Georgia Pumpkin Patched Named One Of The Best In The U.S.

In many regions of the country, it has become common to find Halloween candy displayed in stores in August. But late September and early October is the time when the pumpkin patches really thrive. TimeOut recently published a report on the best pumpkin patches in the country, and a Georgia location made the list.

"While every state produces pumpkins (yes, it’s true), only the country’s top patches offer gourds and good times—think fall activities like corn mazes and leaf-peeping and spooky Halloween fun, including haunted hayrides," TimeOut explains, providing details on their requirements.

When you plant pumpkin seeds, they typically begin to bloom within 8-10 weeks. Pumpkins then can take 90-120 days to mature, according to Creative Vegetable Gardner. Weather is an important part of the process. The warmer weather helps pumpkins grow, while the cooler fall temperatures are best for ripening.

Located at 125 Bannister Road in Dawsonville, Uncle Shuck's is also a 15-acre corn maze. In addition to walking the property to pick out your own pumpkin, you can make an entire fun day out of your visit. Other seasonal activities include a haunted trail, a goat walk, and a tire mountain for kids to climb. In addition, a tractor-driven wagon ride will take you on a tour of the farm.

Lastly, no pumpkin patch experience is complete without a festive treat. Uncle Shuck's has over 25 refreshment items to choose from. From fried twisted chips and fried Oreos as well as more traditional items. Those include things like roasted corn and lemonade. So, everyone in the family is sure to find something satisfying.

You can buy a season pass online or single tickets to visit Uncle Shuck's in advance. Walk-up entry is available as well.

A recent report by Shermans Travel detailed the 10 best Tiny House hotels in America, and a Georgia destination made the list. "Tiny homes are one of the hottest residential design trends right now," they explain.

In addition, Realtor.com published a story last year that gave readers a glimpse of what exactly is going on with the Tiny House trend in America. But what is a Tiny House? Typically, they are 100 to 400 square feet. Many of them (though not a requirement) are situated in quieter areas. It is very common to find tiny home communities tucked within nature, in a peaceful and serene setting.

Other common attributes include creative ways to establish storage space and loft beds. They are often energy-efficient simply due to the smaller footprint requiring less utility power.

"If you’re considering the tiny-home lifestyle, take it for a test drive before you hire a builder and go all-in," Realtor explained. That is another reason why having such Tiny House hotel options is helpful. It gives those who are interested a chance to try it out.

Located just 30 miles outside Chattanooga, Live A Little Chatt has three Tiny Houses on the property to stay at. "It’s evident that each was built with love and intention," Shermans Travel explains. The Old Blue Chair house accommodates up to five guests, while the Shangri-Little and Wandering Gypsy can sleep three people.

Visitors to Rising Fawn Georgia are in close proximity to Cloudland Canyon State Park. That's where you will find hiking trails and two waterfalls. However, there is also nothing wrong with staying on the hotel grounds to embrace the simple environment around you to unwind fully.

Each of the three options at this Georgia destination that was named in the list of best Tiny House hotels is uniquely different from each other. "We strive to give you the place to find your bliss and live deliberately." Live A Little Chatt says.
