There are a handful of resorts around the South that are both high-end and down home. We’ve rounded up the five best resorts in the South where pastoral beauty and quaint charm meet pure opulence.
As I finish my second year writing Two-Sided Southern, I am still having such an incredible time. I adore telling stories about the South and its people. The kind of people who embrace being both high-brow and down home as shown in these top 10 blogs of 2022.
I took my young family to Memphis on a road trip. Find out why Memphis is one of the Best Family Getaways in the South.
I don’t know about you, but new hotels get me excited about exploration and experiencing new things. Across the South,
Yonah Mountain Vineyards in Georgia is as pretty as any plot in Napa Valley or the Loire Valley. It’s arguably the best Georgia winery. The octagonal tasting room (the only one I’ve ever seen), sprawling patios and event venues are luxurious. Yet the staff is still down home and friendly. I think that comes from top down.
High above The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs is one of the best Colorado family vacations I’ve ever taken. There are only seven guest rooms, 11 cabins and one Fire Tower Suite on the property.
It’s time to get outside and enjoy some incredible 2021 events again and these five are too good to miss. From art to outdoor concerts (hello, Robert Earl Keen!) from Charleston to Atlanta and from the shores of Florida to the hills of Tennessee, 2021 events are back, baby!
I took a road trip to Nashville and stayed in a hotel suite that had never been stayed in before.The Grand Hyatt Nashville debuted in October 2020, and my husband and I arrived only 10 days after the luxurious 591-room hotel opened its doors.
I would argue that it’s this juxtaposition of country charm coupled with exquisite lodgings, white glove service and gourmet culinary offerings (Madison’s is a must-try), that is a significant reason Old Edwards Inn (OEI) has been so successful. It’s also the kind of place I personally love—where you can have the most opulent of experiences and yet no one is uppity, everyone is friendly and the millionaire standing next to you may be wearing flip flops or hiking boots.
