Pin ItThe Oar House, Dahlonega, Georgia
We almost missed The Oar House. Tucked away on a mountainside in Dahlonega, Georgia overlooking a scenic river, this fabulous place is a little hidden if you don’t watch carefully for the sign.

Pin ItSouthern Style in Charleston, South Carolina
We expected Charleston to be very much like Savannah, Georgia. And, in some ways, it is similar. It’s another lovely Southern city on the coast with a genteel, quiet charm.
