Title: Georgia or North Carolina Mountains?
Post by: Townhallsavoy on November 17, 2011, 11:39:06 AM
The wife and I are thinking about taking a trip in December. 

Anyone have any recommendations for cabins or locations in Georgia or North Carolina? 

We've been to Gatlinburg, but I'd like to try something different and less touristy.

I don't know what your budget is, but the Inn at Biltmore House in Cherokee, NC is really nice.  Plus touring the House is pretty neat.

$199/night.  Budget is definitely not that high. 

But that is a good idea to tour the estate.

Went to a wedding at Wolf Mountain Winery (http://www.wolfmountainvineyards.com/) in Dahlonega, GA.

Stayed in a cabin with a bunch of folks. It seems to be pretty much what you're looking for. A less touristy Gatlinburg.

Helen, GA is always nice.  They often have something going on too.

Too late in the year to do the chicken dance.

Just got back from there. Always nice. Except for being around a bunch of Uggers after theyve beat you 45-7.

Biltmore House in Cherokee, NC

Did they move it from Asheville? BTW - The casino in Cherokee is pretty decent.

Agree. Passed through there Sunday afternoon. N. Georgia actually has a very underrated wine industry. Amicolola falls near Dahlonega is a cool site to visit. Very tall waterfalls.

Yeah, most people don't realize it's really a mobile home.  It's a 250 wide.
