Brasstown Stables Overview & Services

Opened in June 2006, The Stables at Brasstown Valley Resort establishes the property as the only full-service resort and conference hotel in the North Georgia Mountains to offer guests a horseback trail-riding experience.

Featuring five miles of trails, the new Stables will primarily offer one- and two-hour guided mountain trail rides, accommodating all experience levels, from beginner to advanced. Guests will meander through open fields, hardwood forests and crystal-clear trout streams as they travel throughout the property. Custom excursions, hayrides and catered picnic rides also will be available for both individual and group outings.

For guests ages six-years-old and younger, the Stables will offer guided pony rides in the facility’s riding ring. This welcomed on-site attraction, which is perfect for both individual leisure guests and larger organized groups, is open to both resort guests and the general public.

Welcome Center Size: 1,200 square-feet Facility The Stables’ Welcome Center building features four main guest environments:

The Mercantile – A retail store, designed to have the look and feel of an old-fashioned merchant with western flair, which will carry an array of items – from cowboy boots to old-fashioned candies.
The Tack Room – A multi-purpose lounge area, featuring a 32-feet high x 10-feet wide, stacked-stone fireplace and comfortable furnishings, which will mainly serve as a reception/waiting area where riders and non-riders can congregate and kick-back in a relaxed, lodge-like setting; the area also can be converted into an inviting meeting space for smaller corporate retreats and other organized-group activities.
A center foyer area – A two-story, entrance area designed to stay open at all times, which provides guests with an immediate, extended view of the stables as they walk into the Welcome Center facility; the foyer’s expansive ceiling is octagonal in shape, providing visitors with a striking and memorable first impression of the Stables experience.
Front and rear porch areas – Two spacious porches lined with rocking chairs, which will provide guests with welcomed simplicity and comfort in the rustic surroundings of the horse-riding experience. Sitting on the rear porch, non-riding guests can watch riders mount and dismount their horses as well as enjoy the views of the scenic Stables setting.
