Ellijay, in North Georgia’s mountains, makes a great multi‑week base for a travel therapist: scenic, walkable downtown with cozy cafés, abundant apple orchards, wineries and craft breweries, and easy access to hiking, mountain‑biking and river paddling—seasonal festivals and a laid‑back social scene keep evenings and weekends enjoyable.
Larger nearby hubs like Gainesville and Dahlonega are a short drive away for more dining, shopping and medical services, so you won’t feel isolated.
