There are nooks and crannies all over the Southeastern United States that are just picture perfect. Serenbe GA is one of those magical places. We love visiting Serenbe GA and think it’s a hidden gem just outside Atlanta. Starting at the Inn at Serenbe and strolling the gravel roads will lead you through pastures of lovely little creatures. Continuing down winding roads will lead to quaint cobblestone streets. These streets look like a perfect little community nestled in Europe. But the fun part is you are just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. During our visit, we stopped in at the Blue Eyed Daisy for a coffee and chai.
As we ventured through Serenbe GA, we found three spots that we just love for taking photos. The first is a quaint little boardwalk surrounded by birch trees. The second is The Inn at Serenbe, all around the inn is stunning. And lastly, we love the area called the arches, clean beautiful architecture, and lush landscaping make Serene an ideal location.
About The Serenbe Community
“Serenbe is an award-winning biophilic community that connects people to nature
and each other.”
Nestled on the edge of Atlanta, Serenbe is a hidden gem that exemplifies the perfect blend of pastoral beauty and thoughtful, sustainable living. This charming community was founded in the early 2000s. It offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Providing residents and visitors alike with a tranquil and picturesque setting.
The history of Serenbe is as fascinating as it is unique. The idea for this idyllic community was born when founders Steve and Marie Nygren discovered and bought a breathtaking 60-acre farm south of Atlanta. Concerned about the rapid pace of development encroaching on rural areas, the Nygrens and their neighbors decided to create a development that would protect the land and promote a connection with nature. They envisioned a community that supported a lifestyle of health and sustainability. Grounded in principles that felt both innovative and wonderfully traditional.
Quaint Charm and Stunning Beauty
Today, Serenbe is known for its quaint charm and stunning beauty. Lush forests, rolling hills, and acres of protected green spaces that invite peaceful exploration. The architecture seamlessly blends with the natural environment, featuring Craftsman, European, and Colonial-style homes that offer modern amenities while maintaining a rustic aesthetic. The community’s layout encourages walking, with paths and trails winding through meadows and past organic farms.
Serenbe’s commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of its design and operations. From its energy-efficient buildings to its local food production. The community hosts a thriving organic farm, farmers’ markets, and several farm-to-table restaurants that offer delicious, fresh, and ethically sourced meals.
Beyond its environmental initiatives, Serenbe is culturally vibrant, boasting a rich array of arts and entertainment options. The community regularly hosts outdoor plays, film screenings, and art shows. Fostering a strong sense of community and creativity among its residents.
Visiting Serenbe is like stepping into a storybook, where the pace of life slows and the world seems more connected and harmonious.
