Surrounded by nature on a small, private lake and 2.5 acres of woods, The Chata Lodge is filled with comforts like luxury linens to an equipped kitchen for the memories your family will make even when indoors. Our family’s hope in sharing our personal retreat is that your time here will renew your mind, body and spirit.

The space
The Chata Lodge is a luxury retreat nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Northern Georgia. The property sits on 2.5 acres of wooded land and overlooks a small, private lake, all while being tucked inside an intimate, gated community.

Unlike most rental spaces, we keep the cabin stocked with the things your family needs to have a magical get away and leave the day-to-day stresses behind you. You will always find a variety of complimentary K-Cups & creamers in the kitchen, real dinner and cookware, dozens of indoor and outdoor games, a single person kayak & a three person canoe by the lake, extra blankets & pillows in the bedrooms, toys for the little ones, books, and more. We even include a complimentary basket of firewood for your stay! Forgot your shampoo, lotion, or hair dryer? Relax - we provide those, too! Need to toss in some wash during your stay? Use our luxury washer & dryer!

Play pool, air hockey, or darts in the game room. Enjoy corn-hole on the green, take a dip in the six person hot tub, roast s’mores around the fire pit, enjoy an outdoor picnic, or take a leisurely paddle around the private pond in our kayak or canoe! Share a romantic dinner on the master suite’s private balcony, or “rock and relax” in the rocking chairs on one of our various porches as you enjoy your morning cup of coffee.

The lodge accommodates couples and families alike with three king bedrooms for adults or teens (one king bedroom is located on the main floor), and a fourth bedroom for kids with a bunk bed, toys, stuffed animals, and DVDs. The den features four, luxury leather chairs around a two story stone fireplace, with an additional fireplace on the terrace level. A large outdoor fire pit with a bench and six brand new Adirondack chairs await outside.

Little ones are sure to enjoy the “Narnia Nook”; a secret room filled with various “treasures” off the second story loft.

Our aim was to fill every space with something that inspires, delights, comforts, or sparks curiosity. This is not just a rental cabin; we insisted on making it a special family experience!

Other things to note
There is abundant wildlife that shares the area with us. Deer, turkey, geese, turtles, scorpions, lizards, wild birds of every kind and even the occasional raccoon, snake, river otter or bear. It is part of what makes it so special! We just want you and the other creatures to have a good experience with one another. Be sure to follow the safety guide in the house book to avoid attracting bears and other unwanted encounters with wild creatures.

Please bring any emergency treatments for allergic reactions with you, as crawling and flying things are all around and the remote location could result in a delay in receiving medical attention. Bug spray is recommended in the summer months.

Family or corporate retreats, events, small weddings, and other special occasions are welcome! Please message us to inquire about pricing and provide us with details to best serve your needs. Sorry, but we do not allow parties, nor do we rent to people without reviews.

Pet policy: One small, house trained dog under 25lbs is welcome. Unfortunately, we cannot allow cats on the property as many people are allergic.
