Unfortunately, I am a local. Since you are going to Hiawassee, your best approach will be from I-75 south of Atlanta, take I-675 to I-285, to I-85 to I-985 to Hwy 129 to Hwy 75A to Hwy 17 into Hiawassee.
That route certainly works, but is only 4 lane to Blairsville, and you have two lane surface streets infested with traffic lights and very low speed limits patrolled by police through Young Harris, Blairsville, Blue Ridge, and east Elijay. Also that route puts the poster through world class traffic from Mt. Zion Road in Henry County all the way to Woodstock in Cherokee County, a distance of over 60 miles. Your suggested route, depending on the time of day, could be 2 plus hours longer than my route.
