Georgia has been the setting of countless films, novels, and songs and, after your vacation rental in Georgia; you’ll see why people are so very proud of this cultured Southern state. From the instant you arrive at your vacation rental you’ll be greeted with Georgians’ world-renowned Southern Hospitality, usually complete with an authentic southern accent! Georgians will happily give you a smile, a handshake, and advice on how to find your way through all those roads named Peachtree Street!
 
Although there are still many plantation-style homes to be visited in Georgia, long gone are Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind days. The Peach State is now a leader in culture, adventure, and recreational opportunities. The Atlanta Zoo has long been considered one of the finest zoos in the nation, and has found a solid companion in the new Georgia Aquarium. Atlanta, Georgia’s capital, is home to countless corporate headquarters and is considered a hub in the international marketplace. Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport is home to the highest traffic of any airport in the nation! And stop by Atlanta on virtually any weekend year-round and you’ll find some sort of arts, cooking, or music festival. Home to musicians such as Ray Charles, Outkast, the B-52s, REM and Ludacris, Georgians love to celebrate life, music, art, and food – and do most of it outdoors!
 
A fantastic vacation rental in Georgia doesn’t have to be limited to Atlanta – the Okefenokee Swamp offers many opportunities for alligator-sighting and boat tours. Take a self-guided inner tube tour of the Chattahoochee River in Helen, Georgia and stay for their annual Oktoberfest celebration. Make sure to book your vacation rental for the Savannah St. Patrick’s Day Parade – the streets of this quaint and normally quiet city (represented in the film and novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) are filled with revelers celebrating and drinking green beer at the largest St. Patrick’s Day party in the nation. The city even dyes their numerous fountains green for the party. Take in the gorgeous panoramic views from the top of Stone Mountain, Georgia, the largest exposed piece of granite in the world. Or head on up to Northern Georgia, throw on a backpack, and start the long hike at the southern beginning of the Appalachian Trail.
 
If sports are your favorite hobby, you can’t beat a vacation rental in Georgia for all the different sporting events. Atlanta alone hosts home games for the Falcons, Braves, Thrashers, and Hawks, not to mention several minor-league teams. Augusta is home to the annual PGA Masters Tournament, drawing visitors from around the globe. And Athens is a haven for fans of the SEC and the beloved Georgia Bulldogs. Watch the "Dawgs" stomp the visiting team "between the hedges" in Sanford Stadium – the same stadium that hosted the Olympic soccer games in 1996.
 
There are so many things to do in Georgia during your vacation rental – when you stop by the iconic Atlanta landmark the Varsity and they shout their usual "What’ll ya have? What’ll ya have?", you won’t know how to answer!
