Georgia City Has One Of The Best Holiday Markets
The ringing bells, smell of peppermint, and sparkling lights are just some of the joyful qualities you will find at your local pop-up holiday fair. To fully enjoy this festive spirit USA 10BEST named the best cities for holiday markets and a Georgia city was recognized.
“This holiday tradition from Europe was brought over to North America by immigrants, and today, cities and towns across the country host holiday markets inspired by the originals, complete with traditional food, music, and holiday treats,” 10BEST says.
There are many reasons why visitors love holiday markets. To simply spread joy and get into a festive spirit is good enough. However, holiday markets also give small businesses the opportunity to showcase their products, services, or art to their local communities. For guests, holiday markets are a great place to grab that last-minute gift.
Lastly, these outdoor holiday pop-ups allow residents the time to celebrate with each other in their own neighborhoods.
In Georgia, the market that was recognized for having one of the best holiday markets has festivities booked through New Year’s Eve.

Georgia Destination Named A Best Tiny House Hotel
A recent report by Shermans Travel detailed the 10 best Tiny House hotels in America, and a Georgia destination made the list. “Tiny homes are one of the hottest residential design trends right now,” they explain.
In addition, Realtor.com published a story last year that gave readers a glimpse of what exactly is going on with the Tiny House trend in America. But what is a Tiny House? Typically, they are 100 to 400 square feet. Many of them (though not a requirement) are situated in quieter areas. It is very common to find tiny home communities tucked within nature, in a peaceful and serene setting.
Other common attributes include creative ways to establish storage space and loft beds. They are often energy-efficient simply due to the smaller footprint requiring less utility power.
“If you’re considering the tiny-home lifestyle, take it for a test drive before you hire a builder and go all-in,” Realtor explained. That is another reason why having such Tiny House hotel options is helpful. It gives those who are interested a chance to try it out.
Live A Little Chatt – Rising Fawn, Georgia
Located just 30 miles outside Chattanooga, Live A Little Chatt has three Tiny Houses on the property to stay at. “It’s evident that each was built with love and intention,” Shermans Travel explains. The Old Blue Chair house accommodates up to five guests, while the Shangri-Little and Wandering Gypsy can sleep three people.
Visitors to Rising Fawn Georgia are in close proximity to Cloudland Canyon State Park. That’s where you will find hiking trails and two waterfalls. However, there is also nothing wrong with staying on the hotel grounds to embrace the simple environment around you to unwind fully.
Each of the three options at this Georgia destination that was named in the list of best Tiny House hotels is uniquely different from each other. “We strive to give you the place to find your bliss and live deliberately.” Live A Little Chatt says.
