Cherry Log

The community of Cherry Log lies just north of Ellijay along Hwy. 76, the Georgia Mountain Parkway. Rural landscapes make it a perfect location for escaping to a North Georgia mountain vacation — especially one spent in a rustic mountain cabin. Cabin rentals abound, and you'll find the one perfect for a family vacation, romantic getaway or peaceful solo retreat. Amenities include fireplaces, hot tubs, creek access, pet-friendly, game rooms and more. One thing they all have: Excellent mountain views.

Be sure to experience The Pink Pig, a favorite among locals and visitors alike for its pit-cooked barbecue, fried chicken, burgers, celebrated iced tea and more. 

For those looking for an outdoor trek, hike the Benton MacKaye Trail a half mile to Fall Branch Falls. The easy trail, with a mild incline, leads to a stunning, mossy cascade where you can wade in the creek to cool off. For more adventure, connect with a horseback-riding, ATV outfitter, ATV, fly-fishing or mountain-bike outfitter.
