I loved EVERYTHING about this property. The thoughtful touches were everywhere. Amazing decor. Delicious breakfast. Snacks and drinks were always available. Will stay here again everytime I visit Athens!
The Rushmore is on par with 4 & 5-star hotels. Truly elegant, whimsical, tasteful, and details do not want. I stayed in Ranger; it suited me to a t. Cameron and Candace are gracious hosts, very attentive and kind. A lovely stay!
