Things to Do in the Mountains

Camping - Fishing - Hunting - Cycling - Shooting - Archery - Kayak - Rafting

These are some of things you can experience when you visit the North Georgia Mountains. Some cabins in Ellijay and Blue Ridge are located on rivers that you can float, swim, and fish. For you fisherman be sure you purchase the appropriate fishing license and follow all state fishing regulations.

Before you try to float a river ask the locals what type of obstacles you may encounter and where to get out. It’s best to leave a vehicle at the exit point. If you can’t do that then be sure your cell phones work at the exit so you don’t get stranded. Some of the low lying areas don’t have mobile phone reception. Most of all, think safety.

Cycling - There are plenty of mountain bike trails in the area for you adventurous riders. Visit Mike at Cartecay Bikes to see if they have any planned excursions while you are in town.

What to Expect When Renting a North Georgia Cabin

February 16th, 2009 by admin

Visitors from Florida are sometimes surprised how cold it can get in the Georgia hills and mountains. Check the forecast and pack accordingly.

If you rent a cabin you should ask about the heating and air. Some cabins are designed for those that have a sense of adventure. They may not have air conditioning or electric heat in the cabins.

If you have pets or smoke please make sure your lodging choice is pet friendly or allows smoking.

If you want privacy you should verify your selected cabin rental is not in close proximity to other renters. There are plenty of choices for rentals in Blue Ridge, Ellijay, Blairsville, and Hiawassee. Each cabin has its own personality as much as each renter has their own. The right vacation rental is out there, take the time to find it and make it the best getaway ever.
