Secluded treehouse minutes from downtown
Named one of Airbnb’s most wish-listed properties, this rental might look like it’s in a secluded forest, but it’s actually in the heart of Atlanta. The treehouse is made up of three separate structures, a sitting room, a double bedroom, and a hammock deck. The bathroom is located on the ground level in the main house, to which guests have private access to. One of the main draws of this rental is its natural surroundings and its open-planned layout.

3. Tiny one-bed farmhouse
An Airbnb Plus listing, this one-bed farmhouse is located near downtown but is hidden away in a peaceful wooded area. The white timber walls are accented with tasteful blue and green soft furnishings, artwork, and tiles. It comfortably sleeps four, but it is a perfect place for a trip with a loved one or for a solo booking. Downtown Atlanta is 10 or so minutes away and offers a wealth of historic sights, as well as Atlanta sporting venues where the Hawks and Falcons play, restaurants, boutiques, and cafes.

4. One-bed carriage house
Secluded on the outskirts of Atlanta, this carriage house is a great option for those who want to be close enough to the city to do a little shopping and sightseeing but prefer a more low-key vacation. The interior is modern and stylish, with a very well decked-out kitchen and comfortable living room. Outside there is a smart patio area with seating, a grill, and an open fire. Some frequent guests have made it a regular place to stay as it’s a super base for exploring the city.

5. Charming cottage with Alpacas and Llamas
This unique and charming cottage is located on a family-run urban farm that is home to a herd of alpacas and llamas. This is another well-appointed property that would be great for those who have a vehicle and want to be outside of the city limits. The cottage is surrounded by dogwoods and pines, expansive perennial gardens, and an organic vegetable garden. The interior is stunning, with white timber-clad walls and brightly colored furnishings and textiles. There are many things to love about this property, but its porch (with a daybed) looks particularly welcoming as an ideal spot to relax with a book and hang out with some of the resident farm animals.
