Get back to nature without leaving home's comforts behind when you stay at an Endless Vacation Rentals resort in Georgia. This grand Southern state offers everything an outdoor enthusiast would want in a getaway - great weather, magnificent scenery, unforgettable golf courses, rivers and lakes, and spacious accommodations.

Dillard
Slip on your hiking boots and explore the many trails and spectacular views of the Chattahoochee and Nantahala National Forests using Dillard as your home base. Or grab your clubs and head to a nearby championship course. From here, you're guaranteed to get a workout - and a comfortable night's stay when your day of play is done.

Helen
Water fun is what it's all about in the Blue Ridge Mountains around Helen, whether you're canoeing on the Chattahoochee, fishing on Unicoi Lake or relaxing by the pool at the Alpine Crest/Resort Club. And the town of Helen, a wonderful recreation of an alpine village, is a destination by itself. Many come just to explore the more than 200 specialty shops or to be a part of Oktoberfest and other festivals.

Big Canoe
Just north of big city Atlanta, yet seemingly a world away, sits Big Canoe. Here in this picturesque mountainous setting, vacationers enjoy outdoor pursuits such as golfing, tennis, hiking and boating all within a luxurious resort setting.

Eat...

North Georgia Barbecue (Helen). If it's an authentic German dish you want, you'll find it throughout Helen. But if you'd rather have a heaping helping of pulled pork and ribs, North Georgia Barbecue is the place to be.

Dillard House. You know the vegetables you eat at the Dillard House are fresh, because they're grown on the owner's 600-acre farm. Fried chicken is also a locals' specialty.

Play...

Hike the Tallulah Gorge (Tallulah Falls). Peregrine falcons fly overhead as water streams down granite walls at Tallulah Gorge State Park, once dubbed the "Niagara of the South." Tallulah Lake also offers the opportunity to fish or sunbathe on a white sand beach.

Golf at Big Canoe. The gated community of Big Canoe affords access to trout-filled lakes with water slides, indoor pools, hiking trails and the highly rated Big Canoe Golf Club.

Dance at Oktoberfest (Helen). The citizens in Helen are so serious about this German festival that it lasts a full two months. Head to the Festhalle for beer, food, music and lots of fun.

Explore...

Tube the Chattahoochee (Helen). The water is chilly, the ride exhilarating, the experience always memorable. Several companies provide tubes for a nominal fee, and the entire experience often lasts longer than an hour.

Hike and bike at Unicoi State Park. Walk or ride the scenic trails of this popular state park, just 2 miles from the quaint Alpine village of Helen. The park also plays host to several festivals and events throughout the year.

Shop...

Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen (Helen). David and Janet Jones have been honing their candy-making skills since 1973. Visit one of their two Main Street locations for assorted chocolates and Southern favorites such as pecan pralines.

Merry Christmas Shop (Dillard). Christmas collectibles of all sizes, shapes and budgets can be found at this popular Dillard shop. Find everything from snow villages to Radko ornaments.
