Yoga & Spa Retreat in Dahlonega, GA

A friend and I were in need of a little getaway for some relaxation and rejuvenation.  We came across this adorable spot in Dahlonega, GA.  We flew into Atlanta, rented a car and headed to the hills.  It is about an hour or so outside of Atlanta.  You literally travel a dirt road to get to the location.  There is a beautiful farmhouse with a bed & breakfast feel.  We stayed in one of their rustic cabins, but the beds were comfy and we enjoyed the flashback to summer camp.  The resort offers a number of packages.  We opted for the 3-Day Mind, Body & Spirit, which includes daily yoga classes as well as two 60-minute spa treatments.  Meals are also included.

We had a fun a time exploring the area as well.  Who knew Georgia had wine country?  We strolled around the quaint downtown area popping into the shops, art galleries and enjoyed some wine tastings as well.

We both love a good hike and what better way to balance out the wine tasting.  There are a number of great hikes with beautiful waterfalls in the area.  We opted for Raven Cliff Falls as it was a decent trail, but didn't require any special footwear other than sturdy sneakers.  The pay off to the hike was a beautiful waterfall and a serious fresh air fix.
