A Gilmer County Bed & Breakfast in the Wonderful State of Georgia

Bed and Breakfast Inn Description

Located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia.
A Mountain Bed and Breakfast with Rustic Elegance.
Straddling Fort Mountain and commanding a breathtaking view of the Chattahoochee National Forest and the Blue Ridge Mountains, the new (opened in the Fall of 2002), was designed and situated to take full advantage of its magnificent surroundings. Its rustic exterior blends into the environment, yet conceals elegant lodge accommodations.

The history of this unspoiled area is as hazy as its blue peaks at nightfall, especially the origin of the "fort" in Fort Mountain. A Cherokee shaman in the county relates the legend of the stone forts constructed by a race of the "Moon Eyes" - a people with blue or light eyes, which eyes could pierce the darkness. A different version tells of a mysterious Welsh Prince Mardoc who came up from the south and constructed the fort as protection against the Native Americans. A third theory attributes the fortification to the conquistador, Hernando DeSoto. Today's residents regularly uncover arrowheads and Indian artifacts.
