🌅 1. See the Sunset View from the front deck
It’s a truly magical experience to watch the sunset over the mountain peeks from the comfort of your very own Home Away Chalet. Grab your loved ones and enjoy!
💎2. Mine for gems
Take a blast to Blue Ridge’s past. Miners colonized the area in the 1800’s in search of its deposits of feldspar, mica and quartz-basic materials which are used in products we use everyday, including ceramics, paint and electronics. Gemstones and gold continue to be mined by amateurs throughout the region. You and your family can be miners for the day at Huck’s Lost Mine. It is such a fun stop on the way to Blue Ridge, Georgia. The buckets are full of great gems, fossils and other great stuff! The staff is wonderful and so knowledgeable about your findings. The gem selection is fantastic and a must do! Great family fun with excellent pricing. Something for everyone.
🚴 3. Bike Through Bear Creek Pinhoti Trail
Drive up FS road until the start of Bear Creek Trail (Pinhoti 1). Just about 2 miles long, the Bear creek loop is an extremely beautiful scenery. You’ll also cross over a few creeks (be prepared to get wet).
The downhill is super fun, with creeks and good speed, I would call it "intermediate" in terms of technical difficulty and easy in terms of "strength".
Uphill is more challenging. I would consider it "intermediate".
🛤 4. Join a railbike tour
Visit the Freedom Rail for a one of a kind tour. Start an exciting journey through Blue Ridge, Ga. aboard the Freedom Railbikes. Leave the depot in historic downtown Blue Ridge and begin a 5 ½ mile round-trip adventure by creeks, ponds, vineyards, gorgeous mountain homes and cabins and a covered bridge through tall Georgia pines. Halfway through your trip, you’ll stop to take in the scenic views and rest before returning to your journey. Keep your eyes and camera ready for wildlife during this incredibly scenic hour and half adventure. Riders should be 4 and up, able to reach the pedals and pedal for an extended time.

🥾 6. Take a hike
Tumbling Water Trail is off the beaten path. Gorgeous nature, pristine river and rock waterfalls. This trail is 1/2 a mile to get to the bridge/overlook/falls from the parking area. I would consider this an easy to moderate hike. There are some tree roots and rocks to watch out for, but great for kids.
There are several trails to hike within the Walnut Mountain community if you are wanting to stay within the gates.
💦 7. Chase waterfalls
Take the whole family! Start in nearby Amicalola Falls State Park to enjoy its namesake 729-foot waterfall! It’s a breathtaking sight. You can either hike from the base to the top of the drop or take a drive for a panoramic view.
Lots of photo opportunities. The hike is steep but doable even for children. The trail is not really stroller or wheelchair friendly though it does have blacktop. The guest center has live snakes and turtles that kids would love to see. Parking costs $5 per vehicle.
For extra adventure you can join their zip lining tour.
🎣 8. Go fishin’
The community of Walnut Mountain has four lakes to catch and release fish.
🍺 9. Grab a beer at the River Street Tavern
Good food, good beer, good service. They feature some of the finest and most popular Georgia Beer & Wine straight from local breweries and vineyards!
🚤 10. Rent a pontoon
Adventurers looking for a view can't miss Carter's Lake where 62 miles of shoreline are free from private docks and development. Rent a pontoon boat for the afternoon or cast a line into the clear waters at the deepest reservoir lake in Georgia.
⚠️ If you bring more guests than are reflected on your reservation you will be asked to leave without a refund.
Guest access
You will have access to the entire home as well as the detached game room during your stay.
