Vacations in North Georgia

The North Georgia Mountains are home to 3 very popular towns. Ellijay which is the apple capital of Georgia, is a popular spot for travelers and tourist that enjoy the outdoors, antique shopping, and winding down from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Because Ellijay is only an hour from Atlanta Georgia you find traffic peaks on the weekends when people from Atlanta visit to get away from it all. Cabin Rental is big business in the North Georgia Mountains. Because of the fierce competition a weekend stay in a fully furnished, 2 or 3 bedroom vacation cabin rental, with kitchen, jacuzzi, WiFi and cable can be found for as low as $100 per night.

Blue Ridge Ga. is about a half an hour north of Ellijay Georgia but they still get their fair share of Atlanta guests. As a matter of fact a lot of vacation home owners in Blue Ridge live and work in the suburbs of Atlanta Georgia. The most common visitor to Blue Ridge Ga. for cabin rentals are Floridians. There is also a large base of transplants from Florida to Blue Ridge and other North Georgia areas. Many Floridians have traveled to the Blue Ridge area on vacation and enjoy it so much they decide to make it their home once they retire.

For those that want to be pampered rather than roughing it in a cabin in the middle of the woods you can choose from a number of North Georgia area bed and breakfasts or mountain lodges. Wake up to coffee and breakfast, have dinner served and don't clean the kitchen, aah, now that's relaxing.

Chatsworth is overwhelming with the natural beauty of the North Georgia Mountains. You can visit Fort Mountain State Park for a great day of hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, or a picnic. Take a scenic drive over Fort Mountain stopping at the scenic overlook to take in the breathtaking views of the mountains. While you are there, cross the street and get a cold drink from Coyote Redds general store. It's the only store on Highway 52 for a number of miles. Stay in the area in one of the many North Georgia cabin rentals. Just being here for a short time will lessen the stress of anyone's busy life.
