Gilmer County, GA is known for being the Apple Capital of Georgia. It’s one of those quiet counties that is nice to go and enjoy the peacefulness and outdoor recreation. There’s no hustle and bustle, the people are nice (we stop there all the time), and the cabins there are more bang for your buck.
Gilmer County still has mountain ranges much like Fanning, but I feel it’s not as expensive as the Blue Ridge area. You may get more house for your money. There are still 2 rivers in Ellijay for you to whitewater raft on, plenty of fishing available, and the laid back life.
Every mid-October they have a big apple festival which I highly recommend.
