A quaint town of 650 people nestled in the Chattahoochee National Forest, Blairsville is an idyllic spot with historic brick buildings and tumbling waterfalls. The town is perhaps best known for its proximity to Brasstown Bald, Georgia's tallest mountain, as well as the southernmost tip of the Appalachian Trail. But there's plenty more in this charming Southern town to recommend it, as a stay in one of our Blairsville vacation rentals will quickly reveal.
