It's always so pleasure to visit Hamburger Center. The ride out from Dillard down narrow Lanes through mountain farmland makes you feel your in another time and place and that's before you get to the crafts center.

It's a beautiful natural environment with a fantastic history. The old grist mill is still in operation and was interesting to watch it run from water. There were beavers there in the water. Coming from Florida where everything is being decimated daily, it's nice to see the land and old ways being saved and used. I can only hope it stays this way for future generations to enjoy.

Hambidge is an artist retreat located in the north Georgia mountains near Dillard and the North Carolina border. Artists can apply for residencies to stay for a time in one of the studios at the retreat and enjoy solitude to work on whatever they like. Studios are separated from one another and are essentially small cottages. Artists take some communal meals at the large house down by the entrance but are otherwise free to do their thing as they please, as long as they don't disturb other artist-residents. Each studio has a small kitchen. The center also has a gallery and sometimes hosts events and shows. It's not free but is a pretty sweet deal. My wife has enjoyed two residencies at Hambidge. Visitors are somewhat discouraged - the whole point is to retreat into a quiet zone - so I have only visited briefly to drop off supplies and go for a short hike on the expansive property, which includes a number of trails (see photos). You could get used to living up here. Two kitties in residence, otherwise the property seemed to be critter-free (no pets allowed in the studios).
