Serenbe & Chattahoochee Hills

Way more to do than Ride and Camp

Serenbe: It’s a Hamlet

Tucked away in Chattahoochee Hills is a place that’s not exactly a town, not exactly a resort, and not exactly a neighborhood in the way most people think of a neighborhood.

Serenbe is a hamlet, divided into four distinct community clusters with plenty of open space, pasture and woods in between.

One minute, it feels like a Dutch village you stumbled across.

Then maybe you’ve biked into a Tuscan hill town.

And after that, you walk into a small Vermont town where someone is probably about to hand you coffee, a trail map or something freshly baked.

Actually, it’s a little bit of all of that — and its own thing entirely.

Serenbe is woven through forests, wildflower meadows and farmland, with miles of trails connecting homes to restaurants, coffee shops to stores, art installations to farms, and one good distraction to another.

Grab fresh-baked bread in the morning. Meet friends for yoga. Maybe even goat yoga—we sh*t you not. Wander through the shops. Hit the trails. Ride a horse. Learn how to make cocktails. Listen to some jazz. Buy something you absolutely did not plan on buying.

Somehow, half a day disappears without you trying very hard.

And that’s exactly why Dirty Sheets works as a weekend for more than just the person riding.

Your husband doesn’t ride? Great. He can go for a hike or head to the Inn for a drink.
Your wife would rather shop than spend six hours talking about tire pressure? Also great. She can get fully pampered between shops.
The kids want to explore, eat something sweet and make new friends? Bring them. Serenbe has plenty for your kiddos, including a built-in trampoline.
Your friends just want good food, music and an excuse to get out of town? Honestly, they may have figured out the weekend better than the rest of us.

You’ll hear us talk about Serenbe a lot. The ride starts in the Serenbe Wildflower Meadow, and NGMBA Headquarters and camping are just a field away.

It’s not just where Dirty Sheets starts. It’s a big part of the experience.

Chattahoochee Hills: Protected on Purpose

Serenbe is a special place.

But it sits inside something just as special.

The City of Chattahoochee Hills is only about 25 miles from Downtown Atlanta, with a population of roughly 3,500 spread across nearly 60 square miles of rolling farmland, forest, gravel roads, horse pastures, open sky and zero stop lights.

Chatt Hills, as the locals call it, feels like a place Atlanta somehow forgot to swallow.

But that’s not quite right.

This place wasn’t forgotten.

It was protected on purpose.

As development pushed farther south, local residents and landowners saw what could happen if nobody put a hand on the wheel: more sprawl, more strip centers, more traffic, more roads nobody wants to ride, and a whole lot less of what made this place worth caring about in the first place.

So Chattahoochee Hills did something different. It became a city with a plan to keep rural land rural, preserve farms and forests, and guide growth into compact hamlets and villages instead of letting it scatter across every field and ridgeline.

That’s why this place still feels like this.

Not by accident.

By design.

And that’s what makes it such a great place to ride bikes.

Smooth paved roads. Quiet gravel. Singletrack tucked into the woods. Horse farms. Barn quilts. River crossings. Waterfalls. Cows. Horses. Chickens. Goats who do not care about your tire pressure.

All of it just 30 minutes south of Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (That just happens to have the most connecting flights in the world… hint. hint) 

Chatt Hills is close enough to be easy.

Far enough away to matter.
