Airon Whitt, the owner of The Lodge at Sweetwater Studios, initially worked in the travel industry but was forced to leave it behind when the Covid-19 pandemic hit. She returned to her hometown where she found inspiration for the glampground. “I found myself wondering just what I was going to do. [The pandemic] forced me to move back here,” she told Mississippi Today. “But out of that nightmare, my dream took shape. The Lodge at Sweetwater Studios was born.”
