The Surprising Georgia Town That Makes An Excellent Weekend Getaway
For some Georgia residents looking for a quick getaway, the preference is to really splurge on a vacation of choice. They’ve saved up all year, worked their tails off, so why not live in the lap of luxury for a little while? However, there are other Georgians who prefer to spend a weekend away living the quiet life, disconnecting from it all. For the latter of the group, we have one surprising small town to consider for your next weekend away in Georgia. Nicknamed “The Valley Above The Clouds” here is why Suches, Georgia is a must-visit town.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

Suches, Georgia is a small unincorporated community in the mountains of North Georgia that is brimming with relaxation and natural beauty.
Suches is a surprisingly unique place about two hours north of Atlanta, which with the 3000-feet altitude change brings cleaner air and a drop in temperature compared to the capital city.
Spending the weekend in Suches probably won’t allow for luxury hotel accommodations, however, guests can camp in the mountains at High Valley Log Cabins.
