“My wife and I just returned from celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary, at the Valhalla Resort Hotel. We absolutely LOVED it! The minute we drove up to the hotel’s front door, we were greeted by Steve, a tremendous valet! He genuinely treated us like we were the most important people in the hotel, right from the get go! Then, as we walked into the hotel, Judy welcomed us in with a smile, and explained to us what Valhalla had to offer. I felt like we were visiting with friends! Our room was beautiful, and quite festive, as our youngest daughter purchased the “Celebrate You” package for us! Later that evening, we went to have a drink at the Sky Bar, which has beautiful Mountain Views! Matt was the bartender, who fixed us an Old Fashioned, a Jalapeño Margarita. DELICIOUS! Matt is full of personality, and was right on point both days we spent time with him! Lastly, we met Jerry Murdock, the owner. Jerry was as kind as can be, and is an absolute riot! Thank you Valhalla, for helping to make our 30th wedding anniversary a most special one! We will be back!“

“Thank you, Kitty for the best pizza we've had in a long time and the wings were awesome. Love you guys.“

“Harvest Habersham is the area’s best kept secret for a truly outstanding dining experience. With its unique dishes and flavor profiles, dependent on what’s fresh and in season that day, Chef offers a truly spectacular meal from appetizer to dessert! Paired with wonderful wines or a curated cocktail, everything about the meal is delightful. Laura is always a pleasure, and the staff is wonderful and attentive. It’s our favorite spot for a special date night or celebration!“

“If you're a fan of the hole-in-the-wall vibe that local spots often have, you'll love this place.

As any food lover knows, these are typically the places where you find the best meals, and Smith's is no exception. The place is run by three incredibly nice people who take your orders and cook your food right there. They were super kind and got our food to us quickly, which is always a plus.We went with the classic burger and fries, and you could tell immediately that the burgers were made from fresh ground beef, formed into patties with care. The fries were Ore-Ida crinkle cuts, but honestly, they were just right alongside the burger. With great prices and delicious food, I would 100% go here again.“
