Preparing for your Escape



Are you ready to escape!? Then it’s time to start planning for your dream mountain Escape to Blue Ridge! As you pack and prepare for your escape it can be hard to know exactly what you’ll be needing for your trip. Lucky for you we’ve broken it all down and created a list of everything you’ll need to bring with you, depending on what kind of activities you chose to do on your Escape to Blue Ridge: 

The Necessities

Toiletries: While our cabins at Escape to Blue Ridge are equipped with nearly all the essentials you require, be sure to bring your usual toiletries along with you like shampoos, hair products, shaving care, etc. We’ll provide soaps, toilet paper, and paper towels but it’s always best to bring a few extras with you!
Cool & Warm Weather Clothes: The North Georgia weather can be all over the place, so it’s a good idea to be prepared for any kind of weather. In the spring & summer bring some warm clothes for those hot & sunny afternoons and something warm like a sweater for those chilly mountain nights. And in the fall & winter it’s always best to bring layers; sweaters, coats, and hats & gloves in case of snow. Check the weather ahead of time to know exactly what kind of attire you need to bring!
A Bathing Suit: No matter the time of year it’s always smart to have a bathing suit on hand, especially for those relaxing nights spent in your cabin’s hot tub! And in the spring and summer months you can appreciate being out on the water with a number of fun water sports and activities like kayaking, tubing, and swimming in Lake Blue Ridge.
Sunscreen: If you plan on doing anything outside, be sure to bring along the sunscreen! Protect yourself from those harsh rays and load up on that SPF! Being protected from the sun will make your outdoor adventures all the more fun, knowing that you can enjoy the day without having to worry about a sunburn appearing later.
Bug Spray: Blue Ridge is an outdoorsy place full of bugs and wildlife. When going on a hike through the woods or tubing down the river be sure to put on some bug spray to protect yourself from those mettlesome pests. Even if you don’t plan on hitting the trails it’s a good idea to have some on hand, especially for those humid mountain evenings when the bugs thrive.

For the Foodie

Groceries: As we said before, our cabins have ALMOST everything you need. However, the fridges don’t come pre-stocked with food so make sure to bring along some of your favorite snacks. And if you plan on cooking up family dinners at the cabin go for a quick grocery run to the local Ingles.
Appliances: You’ll find all your basic appliances at the cabin like toasters and coffee makers, but before you book check the amenities list at the bottom of the cabin page on our website, to be sure we have exactly what you need. For example, if you can’t live without your morning smoothies, plan to bring a mini blender along with you.
A Bottle of your Favorite Wine or a 6-Pack of Beer: There’s nothing better than taking in the beautiful mountain view from your cabin’s back deck with a glass of wine or beer in hand! Bring your favorite bottle of wine or a 6-pack of beer with you as your mountain beverage and hot tub drink of choice. And it’s always great to have an adult beverage on hand to pair with dinner at the cabin. Don’t have a favorite drink? Discover a new favorite wine or brew at our wonderful local breweries and wineries.
A Nice Outfit for Dinner on the Town: Ladies pack your favorite dress and gentlemen grab that stylish button up, and get ready for a night out on the town! Blue Ridge is home to many wonderful fine-dining restaurants that you may want to dress up for like ROE, Whiskey & Water, the Black Sheep, and Grace Steakhouse.
Contact Info of your Favorite Private Chef: When you don’t feel like cooking but want a nice dinner at the cabin, hire one of our amazing local chefs. No supplies needed, they’ll bring all the ingredients and tools with them to create the perfect meal for you and your family! Check out local chefs Chef Trey Gourmet, Chef Eatz, and Blue Duck Eats for options. Just be sure to book in advance because our private chefs are a hot commodity!
Your Appetite: Bring your appetite because there’s so many incredible restaurants to try in Blue Ridge! From barbeque and southern cuisine to seafood, Italian, and more, there’s something for everyone in Blue Ridge!

For the Outdoor Enthusiast

A Sense of Adventure: Bring your sense of adventure with you on your trip to Blue Ridge because there’s so much to experience here! From hiking & biking on the mountain trails, fishing on the Toccoa River, ziplining through a canopy of trees, or whitewater rafting down the Ocoee; the possibilities for outdoor adventures are as limitless as the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.
Hiking Boots or Tennis Shoes: Blue Ridge is home to dozens of wonderful hiking trails that you’ll want to explore while you’re here! Just make sure you have the proper footwear for the journey! If you plan on doing a lot of hiking on your visit we’d recommend hiking boots. But if all you have is tennis shoes those will work just fine too, plus they’re more versatile than hiking boots and can be used on any of your outdoor adventures.
Hiking Snacks: There’s nothing worse than being in the middle of a hike and your stomach starts growling. Make sure to pack some quick & easy snacks like trail mix or a protein bar for that quick boost of energy to get you through the rest of your hike.
Waterbottle: It’s always important to hydrate when you’re outside exercising, especially on those hot summer days! Pack your favorite Hydroflask or Camelback water bottle and drink up when you need it!
Backpack: Bring along a backpack or string bag for your outdoor adventures and pack it up with everything you may need (waterbottle, sunscreen, snacks, binoculars, etc). That way you’ll always be prepared for wherever your adventure may lead you!
Fishing Pole: Blue Ridge, Georgia is known as the Trout Capital of Georgia, so if you’re an avid fisher make sure to bring along your fishing pole & favorite bait to catch some trophy trout from the Toccoa River!
Cowboy Boots: It’s time to giddyup and feel like a cowboy for a day with a trail ride through the North Georgia Mountains. Put on your favorite pair of cowboy boots and you’ll be feeling like you’re riding through the wild, wild, west in no time!
Collapsible Dog Bowls & Leashes: The town of Blue Ridge is just about as dog-friendly as it comes! So, if you plan on bringing your four-legged best friend along with you as your hiking companion then make sure to bring a collapsible water bowl with you. Afterall your dog needs to hydrate just like you do! And don’t forget to bring along a leash as well, because our trails require dogs to be leashed at all times.
Leave No Trace: As you explore the great outdoors remember to leave no trace and leave everything just as you found it. Leave only footprints and bring back only pictures from your adventures.

For the Memory Maker

Camera: Get ready to say cheese! Bring along your camera or smartphone camera to capture some of your favorite Blue Ridge memories. We especially love Polaroid Cameras because it’s a fun & vintage way of taking photos that you can assure never disappears.
Geocaching Bag: Bring along your geocaching bag to store all the treasures you find on your trip! And don’t forget to bring your own treasures, so you can follow the “take one and leave one” policy.
A Printed Copy of our Kids Activity Booklet: Print out our kids activity booklet and bring it along with you to ensure your child has the most memorable vacation ever! Our activity booklet is filled to the brim with educational activities and fun scavenger hunts that will take you and your family to some of Blue Ridge’s most iconic locations.
An Extra Bag for Souvenirs: There’s no shortage of souvenirs to be found in Blue Ridge so make sure you bring an extra bag to store all your new goodies in!
An Open Heart: And last but not least make sure to bring an open heart, so that you can look forward to all the adventures and exciting experiences that await you in Blue Ridge! We just know you’ll create lasting memories with your loved ones that you’ll carry with you in your heart always.

Cozy View

You can rest assured that you’ll stay nice & cozy at Cozy View cabin! This 1-bedroom cabin is the perfect place for couples looking to getaway and reconnect in the peace & quiet of the mountains! Spend your days hiking the Lake Blue Ridge Loop nearby or exploring the famous Toccoa Swinging Bridge.

Pour yourself a glass of wine and head to the screened in porch to watch the sunset over Lake Blue Ridge in the distance. If you’re looking for a romantic getaway then Cozy View is just waiting for you!

Downtown Bungalow

Located in the heart of Blue Ridge, Downtown Bungalow offers a charming one-bedroom cottage experience. Originally constructed in the 1940s and recently renovated, this delightful cottage seamlessly blends modern conveniences with its timeless cottage allure. As soon as you arrive at the property, you’ll be greeted by a picturesque garden that surrounds the house and multiple outdoor seating options. Whether you choose to indulge in an al-fresco dinner cooked on the BBQ grill, unwind in the screened-in living area, or admire the panoramic view of Downtown Blue Ridge, there’s no shortage of ways to relax! Enjoy the modern meets retro vibe as you continue inside, with great amenities and fun accents like a glass top range, a large comfortable sectional, two Smart TVs, and even a red reproduction of an early 1950s fridge! How neat is that!? And the best part of your stay is that your four-legged best friend is welcome to join you inside the cottage and on all your fun downtown adventures!

Hillside Cottages

Looking for a place to rest in between tee times? The Cottages at Old Toccoa Farm are made for you! Each of these charming 500-square foot cottages sleeps two, so they are ideal for a romantic getaway rather than a full family vacation. All of the cottages are outfitted with a Nespresso coffeemaker, wine fridge, full kitchen, and king-sized bed. So you’ll have all the amenities you need right at your fingertips! Plus the cozy interior was designed by local shop, New Blue Home, so you know your stay will be nothing but luxurious. AND each cottage also has a patio with a firepit overlooking the award-winning golf course and the Toccoa River!

La Pequena Pecos

A trip to La Pequena Pecos is the ultra-romantic getaway you’ve been waiting for! This adorable cabin is chalk-full of beautiful and elegant details – from the forest-themed ceiling and chic furniture of the bedroom, to the warm, modern design of the fireplace in the impossibly cozy living room. You and your sweetheart will enjoy spending your nights fireside, wrapped in blankets by the fire pit as you listen to the sweet sounds of nearby Fightingtown Creek. During the day, you’ll enjoy special members-only rates at Old Toccoa Farm golf course (a short five miles away!).

Nestled in the heart of Downtown Blue Ridge, Perch 1 offers the perfect retreat for those seeking to be close to the mountains but not isolated from the rest of the world.

Where to Eat

Treat your Valentine to a night out on the town with dinner & drinks at one of these incredible upscale restaurants! One of the most beloved Blue Ridge restaurants is The Black Sheep. This fine-dining restaurant is dedicated to fresh, locally sourced food that is expertly prepared. The Black Sheep is currently offering a limited time winter menu where you can begin your culinary journey with a soup or salad, followed by delectable entrees like seared prosciutto wrapped salmon, tasso & shrimp pasta, the pork ribeye, or fried chicken. Then finish your meal off with a satisfying dessert like the raspberry cheesecake, coffee caramel brulee, or gluten free chocolate cake.

For delicious aphrodisiacs, like oysters, visit ROE. Blue Ridge for an exquisite seafood and steakhouse dining experience. Delight in a raw bar adventure featuring clams, oysters, and a variety of other delectable fresh seafood options. Additionally, savor the sophistication of a steakhouse experience with offerings such as smoked duck and filet mignon. And pair your meal with a glass of wine that will cleanse your palette for the next course.

And if you’re looking for an exceptional night on the town visit one of Blue Ridge’s newest restaurants, Grace Steakhouse. You’re in for a one of a kind experience here; all of their steaks are aged for 45 days or longer, meticulously hand-cut, and expertly prepared to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness. And beyond the 5-star menu, you’ll discover outstanding service and even more delightful cocktails. A meal at Grace transcends mere dining; it’s a truly unforgettable culinary experience.

Romantic Stroll on Blue Ridge’s Best Hiking Trails

You’ll find no shortage of hiking trails in Blue Ridge, perfect for taking a romantic stroll on and enjoying the natural scenery of the area. Along your walk you may find local wildlife, picturesque rivers and streams, rushing waterfalls, and even the longest swinging bridge east of the Mississippi. You’ll be water “falling” in love with these great trails in no time! Here are a few of our favorites:

Situated in the heart of the Aska Adventure Area, is one of our most beloved trails, the Benton McKaye Trail. About 15 miles south of Blue Ridge, the trail intersects with the Appalachian Trail, passing by notable landmarks like the Toccoa Swinging Bridge, Fall Branch Falls, Long Creek Falls, and Springer Mountain—ideal spots for memorable photo opportunities!

Within the Aska Adventure Area, there are four interconnected trails—Stanley Gap Trail, Green Mountain Trail, Flat Creek Loop, and Long Branch Loop—forming a total of 17.0 miles of captivating trails to explore. These trails, accessible year-round, wind through the Chattahoochee National Forest, leading you across mountain streams and creeks, past area waterfalls, and so much more.

And if you want to see one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the state of Georgia, then venture outside of Blue Ridge, to Dawsonville, GA to experience the beautiful Amicalola Falls in person. There are three different ways to access the falls, each varying in difficulty. The first option involves a straightforward drive to the top, while the second entails a steep but brief 2.1-mile hike on a loop trail. Alternatively, you can opt for a 7.5-mile hike along the Appalachian Trail. Fortunately, no matter which route you choose, you’ll have the opportunity to witness the breathtaking grandeur of Amicalola Falls.

Shop for Gifts with your Partner

Picture this: You’re cuddled up with your love by a nice warm fire, with a glass of wine in your hand and a spectacular view of the beautiful mountains in the distance. Sounds perfect right? Well lucky for you, you can make that dream a reality! North Georgia is home to dozens of wonderful wineries & vineyards. You can make plans to just visit one or winery hop to a few because they’re all so close! When you think of wineries you may think of frolicking through the rows and rows of grapes in the spring, but these great local wineries are still very much open in the winter! And when it’s chilly out they have fires going on their outdoor patios, which makes for the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine.

One of our favorite places to sip wine by the fire is at local Blue Ridge winery, Bear Claw Vineyards! As you sit and take in the stunning mountain views and calming atmosphere, you’ll feel relaxed in no time! And with a wide array of delicious wines to choose from, it will be hard to pick just one! Fortunately, Bear Claw Vineyards offers various tasting options. And for a special Valentine’s Day treat, pair your wine with one of their famous wine truffles—milk chocolate ganache and vanilla cake truffles made with Bear Claw wine. Yum!

Another crowd favorite winery is Serenberry Vineyards! Their charming tasting area, once a barn from the 1920s, has been transformed into a beautiful space. The now open air barn is the perfect place to enjoy a wine flight, take in the views, and cuddle up by the stone fireplace. And venture outside of Blue Ridge to visit Engelheim Vineyards in Ellijay. Engleheim offers a selection of over 20 different award-winning wines so you’re in for a real treat. Cozy up by the fireplace and enjoy a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon or Engel Weiss. And on weekends you’ll find that there’s always something going on from wine pairing classes and wine-paired dinners to art and music events.

Opt for a private trail ride for you and your “hon-neigh” to ensure a peaceful and intimate experience. You’ll take a serene journey through the woods, passing by babbling brooks and tall mountains, and maybe even encounter some wildlife along the way. If your date is extra special and you’re planning on proposing, there’s even a unique proposal ride that takes you to a secluded romantic gazebo by the lake, where you can express all your heartfelt desires and pop that special question.
