Vacation to North Georgia

Mountain Paradise offers the consumer an attractive option for late summer or early Fall getaways. Our North Georgia Cabin Rentals are luxurious, easy to get to, and offer a great relaxing environment for the busy professional couple or large family. Vacationers looking for increased value will find the Blue Ridge area a great option since many of the local attractions are either free or inexpensive, and the abundance of local state parks (little to no cost) is also a great option for some peaceful seclusion and communing with nature (i.e. no honking horns, looming deadlines, or over bearing bosses).

The North Georgia mountains are highly coveted by those seeking an outdoor/nature vacation or that just want to step back in time where traffic jams and road noise don't exist. The area offers abundant hiking (trailhead of the Appalachian Trail), lots of fishing (guided or unguided), boating (2 lakes, many rivers), white-water rafting, canoeing, and tubing opportunities. There are many other attractions as well including festivals, local wineries, and family focused entertainment to round out any vacation.

The Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia has long been a popular vacation spot. The area is becoming increasingly popular among travelers looking for an alternative to traveling to Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg, TN. While the Tennessee destinations offer a Disney-land like vacation they also come with snarled traffic jams, lots of noise, and wait lines at area restaurants and breakfast cafes - that's not exactly a peaceful vacation. North Georgia has also long been a coveted holiday destination as well. Those looking to reserve any of the North Georgia Cabin Rentals  are advised to plan early because spots for 2009 are almost gone.

North Georgia Cabin Rentals

We must agree with everyone else who has signed the guest book! Mountaintop Getaway was the best North Georgia Cabin we have ever rented. The view is breathtaking and the cabin is wonderfully decorated! We relaxed the minute we parked our car and wish we had an entire week here. We are planning on visiting 1-2 times every year. Thank you for sharing your incredible cabin with us. If you want a beautiful North Georgia Cabin Rental talk to these guys.
