Neighbor is thinking of purchasing a small cabin in the mountain area of Helen Ga. I've been there myself and it is a nice area.
Anyone here know the area well enough in order for me to pass along to him?
He wants to limit the drive to around 6 hours or so to get there, so long weekend trips are feasible.
Prices look reasonable with an online search, but a physical look is necessary.
Thanks in advance.
If you start hearing banjo music, run.
I've never been there but my mom and stepdad go a couple of times a year and they love it. I think the only reason they don't live there is their house is paid for and don't want another mortgage in retirement. I'd love to go some time.
I love Helen. Been there many times.
Unicoi state park is nearby and nice
The German restaurants are fantastic. The town is a bit gimmicky but, it's fun to visit. Especially for Oktoberfest and around Christmas.

Naw man gotta walk to the banjo music, I love the banjo!

Pack your Preparation H then.

We've been up there for Octoberfest twice. Very cool area, but not much around there. Moving up there is something I'd actually consider assuming I ever get to retire.
Might want to look into the tax burden up there.
A little further north in Tennessee would be best tax-wise, or stay in FL.
Which sucks because I found the part of GA I want to move to but, I don't want to pay state income taxes.
