We can't let this letter to you go by without mentioning the tragedies that befell our country on the 11th of September. We grieve, but at the same time have had our hearts lifted by the words, acts and deeds of so many people coming together. Our prayers go out to all of those who've been touched by loss.
God Bless America!

Make It a Weekday Visit!
This is the busiest time of year here in Dahlonega and although the weekends are booked for this month we still have openings during the weekdays. Our weekday rates are less and you can traverse the mountains with little traffic and shop freely without crowds and congestion. It's a unique opportunity to stop and talk to shop keepers and locals and see what Dahlonega is like Monday through Friday. We're only one or two tanks of gas away and can provide the perfect, relaxing fall getaway! Drop us a line or visit our website for more information and availability. |
Gold Rush Days!!
The biggest event of the year is here once again! Gold Rush Days on our historic square is the largest arts and crafts festival in North East Georgia with music, food, stage shows, and much more throughout the weekend.
