Enota Mountain Retreat
By JamesWorkman March 11, 2015
Enota is a special camping experience, and one of the best places to take kids if you are into outdoors hiking backpacking or just being a family alone in the mts its a cool place to relax walk the grounds!, annd even though its constantly being update, after being bought by a special lady Swan, who will work to assist you in any way, please remember its a gem in the rough , with ongoing improvements, So if you expect a hotel room or cabin with central heat and air or phones or internet, then its not there! BEST TO LEAVE YOUR PHONE AT HOME lol or just turn it off when you enter the gate! if you need a phone one is there and you can access the internet from the lodge! , so take your family get out and walk and enjoy what nature offers you! Im going back !! ...read more

If I Could Spend a Three-day Weekend at Enota Retreat…
•March 3, 2011 •Leave a Comment i Rate ThisEnota Mountain Retreat is a beautiful, peaceful mountain lodge with cabins to rent, bed&breakfast services, or RV or tent sites. It's up to the individual what type of vacation/retreat they experience. Some people really enjoy "roughing it"; others, like this writer, have been quoted to say, "My idea of roughing it is staying at the Hilton and not getting a mint on my pillow!" Now, that might be a bit of hyperbole… but, not much. Fortunately, there is something for everyone when visiting at Enota.So… If I spent a three -day weekend as a guest at Enota, here is what I would do: I would rent one of the cabins or rooms with the amenities. The "Private Waterfall Rooms" are nice private rooms with a queen bed, linens, towels, air conditioner, heating, VCR/DVD player& bathroom and shower. There is a deck which overlooks one of the streams and the 200 foot waterfall is in the background. (Yes. Yes! YES!) OR, the cabins vary from a single room to two bedrooms, offering many variations of sleeping accommodations including single, double and queen-sized beds, and bunk-beds. Cabins are equipped with a VCR/DVD player, dining table and chairs, fully equipped kitchenettes and full bathrooms with showers. Some even include Jacuzzi tubs. Cabins also offer outdoor picnic tables, wooden decks and fire rings. (Oh, man! How can I choose? Wow! I'll bet my Hubby and I would like that Jacuzzi!)The first day of my three-day weekend, I would just hang around Enota Retreat, exploring the grounds. I'd like to see how the organic garden is coming along; I'd love to see the animals… maybe get to hold a baby animal or feed a horse, or watch a cow being milked. My Hubby would love to go fishing. Me, I'd opt out on that part (Hey, I already gave up the mint on my pillow y'know?) Maybe this would be a good time to get a DVD or go souvenir shopping at the Lodge, or both. So, day one could be pure relaxation and enjoying the many sights to be seen within Enota.Day two: We could go to Joel Creek. Joel Creek is located within Enota Mountain Retreat. There is a trail just past the trout pond that leads to the 150 foot fall. Up the trail and crossing the creek over a log you get a great view of the waterfall. On the other side of Joel Creek is another trail which leads to the bottom of the falls. Should we want to hike some more, we can walk about 200 yards to the trail marking the way to the Appalachian Trail. A nice walk in the woods, with a rushing creek provides a place to absorb nature and see some wildlife. Then, we could venture out a little further…How 'bout Brasstown Bald? The access trail to Brasstown Bald is only moments from Enota. This steep, paved trail leads from the parking lot on Brasstown Baldto the Visitor Information Center at the summit. Access to the summit is also provided by a shuttle.Brasstown Bald is the highest mountain in Georgia.The top of Brasstown Bald is 500 feet higher (4784′ is the listed elevation) than the start of the trail. From the Visitors Center is a 360 degree view of the surrounding mountains. Visible from the top are Rabun Bald (Georgia's second highest mountain, slightly north of due east), Blood Mountain (south of due west), and the Cohutta Mountains, (due west of the center). From the summit of Brasstown Bald you can see four states – Georgia, North Carolina, South Caroline, and Tennessee. Amazing vistas to see and to capture on film!Day three: Okay, time to venture out a bit further… Enota Mountain Retreat is located almost exactly midway between Helen, GA and Hiawassee, GA, both of which could be interesting… Hmmm… How 'bout BOTH? So, it's off to Helen in the morning. Helen is a quaint little town, nestled high in the mountains. There, we can enjoy the illusion of being in an Alpine village, admire the many items in the gift shops, watch some candles being made, take a horse&buggy ride, maybe buy some delicious fudge. Nice. Then, it's off in the opposite direction to Hiawassee. Here, we can enjoy a nice lunch (there are several restaurants) overlooking Lake Chatuge, then browse through art galleries and antique malls.Then, we would make the short drive back to Enota, settle in for the evening, maybe grill something out on the deck, enjoy that Jacuzzi… and dream of the next vacation. Let's make it a full week next time, okay?Enota Mountain Retreat, 1000 Hwy 180, Hiawassee, GA 30546(706) 896-9966email: enota@enota.comofficial web site: www.enota.com Please Share this:DiggStumbleUponEmailPosted inInformationTags:animals,Appalachian Trail,Brasstown Bald,cabins,camping,Enota Lodge,ENota MOuntain Retreat,Georgia,Helen GA,HIawassee GA,Jacuzzi,Joel Creek,Lake Chatuge,North Caroline,organic garden,relax,retreat,RV sites,South Caroline,Tennessee,trout fishing,trout pond,vacation ...read more
