As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.

For those of us that live in Georgia cities, it can feel like we’re a little too connected at times. This goes doubly true if you’re in the Atlanta metropolitan area – all that traffic makes the city seem ten times bigger than it really is! It’s easy to feel disconnected from nature if you spend most of your time in cities, and even though we have a lot of state parks and amazing trails in Georgia, it’s only natural to get overwhelmed with life’s responsibilities and not be able to find the time to get out and explore the beautiful scenery that is all around us. If you’ve been feeling a little stressed lately, a weekend getaway may be just what you need, and we’re featuring a great one for you today. This rustic weekend trip to Alpharetta, GA will let you abstain from all you don’t need and enjoy the things you do. Check it out:

Alpharetta may seem an odd location for a rustic getaway. This bustling Atlanta suburb has around 66,000 people, and is located in Fulton County, the state's most populated county.

However, the Alpharetta area also has its own little horse country area, and that's just where you'll find Cowboy Courtyard.
