Does the thought of another Valentine’s Day in the city feel anything but romantic? Sure, there’s plenty to see and do, but what if you want to spend this Valentine’s Day focusing on what matters most: Your love?
And, with Valentine’s Day falling in the middle of the week this year, there’s no better excuse to whisk your love away for a weekend of pampering before heading back to the grind of everyday life and responsibilities.

Here, you’ll find cozy cabins with crackling fireplaces perfectly backdropped by panoramic views of the Southern Appalachians and a starlit sky.
Ready to start planning your perfect Valentine’s Day getaway? Here are three things that are sure to sell any hopeless romantic on a getaway to Ellijay:
Cozy Cabins
With over 1,500 cabins dotting the lakesides and ridge lines of the North Georgia Mountains, Ellijay is certain to have exactly what you’re looking for. Spend the weekend enjoying the quiet of nature. Imagine unplugging by simply sitting on the banks of a rushing river (Ellijay is home to three, after all) or by sipping coffee on the back deck of your cabin while the sun rises over the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The perfect cabin truly is the cornerstone of your best Valentine’s Day trip: this is where you will start your morning off on the right note and return to rest and recharge for the next day.
Many cabins offer fun amenities that make the best couple’s retreat even better.
Do you both love music? See if you can find a cabin with a record player then visit one of our awesome antique stores downtown to find a record to add to your collection. You can listen while playing board games or relaxing by the fire.
Did your affinity for a little friendly competition make you fall for each other? Pick a cabin with a billiards room or arcade and see who can win the best two out of three.
The perfect cozy cabin in Ellijay’s mountains really is a retreat in and of itself, but when you’re ready to embark on adventure, plenty is waiting for you.
