Everyone has their one spot in Georgia that just brings them absolute peace and quiet. Whether it’s in your own home, down the street at a local park, or a drive to that secluded oasis that Georgia is loaded with– finding your happy place is important. Lucky for us, Georgia has so many different hidden oases within the state, that peace and tranquility are just a hop, skip and jump away.
