Romantic Getaways in the Mountains

Whether you're looking to buy or escape this Valentine season, check out these deals in Blue Ridge.

House Hunt usually features a variety of homes within local Patch zip codes. This week, in honor ofValentine’s Day, we thought you might enjoy exploring romantic getaway homes in Blue Ridge.

Why? It’s only an hour from close enough to commute Atlanta (a straight shot down I-75 and I-575), yet nestled in the private and beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in Fannin County.

Because of its proximity and convenience, more people are gravitating to Blue Ridge and making a “lifestyle” move. Rich history, lakes, mountains, hiking trails, white water rafting, year-round festivals and the Blue Ridge Scenic Railroad add to its unique charm.
