  1. Looking for a lakehouse with decent riding nearby. Has to be within about 3-4
    hours of Birminham AL. Pretty much means NW Georgia or NE Alabama (or even
    parts of Eastern TN or Western NC).

    Can anybody name a good lake to look around?

    I ask here, because one of the key criteria is (duh) access to good riding. And
    I know I can always count on this group to provide thoughtful, polite
    suggestions.

    Cheers,

    -Andrew

    I'd say go a coupla more hours into western N.C, and you'd find a plethora
    of sites. (alot of places on Fontana!) But there are a fair share in NW
    Georgia too.

    I know I know. The problem is that if I push for a place more than 3-4 hours my
    wife will (rightly) ask, "why not just get a beach house"

    The goal is to have a place that's pretty easy to get everybody up to Friday
    nights and home at a reasonable hour on Sunday (or even Monday morning before
    work).

    You're a Georgia guy, right? Is there anything up in the Rome area?

    Cheers,

    I dunno about any lake front rentals up there. (Not even sure if there is a
    sizable lake in the area. There are the Coosa & Etowah rivers though. ) But
    I do know there are MILES and MILES of trails in and around Berry College.
