MOUNTAIN MORNINGS AT HILLSIDE RETREAT

There's something special about waking up in the North Georgia mountains.

At Hillside Retreat, mornings can begin with the sun rising across the mountain ridges, filling the sky with shades of orange, pink, and gold.

Grab a cup of coffee.

Step onto one of the covered porches.

Listen to the birds.

Watch the mountains wake up.

Then decide what kind of day you want to have.

Lake day?

Hiking?

Downtown Blue Ridge?

Or maybe you don't leave the cabin at all.

Please note that mountain views naturally change with the seasons. During the summer months, leaves on the surrounding trees make the views less expansive than during fall and winter.
