Visitor's Guide

Just Beyond the Gate

Ellijay: The Apple Capital
of Georgia

Coosawattee sits just minutes from one of North Georgia's most beloved small towns. Ellijay is the kind of place where you wander into a bakery and end up staying two hours — pulled in by warm apple cider, good conversation, and the particular feeling that you're exactly where you're supposed to be.

Explore the historic downtown, visit the apple orchards that blanket the hills in October, indulge in farm-to-table dining, browse local artisan shops, or simply sit on a porch and watch the mountains turn color. Blue Ridge, Amicalola Falls, and the Appalachian Trail are all within easy driving distance.

Coosawattee is 90 minutes from Atlanta. The mountains are closer than you think.
