Get ready because by the time you are done reading this, you will be already thinking of when you and your girls can sneak away to Dahlonega for the perfect girls getaway.
Looking like it came directly from the pages of Southern Living, the Wander Inn is absolutely stunning. Have your camera ready, because this entire designer cottage is Instagram worthy. This gorgeous property sleeps 4 comfortably. With one master bedroom with the most comfortable king size bed I have ever slept on and an adorable loft with two twins, you and your guests will sure sleep happy and well. Plus, with two bathrooms (stunning bathrooms might I add) there is plenty of room to feel rested and cozy.
The kitchen is dream-worthy. From the detailed tile work, industrial shelving design and dark cabinets – you would be absolutely content staying in and enjoying your meals from the comfort of the Wander Inn. In fact that is exactly what we did. The girls and I enjoyed the perfect kind of night – taco night, and had everything we needed with the amenities provided in the kitchen.
The living space is also stunning. Cozy living chairs and stunning white couch makes for the best place to drink your margaritas and wine. Or head outside to enjoy the front porch equipped with rocking chairs. Afterwards, head to backyard to enjoy an extremely cozy fire pit. Plus, the Wander Inn comes equipped with all that you need to make delicious s’mores.
And after you enjoy all that there is, and then rest so comfortably, and wake up feeling SO refreshed, enjoy your coffee with a view thanks to the mini-coffee maker (bring k-cups) and the French press. Most importantly, be ready to spend quality time with your best people in the comfort and stunning design of the Wander Inn. You will surely leave your stay with the most full heart and content.
