The drive

What's the drive time from Atlanta?: About 1 hour 45 minutes from north Atlanta on a clear afternoon, closer to two and a half hours if you leave in Friday rush. The roads in are paved; the last stretch is a gravel driveway on a slope, where four-wheel drive is recommended and any car should take it slowly when wet.
How far is Cardinal House from downtown Blue Ridge?: About a 21-minute drive from downtown Blue Ridge, GA — close enough for dinner and a show at the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway, quiet enough to feel tucked into the woods.
What's the closest airport to Blue Ridge, GA?: Chattanooga (CHA) is the closest at about 1h25m. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL) models at 2h04m–2h11m and has more nonstops — budget about 2.5 hours to be safe with Atlanta traffic.
Do I need a 4x4 or SUV to reach the cabin?: The roads in are paved, and the last stretch is a gravel driveway on a slope down to the parking area. Four-wheel drive is recommended — many two-wheel-drive cars manage it fine in dry weather, but in rain, ice, or snow it's the one part of the trip worth taking slowly.
How long is the drive to the closest waterfalls and hikes?: Trailheads start about 25 minutes out (the Benton MacKaye Trail is the closest). The nearest waterfall, Fall Branch Falls, is a 37-minute drive, and most of the others run 40 minutes to an hour and a half. Every place in the area guide shows its drive time from Cardinal House.
Where do I park?: The driveway is gravel and slopes down to an open parking area by the cabin, with room for multiple vehicles. The approach roads are paved; four-wheel drive is recommended for the driveway, and any vehicle should take it slowly in rain, ice, or snow.
