Weaver sylke “Sunflower”: The house itself is really kind of cute A-frame two bedroom carport backyard small River a 2 minute walk away. But one of the most unclean unkept homes Ive ever been in. Had to spend two hours cleaning the house before I felt comfortable staying here. The backyard had grass one foot tall when we got here it finally got cut on our third day so we could go out and walk in the grass without getting soaking wet and our animals three Chihuahuas getting drowned not to mention us being afraid of the snakes and other Critters that were hiding in the grass. Its a beautiful location and beautiful surroundings unfortunately I would not recommend being here had we a different choice we would have left.
Natasha Burnett: I absolutely love visiting this place when all the flowers are in bloom. Ideally I try to make it twice. Once so I can smell the native Azaleas in bloom. Then again during the peak of the Rhododendron bloom. I love all the varieties that they have. The bushes are so old that they are huge!!! It feels almost unreal walking through them. There are so many great spots to sit and relax now. They added a lot of new benches throughout the gardens. It makes it easier to take your time and just enjoy the beauty.
Anthony Cinelli: The trail is moderate, middle aged hikers and we did amazingly OK in the rain. Great views. Was not busy during the week. I would do this again. Uneven terrain, lots of roots and rocks to walk on. Path is worn and eroded but not terrible.
Melloney Coan: Great views! I needed to take pictures of places I went. Mike was kind enough to hold my flat Wiley (my school mascot). I took a picture of them, then up at the top Joyce held Wiley while I took a picture. Everyone we encountered was happy, kind, & pleasant.
Natasha Burnett: This place really is a gem! Its so unique! The contrast of natural beauty and over the top amounts of graffiti makes this place one of a kind. After calming my racing heart after the extremely steep drive up I stepped out to see some amazing views! There is graffiti everywhere but you get to see some really fun graffiti! Its not hang tags or anything bad but more things like loving and uplifting messages. Im just thankful its all up here in one place and not all over the buildings in town.
The climb up to the top was steep but not too long of a climb. There were hand rails on the steps so I felt safe on the way up. Luckily you dont have to make the climb to enjoy the views, you can simply walk over to the viewing platform. The views of Hiawassee, Hayesville and Lake Chatuge were absolutely stunning. I will definitely be returning in the fall.
Emerson Diaz: Amazing experience. You need to try the guided tour with the meal experience. Very thought provoking. The displays were awesome. If you cant afford to go to the holy Land, this is a great alternative. It insightful and full of practical knowledge that you miss out when just reading the scripture but this makes the culture, language, and many other nuances come to life
Mon Pandey: Perfect place to spend a day or Two on a weekday during winter when it is cold and dark outside I am sure summer will be fun too but its my preference
You have good options for food but if you are trying to save there are near by options as well as microwave in common areas
I would recommend buying there pass as it gives you huge discounts on all the other stores
For the folks who dont want to stay can utilize the day pass option
They do have a 15$ parking fee per day
Adventure Queen: This local history museum is free and worth visiting if you are in the area for a day trip. It houses several beautiful artifacts pertaining to the wonderful history of the LaGrange area.
