Atlanta City Guide

Romantic Georgia Bed and Breakfasts Inns

Romantic Georgia Bed and Breakfasts Inns By Donna Beasley One of the things I love about living in the Atlanta area is that you can go from the city to the country in 30 minutes; from the city to the mountains in under two hours and from the city to the Georgia coast in under 4 hours. This swing in natural environment provides a wonderful selection of romantic bed and breakfasts locations for your romantic getaway. The following four romantic bed and breakfasts recommendations will inspire your love and put the zing in any relationship. The Inn at Serenbe Located just half an hour south of Atlanta Hartsfield Airport is 65,000 acres of rolling woods, farmlands, streams and trails called the Chattahoochee Hill Country. Nestled in the midst of this nature wonderland is the Inn at Serenbe, a rustic getaway that is perfect for romance. The Serenbe Inn occupies a century old, clapboard farmhouse decorated with rustic chic. Additional guest accommodations include, The Guest House, a restored 1930?s horsebarn that has been converted into a three-bedroom, four bath guest house. Other cottages with unique features and varying amenities are also available for rent. A stay at the inn includes an afternoon tea, bedtime sweets, a full country breakfast, plus a lake and 900 acres of trails to explore. The Farmhouse restaurant serves recipes made with fresh, organic ingredients locally grown on the Serenbe farms.

Each morning you?ll enjoy a three-course southern gourmet breakfast. If you?d like to get more rustic, consider a private mountain hideaway. Overlook Inn has twelve cabins and each sits on 5 to 7 acres of land with a panoramic view of the mountains. You can take advantage of what the Georgia Mountains have to offer, whether you?re staying at the Overlook Inn or Hearthstone Lodge. Outdoor adventure enthusiasts can enjoy kayaks, biking, horseback riding and whitewater rafting. If you?d like to take it a bit easier consider a hike in the Fort Mountain State Park, or a stroll along the banks of Carter Lake, or drive over to sample the wines at one of the local wineries. Of course, you can also do absolutely nothing more strenuous than getting a massage and sitting in the rocking chair enjoying the view. The Overlook Inn is located at 864 Wilderness View, Chatsworth, Ga, 30705.

Beach Bed and Breakfast is a pricey option but you?re only a skip away from the sand and surf. Is there anything better than you and your sweetie listening to the waves breaking on the beach, from your private balcony, while watching a spectacular sunset? A romantic retreat to any of these unique Bed and Breakfasts locations will provide impeccable service, the personal touch of the inn keeper, the beauty of nature and ensure unforgettable memories to last a lifetime.
