Serenbe is a true hidden gem in Georgia and deserves a visit. New York Times called this intentional community a "utopia" of sorts, and with one visit through the natural pathways, the farmer's market, or dinner at The Farmhouse, you will certainly see why.
Summer + milkshakes are what dreams are made of. Especially when you visit Shakeaway and build your very own dreamy deliciousness. With toppings, flavors and ideas a'plenty, this milkshake bar screams summer adventure.
Rolater Lake in Cave Spring, Georgia offers public swimming in a serene, natural setting. Take the family and spend the day soaking up the sun and floating through the spring-fed water.
There aren't too many places in our country that have such a phenomenal museum dedicated to both nature and science. Take the whole family and get lost in the magic of Tellus Science Museum for the perfect summer afternoon.
Little St. Simons Island is a natural beauty in Georgia that deserves to be explored. Sometimes all you need is a weekend getaway filled with nothing but sunsets, beachside views, and true Southern charm.
Nothing says summer more than the beach. But if you prefer to stay ashore and feast, then ECHO is the restaurant for you. Enjoy a happy hour on the deck, or a delicious meal as you watch the sunset. This is a summer adventure for those romantics at heart.
What better way to celebrate summer than with an incredible road trip?! Make memories that will last a lifetime as you explore some of the best parts of beautiful and stunning North Georgia.
Despite the longer than usual waits, you will easily discover that the homemade, Southern-style food at Blue Willow Inn is completely worth the wait. Not to mention, it is served buffet-style to boot.
On August 21, 2017 there will be a total solar eclipse traveling from coast to coasts, which hasn't happened since 1918. Lucky for Georgians, a little slice of our northeast state is right in the path of totality. You do not want to miss this.
