Home Away from Home: Atlanta’s Best Airbnbs

by Tinybeans TeamJuly 13, 2021

There are lots of reasons to Airbnb it in Atlanta. Whether you’re planning a staycation, thinking about making a trip to Atlanta with your kiddos, or looking to outsource your best friend’s weekend visit with tots in tow, these family-friendly Airbnb’s are epic. From manse to mini, graceful to mod, we’ve picked our favorite crashpads in town. Keep reading for everything you need to know about our city’s best kept Airbnb secrets.

Secluded Intown Treehouse

This property is Airbnb's #1 most wish-listed property in the world, and is described as being the most relaxing, romantic, dreamy and unique place you'll ever stay. What could be better than falling asleep in the trees and waking up to birds singing around you—all within the city limits? Located near Northside Drive in Buckhead, visitors here will have easy access to the interstate, Buckhead and Midtown.

Llama Luxury Cottage

Stay with the Dali Llama once at this Llama Luxury Cottage and you'll never book a traditional hotel stay again. Kids will love these gentle creatures (but take a spare shirt—llamas spit when mad), the on-site hens (and fresh, organic eggs), and the bamboo forrest. This quirky urban oasis is located only 20 minutes from the Georgia Aquarium, Atlanta Children's Museum, and Centennial Olympic Park in downtown Atlanta.

Buckhead Carriage House

If Southern charm is what you're after, then this graceful Buckhead Carriage House is for you. Situated in the heart of Atlanta's in-town neighborhood known for its restaurants, shopping, and beautiful homes (also for the Legoland Discovery Center, Atlanta History Museum, and within striking distance to some of the city's prettiest parks and playgrounds), this beautiful abode with its own pool is perfect for families.

Teepee in the City

The Teepee is tucked in the corner of a unique property in East Atlanta that is shared with another Tepee, a Sovereign Airsteam, a Caravel Airstream, and a Dalton Camper—all rented out to other guests. It's high on the novelty list and certain to delight any adventure-loving littles, but isolated it is not. Families can use the fenced in backyard, complete with a garden, hammocks, hot tub, treehouse and zipline, and fire pit, and the owners live on-site with their two younger kids.

Midtown Modern and Miniature

This Tiny House packs a big punch when it comes to cleanliness, thoughtful design, and proximity to in-town's favorite hotspots near Piedmont Park and the Botanical Garden, the BeltLine, the Krog Street Market, the Atlanta Zoo, and more. The tucked-away bedroom and the enchanting loft space make this tiny house a big hit with your kiddos, and don't let the size scare you. This casa is located close to everything worth seeing and doing, so your couch time will be limited. But while you're there? Magic.

Winter Wonders: Best Outerwear for Keeping Baby Warm

by rtamaliedruryDecember 22, 2016

Don’t let a little snow and below freezing temperatures keep you inside all winter long. Fresh air and a change of scenery will work wonders when you’re feeling secluded as a sleep-deprived new parent, so don’t miss a single sunny (or light gray) afternoon. Bundle your little Eskimo in our favorite winter gear and venture into the elements with these cold weather essentials that promise to keep your little one cozy.

Convertible Comfort

This super-warm bunting meets snowsuit, or as &AM Enfant calls it, a Doudoune, is one of the most versatile pieces of winter baby gear we could find. Side zippers make getting baby in and out of the bunting easy. But if you want to use it in a carrier, car seat or as a snow suit, you fasten the double row of snaps in the middle to free up your babies legs.

Available at giggle.com, $95.00.

Do you have favorite outer gear for keeping baby warm? Shout about it in the comments!
