Itinerary:

Who's ready for a nice and relaxing weekend in the mountains?! We'll arrive on Friday (cabin opens at 4pm), cook dinner, and hang out by an outside fire and/or enjoy the six-person hot tub. On Saturday morning, we'll have a yummy breakfast and head out to Amicolola Falls for a wonderful hike. We can make bagged lunches and take it with us on the hike. Or, you can relax and read a book at the cabin or go into town...it's up to you, just enjoy yourself! We'll come back and cook a great dinner that night. Maybe roast some marshmellows at the great firepit outside...and of course, get in the hot tub. Sunday we'll get up and have a spread of breakfast items and pack up and head home around noon.

You can click here to check out the cabin: Carter's Lake Lodge

The cabin is 3300 sq feet. It has 4 bedroom with a loft, has two beautiful stone fireplaces, 3 full baths, and a large screen TV with satellite. There are several porches with great views of the mountains and lake. You can play pool, horseshoes, or basketball (bring your own basketball). This is a great place to kick back and get away from the city.
