What travellers are saying
- Caden K2 contributionsThe graffiti on the mountain is worth seeing! Reading things like "Sus" or"Eat my dick" truly inspires a sense of awe, making you appreciate life.Written 3 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Laureen EIrwin, PA27 contributionsThis was one of the most beautiful parks we’ve ever been too. Did the high shoals loop which is marked as strenuous and it was, but not too much that we couldn’t complete. We are I. Our mid 50’s with our 16year old. The view at the top is worth each step. The way down is long but not too difficult.Written 8 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- R w8 contributionsAbsolutely gorgeous. A must see from April 22nd to May 22nd. The rhododendrons are the most beautiful. The lovely trails are lined with colors. Pinks. Reds. Whites. Purples. Everything is well kept. There is a spot one can purchase rhododendron trees. Other trees too. Simply amazing. There are benches throughout the gardens. So nice. Plus Azaleas. A great location for everyone.Written 1 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Laurel H1 contributionWe enjoyed a great afternoon at the winery. Tasty "lushies", wine, and mead and a very enjoyable host. Definitely recommend and we will be bacmWritten 15 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- maryellenstevesAtlanta, GA127 contributionsRead reviews of High Shoal Falls, as this is one of the two highlight falls along High Shoal Falls trail. High Schoals is the tall waterfall at the end of the trail with pools to cool your feet, but to me Blue Hole Falls is the winner.
Swim the clear, cold spring water. Jump off the top of the waterfall. Bring your lunch and enjoy the sun as it briefly peaks over the trees. There are parts you can stand and other deeper parts of the swimming hole.
Bring your water shoes, towel and lunch. You will. It regret it.Written 10 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - TheresaPRWarner Robins, GA160 contributionsCold beer, great music, and a water view. Absolutely wonderful way to end our weekend stay. Outstanding hospitality, especially from Michael at the beer station who walked us through all the options. Wonderful chance to unwind, enjoy the cooler temperatures, and just unwind. This is THE place to come if you’re in the area.Written 18 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- chiefjack2018Blairsville, GA78 contributionsStop by a couple of times a month. There are almost always some good deals. Seldom leave the store empty handed.Written 8 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Mulberry, BubbaLakeland, FL192 contributionsAs with the majority of our planned, daily itineraries Hiawassee Mall was a half-day planned trip from our abode in Bear Paw, NC about 42 min. away. As with every one of our trips my Wife and I came away with a little more than a 30" x 30" boxful of Treasures...Yes, Treasures. We're "Antiquers" from the git-go and our purchases there for the past 3 consecutive years have more than proven that Fact. Amazingly, the Owners of the store make a daily, vested interest with their Vendors since we've been consistently impressed with Type of Vendors selling in their Store... Like many Antique stores attempting to claim fame with their antiques (usually junk) Hiawassee Mall has some of the "neatest" varieties of antiques and collectibles we've ever encountered in North Georgia... Kinda a "One-Stop-Shop" scenario you might say... As it makes every visit we make there a Treat to where we're actually Ready to come back the next day IF we had the "Wallet" to do so!
Great Staff! We'll be back next year at least once again for sure!Written 11 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Caitlin JSavannah, GA19 contributionsI love traveling to North Georgia and always find myself in Hiawassee. While eating at a restaurant on Lake Chatuge I noticed a consignment boutique and checked it out. I loved it! It was a beautiful store and I walked out of there with a pair of jeans and 4 blouses. I usually don't have that kind of luck:-) I highly recommend checking this place out!Written 1 November 2016This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

There's a new business there now at Deb's old location. It is a company with other locations, including Asheville, for hiking provisions.Written 22 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - allenappraisalsClyde, NC16 contributionsRented the wake surf boat...... what an AWESOME boat. We all learned to wake surf. Boundary Waters is the ONLY marina for us. They treat you like family. We always enjoy our time there. Thank you for all the perfect instructions Kevin and we love you too Jennifer.Written 6 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Kathy C1 contributionOur first time trying SUP was great! Thanks to Linc and his pal, Rio, for making this a fun adventure. Can’t wait for our next time!Written 5 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Mhtravel62 contributionsUpstairs had more interesting Christmas merchandise. Downstairs felt more like a Hallmark. It is attached to two other stores. It took us about an hour to walk through and see everything.Written 23 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Donna SNatchez, MS39 contributionsFun with a spectacular view! Brian and Meghan were delightful as captain and bartender! He even grilled our burgers for us! The lake is clear and beautiful! The mountain scenery around the lake is awesome! They are very knowledgeable about the lake and area! Would highly recommend !Written 16 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- donf690Columbia, SC46 contributionsWe went to see the Jamey Johnson concert on October 12th. I love his music. However the music hall decided to sell booze during the concert. We had routy drunks sitting all around us standing up, yelling and dancing in the aisles. I happened to be sitting in an aisle seat and became very annoyed at not being able to enjoy the show. One drunk kept bothering my 73 year old disabled wife trying to her to dance with him in the aisle. Where was security and why did they allow this unruly behavior!? I may be old but I'm a big guy. When I stood up and told him to "leave my wife alone" he knew I was deadly serious. I will think twice about going to another one of their concerts.Written 17 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
