Top Guest Houses in Murray County in 2026

During the 1790s, James Vann became a Cherokee Indian leader and wealthy businessman. He established the largest and most prosperous plantation in the Cherokee Nation, covering 1,000 acres of what is now Murray County. In 1804 he completed construction of a beautiful 2 ½-story brick home that was the most elegant in the Cherokee Nation. After Vann was murdered in 1809, his son Joseph inherited the mansion and plantation. Joseph was also a Cherokee leader and became even more wealthy than his father.

In the 1830s almost the entire Cherokee Nation was forced west by state and federal troops on the infamous Trail of Tears. The Vann family lost their elegant home, rebuilding in the Cherokee Territory of Oklahoma. Today the Vann House survives as Georgia’s best-preserved historic Cherokee Indian home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the house which features beautiful hand carvings, a remarkable “floating” staircase, a 12-foot mantle and fine antiques.

Hampton Inn Blue Ridge

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent!!!"

Luxurious, Secluded Cabin, with Gazebo Covered Hot-tub + Amazing View

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the mountain top getaway cabin. It was beautiful and the views were amazing! The cabin was pristine with everything we needed. On some days it rained so we didn’t want to drive into the city and felt that the cabin itself had so much to do if we wanted to just hang out as a family. There are games, dvds, arcade, jenga, cornhole…jacuzzi. So much to offer! Let’s talk about the views - omg spectacular if you want to have breakfast, drink coffee, or drink a glass at night and listen to the animals. It was so peaceful and just beautiful! We will be renting this again and again and again! Thank you! "
