Talk about a bargain! Set in the foothills of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, Forrest Hills Mountain Resort & Conference Center is hardly more than 3-hour drive from Birmingham. (To give you an idea of the location, we're talking around 45 minutes north of Atlanta.) And it just gets even better: the first week of April, they're offering the unheard rate of $49 a night for a room with two queen beds and a private bath in their Bear's Den Lodge! Want a little fancier accommodation? During this special, 3 nights in Mountain Laurel Inn will only set you back $238. These deals are while rooms remain available and only thru April 8.
Forrest Hills absolutely has it all. The property includes 29 cabins with luxurious hot tubs; 5 group lodges; 4 B&B rooms; 7 meeting rooms; 4 banquet rooms; a wedding chapel; wedding gardens; dining; spa services; carriage rides; horseback riding; a chuck wagon; volleyball courts; nature trails; seasonal outdoor pool; and tons more. Whether you're thinking family vacation; romantic retreat; girlfriends' getaway; corporate gathering; wedding; honeymoon; women's ministry retreat; or just some restful downtime, Forrest Hills is the place to make it happen. And with rates that start as low as $49 a night (B&B room specials), I know of no other resort offering so much enjoyment at so little cost!
SHOPPING: Within the little town of Dahlonega, quaint shops abound. Must-sees include The Glassblowing Shop and The Humble Candle. Gateway Consignment & Antique Mall will satisfy your antiquin' and junkin' urges. A half-hour drive away you'll find Dawsonville and the massive North Georgia Premium Outlets, featuring well over 100 shops, including all your faves like Ann Taylor,Brooks Brothers, Coach, Claire's, Fossil, Kirkland's, Pottery Barn, Yankee Candle, and Chico's.
DINING: You'll love dining at Forrest Hills, but you'll simply have to make time for a meal at the Historic Smith House Inn in Dahlonega. This lovely home was built in 1898, smack on top of a rich vein of gold - you can take a peek at the mine shaft after you've indulged in their incredible Southern buffet. Dozens of other eateries offer variety from barbecue to Mexican, Chinese, and Italian. Chocolate lovers should make sure they drop by Paul Thomas Chocolates and The Fudge Factory. Bikers can shop, mingle, and eat at Riders Hill, ranked by European Motorsports as the 2 Moto Guzzi dealership in the U.S. And even if you didn't bring your bike with you, Riders will rent you one to cruise the mountain backroads.
What to do: Forrest Hills' chuck wagon allows you to experience an Old West cookout. Hop aboard one of the Gold City Corral wagons (located next door to Forrest Hills) and you'll be whisked away to the River House for a steak and chicken dinner and live entertainment. "The important to budget travel is to plan onward. When it happens to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new places we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is often in the back of our mind. Organizing and consuming our travel budget carefully is a concern for most families. Reducing expending and costs, while still savoring your vacation to its fullest, is the key to confirmed success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind saving money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal finances is highly limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, regardless of whether on a funds or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel expenses!..". Other activities at Forrest Hills range from spa treatments to hiking and volleyball.
Beyond the resort, there are numerous gold-related activities - no surprise since gold was discovered in Dahlonega twenty years before the California Gold Rush of 1849. A couple of worthwhile stops: the Dahlonega Gold Museum and Consolidated Gold Mines.
Chestatee Wildlife Preserve is home to over 100 animals, including lemurs, zebras, tigers, wolves, monkeys, and birds. Wildlife Wonders & Paradise Valley Farms Petting Zoo (aka North Georgia Zoo) contains over 80 exotic species of wildlife plus a working farm with 30 different breeds of livestock.
Fabulous scenery, outdoor activities galore, great shopping, scrumptious dining, personal pampering, and so much more await you in the mountains of North Georgia. What's not to love!
Special events: If you'd like to plan your visit around a special event, check out Dahlonega's Festival calendar. Upcoming fun includes: (1) April 21-22 - Bear on the Square Mountain Festival, with live music from bluegrass to gospel, plus a juried art show, crafts, street dancing, and more; (2) May 5 - U.S. Army Mountain Ranger Open House - races, tons of displays, plus aircraft fly-bys with free fall parachute jump; combat and mountaineering demonstrations, camo face painting, and lots more; (3) May 19-20 - Mountain Flower Fine Arts Festival with over 70 artists showing off works from pottery to photography; and (4) June 22-23 - Mountain Top Rodeo, with world class competition and plenty of extra activities for all ages.
