Stay & Play in Ellijay, Georgia
You’ve picked the right place. Just 90 minutes north of Atlanta, Gilmer County is best known as Georgia’s Apple Capital for our century-spanning apple production and the iconic Georgia Apple Festival. Outdoor enthusiasts know us as the Mountain Bike Capital of Georgia, and in recent years we’ve also gained recognition as Ellijay Wine Country.
Whether you trek our scenic trails, float or fish our beautiful lakes and rivers, or explore one of our area’s agritourism businesses, Ellijay is full of well-loved icons and hidden gems. Tumbling Waters Trail winds along the shores of Carters Lake with views of cascading water, and family-owned farms like Cress Creeks Farm offer hands-on experiences for all ages, from hayrides and feeding animals to holding baby lambs and enjoying the beauty of the countryside. No matter which adventure you choose, exploring Ellijay’s outdoors is always unforgettable.
After a day of adventure, settle in and relax. From luxurious mountain cabins to memorable farm stays, you’ll find the perfect place to unwind and make the most of your getaway. Unplug and enjoy a slower pace—where coffee tastes better while watching the sun rise over the Blue Ridge Mountains, and apples taste sweeter when picked straight from an heirloom orchard.
