We'll be staying in a beautiful and private mountainside chalet in the Dillard, GA area. This stunning home is poised atop Black Rock Ridge, amidst mountain peaks, and offers some of the grandest views of the Appalachian in the beautiful Chattahoochee National Forest. As you drive up the mountain, a deep breath of fresh mountain air, stunning views, and the sound of the peaceful breezes filtering through the trees will melt away your stress. This home features a huge deck running the length of the house with plenty of room to relax, enjoy dinner, games, yoga and more! The main den features a cathedral stone fireplace and floor-to-ceiling glass stretching the entire length of the house to further enhance views. All rooms in the house have a mountain view from all three levels. There are two full living rooms on separate levels, a main kitchen and kitchenette. Join us for an amazing retreat to a luxury house with unparalleled views and endless adventures!

For the weekend events, we'll start by grilling out on our private mountainside deck enjoying the views of the sunset! On Saturday we'll drive to the Wild Water Center for everyone to enjoy their choice of preference...white water rafting, zip lining, or hiking! If you'd like to try both white water rafting and zip lining please let us know and we'll see if we can get enough people for a private tour in the afternoon on Saturday! For those rafting this will be a full day of rafting with ~5+ hours on the water!

White Water Rafting Details
We'll be rafting on the Chattooga River Section IV with the highly recommended Wild Water Rafting company! The Chattooga River begins at the base of Whitesides Mountain in North Carolina and flows in a southwesterly direction to form the border between South Carolina and Georgia. One of the wildest and most beautiful whitewater rivers in the country, the Chattooga was the first river in the Southeast to be designated "Wild & Scenic" by Congress and was used as a location for the movie Deliverance. The Sumter and Chattahoochee National Forests provide a wonderful wilderness fall leaf changing scenery while we raft class II, IV and V's down the river! With Section IV, sheer cliffs rise and waterfalls drop to the river's edge as you weave your way through house-sized boulders and challenging whitewater. Section IV is suggested for those with previous whitewater experience and who are in good physical condition and is fully guided. Within the River we'll experience 10 class III rapid, 6 Class IV rapids, and 2 Class V rapids which is sure to make for a great adventure! The address for the White Water Center is 1251 Academy Road Long Creek, SC 29658. This trip is an all day trip lasting approximately 7 hours with close to 5 hours on the river. Lunch will be provided.
