Paradise Is Just Over An Hour Away

Worn out parents can hop in the car, head up Georgia 400 and end up in a grown up paradise. Chattsworth, near Ellijay and Blue Ridge are within an hour and a half away from Cumming and have so much to offer.

The bed and breakfasts in the North Georgia mountains boast lakefront views, adult-only accommodations, spas, wineries and activities without the kids in mind.

Couples can lounge around by a waterfall, picnic in the woods, hike, go on a horseback ride, a kayak or rafting trip or just stay in and do absolutely nothing. Rocking chairs on porches are plentiful and the sound of nature is everywhere. The area also has golf courses, restaurants and parks for your enjoyment. The simple surroundings of peace and quiet are sure to bring a smile to the weariest parent.

A couple of places that may interest you for your weekend away include the following bed and breakfast resorts. These have received recognition on a variety of Web sites and from magazines for their superior accommodations that offer luxury, romance and gourmet food.
