If you come up I75, go to I575 in north Marietta, Ga,, which turns into 515. Take 515 to east Blue Ridge, Ga, turn left on highway 60 toward Mineral Bluff, Ga and Murphy, NC. In Mineral Bluff, turn right on 60 toward Murphy, NC. Use highway 60 to US 74, turn right, you will intersect US 19 & 74 going east. Keep US 74 east to US 276, go north on 276 and follow signs to Maggie Valley. US 19 from Atlanta comes across the mountains, very steep and curvy, the other way is a little longer,but very doable compared to 19. This is if you are bring a coach or trailer.
