Ball Ground is a very small but growing town in North Georgia, found near the southern end of the Appalachian Trail. It is steeped in early American history. This is the site where the Cherokee and Creek Indians had their epic battle in the 1700s. Today, there is a beautifully preserved historic district complete with mom and pop shops like Martin’s General Store. Here, you can see beautiful historic homes, walk through Gibbs Gardens, go on a hike at Amicalola Falls, or check out a seasonal festival. A nice stay in one of these Airbnbs in the country is all you’ll need to experience beautiful North Georgia. Check out our list of the best Airbnb vacation rentals in this destination.

1. Master bedroom suite in Red Gate Lakes (from USD 800)
A master bedroom suite awaits on a horse ranch in the Georgia countryside. Host Maria promises a private romantic suite but insists the kitchen is the place to socialize. Guests can also make use of the grill on the private back patio for some late-night stargazing and communal meals. Milton, Georgia and the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains are within easy reach, so the suite undoubtedly scores for its fantastic location as well. Not to mention, few guests come away from this booking without rave reviews of her southern hospitality. For a quiet getaway in an upscale neighborhood with lovely views, this is the place.
