RV rental Sautee Nacoochee, GA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Sautee Nacoochee is an unincorporated town in White County, Georgia. It is physically located in the Appalachian Foothills in the far northeast of the state. The name originates from a local band of Native Americans, the Sawate (the “Raccoon People”). Sautee is the anglicized pronunciation. Nacoochee is the Sawate word (the anglicized version of the Cherokee pronunciation of “Nokose”) meaning “bear”. A folktale tells of how a Cherokee maiden, Nacoochee, fell in love with Sautee, a Chickasaw warrior; their love was forbidden and they tried to elope, but a Cherokee war party threw Sautee from a cliff (allegedly nearby Yonah Mountain). Nacoochee jumped to her death after him. The story was popularized in Western culture through a book, Sketches of Travel in the Old and New World, written by a son of one of the original European settlers, George Williams, in 1871.
