Several b&b's were already full, so we decided on an untraditional lodging at one b&b called a "yurt". They are semi-permanent structures, canvas walls, wood floor, with a/c and electricity... quite charming and fun for a change. And the hosts at the Inn were delightful. A picture of our "Yurt":
We filled our days with lounging, hiking, eating, tooling around antique stores, etc. It was wonderful. There are some great waterfalls in the area. Here are two we picked to check out on Friday and Saturday. The first was our Friday hike to Dick's Creek Falls. It was great because we were able to walk a long way in the creek and wade around in the water... loved it! The second was our Saturday hike to Cane Creek Falls in Camp Glisson. There was an enticing path on the otherside, so we decided to go for it... an hour later we were caught in a torential downpour on the otherside of camp without cover... it is a hilarious memory, both of us running down the road in the thunderstorm. I loved every minute.
and lastly, our favorite music venue and restaurant in Dahlonega is "The Crimson Moon". It is a really old house on the historic square with balconies overlooking the streets. We sat on the second story porch and took in all the sites and sounds of this lazy little town while the music drifted up from downstairs... i would highly recommend this place - and i really wanted to hug the chef because our meal was SO incredible!
Here is our view from our table:

We've been there! It's right at the start of the Appalachian Trail and we have fond memories of going there the weekend of our departure and having ice cream and food and walking around with family, knowing it would be a while before we saw them again. Isn't small town America wonderful?
where do you use the bathroom when you stay in a yurt? :)
great question Ru... our own personal bathhouse up the hill... it was quite hilarious, but nice. we had the option of a "composting toilet" as well, but you know what i thought of that idea. We're just not quite that in touch with nature.
T- glad you've been there! It is just so charming... and not in the cheesy way Helen and some places are... we loved it :)
