Make A Fast Break
Where Atlanta|Summer Fun 2018

Looking to getaway from the city’s hustle and bustle? Located a short drive outside Atlanta, arrive at one of these new, or newly revamped, resorts for that much-neeeded R&R.

Make A Fast Break

Barnsley Resort

You’ll feel it as soon as you pull down the long, tree-lined driveway: this place is something special. The storybook site of an 1840s love story, the former estate blends the best of past and present. Situated just 60 miles northwest of Atlanta, history, outdoor adventure and Southern comfort converge at this resort-meets-playground, including a Jim Fazio-designed golf course, horseback riding, biking, local cuisine and a boutique spa.

STAY

• Inn at Barnsley 

Earlier this year, the property debuted the brand-new Georgian Hall as well as the Inn at Barnsley Resort, bringing the total number of guest rooms and suites to 150. Inspired by Italianate and Gothic revival style and English country homes from the turn of the 20th century, the new builds are a complement to the existing setting. Kick up those feet. You’ll want to stay awhile.

PLAY

• SpringBank Sporting Club
