Planning an event in Athens, GA? A daytime staff retreat? Intimate corporate reception? Private happy hour? Athens’ own Lavender Hill Bed & Breakfast has you covered. 

Lavender Hill offers the best of both worlds. Nestled next to the University of Georgia’s tranquil East Campus (a quiet section of Athens home to the UGA Golf Course and State Botanical Gardens), Lavender Hill provides a peaceful oasis free from distractions while keeping you and your crew only a four mile drive away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. 

The cottage itself, which seamlessly combines elegance and class with homey Southern hospitality, is the perfect place for a mixer, and it has the capacity to host 40 guests for seated dinners, meeting, or cocktail hours. Equipped with a cozy sitting room, wraparound porch, and lush backyard area, Lavender Hill integrates indoor and outdoor experiences and can accommodate both rain and shine! 

The best part? Booking Lavender Hill is not the same as simply reserving a space. Booking Lavender Hill means crafting an experience. Lavender Hill is owned and operated by Jihan Bradford, an event planner with over a decade of industry experience. Bradford and her team will manage every aspect of your event from decor to music to catering to clean-up. 

Bradford truly understands hospitality, and the guest experience at Lavender Hill reflects that. 

“[It’s] my responsibility to make sure that people feel hospitality from the moment that they even engage with the company, as opposed to just the event itself,” she said. 

Check out Lavender Hill for your next meeting, party, or retreat to experience firsthand the hospitality that Bradford and her team can offer!
