City/town information
Blue Ridge, Georgia is easily the coolest mountain town in the Southeast, only 90 miles north of Atlanta via I-575, but a million
miles away from it all. With 106,000 acres of Chattahoochee
National Forest, 300 miles of hiking trails and 100 miles of
trout streams, Blue Ridge is the perfect place to get away
completely. From our mountain home you'll wake up to
cool, quiet mornings on the porch with a cup of coffee.
After a day of fun and adventure, finish the day in the same
place you started, enjoying a glorious mountain sunset.
You may never want to leave the cabin, but don’t miss out
on the fun of exploring the Georgia mountains.
