The Blue Ridge Scenic Railway is a great family-friendly activity to see the sites of Blue Ridge and north to McCaysville. This can be a bit touristy (shopping especially), but the views make it a worthwhile venture!

Great summary by Atlanta Trails: Amicalola Falls is one of Georgia’s most popular state parks, so expect some company on the trail, especially on fair-weather weekends. While this hike explores some of the park’s lesser-traveled areas on this two-trail loop, the waterfall’s crest and stairs can often be busy with hikers and photographers. We usually try to catch the best views and photos of the falls in early mornings before the crowds arrive.
This trail is about 45-60 mins from the cabin. It is more difficult (LOTS of stairs) and not good for dogs (due to the stairs)

Great summary from AT: The Appalachian Trail travels through the Three Forks creek valley in the Chattahoochee National Forest, four miles from its Georgia beginning on Springer Mountain. At Three Forks, this two-mile out-and-back hike explores one of the most beautiful stretches of the Appalachian Trail in Georgia, exploring a lush valley on the way to Long Creek Falls. The waterfall, one of the few on the southern stretch of the AT, is a beautiful, rushing cascade that flows under a forest canopy of hemlock, tulip poplar, and rhododendron.
This trail is about 60 mins from the cabin and is moderate difficulty and dog-friendly.

Great summary by AT: This short, beginner-friendly adventure on the Benton MacKaye Trail explores a scenic, lush forest and visits one of Georgia’s most beautiful waterfalls. While the hike to Fall Branch Falls is nearly all uphill, and mildly challenging, it’s well worth the effort: the waterfall’s double cascades are simply beautiful, framed in gnarly-branched rhododendron and mossy, blocky rocks. It’s one of the top easy hikes near Blue Ridge, thanks to its relatively short distance and wonderfully scenic beauty.
