Romantic Weekend Getaways for Couples in Georgia

From Mountain Retreats to Beachside Fun, Georgia Has it All

Tucked away in the beautiful, richly historic state of Georgia are some of the nation's most romantic and peaceful retreats for couples. Whether you prefer a cabin in the mountains, a B&B on the Chattahoochee River, or an antebellum mansion full of mystery, Georgia has the right weekend vacation spot for any taste. Imagine the perfumed scent of full blooming magnolia trees, the taste of sweet tea and soul food, and abounding southern hospitality, and you will begin to have a sense of what a weekend in Georgia is like.

In the west central portion of the state, approximately one hour south of Atlanta, you will find the Gates House Bed and Breakfast in Columbus, Georgia. Built in 1873, the Gates House is decorated in Victorian fashion, with crystal chandeliers, silk bedspreads, and antique furniture. When guests arrive on Broad Street, located within walking distance of the famous Chattahoochee Riverwalk along the Chattahoochee River, they are greeted as family. Names are remembered upon second visits, as well as special personal preferences. Each room is equipped with all of the modern conveniences, including a mini refrigerator, a TV, alarm clock, broadband cable modems, and a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub. Guests are offered free refreshments in the dining area at all times, and breakfast consists of homemade breads, fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, eggs, and just about anything you can dream up that could satisfy your deepest cravings. The tiny but lavish inn is located within walking distance of the Springer Opera House (the state theatre of Georgia renowned for its famous visitors and haunted corridors), the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts, as well as several historical homes.
