If you're feeling the need to slow down, breathe a little deeper, and maybe pet a goat or two—Thrive Farm might be calling your name.

Just a few miles outside of LaFayette, this cozy log cabin sits on 20 peaceful acres of farmland, complete with porch swings, horses, and barn cats! It's got the kind of quiet that doesn’t just help you sleep better—it helps you feel better.

Whether you're sipping coffee on the swing, watching the sunrise over the pasture, or signing up for equine therapy to get your soul right, Thrive Farm’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to be.

Book your stay, and see what it's like to wake up somewhere that moves a little slower, a little kinder: https://thrivefarmga.com/farm-stays/

Mark your calendars, everyone—on Sunday, May 18, the IRONMAN 70.3 Chattanooga returns for its 10th year.

Starting with a 1.4-mile swim down the Tennessee River, athletes will then tackle a 56-mile bike ride that ventures through the rolling hills of north Georgia. This scenic route offers stunning views as it parallels Lookout Mountain and passes through historic Chickamauga.

Even if you're not racing, your support matters! Come out and cheer for these incredible athletes as they push their limits. For more details on the course and event, visit:

Some places don’t need a billboard or a welcome sign. They just sort of call you. Johns Mountain’s one of those places.

Just outside LaFayette, it’s the kind of place that humbles you in the best way. You’ll hike through the forest, and every so often, just when your legs are starting to question your choices, you’ll catch a view that makes it all worth it!

Camping’s primitive—but that’s part of the charm. No Wi-Fi. No concrete pads. Just you, the stars, and maybe a few curious raccoons if you leave your snacks out.And this is your kind of place, then Johns Mountain will feel like home.

A GA Dept of Natural resources land use pass (or fishing license) is required so grab one here: https://georgiawildlife.com/licenses-permits-passes

Here’s the deal, though: you have to reserve your spot ahead of time. One reservation per car, and you should make it online before heading up. This is how they keep the trails pristine and the crowds low.
