The Inn at Serenbe
Tucked into Georgia's rolling landscape 30 minutes from the Atlanta airport, this inn seems worlds away from the hustle and bustle of Y'allywood. Situated on 1,000 acres of forestland and wildflower meadows, the getaway is connected to the surrounding Serenbe community—"a village of people living in a community of trees," according to the town's founder—by 15 miles of trails. Locally grown ingredients grace the plates at The Farmhouse Restaurant.
