Canton feels like a comfortable, walkable Atlanta suburb with a restored downtown square, local restaurants and breweries, plenty of parks and easy access to hiking and lakes — an inviting, low‑stress base for multi‑week stays where you can relax after work and still find things to do.
You’re about 40 miles north of Atlanta for big‑city dining, entertainment and the airport, and roughly 45 miles from Gainesville for regional shopping and lake/outdoor options, so you’re never far from more variety when you want it.
