McDonough is a charming, walkable Southern town built around a historic town square with independent restaurants, boutiques, regular festivals and nearby parks—perfect for travel therapists who want evenings and weekends that feel social and interesting rather than dead.
It’s compact and comfortable for multi‑week stays, and you’re close to Atlanta (about 30 miles, ~30–45 minutes) for big‑city dining, arts, pro sports and Hartsfield–Jackson airport, plus Macon (~57 miles) for extra weekend options, so you get small‑town downtime with easy access to major attractions.
