[at-l] Motels-Amicalola Area

[gadog430 at charter.net (Gadog430)]

There is a Holiday Inn in Dahloega as well. and there is one B&B across the street from the college. 
Big change from when I went to college there and we only had the Smith House and no Wally World. HORRORS!!
But that just meant that there was more time for canoeing on the Chestatee. 
It was an even bigger change when my dear dear father went there....there was only a DQ. 
There are also several hotels in Cumming, Ga which is only about 15 miles from Dawsonville.

  Ozzie,

  I've used the lodge at Amicalola falls many times and find it clean, 
  reasonable, and a short 7 miles from Springer with a trail leading to it, 
  as well as other trails in the area. There is a restaurant in hte lodge as 
  well. Its from there that I started my 2002 hike. I live about 75 miles 
  from there and its the only hotel/motel I've used in that area.  There are 
  many others in the are, chains I believe , as well as the Smith House in 
  Dahlonega. The Smith House serves all you can eat southern food.

  If you need more info, just let me know.
