Easter Travel? Spring Break? Time for a ROAD TRIP!

Time for Easter! Time for Spring Break! Time for hitting the road and taking a trip to the North Georgia Mountains where you can not only enjoy the beautiful wildflowers, majestic mountains, and warmer weather, but you can stay at a resort for prices of a motel or hotel! Not only that, no full-body scans or pat downs are required! No passports are required to pass through the resort gates, and there are no additional luggage charges! Wow, you can’t beat that! Best of all, no standing in long lines to get your boarding pass! You just drive on into the resort and enjoy your time at The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort.

Now let’s get back to what you get for the price. You pay the price of a hotel or motel but get all of the privileges of a resort!
