Georgia: A day in the peach state

Southern Living, Mar 1997

* Tarrer Inn in Colquitt is the very best kind of bed-and-breakfast, dripping with tasteful Victorian charm but equipped with such modern amenities as up-to-date bathrooms and cable TV. (912) 758-2888.

* Frankly, if you give a you-know-what about Gone With the Wind, then you simply must experience Inn Scarlett's Footsteps, a bed-andbreakfast at Concord that suffers from a severe case of Scarlett fever. Innkeeper K.C. Bassham has seen the movie some 700 times. (770) 884-9012 or 1-800-886-7355.

* Stay where tycoons once frolicked at the Jekyll Island Club Hotel on Jekyll Island. Croquet is still the game of choice here, but guests can also swim, go deep-sea fishing, or take a horse-and-carriage ride. The hotel is a National Historic Landmark. (912) 635-2600 or 1-800-535-9547.

* The Cloister has presided over Sea Island since 1928. Golfers and tennis players love it here. So do families because of the extensive children's programs. A live orchestra plays every night except Sunday. And you thought gracious living had died out. (912) 638-3611 or 1-800-732-4752.

* King and Prince Beach & Golf Resort on St. Simons Island offers beachfront hotel rooms and villas, plus.several pools that overlook the ocean. Guests may rent sailboats and bicycles, play tennis, or golf at the nearby 18-hole Hampton Club. (912) 638-3631 or 1-800-342-0212. O
