart to a leisurely dinner than will cost you less than $40 for two people and the private university looks like Disneyland lit up at night.
Getting to my home
It is best to rent a car once you land in Atlanta, Georgia. Our home is an hour’s drive south and has safe parking. You are welcome to use our golf cart to go around our lovely downtown.
Nearest airport
Atlanta airport is one hour North
Getting around
We are an hour south of atlanta so you will probably want to rent a car, but if you rather not, we live in the center of everything. Once you are here, you are welcome to use our electric golf cart to get downtown and do many fun things are within walking distance.

This was my first swap. Laura was the perfect guest to get me started on this platform. From the start she was a clear communicator, responded promptly to all questions, and helped me feel relaxed leading up to the swap. After all the messaging Laura really did feel like a friend when I picked her up from the airport. It was fun getting to know her before she dropped my family back to the airport that night. She took great care of my home, car, and cat. It was fun to watch her exploring my island home Oahu through her Facebook posts. Her kindness leaving us Georgia treats and a local gift certificate was well appreciated. Overall a great first swap and would happily welcome Laura back in the future. I look forward to creating an east coast adventure to include Laura’s home in Georgia someday. -
I had good communication with Laura throughout the stay. Olive the cat enjoyed being looked after and our home was left beautifully on our return with some lovely gifts. -
Laura and her family were wonderful guests. Contact went very well before and during their stay. We opened our house to them with a good feeling. Our cat Moos was very happy with their company. They left our house tidy and surprised us with treats and gifts. Unfortunately we were not able to meet each other, but our paths may cross again -
Laura was the most gracious and warm guest and it was lovely to meet with her over a glass (or three) of bubbles before we left for our holiday. She made us feel so relaxed about leaving our extremely affectionate cat Bruce & Feisty love-bird Albert with her & we came home to our clean and tidy home and even some delicious cookies. Would love to visit her home in the future! -
Laura & co. we’re a real delight to meet. Such warm.and friendly people. They were easy to host. They were very thoughtful and even brought American treats to Ireland for our boys! They were excellent guests and left our home in immaculate order. We’d happily host them anytime and hope to see them again one day..
