kick back I relax
Cozy is the best way to stay - enjoy a creek, lake or
mountain view from the deck of a comfy
rental cabin, hotel room or B&B
Sometimes the “staying” is the
best part of your time in the
mountains. Relaxing on a wraparound
deck with endless views of
the Blue Ridge mountains, it’s easy
to slip into “mountain time”!
Mountain Lodging
Once the domain of a handful of
mom-and-pop operations, lodging
has become big business in the
mountains. Now, you can
take your choice of closein
hotels, cozy cabins,
quaint B&Bs, rustic lodges
and multi-level homes
that can hold several generations
of family. Along the

way, cabin rental companies have
expanded, matured and grown much
more in tune with the needs of their
customers.
Escape to Blue Ridge, for example,
offers an unparalleled selection
of area cabin vacation rentals and,
through its partnership with a professional
linen service, provides
guests with high-end luxury linens
(nothing beats a luxurious fluffy
towel after a hot shower!). “Before,
linen quality depended on whatever
the homeowner supplied,” notes coowner
Pamela Miracle. “We’ve created
a standard across our entire
port folio that's more in line with a
luxury hotel, and our guests have
grown to
appreciate
more from
their Blue
Ridge cabin
rental experience.”
Many cabin rental
companies also provide resort-style
service via a concierge that can handle
all the details for a day of horseback
riding or whitewater rafting,
arrange for a flyfishing guide,
even make restaurant and
theater reservations.
Finding the
Perfect Cabin
Lodging providers here in
North Georgia have all invested substantially
to provide a wonderful
online experience for customers,
complete with gorgeous photos,
detailed information and online
booking. But here’s the best part —
they also invest themselves in their
business. That means they actually
enjoy talking with their customers!
Many of these companies are
owned and operated by folks who
have lived here their entire lives. So
go ahead and ask them where their
favorite picnic spot is (and maybe
even their super-secret fishing hole!).
Then sit back, relax and stay awhile
… you can’t beat the view!
