North Georgia's serene beauty is bound to astound visitors. In this part of the Peach State lie the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia, where you'll find Young Harris, a destination near the North Carolina border that offers a cozy getaway with southern charm. Located just over two hours from Atlanta, this small town is surrounded by nature and is home to Young Harris College, established in 1886. Although it was once named a Best National Liberal Arts College, there's more to the Enchanted Valley, as the town is nicknamed, than this private institution.

You'll need a few days to soak it all in, and if you want the true Young Harris experience, stay at Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa. It has all the necessary comforts for a retreat to this rural destination. Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa is a verdant 503-acre haven with bucolic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The scenery can be enjoyed throughout the property and is visible from the lodge and its homey guest rooms (If you prefer, you can also book a cottage or a spa suite). On Tripadvisor, Brasstown Valley Resort & Spa has a 4.3 rating, with many reviewers noting the Southern hospitality of the staff.
