Our family settled in Blairsville for a vacation spot as we found it offered the perfect combination of natural beauty, a quaint 'undiscovered' feel to the town, and yet plenty of entertainment and conveniences within a short drive. You will love the low traffic lake with mountains breaking a beautiful backdrop and we have a pontoon boat available for rental. Short drives bring you to local, state and national parks which offer waterfalls, picnicking, putt-putt, paddle boats, beaches, camping, hiking, educational centers, and more. For the more adventurous, try an Olympic white water rafting trip or a historic train ride. Our family favorite restaurants include a pizza place with a game room, a finger licking good BBQ place and a seafood bar on the lake. You may want to spend a quiet day in Helen, GA or Murphy, NC. Finally, each season has its own specialty such as the Tour de Georgia Bike Race, the North GA Fair, the breathtaking fall colors, and the Sourgum Festival.
