Georgia Swimming Hole Named One Of The Best In The Country
Fall in the southeast is one of the best times to explore the outdoors. In fact, in some areas, you can even swim all year. Travel and Leisure recently published the best swimming holes in America, and a Georgia location was named one of the best.
“America’s natural swimming holes range from magnificent waterfalls that form your very own natural waterslide to creeks that provide crystal-clear waters and even geothermal pools that you can dip into when you’re looking for some warmth,” they state.
A swimming hole, by definition, is an area within a river, stream, creek, spring, or similar natural body of water that is large enough (and mostly deep enough) for people to swim. They are often in picturesque locations. Due to their natural formations, many swimming holes offer fresh water (which can be cold) for you to enjoy.
In addition, you can often hike a path to find these swimming holes. Few things are more refreshing than building up a sweat and coming across a glistening spot to swim. The Georgia area recognized as one of the best swimming holes is an excellent example of a spot with all these qualities.
Bridal Veil Falls – Tallulah Falls, Georgia
“The falls host an eight-foot-deep swimming hole with water that cascades over a portion of the rocks to create the natural slide,” Travel and Leisure explains.
You do need a permit to hike the trail and access the waterfall. However, the permit is free. The waterfall is approximately 20 feet. In addition to this being a very popular swimming spot, many travelers are also able to view the waterfall and swimming hole from above (without a permit).
When you obtain the proper permit, the hike to the falls is a great workout that requires some energy. You are instantly rewarded upon arriving at your destination. Furthermore, there’s nothing like cooling off in these refreshing swimming hole waters.
Georgia Destination Named A Best Tiny House Hotel
A recent report by Shermans Travel detailed the 10 best Tiny House hotels in America, and a Georgia destination made the list. “Tiny homes are one of the hottest residential design trends right now,” they explain.
In addition, Realtor.com published a story last year that gave readers a glimpse of what exactly is going on with the Tiny House trend in America. But what is a Tiny House? Typically, they are 100 to 400 square feet. Many of them (though not a requirement) are situated in quieter areas. It is very common to find tiny home communities tucked within nature, in a peaceful and serene setting.
Other common attributes include creative ways to establish storage space and loft beds. They are often energy-efficient simply due to the smaller footprint requiring less utility power.
“If you’re considering the tiny-home lifestyle, take it for a test drive before you hire a builder and go all-in,” Realtor explained. That is another reason why having such Tiny House hotel options is helpful. It gives those who are interested a chance to try it out.
Live A Little Chatt – Rising Fawn, Georgia
Located just 30 miles outside Chattanooga, Live A Little Chatt has three Tiny Houses on the property to stay at. “It’s evident that each was built with love and intention,” Shermans Travel explains. The Old Blue Chair house accommodates up to five guests, while the Shangri-Little and Wandering Gypsy can sleep three people.
Visitors to Rising Fawn Georgia are in close proximity to Cloudland Canyon State Park. That’s where you will find hiking trails and two waterfalls. However, there is also nothing wrong with staying on the hotel grounds to embrace the simple environment around you to unwind fully.
Each of the three options at this Georgia destination that was named in the list of best Tiny House hotels is uniquely different from each other. “We strive to give you the place to find your bliss and live deliberately.” Live A Little Chatt says.
