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.

There are places so serene and lovely that they are instantly soothing to the spirit. These places are little pockets of peace in our busy lives. One such place is located right here in Georgia, just about an hour’s drive from Atlanta and only a few minutes away from Athens.

You can find a little taste of magic in the town of Watkinsville, Georgia. Located just down the road from the Elder Bridge (a lovely covered bridge that you’ll want to take the time to visit while you’re out that way) and set back into the forest is the beautiful home and studio housing Little Rose Nature School.

Using dried gourds and supplies found in the forest on the nature walk, the class teaches the process of creating a faerie fort. Assistants stand at the ready to help younger children with the art supplies and construction, but imaginations run wild in the design of each house.
