A nice family oriented place to vacation for a long weekend?
Hi there. My husband and I are planning on taking a small weekend trip with our one year old daughter this labor day weekend. Where is a good family place to go? We’re not looking for nightlife. We’re looking for loads of things for families to do and nice weather. Affordable too. If you know of a place, could you please tell me. Thank you!!!
Blue Ridge Georgia in the North GA Mountains is really nice. Loads of cabin rentals to choose from (basic to luxury with all the ammenities). Much better lodging than a small little hotel room.
Area Attractions:
*Ocoee River – White Water Rafting, Kayaking
*Lake Blue Ridge and Lake Nottely – swimming, fishing, picnics
*Toccoa River – tubing, fishing
*Blue Ridge Marina – jet ski and boat rentals
*Aska Adventure Wilderness Area – hiking and biking
*Horesback riding, golf, sightseeing, waterfalls
*Old Fashioned Swan Drive-In Movie Theatre
*Blue Ridge Scenic Railway – Take a 4 hour train ride along the Toccoa River and through the Mountains with a short layover in neighboring TN
*Day Spa, antique shopping
Not sure how much of the above you can do with a 1 year od though…….
The Bears Den Luxury Cabin Retreat is equipped with loads of ammenities to provide plenty of entertainment without even leaving the cabin! Huge Game Room with a cedar top wet bar, pool table, poker/card table, log checker board table and benches. We have a screen porch with a wood burning fireplace and 6 person hot tub, log furniture, wireless internet, satellite TV, DVD, VCR and more!
