While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

This is one of the coolest places I have ever been to. It has a very interesting history, prices are reasonable, food is amazing, and it is a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy nature. The staff are some of the most interesting and kindest people I have ever met. 10 out of 10 would recommend for anybody traveling through southeast Georgia. Get there before 7:00 for an amazing vegan / vegetarian dinner. Proof of vaccination required. ;) <3

I stopped for a quick snack passing through down. Enjoyed both the chicken salad and a divine red velvet brownie bar. Staff was super-nice, super helpful. Bathrooms also available for the travelers passing through as I was. The garden was an extremely pleasant and quiet place to enjoy a break from the road.

Hostel with private rooms and bunks located within walking distance of the Appalachian Trail in Hiawassee, GA.
Loved my stay at Hostel Around the Bend during my 2022 AT thru hike attempt. The owners were super friendly and accommodating. The bunk room was nice and the beds were comfy. Great selection of resupply options as well as snacks/food/drinks for around the hostel. Slackpacking option was perfect.

Brian was incredibly helpful and it wasn't an issue to come/go at late hours. He was friendly and sorted transportation to the airport for me. The accommodation is a bit warm inside, I went late May. Other than that, the location is perfect! Right next to Forsyth Park and a short walk to the centre of downtown Savannah. The beds were clean and comfy. It was the best option for a student, price wise. Good place to stay when travelling through Georgia.

Atlanta Midtown Hostel is the best way to save on accommodation while enjoying wonderfully eclectic juxtaposition of history and modernity, Southern food and international cuisine, tradition and revolution. We aim to provide visitors with a laid-back fun loving atmosphere where travelers from all over the world can meet and in many cases providing life-long memories, experiences and friendships.
Listen folks, don’t let the quaint description of the place lure you in. This is a room for rent, low brow type of establishment that faces an industrial parking lot. There is no staff here the majority of the time and people can come/go freely by propping the door.
