EmbracE thE Joy of missing out Escape to Georgia’s Lake Country Nestled on 100 acres, The Farmhouse Inn in Madison offers a gently unplugged escape not quite off the beaten path – where peacocks strut, fireflies glimmer, and a Dutch baby pancake doused in blackberry syrup is waiting for you in the morning. Here, you can wake to the hum of bees, feel the sun warm your skin, smell flowers, and kick back in a sweet wooden rocker. Make time to meet the furry local residents, from grazing horses, cows, and goats to feathered friends like chickens, turkeys, and ducks. Or, meander along one of the inn’s three walking paths, hugged by wild grass and trees for a peaceful walk, before launching a kayak on the pond. Whether you’re a solo traveler, in a couple, or a big family group, the inn has a place for you. Pick the accessible Americana Room for its picturesque views of the verdant garden and a red-brick courtyard strewn with fairy lights. Or, opt for the two-bedroom Hillside Cottage , where you can laze on the front porch with your furry best friend (it’s the inn’s only pet-friendly option). The five-bedroom Farmhouse is fully equipped for a family or friend group of 12, boasting farm-chic furnishings and a big, welcoming kitchen. Before your day begins, fuel up with a complimentary garden-to-table breakfast. You’ll relish the fluffy omelettes (the eggs were laid right here!), crispy bacon, and blueberry-laden French toast. Not only are these meals homemade by the inn’s chef, but they also use ingredients from a network of local farmers and the inn’s thriving garden.
