Upcountry- Carolina Getaways Travel Directory is now up and running

Here’s a little quiz for those of you visiting our initial Carolina Vacation News blogsite for the first time. What two songs are connected in a rather picturesque way penned by two distinctly different singer/songwriters over two different eras, James Taylor of North Carolina and Johnny Mercer of Savannah, Georgia? James Taylor wrote “Carolina in my Mind” while Mercer wrote “Moon River” about the Bull River that flows into the Savannah River in coastal Georgia. Okay then you might well ask, what is the connection? Well the Headwaters of the Savannah River Basin actually originates a short distance away from our year round home up the road in upcountry Jackson County, North Carolina at the continental divide in the Blue Ridge Mountains just outside of Cashiers. And of course, these waters work their way southeast until they eventually flow past our adoptive home of Savannah before emptying into the Atlantic Ocean at Tybee Island, Georgia.

Both artists were inspired enough by their respective home states to write well known musical tributes to the geographic locales that grew up in. And in a very real sense, we are pointing out the same aspects of our mountain homes the Carolina Mountains upriver from our Lowcountry Savannah, Georgia historic district homes that we have opened up to travelers matriculating to these vacation destinations while booking our vacation rentals in upscale historic district townhouses, Victorian era Homes, affordable cottages, and comfortable condominiums at low rates. In the days and weeks ahead, we will continue to add inventory to our properties as more and more absentee property owners join our consortium of absentee property owners just like we started eight years ago in Savannah. Just like Savannah Getaways has you covered on the coast, we will indeed have your long weekend getaway travel needs covered in the North and South Carolina Mountains. We thank you for stopping by for our initial blog and trust you will look in on us from time to time as we keep your apprised on what’s up in the Carolina Mountains.
