With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Macon, 35 miles away, has to offer. The Allman Brothers Band Museum at the Big House should be at the top of your list here. Macon Mall and Grand Opera House are must-see attractions too. The locals are also likely to point you toward Plains, 35 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, let it be Maranatha Baptist Church. (But we’d also highly recommend Jimmy Carter Peanut and Jimmy Carter National Historic Site.)
