Guests at the Amicalola Falls Lodge are inspired and refreshed when they stay at the lodge, which is just steps away from the 720 foot tall Amicalola Falls, the highest cascading waterfall east of the Mississippi. Plus, the Appalachian Trail Approach Trail, which passes just a few hundred yards from the Lodge, leads from the property to Springer Mountain, the southern terminus of the Appalachian Trail. A relaxing and rejuvenating return to nature awaits you each time you visit The Lodge at Amicalola Falls. Just a 90-minute drive from downtown Atlanta, the lodge is located on the top of the mountain in Amicalola Falls State Park, in the heart of the Chattahoochee National Forest. Accommodations include cabins, camping, and full-service hotel rooms in the lodge. A full service restaurant provides both traditional Southern and American Cuisine.
In March 2017, Hiker Hostel was acquired by Barefoot Luxury, Inc. to add to its portfolio of global experiential travel offerings. Over the summer of 2017, Hiker Hostel underwent extensive upgrades and renovations, and was reopened as Barefoot Hills.
Today, Section Hikers, Cyclists, Mountain Bikers, Kayakers, Fly Fishermen and general nature enthusiasts of all walks join Wine Country aficionados, Gold Rush history buffs, and everyone else who has come to appreciate all that scenic Dahlonega has to offer during their stay at Barefoot Hills Hotel.
Of course, we remain true to our core AT Thru hiking guests, and to the Hiker Hostel community of guests whom made Barefoot Hills Hotel possible.
Home of the infamous pack shakedown. Tenting, bunkhouse, friendly cat on site. Very good resupply, fully stocked outfitter with knowledgable staff.
The five-mile trek through the foothills of North Georgia is just the beginning of a unique experience. A friendly face, a welcoming smile, a warm meal and a soft bed all greet you at trail’s end.
Everyone comes to the Hike Inn for different reasons. Some come to spend time with nature. Some come to spend time with family and friends. Others simply come to escape their daily routine. No matter the reason, the result is the same. People come here as guests. They usually leave as fans, friends and — in a sense — part of our family.What makes the Hike Inn unique is not any one experience, but its ability to make everyone feel like they’re a part of something special. Everyone belongs here.
Nestled in Moody Hollow and sitting next to the headwaters of the Hiawassee River, these cabins offer a great getaway. Guests find a special solitude not found in other campgrounds. Although we have a limited number of sites they are all very spacious. With 20 campsites, 15 of which are on the river, it allows for a more private camping experience. Some campers have found it so desirable; they’ve stayed for 6 years! 10 minutes from Hiawassee and 15 Minutes from Helen, you’re close to a variety of restaurants, quaint shops, grocery stores, beautiful Lake Chatuge, 6 new movie theaters and Funworld for the kids. Campers enjoy being minutes from High Shoals Falls, the Appalachian Trail and Brasstown Bald, the highest point in Georgia.
All three bedrooms have private baths. We serve a delicious hearty homemade breakfast every morning outside on our porch or inside our lovely dining room. The main floor is completely available for guests. We have secure wi-fi, but no cable or TV. Well behaved children are welcome.
