Ready to bite the bullet & finally plan that Georgia Mountains trip?
Yep, we're North Georgia Mountains and Blue Ridge Mountains gurus as we've visited SO many of these quaint towns in N GA multiple times. Our oldest attended college in Dahlonega where he met his forever bride, who is a native. So... we know the BEST and not-as-best places to visit in Georgia.
I'm tickled to share this Northeast corner of Georgia with you, known as Rabun County, Georgia. It's stunning, but laid back and not touristy!!

We ADORE the North Georgia Mountains. Ask me all the questions here in the comments so I can help you FINALLY plan that mountain getaway with your people!
I like water falll
ty!
Rabun County is where "Deliverance" was filmed. As of a few years ago, the guy who played Banjo Boy was working at the Wal Mart in Clayton.
Thank you, very informative video
Glad it was helpful!
N Ga native here, and I loved your video. Trick for Dillard House, ask for the ham and desserts. They don't bring them automatically you have to ask. =) Thanks for showing how great our N Ga is.
Awe. This comment made my week. Coming from a native that means a lot & will remember that tip! North Georgia has a special place in my heart.
Nice video, I spent many vacations in the highlands, NC area. Great place to see and explore. I explore the north Georgia mountain for abandoned mines. Thanks for sharing your video.
That's super cool! I'll have to check out your channel. We love learning about the quirky spots in the south!
✌️✌️✌️✌️Nice VLOG! Thank you for sharing!Hi from Travelly
Travelly World my pleasure. Thank you!!
I visited North Georgia for the first time in October 2020 & it was beautiful... felt like I didn't get around to 1/10 of the things to see & do. Am returning this year for a week long stay in a cabin. Loved this video! Thanks for the insider tips.
planning trip for summer which cabin you suggest renting from
@@NayT0411 I recommend figuring out where you want to go for day trips & activities & then choose a home base that is midway between.
For me, I like scenic drives, hiking, and a little bit of window shopping, so I based in Blairsville (between Blue Ridge and Helen) & did a lot of exploring. FYI, I had good luck using VRBO, filtering for Premier Partners and 4 star reviews.
Resaca georgia and jhons mountain wildlife reservation,birds,deers,wilsturkeys,river with bass,trout is very nice place for take vacation,full trees become differents colors amazin...
Will look this up. Thank you!
Great tips! Saved many of your recommendations for a future trip!
That makes my day! Let me know when you go!
Great video! I’m trying to plan a trip from Florida so this was very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks! Glad you have you around!
We don’t live too far from Florida here in Georgia. If you’re like us, you’ll enjoy to change in elevation and awe of the mountains. Let me k ow if I can help by answering any questions you have.
We love the Georgia Mountains and have been exploring them alot recently. Great video!
Yes, That region is amazing. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks so much for visiting. What's your favorite Georgia Mountains location or venue so far?
i know Im randomly asking but does any of you know a trick to get back into an Instagram account??
I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Adriel Marley instablaster ;)
@Tatum Cairo i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Tatum Cairo It worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much you saved my account :D
Add High Shoal Falls hike and waterfall swim and a day of boating on Chatuge Lake and a day of river tubing in Helen for more fun! Also, check out the views from Bell Mountain.
Have heard of Chatuge Lake & have done the Helen tubing but High Shoal Falls & Bell Mountain are new ideas. Thanks so much for the tips!! So curious, are you a tourist there or a local? Thanks again.
shan
@@SouthernTravelGuru We vacation there every year. This time I found high shoal falls and we tried boating on Chatuge and it was great. The views from Bell Mountain were unbelievable. We also took a swim at Lake Burton, another beautiful lake.
Wonderful. Thank you so much for all the info & taking the time to add to the conversation!

We will be staying in Clayton 1st of June thanks for idea
Wonderful. We would love to return. Loved it so much.
great video! in the area go to Tate city road follows a mountain trout stream - great views.
Thanks for the tip!
Great video! Very informative, may I have, if available the details on the horseback ride, beautiful.
Certainly! Our horseback ride was through the Dillard House Stables at DillardHouseStables.com
The drugstore on the main street in Clayton is quaint. It's in an old car dealership building. It has an old-time diner inside.
Just make sure you don't speed while ur going thru there. lol
@@sgt.pepper4274 Well, you have to slow down to get into the Chick-Fil-A anyhow. :-)
@@randyjordan5521 ...true, and I've eaten there.
Wow what a fantastic trip and excellent footage. 😊😊I recently hiked Amicolola falls and want to hike Tallulah Falls in two weeks. This video is very helpful. Is Clayton GA near Tallulah...could these two places be visited in one day? I really want to visit all these places lol.
Thank you! That makes my day. We've spent a lot of time near & at Amicalola Falls - beautiful. Tallulah Falls is gorgeous. You probably already have, but I'd check out Tallulah Gorge State Park site about details & rules of hiking or call them at 706-754-7981. There's a limit on capacity in general and a 100 permit per day to hike to gorge floor so I'd chat with someone ahead of time to make sure you have the best experience. Yes, Clayton and Tallulah are technically about 15- 20 miles apart. Clayton is adorable and such good food. I'd lodge near Clayton or at Black Rock Mountain State Park (another BEAUTIFUL place!) if possible.
@@SouthernTravelGuru thank you so much for responding to my comment. Ok. I'll check with the park. I heard about the 100 limit on permits but wasn't aware of their overall capacity limits. Thank you for lodging recommendations as well. I was taking a shot in the dark with Google. 😆 Thank you so much!
no problem at all! Here to help. :)
@@SouthernTravelGuru it’s me again. Lol. I did the Tallulah Falls hike this past weekend. It was AMAZING!!! I’d definitely do it again!!!! Afterwards I ate at Fortify Pie. 😊 Clayton is such a cute town. I was glad I got there early to grab one of the limited parking spaces out front. Again your video was such a good travel guide. I keep coming back here so I can plan for the other sites. ❤😁😁
Yay! This comment makes my MONTH! It thrills me that you loved Tallulah Falls & Clayton. Thanks for taking the time to comment and add to the conversation - so helpful. Yes mam, much more coming!!

We would like to do this rout and trip, where would you recommend my wife and I stay for a four day trip?
Would love to help. 😀If you click on the link in the description titled "full details & info" it will take you to my blog post, a written itinerary about this road trip and there you'll find a link to the cabin we stayed in. There's also a video about our cabin right before this video. You can also copy & paste the link in your browser --- thehowtoguru.org/things-to-do-in-north-georgia We loved our cabin because it was amazing, but also centrally located between Tallulah Falls, Georgia & Sky Valley (which is a 25-mile stretch). There isn't much to do within the areas below Clayton, so I would definitely stay near Clayton or above. We'd love to return and stay at a Black Mountain State Park cabin as well because it's so beautiful there. Email me if you'd like at shan@thehowtoguru.org & I can give you more details about lodging choices depending on your luxury level :) This area is gorgeous and so fun! -shan
@@SouthernTravelGuru thanks much and I do appreciate you returning a reply to my question because I can imagine that you get a lot of them ,and if you are like most people with family life is fast paced and busy so I always let folks know that they are appreciated when they take valuable personal time to respond.
@@defendfreedom777 Of course. I get so much joy helping ppl find their perfect southern vacation spot & activities. I’m here to help. Shoot me an email if I can help further. I really don’t mind. 💙
@@SouthernTravelGuru my wife is from Arkansas and I am from the San Juan mountains of Southwest Colorado,we live in north Alabama, neither one of us will ever leave to go back to those places until God calls us home,we absolutely love the people of Georgia Alabama Tennessee and Mississippi,we might be Yankee by birth but we are southern I'm our hearts !I am retired military and she is a mental health counselor who gets to be out and about with folks on a daily basis and has picked up that southern drawl.if we have any questions we will definitely shoot you an email friend.
@@defendfreedom777 It does my heart good to know that the south has treated y'all well. Of course, there are always exceptions to rules, but I believe true southerners & the southern landscape are gems to behold - especially in this overly modernized & cold world. I was raised as a military brat & an Army mom - we appreciate your service & wish you well, friends. 😀
Hi there, we love your video from North Georgia and would like to feature a few seconds of it (with credit) to promote travel in Georgia. Your perspective is so fun! If interested, you can grant us permission through the “collector” link in our bio. Hope to hear from you soon!
Would love to see a past example of this! Can you give me a link to check it out?
Why he messing w it
I don't have any sound
Try again!
Nice video except for the mask wearing.
yeah, this was filmed in late 2020. I'm so thankful it's no longer mandatory in most places.
