During the 1790s, James Vann became a Cherokee Indian leader and wealthy businessman. He established the largest and most prosperous plantation in the Cherokee Nation, covering 1,000 acres of what is now Murray County. In 1804 he completed construction of a beautiful 2 ½-story brick home that was the most elegant in the Cherokee Nation. After Vann was murdered in 1809, his son Joseph inherited the mansion and plantation. Joseph was also a Cherokee leader and became even more wealthy than his father.

In the 1830s almost the entire Cherokee Nation was forced west by state and federal troops on the infamous Trail of Tears. The Vann family lost their elegant home, rebuilding in the Cherokee Territory of Oklahoma. Today the Vann House survives as Georgia’s best-preserved historic Cherokee Indian home. A guided tour allows visitors to see the house which features beautiful hand carvings, a remarkable “floating” staircase, a 12-foot mantle and fine antiques.

TRU by Hilton Ringgold

10/10 Excellent

"The room was perfect. Clean and well designed, roomy bathroom plenty of hot water. The bed was a bit firm but ok. Luggage cart was awful, it took me three trips to unload my bags. "

Luxurious, Secluded Cabin, with Gazebo Covered Hot-tub + Amazing View

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful visit. We couldn’t find the speaker when we arrived - messaged the host and had a response and resolution within five minutes. We had a wonderful visit. Was a perfect spot for our three families, three kids, and three off leash dogs. We will book again next fall!!"
