Make the Most of Your Dillard Stay

A Revolutionary War legacy in the mountains

Dillard traces its roots to 1794, when Captain John Dillard received a 1,000-acre land grant for his Revolutionary War service. The town's defining landmark, the Dillard House, began as a boarding house in 1917 and has grown into a beloved institution famous for its all-you-can-eat Southern family-style feasts. Today, this quiet mountain enclave balances heritage with modern sophistication, from Rabun Manor's Victorian elegance to Julep Farms' contemporary farm resort aesthetic.

Elevated mountain experiences

At 3,640 feet, this area offers Georgia's highest state park at Black Rock Mountain, where 80-mile vistas stretch across the Blue Ridge. The culinary scene extends beyond traditional Southern cooking to include New American cuisine at Julep Kitchen and tastings at R.M. Rose & Company Distillers, Georgia's oldest registered distillery. Sky Valley Country Club provides championship golf at the state's highest elevation, while 12 Spies Vineyards offers estate wines with mountain sunset views.

Practical considerations

A rental car is essential for exploring Dillard and nearby destinations like Tallulah Gorge or Highlands, North Carolina. Asheville Regional Airport (88 miles) provides the closest access, though Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson remains the primary hub.
