OrchardsWith an ambience that appeals to everyone, apple orchards abound in the North Georgia Mountains. Between the three orchards in the Blue Ridge and Ellijay area, there are plenty of opportunities for tasting fresh pies, shopping home goods, enjoying the U-Pick season, and try some fresh apple cider and/or Georgia wine. Pro tip: pair some of Mercier Orchard's fried apple pies (microwaved for 5-10 seconds) with vanilla ice cream! With every holiday comes new and exciting activities for both kids and adults alike! Experience one of Blue Ridge's tastiest excursions any season you visit! |  The Memories We were two families evacuating from Florida during Hurricane Milton.

The owners were incredibly responsive and gracious to take us in at the last minute and accommodate our needs. The property itself was in a lovely area close to Mercier Orchards, McCaysville, and up above the Toccoa River. The access to the river was absolutely incredible and made our stay that much more enjoyable. The house is well lived-in and provided the space and amenities we needed for our week-long stay. Gary and Lissa – What a wonderful experience! First of all, we were all impressed with HOW CLEAN everything was! The fact that everything is supplied for you is awesome, but then, once you get into bed…THAT took the cake! No pictures online could describe how... Gary and Lissa – What a wonderful experience! First of all, we were all impressed with HOW CLEAN everything was! The fact that everything is supplied for you is awesome, but then, once you get into bed…THAT took the cake! No pictures online could describe how beautiful and peaceful this home is. I was here with four of my closest couple friends and it’s like this place brought us closer together! My friends and I will surely be back and for those who come after us – we leave nothing but positive vibes. Thank you, Gary, for having such a wonderful getaway. We will never forget this time. |
