Ring in the New Year 2013 in the Georgia Mountains

Want a peaceful and relaxing place to welcome the New Year? Perhaps you’re seeking a romantic setting to ring in the New Year? How about trying something new this New Year’s Eve? We have just the place for you!

The Villas at Coosawattee River Resort has many distinctive, memorable, AND affordable options for your New Years Eve celebration. Count down the New Year in the warmth and relaxation of your hot tub… or perhaps you’d like to ring in the New Year next to a roaring campfire at one of the six river parks… or maybe toasting your tootsies in front of a roaring fire in your cabin is your ideal way of welcoming 2013 … or possibly venturing out to one of the local establishments for some dinner and drinks is more your style.

Whatever setting you prefer, the Villas has one, two, and three bedroom accommodations along with resort amenities to suit everyone’s preferences! Each accommodation option is reasonably priced starting around $85.00 per night. The hot tubs are a perfect spot to pop open a bottle of bubby and say farewell to the old year and welcome in the new. Each unit has a deck, and depending on your location in the resort, you can enjoy the sounds of the river or the scenic views of the mountains in the distance. No matter where you are in the resort, nature is in abundance and surrounds you with all the beauty and rustic treasures of the North Georgia Mountains.

Each rental has a full kitchen… not that you have to use it. Have gourmet dining in your resort lodging by contacting Cabin Cuisine. Let Cabin Cuisine prepare an exquisite meal without the preparation or clean-up. Dine and celebrate in privacy and complete relaxation. Or perhaps awake to the smell of fresh brewing coffee as Chef Douglas prepares a gourmet brunch. Imagine having a spectacular brunch served in your cabin and all you have to do is roll out of bed. Each menu is created to satisfy your desires and served at your table.

Accommodations also include use of the resort’s amenities: heated indoor pool, fitness facility, arcade, tennis courts, miniature golf, six river parks, and the Coosawattee Library--  just to name a few.

Wake up on the first day of 2013 is to take the Amicalola Falls New Year's Day Hike! Start 2013 off with a brisk walk full of winter views to the highest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi River. Meet at the West Ridge Falls Access Trailhead, 0.6 of a mile round-trip. For more information, call 706-265-1969. Or enjoy some Starbuck's coffee from East Ellijay while kicked back on your deck overlooking some of the most scenic views of the Coosawattee River Resort. And what a better place than nestled in the mountains to enjoy all of the New Year’s Day parades and football on television!

Just a short ride north of Atlanta, experience the perfect place to kick back, relax, and welcome in the start of your new year. And what is a more ideal way to spend New Years Day than in the North Georgia Mountains. Enjoy some peace and quiet in this close to nature’s retreat.

Holidays 2012 Over the River and Through the Woods

Cozy-up in a rustic North Georgia Mountain cabin and create some magical holiday memories. Whether Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Years, create some extraordinary holiday traditions by heading up to The Villas at Coosawattee. Toast your tootsies in front of the fire, cut down your own Christmas tree, kick back in a relaxing hot tub, sip hot chocolate on a scenic cabin deck, or take a wintry walk through the woods. Make The Villas at Coosawattee your home away from home this holiday season.  

The Villas at the Coosawattee River Resort offers cabins and villas starting as low as $85 per night tucked away in the mountains in all of the most scenic locations of the resort.

The Villas’ Recreation Center, six river parks, and Coosawattee Library give guests plenty to enjoy and explore. The Recreation Center features an indoor heated pool, fitness facility, miniature golf, tennis courts, and more. The six river parks have varying features such as fishing, play-grounds, and fire rings perfect for s’mores! Don’t forget your graham crackers, chocolate bars, and marshmallows. If you need a book to read while relaxing, the Coosawattee Library may have just what you are looking for.  

Take a day to cut your own Christmas tree at one of the many Christmas tree farms in the North Georgia Mountains such as Lowery’s Tree Farm, Whisenant Mountain Farm, and Jones Tree Farm. Or take a wintry walk around The Villas at Coosawattee's grounds and collect decorations for your tree and cabin.

Another change in tradition is going beyond the bird. Spending the holidays away from home doesn’t mean that you are obligated to eat at a hotel buffet. Use the accommodation’s full kitchen to take a break from traditional menus. Spice up Thanksgiving with pot roast, Cornish hen or ham instead of turkey. The Villas features all of the necessary dishes and kitchen equipment, but you may want to bring a roasting pan for the turkey and baking sheets for that special holiday baked treats.

Maybe forgoing all the fuss of holiday cooking is more appealing. Well, several fantastic options are available. Have gourmet dining in your resort lodging by contacting Cabin Cuisine. Let Cabin Cuisine prepare an exquisite meal—which allows everyone to be free of cooking and cleaning and to enjoy the memorable time in the mountains.  Another option is to pick-up your feast from one of the many restaurants in the Ellijay and East Ellijay areas, such as Charlie’s Italian Restaurant, Davis House Restaurant, Cantaberry Restaurant, or Corner Stone Café. Give the place a call well ahead of time to establish operating hours and menu items. And last, bring your feast with you and store in your accommodations refrigerator until the big day. What a treat just to reheat! 

Whatever your choice for the holiday feast, one thing is for sure—a holiday in the mountains can’t be beat. The air smells fresher, the sky looks bluer, the trees are more beautiful, and the birds sing a little sweeter. Make your holidays not only fun and magical ... make them also relaxing. Have family and friends meet at The Villas at Coosawattee and let those good times roll. A good old fashion holiday is right there, over the river and through the woods!
