A sustainable farming community and inn nestled 20 miles from Atlanta airport. Charming setting, amazing food, total bliss. Don't miss the stone labyrinth hidden just beyond the cow pasture. http://fathomaway.com/guides/usa/us-south/itineraries/us-road-trips-south/
If the height alone doesn't do it, the view from the bluff-top gazebo overlooking a sheer drop into the Tennessee River Valley will literally take your breath away. Vintage yearbooks and board games in the downstairs sitting room and jazz-packed local radio stations are more fun than in-room TVs could ever be.
It's a dry county, so pack accordingly. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-south/
Old-world tasteful, plush, riverfront hotel. Recently renovated, it has an excellent restaurant and an even better bar. The vibe is European yet Southern. And it's cheaper than it should be. http://fathomaway.com/postcards/romance/most-romantic-hotels-us-south/
