Biker Relaxation at the New Lodge at Copperhead
March 11, 2010
Even the most hardcore bikers need to stop and rest from time to time. The road can be very demanding and it’s always a great thing to spend some time in a place where you can rest, relax, and recharge.
Thankfully the Lodge at Copperhead, formerly the Copperhead Lodge, will reopen under new management. The Blairsville, GA lodge will have a ribbon cutting ceremony on March 31st and grand opening activities through April 4th.
The lodge was purchased at auction by long time motorcycle enthusiasts from Florida, Michelle Evans and Anthony Cassulo. Evan and Cassulo have always wanted to own and operate a lodge like Copperhead and saw this as an opportunity of a lifetime. Evans, a hospitality executive and Cassulo, a building contractor, feel they can utilize their experience to make the lodge even better than before.
Built in 2006, the lodge features 11 unique cabins accommodating up to 4 adults. The cabins have full kitchens, luxury linens, satellite TV, comfortable bathrooms, and motorcycle garage parking. The 40-acre resort also features a 12,500 square foot lodge with 11 guest suites for daily or weekly rental.
No lodge would be complete without great food. Evans and Cassulo hired experienced lodge and restaurant chef Joel Colon to create “comfort food with attitude” for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Guests can enjoy their meals in the Grand Hall or on the lodge’s sweeping veranda.
Evans and Cassulo also plan to add live entertainment, concerts, movies, special events, and Holiday themed events to the natural beauty the lodge offers. Bikers can also soak their aching bones in the lodge’s pool or hot tub.
Located 80 miles north of Atlanta, GA, the best feature of the lodge is its scenic beauty. Experienced and rookie bikers will appreciate the motorcycle trails along The Dragon’s Tail, Cherohala Skyway and Blue Ridge Parkway nestled in the southern Appalachian Mountains.
Local and visiting bikers will love this resort as a mid-trip stop for sundries and motorcycle parts or as a final destination.
