MOUNTAIN CABINS: The perfect place to stay during your fall fun is at The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort, which offers very affordable accommodations within close proximity of mountain attractions. The Villas offers one, two, and three bedroom cabins and villas, some of which feature hot tubs, lofts, river views, and mountain scenes.

THE GENERAL STORE CRAFTS: Now off to the local flavor! Just right outside of the Eagle Mountain Gate of the resort is The General  Store that features a craft market every Saturday from 8am to 2pm. Step back in time to slower days of the old general mountain store where friends gather for special activities, every day needs, good food, good times, and arts and crafts. Enjoy shopping amidst the mountains and grab a bite to eat at The General Store while you are at it.

HUCKLEBERRY HOLLER: From cow train rides, jumping pillow, corn maze, pedal carts, giant inflatable slide, haunted corn maze, pig races, hay rides, bounce house, haunted house, pony rides, and petting zoo, Huckleberry Holler has filled with fantastic fall fun!

HILLCREST APPLE PICKIN’ JUBILEE: The top apple farm that makes our list is Hillcrest Orchards. Hillcrest Orchards is located along ‘apple farm alley’ and offers pick-your-fun. During the annual "Apple Pickin' Jubilee", visitors can pick their own apples, milk a cow, watch live pig races, visit the petting farm, take a wagon ride through the orchard, visit the Moonshine Museum and watch live bands & cloggers on the Hillcrest Stage. A giant slide and jumping pillow add extra fun for the kids! And before leaving, make sure to gather a bag of crisp apples to take with you! Hillcrest Orchards is located off of Highway 52 E.

BURT’S PUMPKIN PATCH: Then, just minutes down the road from the Hillcrest Orchards is the best pumpkin patch around: Burt’s Farm. One of the most impressive features of Burt’s Farm is the vast array of pumpkin types, winter squash, gourds and fall decorations. Indian corn, cornstalks and hay bales are also in never-ending supply. Don't forget to check the "barn" store for Burt’s fresh baked pumpkin pie and pumpkin roll, candied popcorn and a whole assortment of other goodies. And take a hayride through the mountains to soak in all of the autumn flavor. From 75 N, Burt’s is located 1/2 mile on your right from the highway 183/52 intersection on highway 52.

Come and be part of the lively atmosphere of spectacular North Georgia! You’ll gather as many happy memories as apples. Enjoy the colorful pumpkin patches, winding hayrides, and adventurous corn mazes.

So, why does Georgia celebrate apples anyway? In the early 1900′s cotton was a large part of Georgia’s economy, but by the 1920’s the boll weevil beetle arrived and practically ruined the cotton industry. Apple orchards saved the day for Georgia, and Gilmer County, by bolstering the economy. In the early 1970’s, Georgia started celebrating the apple for saving the local economy during the hard times created by the loss of the cotton crops.

Ellijay apples are "absolutely the best". When you pick Ellijay for apples you get the juiciest, crunchiest, and yummiest apples of them all. Nestled in the mighty Appalachian Mountains, Ellijay is the center of Georgia's apple country. From late August to December, roadside stands overflow with the most scrumptious mountain apples around. And when purchasing directly from the growers, the apples are better tasting, fresher, less expensive.

Come on out to Ellijay, Georgia this October and stay at The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort. Enjoy the resort with all its amenities as well as its close proximity to the Apple Festival. Make it a weekend autumn getaway filled with sweet adventures for all! For more information or to make reservations:

North Georgia Fall Vacation- Apple Festival

Guess all you people must be busy planning for your fall vacation and am sure most of you get the feel, that you are revisiting the same places yet again. If you are the kind of person who would like to experience a new kind of travel and want to expand your travel endeavors. One of the best places to choose will be the North Georgia Mountains. These mountains in North Georgia are part of the Blue Ridge mountain chain which is believed to be a billion years old. This information may give you an old fashioned feel, but the things to do in the mountain are trendy. Be it tubing, hiking, canoeing or kayaking the Georgia Mountains offers you all. This is a place which will woo your lens eye with its cascading waterfalls and sensational scenery. North Georgia Mountains offer you nature at its best.

Fall is one of the best times to visit the Georgia Mountains as they have a number of festivities happening and the apple of the eye is the apple festival. The festival happens in the second and third week of October at Ellijay lions club fairground. The festival has an intriguing history. The story is that the boll weevil which is a beetle, fed on cotton crops which were the major source of income for Georgia. At this juncture when the boll weevil where causing havoc to the cotton crops, the apple was introduced and the apple orchards boosted the economy saving Georgia from the crisis. So in order to show their gratitude towards the apples, the apple festival goes on the floors every October.

This year would earmark the 40th Georgia Apple festival. The festival would consist of a lot of activities and would enthrall audience of all ages. The arts & crafts fair in the festival has been admired by many, they have around 300 artists showcasing their crafty skills in handmade, hand-crafted items. Also the craftsmen would demonstrate how they carve these wonderful crafts. Next to the apple festival will be an antique car show, this would be one loved by the car fanatics.

We got just one advice for those who are planning to go for the apple festival- spend some extra hours at the gym because your taste buds are going to witness the most delicious food, which feels like made from heaven’s kitchen at the apple fest. There are number of delicacies at the apple fest- apple fritters, fried pies, apple breads and much more apple delicacies. It’s very tough to choose your favorite food at the apple fest as every item you have keeps you wanting more. For suggestions I would say don’t miss the Greek salad, fried turkey legs and the steak/lamb gyro. Don’t miss to try the trout which is a local favorite. You got other delicacies lined up your mouth too like the funnel cakes, candy apples, pork skins, rice and more. You have delicious deserts too which make the meal complete.

There are number of activities for kids too like rock climbing, animal exhibits etc. The apple festival costs 5$ for adults and is free for children under 10 but the joy and happiness you get over there is priceless. Stay at The Villas at Coosawattee for accommodations near the festival with prices less expensive than a hotel or hotel, complete with resort amenities!

Second, what better way to warm your body and soul than to soak in a hot tub? With one of The Villa’s hot tub accommodations, you can enjoy the view of the North Georgia Mountains from the comfort and warmth of your indoor hot tub. Relax those muscles, clear your mind, and warm your body in a four-person hot tub. Warm water massage stimulates the body to release endorphins that reduce stress naturally. In addition to stress reduction, the jets dilate blood vessels to help prevent headaches. Also, soaking in hot water before retiring to bed assists in falling asleep faster, sleeping deeper, and getting a truly good night's sleep.

Third, take a dip in the resort’s heated Junior Olympic-sized pool. The pool is enclosed for comfortable swimming year round and utilizes a state-of-the-art saline chlorination system. The water, as a result, is much easier on eyes, skin, hair, and clothing while still protecting against germs, bacteria and algae. And don’t forget about those little ones—a heated kiddy pool is available to splash & play in shallow water.

Last, if reading a good book by the glow of a fire sounds mighty inviting, visit the Coosawattee Library to pick out the perfect read while on your North Georgia getaway. Books, videos, and cassette tapes are available at the Coosawattee Libray, as well as a children’s section hosting an array of age appropriate material. The library operates on the honor system and is open when the POA office is open.
