Serenbe is an award-winning wellness community with an intimate country inn (The Inn at Serenbe) located just outside the city of Atlanta—but it feels a world away from everything. Indeed, just 30 minutes south of the Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson, the busiest airport in the world, this rustic yet sophisticated hamlet sits quietly in the rolling Chattahoochee foothills. If you weren’t looking for it, you’d probably whiz right by on your way to something far less exciting. This hybrid of close-to-the-city-but-remote is what makes visiting and staying at Serenbe so utterly unique. Indeed, the Inn at Serenbe will woo you with delicious farm to table dining, miles of nature trails, horseback riding, world-class theater, and cycling. But chances are that once you leave you will have done more than get a spa treatment or try goat yoga in the meadow; you will have put a down payment on a home.
