Directions


​The Dillard House Inn is located in northeastern Georgia at 768 Franklin Street, just 2 minutes from the NC/GA state line on US-23, and 2 hours northeast of Atlanta, GA. It is centrally located between Atlanta, GA, Asheville, NC, Greenville, SC, Knoxville, TN, and Chattanooga, TN.

If you're coming to the writing retreat - or to the 5k or 10k race - you'll need to know how to get to the Dillard House. We've provided a few basic directions below. If you're driving from the north - or from the south - this sign will tell you when to turn off US-23/Hwy 441. ​
