Who’d’ve thunk? A man clad in six-inch platform boots, a white sequined coat, and oversized, ruby-tinted glasses … all the glamor of 1970s London … is such a hit in these hills.

By popular demand, we’re bringing back the "Rocket Man"! He’s saying “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” and hello Blue Ridge Mountains. As ‘Bennie and the Jets” echoes through the rafters of the Lodge, the crowd always joins in.

You won’t want to miss this encore performance!

The Copperhead Lodge invites you to an evening where the silver screen meets the silver spoon. Please join us for a cinematic culinary journey through the rain-slicked streets of Manhattan, hosted right here in the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains. The screen flickers to life. , .

Audrey.

The black dress.

The pearls.

Notes of "Moon River" drift through the timber rafters of The Lodge. As Holly Golightly traverses the Upper East Side, our chef will guide you through a multi-course menu designed to mirror every iconic moment on screen. From our signature welcome popcorn which sets the scene to a sweet finale, each bite is timed to the flicker of the film.

Don’t be like Holly—bring your key, leave your cat at home, and prepare for a night of rustic elegance and 1961 glamour. (Channel you 1961 Holly glamor attire, or come as you are!)

You aren't just watching, my friend. You are embarking on a sensory odyssey where rustic elegance meets Fifth Avenue chic. For 1 hour, 55 minutes escape to Tiffany’s.

The Flying Trout presents Sunday Supper - a ritual as old as people have lived in these hills. Not "brunch" exactly - that’s a city word for people in too much of a hurry ... This is family style.

The table is a rustic wooden expanse buried under the bounty of the Blue Ridge prepared with love by Matthew.

You'll almost always see fried chicken, golden and  crackly giving way to tender meat; bowls of sides like collard greens that have simmered since the first bird sang in the morning, mashed potatoes, fried okra, corn muffins, biscuits, corn; a fruit cobbler, perhaps peach or blackberry, still bubbling from the oven, all served with a pitcher of iced tea that sweats in the mountain air.

Sit on the creek-side deck or in our dining room. We'll bring bowls of food, you select what suits you. Mountain Casual dining in heart of the hills.

Reservations recommended, but definitely not required.  706-745-8000

Kim with her upright Bass. Curtis with his guitar. It’s uniquely genuine. It’s Mississippi Delta blues played with the fire of a Spanish flamenco dancer and the soul of an Appalachian preacher. Don’t miss ‘em!

Local Musicians Southern Vantage perform on our creek-side deck. Enjoy gritty, guitar-driven anthems from legendary artists like Lynyrd Skynyrd, Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Eagles, Tom Petty, and The Allman Brothers. Plus, a deep catalog of timeless country staples and current hits, covering icons like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Garth Brooks, and Brooks & Dunn, alongside modern heavyweights like Chris Stapleton and Luke Combs.

Appalachian heritage collides head-on with pure, unadulterated rock and roll. No synthesizers. No studio tricks. Just two men, some wood, some wire, and a rhythm that gets inside your soul and refuses to leave. Dance on the deck under the mountain stars.

Ray LaBean returns creating a journey through classic rock nostalgia, perfectly framed by the rustic, open-air charm of the North Georgia mountains on the back deck of The Lodge

HC Country brings the best of Country music to the lodge. Storytelling at it’s best

On the patio of the Copperhead Lodge, the air is jumping. Pitmaster Clayton has spent the last eighteen hours wrestling baby back ribs and pork butt into submission, and the result is a low-and-slow masterpiece of Texas toast and baked beans that would make a drill sergeant weep.

On the Lodge Deck, a 14-year-old in a crisp, period-correct uniform adjusts his headset. He is Caleb, the tireless spirit behind G.I. Jive Radio. The music is as sharp as a newly pressed crease in a pair of wool trousers. Glenn Miller’s brass section slices through the mountain fog; Ella Fitzgerald is swinging straight into the heart.

Caleb’s voice bridges the gap between a 1940s foxhole and a 2026 Memorial Day afternoon. He hasn’t just curated a playlist; he has summoned the ghosts of the USO dances at Camp Toccoa. He talks to veterans with the reverence of a historian, reminding us all exactly why we have the day off.

You won’t want to miss this genius.

This Memorial Day weekend, follow the smoke to The Copperhead Lodge. Our pitmaster, Clayton from Full Throttle Ministries will be loading the big smoker with chicken, baby back ribs & pork butt for a low-and-slow feast with accompaniments like baked beans, Texas toast, corn bread, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and corn on the cob.

In honor of our military heros, the retro rhythms of our G.I. Jive DJ will keep the patio jumping from 2 til the sun drops!

Bring the whole family to celebrate, reflect, and enjoy some of the best BBQ in town.

We have reserved a few cozy cabins with private hot tubs, and lodge rooms just steps from the creek. Come for the barbecue. Stay for the live music, the mountain vistas, and a ritual as old as the hills themselves.

The Copperhead Lodge — Where summer begins.

We’re excited to welcome Gabe Myers on the back deck!

The air at the Bodega Catena Zapata - Pioneers of Argentine Malbec - carries the scent of melting Andean snow and the ghost of a tango danced in a dusty plaza in 1924. Perhaps that tango gave rise to the idea to plant grapes and make wines…. and over 100 years later Catena’s wines are still being produced. Highly regarded and receiving numerous awards and accolades, these wines are the soul of Argentina in a bottle. Join us as we delve into the specific flavor profiles of these high-altitude malbecs, cabs, and chardonnays.

Jorge Liroy, premier Catena Fine Wine Specialist, will join us exclusively at The Lodge to present these wines. Our team will pair a dish for each wine for a curated dinner experience.

Not a Wine Person? You don’t need a glass of red to feel the pulse of the Andes. You only need an appetite and a soul. Come for the conversation. Come for the music. Come for the 5-course Chef’s Dinner. The table is set. The wine is optional. The experience with Mook & Mimi is everything!

Mook & Mimi Return to The Lodge! Don’t Miss ‘em!

You’ve spent the morning inhaling the intoxicating perfume of castor oil and aviation fuel. Your eyes are weary from tracing the polished chrome of a 1957 roadster and the riveted wings of a taildragger. You are famished. Not for a protein bar or a cardboard coffee, but for the kind of sustenance that fueled the men who built this country.

Just down the road, a stone’s throw from the Blairsville runway, there is a table waiting. It’s "Sunday Supper" served with the communal spirit of a country barn raising. No menus. No pretension. Just plates passed by hand, laden with fried chicken so crisp it snaps like a dry twig and buttermilk biscuits that defy the laws of gravity.

Join us at The Copperhead Lodge! For a $25 All-You-Care-To-Eat Country-Style Feast!

The Jeff Rogers band brings a soulful sound with a bit of grit and a lot of heart! Join us for dinner and live music!

Michael Jackson — A man — no, a specter of pure pop adrenaline—slides across the floor with the effortless grace of a greased mountain lion. It’s the "Moonwalk" … in Blairsville. The Lodge is the center of a rhythmic cyclone. It’s dangerous. It’s "Bad." It’s one night only. …. Like off-Broadway …. catch this debut before it moves on to three sold out Hot-Lanta Hurricane performances.

The MJ Tribute Essentials

The Glove: Crystals that catch the light like sun on the icy peak of the Bald.

The Fedora: Stiff felt, angled for maximum mystery.

The Spirit: Pure, unadulterated energy that transcends the quiet of the woods.

From the Boardwalk to the Boulevard, It’s Swing night at The Copperhead Lodge!

Whether you love the high-energy, classic bounce of East Coast Swing or the smooth, sleek "slotted" style of West Coast Swing, the floor is yours! Never tried it? Swing is all about community and here in the hills, it’s rugged enough for the mountains, refined enough for the Anchor step. It says you know your way around a fly-rod, but you haven’t forgotten how to lead.

Sandy is a local favorite who makes learning easy and welcoming. Grab a partner (or find one here!) and let the music move you. Enjoy great food and drinks between sets while you soak in the mountain air.

Celebrate the woman who taught you how to tie your shoes and how to look a thunderstorm in the eye. We’ll be serving up a feast fit for the queen in your life. Best of all, it’s easy going at The Copperhead Lodge. You can enjoy a table in our dining rooms, or on our expansive creek-side deck as spring comes to the hills. Attire at our Flying Trout Restaurant is truly Mountain Casual: leave the tie, and keep the character.

But book your table … reservations vanish faster than a summer morning fog!

Will you be joining us at the carving station, or staying home with the toast and peanut butter?

May 9th. 6:00 PM. The lawn at The Copperhead Lodge: The sun is dipping low, casting long, dramatic shadows across the grass—the kind of shadows that make a gal look like she’s actually mastered the Warrior II pose, even if she’s mostly just trying not to spill her drink.

We provide the atmosphere… The mountain air, the crispy Sauvignon that tastes of tropical citrus and lost youth.

You provide the flexibility—or at least a spirited attempt at it.

It’s yoga. It’s wine. It’s the realization that life is too short to stretch without a glass of something fermented in your hand.

Don't be the person who misses this and spends the rest of the spring wondering why their chakras feel like unwashed winter wool.

Bring your friends! Michael Hulett: the man, the musical chameleon, is returning for a one night dinner engagement! This amazing musician is a single artist containing a multitude of talents. The Smooth sound of his voice begins like a whisper in the dark, and transforms throughout the evening from warm, comforting velvet to bold, brazen silk, calling you to the dance floor. His dulcet saxophone stylings bring romance into the room. Come for the evening, or stay for the night at The Lodge with our Stay & Play Package!

Call our front desk to reserve your table!

As the sun sets over The Lodge, Gregg Erwin’s Outlaw Music tells stories of heartbreak, lawlessness and life on the road sung with a style that echoes the working-class struggles of these hills. The music bridges the gap between traditional country and folk lyrics . Everything here—the music, the wood-paneled walls, the distant howl of the wind will take you back to the honkytonk days of Waylon, Willie and The Boys!

It’s an unlikely marriage. A Mexican fiesta in the heart of Appalachia. But when the first plate of Chocolate Mole Chicken arrives the mountain air suddenly feels like the coast of Oaxaca. In a cultural heist, the band starts - Jose and his boys - a four-piece conga ensemble that understands rhythm is a requirement. Before the second round of Jalapeno Mint Margaritas arrive, the line forms - stretching past the fireplace, weaving through the dining hall - a human chain of joy in a place meant for solitude.

On the menu: Authentic Mexican soul meets Mountain Grit. Carne Asada Strip Steak. Esquites with a heat that rivals a July noon. Jicama and Citrus Salad. Fresh Snapper Ceviche. Chocolate Mole Chicken. Mexican Flan. Tres Leches Cake. and more.

For a couple of hours, the lodge becomes a sanctuary of cinema, tucked away from the frantic pace of the modern world.

For this movie night, each dish is a relic, a story, and perhaps a small gamble with fate. A flicker of the projector. The snap of a bullwhip. Indiana Jones navigates the Peruvian jungle, and you—fortunate soul—navigate the rustic, environs of The Copperhead Lodge.

Experience dinner & a movie in our intimate setting with farm to table ingredients providing the perfect backdrop for a night of cinematic archeology.
