Top Tips for Ellijay Vacationers

One of the most important parts of planning a vacation is choosing a place to stay. In fact, the accommodation is often as important as the destination itself. And while hotels are standard choices, they sometimes leave travelers wanting more.
In Ellijay, a town known for its beautiful scenery, excellent dining, vibrant shopping, and abundance of outdoor activities, cabin rentals are more popular than ever. Visitors looking for outdoor fun can rent a cabin close to the Chattahoochee National Forest, while those are more interested in exploring the area’s restaurants and shops can select a cabin to closer downtown.

Research the Area
Most visitors, especially the ones with only a week or less of vacation time, find it helpful to narrow their itineraries. The PickEllijay.com website is a great place to find out about upcoming events in Ellijay and the surrounding area.
Pack Comfortable Shoes
Hiking, shopping, and wine tasting require a lot of walking!
Don’t Forget The Insect Repellent
Warm-weather vacationers often encounter ticks, chiggers, and other insects, especially if their cabin is in the woods.
Bring An Appetite
Ellijay has dozens of great restaurants, ranging from brew pubs and bistros to fine dining establishments.
Think About Transportation
Vacationers will need a car to get around, especially if the cabin is in a secluded area. Although services such as Uber and Lyft operate in Ellijay, those services are limited.
