Make a splash in your own spa quality saline pool ...

 
Envision yourself basking in the warm sun, sipping lemonade on your own deck chair, gazing up at the massive mountains of the Chattahoochee National Forest, all while keeping watch over your kids as they play a game of “Marco-polo” in your very own Olympic-sized, R-shaped swimming pool.

As an owner at R-Ranch in the Mountains Resort, this is a daily activity during the summer months.  Approximately 45 cozy deck chairs line the uniquely shaped pool with a tiered finish on the rounded area leading up to a small grassy corner perfect for a leisurely nap in the sun.  Each of these chairs boast views that rival most views found anywhere on property.

The magnificent architecture of this lodge/pool area is worthy of its own stares as well.  Massive in design, telephone poles with wrought iron poles act as fencing while the singular poles to the side offer visual interest to the primarily horizontal building.  The pool area is drawn into this apex of vertical and horizontal, as its gentle slopes and curving ripples provide contrast to the otherwise clean lines.

Pool activities are abundant in these summer months with our full-time activities director.  From Marco-Polo to water volleyball, there is always something going on in this blue oasis.  However, if you really want to relax, there is nothing like the R-Ranch pool at night.  It’s just you, the cool water, and the distant presence of those gigantic mountains.

Directly adjacent to the pool area is a small sitting area with beautiful white benches, stone pathways, and an amazing view of the rolling hills of the Rainbow Lake area.  Crape Myrtles and Japanese Maples line the sides of this small respite offering shade and privacy from the sun and other pool goers.
