North Georgia’s Mountains

On out first visit to North Georgia, we absolutely fell in love with the beauty and nature of the mountains.  There is something for everyone. 

You can enjoy the splendor and exhilaration of a day hiking to nearby waterfalls, or horseback riding at sunset across a mountain ridge.  Do you crave tranquility?   Try spending the day watching the sun glimmer across the cobalt blue waters of Lake Blue Ridge or crystal clear Toccoa River, in Fannin County.  Or take a nap in the fresh, clear mountain air lulled by the hypnotic sound of a nearby trout stream.   Perhaps, a ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, spending the day exploring our mountain art and culture, past and present, in the many galleries across the region or browse for antiques in the shops that line our mountain towns.

South of Blue Ridge is the little town of Ellijay in Gilmer County, Georgia's Apple Capital.  It produces over 600,000 bushels of apples each year. Be sure to check out the Georgia Apple Festival, held the second and third weekends of each October.  

Nestled in the foothills of the vast Chattahoochee National Forest in the Appalachian Mountain Range, the area is abundant in natural beauty, from forests, rivers, lakes, and streams.  Carter’s lake and the Coosawattee River offer anglers the perfect setting to catch “the big one”.   

With the many waterfalls, forests, lakes and streams North Georgia’s mountain area offers the ideal setting to getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life – for a weekend or a lifetime.  Whether you are looking for that a weekender cabin or the home in the country you have always dreamed, Katrina will be happy to help you turn your dreams into reality.  Contact her today.
