Santa Train - Scenic Railway in Blue Ridge, GA

The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway has only 5 more "Santa Train" trips scheduled this year. (12/18 - 12/21)

If you are visiting the area with the grandchildren, don't miss out on this. (This trip is set up for young children, so there is no layover in McCaysville.)

On board, your family will hear Christmas stories, sing Christmas carols with elves, and visit with the North Pole’s jolliest elf himself during the ride.

This is so much fun with the little ones. Bring your cookies and hot chocolate and DON'T FORGET YOUR CAMERA!


Before the trip you can meet Mrs Clause on the deck at the depot for photo opportunities.

You can purchase tickets at www.brscenic.com/tickets or 877-413-TRAIN (8724)

We no longer own First Class Cabin Rentals

As we are still getting questions about the recent changes in our lives I am writing an open letter to all of the friends and customers who have so graciously supported us, and our business, over the last 7 years.


We thought that by now everyone would have heard (or we would have had the opportunity to speak with you personally) about the fact that we have sold our vacation cabin rental business here in Blue Ridge.

After 7 years, and with Dan's mom being in ill health, we made the decision as a family that we needed to set the goal of moving closer to family (TX & KS) as soon as possible. So, we sold our business in July.

Because we also have a commercial building to sell (East First Street - where our home and office were co-located) we knew that it would not be an immediate move so Dan took a job in Atlanta in the interim and I went back to selling real estate fulltime.

Unfortunately Dan's mom passed away in October so, while our goal remains to move toward getting closer to family, the originally urgency we felt is no longer there so we will likely be in Blue Ridge for the foreseeable future.

We would like to thank our customers for their business and hope that your loyalty to First Class Cabin Rentals will continue, our homeowners and staff members who have worked as our partners for the last 7 years and other local business owners who have supported us and our company through guest and homeowner referrals!

Warmest regards,

Dan, Gayle and Nicholas Barton
