Tallulah Gorge

The Tallulah Gorge is one of our personal favorites for hiking and enjoying nature. The gorge is very rugged and reminds us of places in Colorado. Guests at Cedar House Inn visit the gorge often and come back with very favorable comments.

Folk Pottery Museum of Northeast Georgia-Copyright 2008

An informative video about the North Georgia Folk Pottery Museum in Sautee. Many of our guests love to visit the museum since it is not too far from the inn.
