Love this little town and not to far away from the Cascades Inn-Waterfall Retreat!

In the North Georgia Mountains, the Old Sautee Store has been welcoming folks for over 150 years...making it the oldest continuously operating general store in the Peach State, and still to this day one of the most charming places to stop and browse in this beautiful area of Georgia! Tucked away in Sautee Nacoochee, just a short drive from Helen, this 1872 landmark feels like the kind of place you stumble into and remember long after you leave.

The old front room is full of character, with creaky pine floors, hand-hewn beams, 19th-century counters, an open stone hearth, antique goods, and even a vintage player piano you can still drop a quarter into. It feels part country store, part time capsule, and part mountain roadside stop.

The food is a big part of the draw, too. Next door at the Old Sautee Market, visitors can grab hand-crafted deli sandwiches, paninis, hot soups, fresh-baked cookies, old-fashioned cream sodas in glass bottles, and cold cider. One of the store’s longtime favorites is its Swedish Farmer Cheese, a mild imported cheese they’ve been known for for decades. Locals and regular visitors often pair it with thin crackers, making it one of those simple traditions that has helped give the place its loyal following.

Inside the newer section, you’ll also find old-fashioned candies, local jams, raw honey, unique gifts, and Scandinavian wool sweaters. You can visit the Old Sautee Store at 2317 Georgia Highway 17. It’s open 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Sunday through Thursday, and until 5:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.

Beautiful pictures by Red Rock Photography!

Each Blue Ridge,
Every Rhododendron Bloom,
All of the affected Hemlocks
tell part of the story.
A story of peace and beauty,
A story of land and love,
A story that reminds us
where we are from.
These mountains are my home,
my history, my present, and my future,
This is my story and this is how I tell it.
