The 12 Best & Most Unique Airbnbs in Georgia

Welcome to the Peach State, known for its beautiful natural scenery, temperate climate, music and arts festivals, signature breweries, and local history.

Between the vibrant downtown scene of Atlanta, the coastal hub of historic Savannah, the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains in northern Georgia, and the many charming small towns around the state, you can easily split time between the city and the great outdoors as you please.

If you’re headed into the woods to chase waterfalls, go fishing, or leaf-peep in the fall, you can pick from multiple modes of transportation; hiking, kayaking, boating, whitewater rafting, and biking are all at your disposal across the state. With its stellar state parks, undeveloped beaches, and eclectic towns, you really should have Georgia on your mind — for your next getaway, that is.
