Small Town Charm

Forrest Hills Resort – Dahlonega, GA (1 hour 20 minutes away)
Want to unplug and slow down? This wooded escape features cozy cabins, horseback riding, on-site dining, and even couples’ massages.
Cabin Life, Hot Tubs, and No Schedule
Sometimes, the best weekend getaway is one where you do absolutely nothing. Just pick a cabin, pack a bottle of wine, bring a good book (or three), and you’re golden.
Consider searching for cabins on Airbnb or Vrbo in towns like Elijay, Talking Rock, and Blue Ridge (all within 2 hours of Traditions of Braselton). We recommend finding a cabin with a hot tub, mountain views, and a pet-friendly policy so you can bring your four-legged family members, too. You can eat at local restaurants in the area or bring groceries for the weekend and never leave the cabin (we’re not supposed to have a favorite, but that’s our favorite).
Live Where Every Day Feels Like a Getaway
Of course, you don’t have to go anywhere. Life at Traditions of Braselton offers the kind of country club living that makes staying home feel like a luxury retreat—complete with a scenic golf course, swim and tennis amenities, and a close-knit community you’ll love coming back to. But when you do need to get away? You’ve got the best of North Georgia at your fingertips.
