The Cottages at Smithgall Woods is a 5,600-acre mountain retreat that combines a unique natural setting with the seclusion and rustic charm of a private mountain estate. Hidden in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Lodge offers upscale rustic accommodations for 28 overnight guests, countless outdoor recreational activities, one of the southeast’s finest trout streams, and gourmet cuisine. Peaceful and secluded, the lodge provides a relaxing respite ideal for corporate retreats and small meetings. The pristine mountain preserve offers corporate groups and individuals alike the time and place to indulge in countless outdoor recreational activities, complete privacy, elegantly rustic accommodations, and spectacular culinary pleasures amidst the serenity and beauty of the natural mountain landscape.

Rather than one large building, The Lodge is a cluster of five distinctive cottages offering gracious accommodations for just 28 overnight guests. Guests may make a reservation by the room, the cottage, or enjoy the entire facility exclusively.

Hiking, mountain bicycling, wildlife observation, fishing along 12 miles of pure trout streams, and naturalist programs are among the activities that beckon guests to explore this natural landscape. Dukes Creek, which runs through the property, has been named “one of the Top 100 Trout Streams in the U.S.” by Trout Unlimited. The Lodge at Smithgall Woods is located on the northwest corner of the 5,600-acre Smithgall Woods-Dukes Creek Conservation Area. The Visitors Center is open to the public with day-use activities, including catch-and-release trout fishing, wildlife observation, and outdoor educational programs. These programs are also available to Lodge guests.

The Lodge at Smithgall Woods is an idyllic destination for individuals, executive retreats, weddings, family reunions, and anyone searching for a restorative vacation in one of Georgia’s most desirable and beautiful areas. Each season offers its own special magic, and guests can always count on the splendid landscape and warm Southern hospitality to welcome and delight.
