The holidays are officially over, and many towns in Georgia close shop and retire to their homes to hibernate. Unlike other areas of the Peach State, Blue Ridge comes alive in the month of February with fun events to attend and plenty of opportunities to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
February brings with it clear skies perfect for long-range mountain vistas, spa days and massage sessions for couples, cozy cabin rentals with wood burning fireplaces, and trips to Downtown Blue Ridge for those looking to find the perfect Valentine’s gift for that special someone.
Whether you prefer to lounge around a cabin rental with your sweetie or want to get out and about to see what’s going on in town, there’s plenty to do in Georgia’s Blue Ridge this February!
