"Wonderful country get-away! Rooms were clean and quaint. The farm was so fun to explore with lots of recycled metal sculptures throughout. Cute and friendly farm cats were a wonderful surprise! The hot breakfast (egg bake, warm Bundt coffee cake and fresh cut Georgia peaches) was the best breakfast I’ve had in a LONG time. Hosts sat with us during breakfast and shared amazing stories of the farm and their family. It was such a warm and personal end to the trip. I highly recommend The Cupola...
