Located less than an hour from Atlanta, near Amicalola Falls,
Monument Place may be the finest vacation rental in North Georgia.
We designed and built this home with this goal in mind and we really
do work hard at it. If you doubt on ability to deliver against this
goal, we strongly suggest you visit our guest book from our first
vacation rental, Paramount Place (vrbo#31607).

Located at 3200 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 Monument Place was inspired by our first vacation
rental, Paramount Place.

Perched on the top of Sassafras Mountain, Monument Place provides
4300 square feet of finished space, 2000 square feet of covered
cedar deck and 1000 square feet of covered terrace level patio.

or a couple that likes a lot of space. Perfect for a small wedding,
wedding reception, honeymoon, or all three! With 5 sleeping areas on

was literally on the Appalachian Trail until 1958, when in an effort
to get the southern terminus of the trail into the Chattahoochee
National Forest, the end of the trail was moved 8 miles to the north
to it's current location at Springer Mountain. (The center of our
view...)
