It has several restaurants and is a fun place to visit.

Romantic Cabin Rentals for Getaway Weekend

We like to have an occasional weekend trip at our favorite romantic cabin rental. That way we have complete privacy and can enjoy our surroundings. I think the secret to planning a special, romantic vacation is to choose somewhere you both like to visit.
When we go to the mountains we plan out almost everything. We make a reservation for the weekend getaway package at a cabin that we’ve enjoyed before, and it has a grill and full kitchen, so we take our food.
Having time together that is not interrupted by worries, family problems, chores or any concerns is special time. It renews the relationship and keeps you close.

Maybe you're coming to see the world's largest laser show at Stone Mountain, or maybe you're visiting another outstanding landmark, the CNN Headquarters building. If you are an animal enthusiast then perhaps you're touring the giant panda site at the atlanta zoo or viewing the underwater exhibits at the Georgia Aquarium. Maybe you're not touring at all and you have an important conference to attend or some booth to setup at the yearly Dragoncon event on Labor weekend. There's a laundry list of reasons why one would visit Atlanta, be it Turner Field (home of Atlanta Braves) or flying via the Atlanta Airport to a different destination altogether. In any case, one thing is certain...if you are visiting Atl, then you must eat at the Varsity located in downtown Atlanta.
