Guests always ask "Why should I choose Blue Ridge, Georgia? What makes it so special?" I tell them it is the people that live here, the tourist that visit and the peace and serenity you feel when you leave. When you reserve a luxurious North Georgia Cabin Rental you are on your way to discovering what we mean. Blue Ridge, GA is a great tourist town with many attractions that have yet to be discovered by many. One such attraction is the Swinging Bridge. This very popular destination is great for day-hikers just wanting to take in the beautiful scenery or a couple wanting to have a romantic picnic along the Toccoa River. Another great place to visit is Mercier Orchards, the largest apple orchard in Georgia. Experience picking your own apples in the orchard from the many different varieties they offer and don't forget to get a dozen or so of their fried apple pies. Mercier Orchards also serves breakfast items in their deli. Enjoy a freshly baked muffin, french toast, biscuits and lots of other delicious goodies! For the waterfall enthusiast, Amicalola Falls is the tallest cascading waterfall in the Southeastern United States offering several great photo possibilities. The surrounding 829 acre state park offers picturesque scenery and hiking trails for beginners too experts who want to experience the true beauty the North Georgia Mountains have to offer. After a day of adventure to the many different attractions and activities Blue Ridge has to offer, retire to your own luxurious North Georgia Cabin Rental where you can soak those achey muscles in the hot tub at A Trappers Lodge overlooking some of the most gorgeous mountain ranges or listening to the Toccoa River flowing by at A Rolling River or Wilscot Creek babbling by at Crooked Creek. Which ever cabin your staying at, your experience with Cabin Rentals of Georgia will provide countless memories that will last a lifetime.

With mild temperatures and beautiful scenery, there is no better place to be than in a beautiful Blue Ridge Mountain Cabin Rental. Each year the Appalachian forest offers a great show of colors from the highest elevations first and sweeps down into the lower valleys. Each October the Blue Ridge Mountains come alive in a celebration of the changing of the seasons. One such event is the Georgia Mountain Fall Festival. This 9-day event features exciting musical performances, educational demonstrations, a flower show and the ever popular Georgia's Official State Fiddler's Convention. A new attraction this year is the Swampmaster. You can sit back and watch as the swampmaster catches an 8 foot, 200 lb alligator with his bare hands! For the little ones you can even have their picture made holding a baby alligator safely. After a day at the festival come home to a beautiful, privately secluded Blue Ridge Mountain Cabin Rental. Crooked Creek is surrounded by the beauty of the mountains as well as the natural creek that runs only 50 feet from the cabin. Crooked Creek sits at the foot of the Chattahoochee National Forest which is perfect for planning your own private hiking adventure. Drink that morning cup of coffee, sitting on the back porch listening to the sounds of Wilscot creek babbling by or catch a glimpse of wildlife grazing nearby. Plan family night by roasting marshmallows and making s'mores sitting around the outdoor fire pit telling stories. After the kids go to bed, relax those sore muscles in the six person hot tub located on the lower deck just 50 feet from the creek. Whatever your adventure maybe, rest assured that Cabin Rentals of Georgia will welcome you home and help make memories that will last a lifetime.
