1. Quaint cabin inside an alpaca farm (from USD 50)
Simple is one word to describe this cabin located near Madison, Georgia. It really is a simple rental equipped with the most basic amenities for a truly rural life experience. An air conditioner is not available here but expect the cool breeze coming from the outside to provide a rather cozy atmosphere.

5. Primitive guesthouse in a small town (from USD 83)
The hosts of this guesthouse like to describe their property as primitive, and one will see why when they spend a night here. Oddly enough, the property is actually salvaged from an old house. Every furnishing here is a throwback to the simpler times and keeps the rural charm too. With three beds and a cot, this property is spacious enough to provide five guests with that needed respite. This house also showcases the prowess of local artists here, so expect to see a lot of paintings displayed in every corner. Enjoying the house’s aesthetic is one thing, relaxing with views of the surrounding farm fields is another.
