Comfort Inn & Suites East Ellijay

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay!"

Comfort Inn & Suites Blue Ridge

8/10 Good

"No one is ever at the check in desk, you have to ring the bell to get help.. the drawers in my room would randomly open and wouldn't stay closed. The house keepers also need to pay more attention vacuuming also. I found a wrapper, a dime, and multiple pieces to a rubber band under the bed when making sure I wasn't going to get attacked by bugs. Thankfully no bugs! Also AC in my room and in the gym wasn't the best either."

★Cozy Log Cabin★ Secluded, modern amenities, mins to dwtwn Blueridge. Pets OK!

6/10 Okay

"The cabin was very nice. It was well stocked and the beds were comfortable. The front porch was very dirty. The roads were horrible. The view was beautiful. TV is hard to work. Over all I would recommend this cabin. Sarah responded to my questions in a timely fashion."

Camp VIbes: Private Creek, 4 Acres, Nat'l Forest

10/10 Excellent

"From the very first inquiry, Krista was incredibly helpful and easy to work with. The cabin did not disappoint and offered an amazing sense of detachment from the outside world. As a host, Krista has you covered from everything you might possibly need while away from paper towels in the kitchen, toiletries in the bathroom to flashlights, a cooler, picnic basket, dog collar (just in case you maybe just misplaced it for a few moments) and bowls. Honestly, the only thing you really need to have when you check in is food for the first night. I was NOT an experienced mountain driver so I was NOT going back down the mountain that night! I did not make it down to the stream, but it was not without encouragement from Krista. Instead, she helped me find another hike that I felt more comfortable with. There are plenty of things to do and places to visit within an hour from the cabin, or you can just do nothing at all. Beautiful property to just get away from it all and reset, if that is what you need."

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Walnut Mountain?

While Walnut Mountain is a unique destination, the neighbourhoods of Blue Ridge and Ellijay offer a similar mountain escape experience.

Blue Ridge is a popular mountain town known for its outdoor activities and a charming town centre. It's located just a short drive from Walnut Mountain and provides access to the Chattahoochee National Forest. The main street, East Main Street, is lined with local shops, art galleries, and restaurants. It's a great option for families who enjoy hiking, fishing, and water sports on Lake Blue Ridge.

Ellijay, often called the "Apple Capital of Georgia," offers a more relaxed, agricultural feel. The town centre, particularly around North Main Street, features apple orchards, local craft shops, and eateries. This area is great for couples seeking a peaceful retreat with opportunities for scenic drives and enjoying local produce.

When is the best time to go to Walnut Mountain?

The best time to go to Walnut Mountain is during the spring (April to May) and autumn (September to October) months when the weather is most pleasant for outdoor activities.

Spring in Walnut Mountain sees blooming wildflowers and comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 15°C to 25°C. This period is ideal for hiking the numerous trails, enjoying the scenic mountain views, and exploring the local shops without the intense heat of summer.

Autumn offers cooler temperatures, generally between 10°C and 20°C, and the stunning display of fall foliage. Leaf peeping is a popular activity, and the crisp air makes it great for longer walks, cycling, and visiting the area's orchards and vineyards. This season is particularly appealing for couples looking for a romantic getaway amidst beautiful natural surroundings.

While summer (June to August) can be warm, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, it's still a good time for water-based activities in the nearby lakes and rivers.
