My family and I live in picturesque White County, Cleveland Georgia, Gateway to the Mountains. A beautiful little community, with a great history, and rolling hills leading into majestic mountains.

We have distinctive attractions like the rock face top of Mt. Yonah, Tallulah Gorge, Anna Ruby Falls, the Indian Burial Mound, the start of the Cherokee Trail of Tears, the quaint Bavarian style German village of Helen Georgia and the arts and crafts stores and theatre of Sautee.

We also have a massive amount of summer camps, RV & camper resorts, Church camp meeting grounds, state parks & lands and just a lot of woodlands and rivers and places one can commune with mother nature.

When my family and I moved to this lovely area over 10 years ago, it was small enough that everyone you passed on the road gave this little half wave across their steering wheel. When we inquired about this custom, we were told, that it was because if you didn't know the person yet, the community was small enough you soon would.

Shopping at the local IGA or the local hardware store for items for your home, you soon got to know a lot or most of the locals, and we were quickly accepted into the folds of this tight knit community. In fact I started using one of the local garages for mechanical work on my car, Dalton's, and Bobby Dalton is as honest as the day is long, a rare find in a mechanic. He would not sell you service on your car that you don't need.
