Winter and cabins in the woods go together like peas and carrots. There’s just something about the allure of a well-stocked fire, crisp cool air, a light dusting of snow, and a weekend with no plans. Getting away to the Helen GA cabin rentals this winter will leave you feeling relaxed, renewed, refreshed, and ready to head back to the busy schedule of daily life. This is why winter in the Georgia cabins rocks!
Christmas in the Mountains
One great reason to visit the Georgia cabins this winter is to experience Christmas in the mountains. The small communities around the foothills of the Appalachians have retained much of their old-world charm and remind us of simpler times, times when all a kid needed to be happy Christmas morning was an orange in her stocking.
Dahlonega kicks off the holiday season just after Thanksgiving and continues celebrating right through New Year’s with caroling, theater events, and a Christmas parade. Helen also gets into the holiday spirit with several events including the popular Christkindlmarkt, a traditional German event. No Christmas is complete without a great tree. Northern Georgia has several tree farms where you can cut a tree and enjoy a variety of activities and winter fun. Turn choosing a tree into a weekend and stay in the Georgia cabins.
A New Side of Nature
It’s easy to get out and enjoy the outdoors during the sunny days of spring, summer, and fall. Getting out into the woods during the colder months of winter can be just as rewarding, though. The stark beauty of nature during the shortest days of the year reveals new wonders of the forest and mountains you can’t see when all is in bloom.
Take a hike down a familiar trail after a snowfall to see the different sights. Book a sleigh ride or go horseback riding. Visit the spectacular Anna Ruby Falls with its twin cascades as the winter water flows into the waiting pool below. Nature has never looked so good.
Take it Easy
Of course, just taking it easy in the Georgia cabins makes for a great winter retreat as well. Sometimes we need the force of a vacation to slow us down and allow us to relax. Light a fire, curl up with a great book, and watch the snow fall outside the windows.
Get out of town this winter and fully immerse yourself in the joys of staying in a mountain cabin.
