Looking Forward To Post-Holiday Blue Ridge



There’s something special about the Winters in Blue Ridge. The crisp air, occasional snowfall, and quiet mountain wilderness all make an alluring scene. In contrast, downtown shopping in Blue Ridge will still be quite active. But, it won’t be as busy as during the Holidays…which can be a good thing. Depending on when you visit, you’ll still see Christmas lights ablaze, holiday nick-nacks and post-holiday deals.

Which brings me to another reason that post-holiday Winter is one of my favorite times to visit Blue Ridge. You can get great deals on North Georgia cabin rentals during this season. Prices typically drop 20%-30% as cabin rental companies and owners work extra hard to bring guests in.



There are so many Blue Ridge cabins available for rent that you can pick and choose. Just thinking about warming up after being out in the crisp mountain air, sitting beside a large, beautiful hearth filled with a dancing fire, makes me long for January in Blue Ridge. This might sound crazy, but the cooler it is in the mountains, the more I enjoy stepping from the frigid air into a 102 degree hot tub perched on a deck, high above the rolling mountain valley. Few hot tub experiences can match it.

Consider taking a January trip to Blue Ridge. It will warm your New Year’s spirit.
