THE COMFORT COLLECTIVE Be the First to Experience Our Newest Mountain Getaway

Mountaintown Creek Lodge has been a guest favorite since it joined the Southern Comfort portfolio, and this issue gives it the introduction it deserves. Six bedrooms, six full bathrooms, three acres along Mountaintown Creek, and enough indoor and outdoor space to keep a group of seventeen comfortable, entertained, and genuinely reluctant to leave.

This is a property built around the creek. Everything else, the fire pit, the swings, the stone pathway, the screened deck with the hot tub, is arranged around that sound and that access. Once you’ve spent an evening at the water’s edge, the rest of the stay feels like a bonus.

GET READY FOR FALL IN THE MOUNTAINS North Georgia is particularly good at making fall feel like an occasion.

A cool morning might begin with coffee on the cabin porch and turn into a drive along a mountain road simply because the leaves look especially good in that direction. A stop for apples becomes lunch in town. One vineyard leads to another, and before long, you’re watching the late-afternoon sun settle over rows of vines with nowhere else you particularly need to be.

That’s the beauty of autumn in the mountains. The weather invites you outside, the scenery rewards the long way around, and some of the best days are the ones with plenty of room for a change of plans.

Take the Scenic Route

In fall, getting there is half the fun. Around Blue Ridge, mountain roads wind beneath canopies of copper, gold, and deep red, with stretches along Aska Road and the Toccoa River offering plenty of reasons to slow down. Head toward the Aska Adventure Area for a hike, stop beside the river, or simply keep driving until a view convinces you to pull over.

Big Canoe offers a different kind of fall scenery. Tucked into the mountains between Jasper and Dawsonville, the community is surrounded by hardwood forests that put on a spectacular show as temperatures begin to cool. Lakes, mountain views, and wooded roads make even an afternoon with no particular destination feel well spent.

Visit Mercier Orchards

Fall in Blue Ridge has a flavor, and there’s a good chance it tastes like an apple cider doughnut. Mercier Orchards has been part of the Blue Ridge story for generations, and autumn is when this beloved family orchard feels especially at home. Rows of apple trees stretch toward the mountains, the market fills with the scent of fresh-baked treats, and baskets of just-picked apples make their way into cars headed back to cabins all over town.

Give yourself time to enjoy it. Depending on the season and what’s available, pick apples in the orchard, browse the market for local goods, and leave room for cider, a fried pie, or something warm from the bakery.

Stock up on a few favorites for the cabin, too—fresh apples have a way of becoming tomorrow morning’s porch snack or that evening’s dessert.
