The North Georgia Mountains are officially a four-season destination. Whether you’re visiting in spring, summer, fall or winter, you’ll find something to do — even if it’s just relaxing on the deck of your rental cabin with a cup of coffee or glass of wine.
Brrr it’s cold outside! Winter in the North Georgia mountains is a magical time of the year. The pace is slower, the air is crisp, and the mountains are often dusted with snow creating a Hallmark movie-like atmosphere. It’s the perfect excuse to warm-up back at the cabin and cozy next to a fire with hot coffee or a glass of wine. If you get cabin-fever, you’ll stll find plenty to do. There’s hiking and biking trails, driving tours, as well was numerous places to shop and eat.
Ring in the new year with a New Year’s Eve Bash at Tooneys Music Venue or watch fireworks at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds Later in January enjoy a Murder Mystery Dinner at Misty Mountain Hops and catch Corey Smith and Travis Denning live at the Georgia Mountain Fairgrounds.
