This town, about 45 minutes north of Atlanta, is larger than some, but still full of small-town charm from its roots as a river village. If you're a mountain biker, you'll want to hit up Blankets Creek, a nationally renowned trail system that's great for all levels. Another draw is downtown Woodstock, where a stretch of eateries and boutiques awaits you. Stop for a slice at the Pie Bar and a pint at Reformation Brewery.
