Always check if a restaurant is open before you go
Most restaurants in North Georgia have very limited hours so make sure that you call ahead to confirm that they are open

There are hiking trails all over our area.
We have some books in the cabin that will help you find some trails but Google is a great help also.

Lots of Waterfalls to see
I only listed a couple of waterfalls that are very close to our cabin but there are literally hundreds of waterfalls in our area. Some are in the books in the cabin but Google will help you too.
