Traveler's Rest is an early tavern and inn located about 6 miles (10 km) east of Toccoa, Georgia, United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark on January 29, 1964.^[2]^[3]

Traveler's Rest was built by James R. Wyly around 1815 and served as an inn for traveler's on the newly constructed Unicoi Turnpike. In 1833 it was purchased by Devereaux Jarrett and became the headquarters of his 14,000-acre (57 km²) plantation. It is located very close to the site of the former Cherokee town Tugaloo.

Travelers Rest State Historic Site is operated by the U.S. state of Georgia.
