Daffodils, tulips, red buds…… are all just a few of the picturesque signs that spring is here.  A visit to the North Georgia Mountains at this time of year is beyond the word refreshing.  The small mountain town of Blue Ridge, GA begins their southern hospitality events in March every year and families are making the spring trips to Northwest Georgia a family tradition. 

O n Saturday, April 3rd, the Blue Ridge Scenic  Railway will run the Easter Egg-spress .  It will depart at 4:00pm and return no later than 6:00pm. Children bring along their Easter Baskets and travel on the train a few miles out of town to farmer Brown’s field where the children hunt for the Easter Eggs and greet the Easter Bunny. For those 2 and above the fare is $16.00. No charge for those under 2 not occupying a seat.  It is a sight to warm the heart when all those little children show up with their laughter and giggles and jump up and down in one spot asking “when can we get on the train, when can we get on the train?!”  And to see their smiling faces when they return with their easter baskets over flowing with treats ——- well, you can’t help but smile.  

Many families rent from Rainbow Cabins for a place to relax after a busy day in downtown Blue Ridge and the Easter Eggspress event.  Most of our cabins offer a great area for the kids to play and hide their eggs and all are on one of the beautiful bodies of water located in these North West Georgia Mountains.

We would love to accomodate you in one of our cabins and assist you in booking your Eggspress train ride.  Whether you’re a family of 20 or a party of 2—–Rainbow Cabins has a place for you.  Please visit our website at www.rainbowcabins.com or call us at 706-258-3678.  You may just find your vacation pot of gold at Rainbow Cabins.

What a great time of year to visit a cabin in the north Georgia Mountains.  One of Rainbow Cabins  most requested cabins is SunsetRiver.  It sits 50 ft from the Toccoa River, has a hot tub that overlooks the water, fire pit and hammock, not to mention all the Toccoa River water life there is to watch and enjoy in the spring.

There is a very large field across from the cabin SunsetRiver and just on the other side of the field are the train tracks that host the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway.  As the train nears the famous Curtis Switch RR crossing it begins to blow its whistle.  Due to the fact you are in the mountains, the sound travels with an echo thru the little valley.  You cannot see the peoples faces in the open air cars as they pass in the distance but they all stand and wave as they pass the cabin and they get ever so excited when anyone waves back.  Like I said, it is a good 3 football fields away from this cabin but the passengers wave like they know you are watching for them!

Kids love the train as do many adults and it is a great treat for an afternoon adventure in the North Georgia Mountains.  The train runs from Blue Ridge, GA to McCaysville, GA and it is a 2 hour round trip and you get off the train in McCaysville for about an hour so you can plan on at least a 3 hour expedition.  It really is a great way to spend a spring afternoon and then return to your cabin on the waterfront for your evening around the camp fire.  For more information about the train times and rates you can visit BlueRidgeScenicRailway.com.
