Mulit-generation trip near Augusta/Atlanta
 
I'd love suggestions on places near or outside of Augusta to spend time with extended family. I'm trying to organize a two to three night getaway for guests after a wedding weekend in Augusta. Ages will range from 3-70. After the vacation, guests will be heading out to DC Atlanta and Nashville.
What do you think? BTW the dates will be in early June.

Ritz Carlton Reynolds Plantation on Lake Oconee. Between Atlanta and Augusta on I20. Absolutely wonderful!

Thanks.

I'll look that up right away!

As you check rates, take a serious look at the Club Level rooms. They are more expensive, but include 5 food/beverage presentations a day. With several people, it will probably save you a nice chunk of change. Stop at the Publix on the way in to buy snacks too.

The Ritz is gorgeous. On the lake . Great pool. Boat rental available. Golf. The food is pricey but FABULOUS. Spa is wonderful. Great place.

Rent a chiminea out by the lake and make s'mores one night.

Have fun if you go!

They have renovated the Marriott that is on the Augusta riverfront park. I haven't seen the rooms, but the reception area is nice.

There is a good interactive museum Fort Discovery at the riverfront.

Another thought if the Marriott or Ritz don't workout. Stone Mountain is a nice retreat outside of Atlanta.
