If you are looking for a fun place for a family vacation this year, give Big Canoe Georgia a try.  Located an hour north of Atlanta, and just at the southern tip of the Appalachian Mountains, Big Canoe is the perfect vacation spot. 

Tons of vacation rental homes are availalble, ranging from small condos to luxury digs. All homes feature amazing mountain views and there is tons of things to do.  Big Canoe Georgia has some of the most amazing hiking trails and waterfalls right in its community. It also has an amazing swimming pool, a sliding rock, fishing lakes, restaurants, a spa, shopping, and much more. 

If you venture out of the Big Canoe area, you'll find lots of other exciting things to do including whitewater rafting, tubing, driving along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and much more. 

If music is your thing, you'll find plenty of bluegrass and country music in the Appalachian Mountains. 

I've been vacationing in the Smoky Mountains since I was just a small child, and it's the most amazing place in the world.  The scenery is majestic, the people friendly, and there is tons of things to do - many of them really economical.  

Seriously consider heading to Big Canoe Georgia for your next family vacation.  You'll enjoy all that the mountains have to offer and you might even find yourself our clogging or square dancing!
