Planning your arrival

1
Exact address is in your confirmation
For privacy and security, the Lodge address is not listed publicly. Once your booking is confirmed, you'll receive the full address and a detailed arrival guide. If you book direct, you'll get this immediately after payment.
2
Property manager greets every group
Your property manager will meet you at 4:00 PM, walk you through the property, answer any questions, and make sure you're settled before leaving. Plan to arrive close to 4:00 PM if possible.
3
Download the Blue Ridge app before you leave
The Blue Ridge Mountains app is the best local guide for restaurants, activities, and events. Download it before you leave home — cell coverage along US-515 can be intermittent in spots.
4
AWD/4WD recommended in winter
The Lodge sits at elevation and the driveway can ice in winter months. All-wheel or four-wheel drive is strongly recommended for December through February stays. Contact us if you're unsure about conditions for your dates.
5
Stock up before heading up
There's a Walmart and several grocery stores in Blue Ridge proper, about 10 minutes from the Lodge. If you're arriving late, we recommend stopping on your way in. Once you're settled at the Lodge, you may not want to leave.

What's nearby

Everything worth doing within 20 minutes of the Lodge.

Hiking
Aska Adventure Area
~10 min · Long Creek Falls, Stanley Gap, Flat Creek
The best trail system in North Georgia. Long Creek Falls is the standout — a moderate 2.2-mile round trip ending at a 50-foot waterfall. Go early on fall weekends.

Downtown
Blue Ridge, GA
~10 min · Restaurants, shops, breweries
A genuinely charming mountain town with farm-to-table restaurants, craft breweries, wine shops, and boutiques. Carroll's BBQ is our personal recommendation — go for lunch before they sell out.

Water
Lake Blue Ridge
~12 min · Kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing
A 3,300-acre reservoir surrounded by mountains. Calmer than most Georgia lakes — no jet ski chaos. Best in September and early October when the water is still warm and the crowds thin.
Plan your visit
Golf
Old Toccoa Farm
~15 min · Public tee times available
One of the most scenic mountain golf courses in the Southeast. You play it for the views as much as the game. Book tee times a week out on fall weekends.

Wineries
North Georgia Wine Trail
~15–30 min · Multiple vineyards
Several award-winning vineyards within a short drive. The mountain elevation produces exceptional grapes — and the winery settings are as good as the wine.

Lilly Pad Village
~10 min · Mini golf & gem mining
Mini golf and gem mining (sluicing for real gemstones) in a beautiful mountain setting. One of those rare activities that surprises adults as much as it delights kids.

~20 min · Guided trail rides
Guided horseback rides through the North Georgia mountains. Beautiful scenery and good for all experience levels. Book months in advance — they fill up fast, especially in fall.
