Another Dawsonville classic, especially if you’re a NASCAR Elliott family fan. There’s many other great burger places around town though, including Atlanta’s own The Varsity satellite location.

Our favorite Mexican place. Their Texas fajitas plate easily feeds two. Add a half pitcher of their margaritas and you have a perfect date night. A close second, and within a 5 minute drive, is Señor Fiestas.

Want a nicer date night? We recommend anything here, but their fig and goat cheese flat bread needs a special mention. Reservations recommended just in case.

There are currently 57 wineries in Georgia and you’re twenty minutes from most in GA wine country when you stay at our place, so we’ll give you some of our favorites to help narrow it down. In fall and spring, don’t miss the deals offered with the GA Wine Highway events as well as there is a wine tasting walking tour offered around the Dahlonega square. Cavender is our favorite overall winery because it’s family friendly, got a great outdoor space, and we’ve enjoyed every wine we’ve tried there!

If you have younger ones with you, or want a nice green space for the young at heart, this park, playground and walking path make a nice visit. Highly recommend the Moonshine Festival & car show here every fall. Located right behind the GA Racing Hall of Fame.

If you’re a racing enthusiast or just like to drive go carts at an eye watering 55mph, AMP is a super fun excursion. You can go and just observe the car or go cart track on the deck for a small fee, or you can make a reservation and drive yourself! Highly recommended.

Slightly farther out but the orchards and apple houses in Ellijay are always fun. You can make a huge day of it and visit Cartecay Vineyards (or Brewing Co) while out there and Amicalola and Burt’s on your way back.

Any chance we get, we go walk the square. The selection of shops, restaurants, history, events, nearby wineries, hikes and vistas just can’t be beat! Plus with Art in the Park the 1st Saturday of every month and the Bear on the Square Festival in the Spring and the Gold Rush Festival in the fall, there’s always something new to see.

The 40 minute drive to the Yonah/Cleveland/Helen area is beautiful and ends with many new hiking, eating, shopping and entertainment activities. A few favs - Octoberfest, Water Park & Tubing, Hanzel & Gretels and the alpine slide in Helen (bring money for parking) and The Soda Fountain Cafe in Cleveland.
