Weekend vacations near Atlanta, GA?

Question

I'm looking for a place to get away that is only four to five hours from Atlanta. I'ts only going to be a three to four day weekend trip, but I just need to get away. No kids involved, just two early twenty year old friends getting away. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

Here are a few ideas:

1. Savannah Ga. and/or Charleston, SC
2. St. Augustine, FL.
3. Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, TN & Cherokee NC
4. Helen, Ga. and/or somewhere on Lake Burton in Rabun co.
5. Dahlonega, Ga., Brasstown bald mtn,. Ellijay, Hiawassee, The Foxfire Museum
6. Asheville NC, a little of the Blue Ridge parkway, and Boone, NC

Answer 2

I like Chattanooga and Rock City, Ruby Falls. There is a nice KOA campground nearby if you like that.
Helen, GA is a cute little tourist trap at the top of the Hooch.

Even Savannah is within 4 hours. Depends on what floats your boat. Lots of great outdoor stuff all around.

My wife and I enjoyed the Chickamauga battlefield area, and much of the War of Northern Aggression took place in this area. Worth exploring if you like history.
