As I mentioned in Friday’s post, Robert and I drove up to Macon, GA, a couple of hours north of Savannah, and checked into a very cool and quirky Airbnb.

The purpose of our trip was to pick up our prizes for participating in the 2024 Georgia Farm Passport program.

But back to a few interesting features of our Airbnb.

First, look at its frig!

Guests leave notes about their stay.

And when you walk into the living room, you see this:

A simple set of stairs.

Or are they?

And I loved the old trees with Spanish moss in front of the Southern mansion (which had been divided into units for apartments and Airbnb rentals).

I found a description of the trees taped on one of the living room walls:

“The elegant specimen trees out front are Deodar Cedars. Deodar derives from Sanskrit that translates to “timber of the gods.” The tree is native to the Himalayas, where it has been known to reach 250′ tall. It was introduced to Europe in 1822 and to the United States nine years later. This tree is sacred in Hinduism. It produces rose-shaped cones and aromatic oil that naturally deters insects.”

I gathered some of the cones. They really do look like brown roses.

So much more fun than a Holiday Inn Express.

And that’s my Saturday Evening Post.
