Sassafras Place!

Located less than an hour from Atlanta, near Amicalola Falls, Sassafras Place was designed and built to be one of the finest vacation rentals in North Georgia and is the "sister home" to Monument Place (vrbo#100324). For large groups, weddings and corporate outtings of over 30 people, both can be rented.

Located at 3000 feet above sea level, on the southernmost extension of the Blue Ridge Mountains within one half mile of the intersection of Gilmer, Pickens and Dawson county, the design, construction and furnishing of both Sassafras Place and Monument Place was inspired by our first vacation rental, Paramount Place.

Perched on the top of Sassafras Mountain, Sassafras Place provides 4300 square feet of finished space, 1800 square feet of covered deck and 800 square feet of covered terrace level patio. Sassafras Place is an absolutely gorgeous, custom, executive home on five acres. From this ridgeline, you can see over 70 miles to the Northeast, looking over the top of Amicalola Falls and into the Chattahoochee National Forest beyond it.

Completed in September of 2007, Sassafras Place is ideal for three to five families, extended families, large reunion gatherings, or a couple that likes a lot of space. Perfect for a small wedding, wedding reception, honeymoon, or all three! With five sleeping areas on the perimeter of three large, common areas on three different levels, Sassafras Place has been designed to accommodate a large group, while still providing privacy to couples and individuals. Literally 600 yards away and around the corner from Monument Place, this home allows us to serve up to 35 overnight guests at once when combined with Monument Place. Use both homes for a corporate outing or a mountain wedding!

Sassafras Place is very secluded and private, yet only five miles from Amicalola Falls State Park, 12 miles from Jasper, and 14 miles from Ellijay.
