Serenbe is perfect for a Zen retreat as it is focused on providing a well-lived life with arts for inspiration, agriculture for nourishment, health for well being and education for awareness. Serenbe is reminiscent of a time when life was simpler, with less mental stress and more optimal physical health. Located 40 miles south of Atlanta, visitors can enjoy the artist-in-residence program, horseback riding, yoga (even outdoors), plays and farmer’s markets. The Inn at Serenbe has 27 guest rooms located among six buildings on the grounds of the inn as well as 22 homes available for rent.
