Outdoor Drive ins are a thing of the past, except for here in the North Georgia Mountains, and with Cabin Rentals of Georgia this is a winning combination. Our Toccoa River Cabin Rentals like Outlaw Ridge and Riverview Lodge, or Mountain view cabins such as Celtic Clouds and Cadence Ridge, which are new properties to our portfolio, are perfect for a mountain getaway and are close to the activities that downtown Blue Ridge has to offer. Why not come to the mountains to see a movie the old fashion way at a drive-in?

Swan Drive-in has a double feature, Friday and Saturday, May 13th and 14th. Two movies for the price of one.

The Blue Ridge Mountain Adventure Race is celebrating it's fourteenth year this Saturday and continues to be a favorite among racers throughout the Southeast. Up to 100 co-ed teams of three gather welcoming spring to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Georgia. This year's race promises to be a challenging contest with lots of surprises and some of the most stunning scenery anywhere. Racers will run along the forested trails of the Chattahoochee National Forest, paddle on the Toccoa River and/or Lake Blue Ridge, mountain bike steep trails and complete mystery challenges along the way. This year the finish line will be in downtown at the Blue Ridge City Park in front of The Art Center, with live music and new finish line festivities.
