There are plenty of hiking trails in any direction of the property including famous Appalachian Trail. In fact its South Terminus is not far from here and if you hop on it in spring and hike for 2,000 miles, you will end up in Main in fall:)
There is abundance of wineries, each of which has its own unique style and wine.
There is an enchanting Alpine Village, town of Helen, that attracted me in the first place.
There is something to do for everyone. Nearby Unicoi State park offers activities and swimming in the lake and playground for families with small children.
River tubing is a great family activity to enjoy during the summer.
