Paradise Valley - Dawsonville, GA
Paradise Valley is definitely one of our favorite places. It's in a beautiful area of North Georgia, near Helen and Dahlonega. It's a great place to visit in the summer when it's so hot in Florida. The day fees are $90 per couple; however, that includes all of your meals on the weekends. You will not go hungry here! There's a coffee shop that opens early and there is a breakfast buffet. They also serve lunch and dinner as well as snacks in between, even ice cream! And the great part is that it is all included! The owner puts a lot of money back into the resort and does an excellent job. The members and guests are some of the friendliest people we have ever met. The parties are fantastic! Make sure to sign up for the newsletter as the website does not do it justice. There are two conversation pools, two hot tubs, and one pool. There are two outdoor bars, one indoor bar (daytime) and the nightclub with a bar. The owner is currently adding a wine bar. We have not been this year but it is always a treat to see what has been added since our last visit. Plan in advance as the accommodations on site book fast. We have gotten lucky ever time we have stayed with cancellations - so keep calling if they are booked. If you like hiking, there are trails near by.
