North 40 Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy bed, clean , quiet , beautiful area. Will be back."

Kingwood Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing and MICHEL WAS HELPFUL EVERYDAY!! ANDREA GAVE US A GREAT WALKING IN AS IF WE WERE FAMILY. SHE TOOK TIME TO GIVE US A LIST OF PLACES I JUST TO GO AND SEE"

Outpost Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely wonderful stay! Such a vibe! Friendly and helpful staff. This quaint mountain retreat is full of thoughtful details that make it feel cozy, almost like home. You can get wine in the lobby or bring your own. They even thought to include a wine opener in your room. Having a fireplace right in our room, an amazing showerhead, K-cup coffee, snacks, drinks, and a TV made it tempting never to leave. The light breakfast available each morning and the cozy lobby hangout added to the welcoming atmosphere. But the outdoor fireplaces, cozy seating areas, and even a fireside movie under the stars made the experience even more memorable. The town was super cute too and we loved having dinner and drinks at their sister property, HmH. We loved every minute and can’t wait to come back!"

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"Didn't use any of the amenities. We were just looking for a place to spend the night. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable."

Mountain Valley Inn Dillard

8/10 Good

"Place had 8.2 star which was a little high in my opinion for the type of place. There was a lot of “junk” around the front office that appeared renovations maybe were being done. The room was clean but definitely could use updating. Had to turn heater on and the smell was horrible. Could hear everything going on upstairs most of the night. There was a lot of young people hanging around outside a good bit of the evening. The staff was very pleasant checking in. Not sure I would stay there again though."

Clarion Pointe-Dillard near Blue Ridge Mountains

10/10 Excellent

"This is my favorite hotel to take my family when visiting the north Georgia mountains. The facilities are comfortable and clean, and staff are exceptional and very friendly!"

Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night as we were traveling through. It’s a beautiful historic home inside and out. The staff was very helpful. We didn’t go to breakfast as we stayed in and rested, but I’m sure it was good. Will stay again when we are in the area."

Trailborn Highlands, Outdoor Collection by Marriott Bonvoy
