Fun Family Times Around the Fire Pit

It was lightly sprinkling, but we were determined to have a fire at our fire pit. It was so nice with the crickets singing, the smell of the wood burning, the crackling of the fire wood, and the relaxing sensation of watching the fire. Our boys were having a ball talking with us and their grandparents, while toasting & burning marshmallows and hot dogs. What a wonderful relaxing evening at the fire pit. Stay in our North Georgia Vacation Cabins and experience the relaxation of hanging out around the campfire.

Orb Spider Building Web

During our vacation to our cabin rentals, we were so fascinated watching this spider build his web in front of our eyes. This Orb Spider built his spider web in between two chain pulls coming down from our outside porch Light Fan. We noticed the night before that his web looked kind of torn up, so he decided to build a sturdier web. We watched this spider as small bugs flew into his web. He immediately scurried down to the newly caught bug, and started spinning the bug in the web that was there. He then secreted more web (from his web hole.... I don't know what the scientific name for it is) and was wrapping the bug even more. Before you knew it, the caught bug was wrapped up like a little "Bug Mummy." The next morning we would visit the spider web, and it was missing a bunch of web pieces and we saw him resting on the fan. The next night, the process started all over again. During our visit, we called him our "Pet Spider." There is always something fascinating happening at our North Georgia Cabin Rentals, and I am there with a camera to take photos or video clips of these exciting instances. I tried to upload a longer video clip of the orb spider circling his web while making it, but it wouldn't upload.

Bass Fishing in the North Georgia Mountains

During our visit to Holly Pine Haven in September, my son found his way on the ATV to Fightingtown Creek. I drove to Fightingtown Creek in our van and it is 1.1 miles from our cabins. If our guests wanted to walk from the cabin, it is in walking distance if you are used to walking up and down gravel & dirt roads that are hilly. It is definitely cardiovascular exercise. Make sure your ticker is in good health or just drive your vehicle. Fightingtown Creek is off the dirt road in back of our cabins. Here is a picture of a 13" Small Mouth Bass that my son caught using Joe's Brand Spin Flies. My son gutted the fish by himself and cooked the meat in a pan with butter and garlic. He said it was the best tasting fish he ever had. He just told me he caught sun fish and trout from this same creek. Wish I had been there to take pictures of the other fish he caught!

If you stay in our Blue Ridge Cabins, you too can fish from his same creek and catch some pretty good fish.

Night Time Sounds in North Georgia Mountains

Here is a video clip of the night-time sounds of the crickets, katydids, and anything else that we don't see in the dark that makes sounds. I could easily fall asleep listening to the night time music made by mother nature. The North Georgia Mountains are wonderful and we truly enjoy the nature provided around our North Georgia Cabins.

New Game Room is Finished

The new game room in Holly Pine Haven, is now complete. We had our basement area totally renovated with tongue & groove, berber carpeting, pool table, foosball, air hockey, 32" wall mounted Satellite TV, DVD Player 2 comfortable chairs, and 2 spectator chairs.

First Night at Holly Pine Haven - Great Spider Picture

We arrived at our North Georgia Mountain Cabin Rental today. The renovation on our unfinished basement starts tomorrow. It will soon become a game room that everyone will enjoy.

When we arrived this afternoon, I noticed a wind-blown spider web outside on our back porch. I love taking photos of spider webs, bugs, flowers.... When it got dark, I could still see the spider web with the porch lighting. Trying out my new 10mp/12optical zoom fujifilm camera, trying different settings, I managed to take some really good photos of this spider getting done wrapping up his future meal and then fixing his web to catch more meals. Lots of moths flying around this web. Don't they have eyes???? They have no idea that they are lip-smacking good to a spider.

Of course, I will be adding these lovely spider pix to our website under the Georgia Mountain Cabin Rentals Bugs Insects Photo Page.

Gas Relief Discount Pricing

As a North Georgia Cabin Rental Company, for Cabin Rentals in the Georgia Mountains of Blue Ridge Georgia, we feel the need to decrease our cabin rental rates to compensate for the extremely high pricing of Gas. Our Renters travel from many different areas of Georgia and the surrounding states. By lowering our cabin rental rates, we hope the decreased cabin rental prices will increase the amount of miles they are willing to drive to get to our cabins. There are over 1400 North Georgia Cabin Rentals, with fierce competition. By lowering our Blue Ridge Cabin Rental rates to compensate for the high gas prices, we hope that will help alleviate their vacation money woes, and the money they will save on cabin rental fees, can be spent on the Blue Ridge Economy. Recently, we have had 2 batches of Guests wheel & deal with us because they wanted to only spend a certain amount on the cabin rental fees, so they could still participate in the local activities. Financially, most of us are having a hardship because of the extremely high gas prices. I just filled up my van yesterday and it cost me $70 for a tank of gas. That is the most I ever spent filling up our gas tank. With gas prices like this, I am staying closer to home too, but if given the opportunity to receive a big price break on a vacation rental, I would definitely reconsider.

Memorial Day Weekend - No more Vacancies

I am happy to say that our North Georgia Cabin Rentals have been reserved for the Memorial Day Weekend Holiday. We had to turn 5 inquiring renters away, which truly breaks my heart. I understand from one of our renters that many people were waiting to hear what the weather was going to be like for the weekend before making definitive plans, and that is why many renters waited last minute to make reservations. Fortunately for our weekend Guests, we offer Georgia Mountain Cabin Rentals Last Minute Specials for Guests reserving their stay 5 days of less from when it begins. Our Guests not only received accommodations in a luxury, rustic cabin rental, but they received a big discount & a heck of a deal. The weather in Blue Ridge Georgia, for this Memorial Day Weekend, is expected to be mostly sunny with afternoon temperatures to be 82 and night time temps to drop to the low to mid 50's. The cool, crisp night time temperatures will be perfect for our guests excited to enjoy Holly Pine Haven's outdoor camp fire pit & Deer Pine Lodge's outdoor fire place!
