I celebrated my birthday with five friends and enjoyed it so much I wrote a blog about the experience. http://gocomics.typepad.com/7day_menu_planner/ I gave the experience 5 stars because every part of it was terrific: food, "rooms", hosts and surroundings. The place even has resident cats and dogs who are part of the welcome "committee." From all reports, everyone had a great... More

My husband and I loved EVERYTHING about the Martyn House. JoAnn and Rick both, were such amazing individuals. I can't begin to explain the warmth from them, their hospitality, generosity, and passion for what they do for others. They opened up THEIR home, and shared it with US, to explore. Our accommodations were so incredibly beautiful, (We had the Hummingbird... More

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and treated very well through out our stay. It was very relaxing. It was very cold in fact the coldest it has been since they opened but we were kept warm in the tent by the heater and outside by the warm fire pit. The breakfast's were unbelievable, very fresh, tasty and... More

We had the best time Glamping. The "tents" are comfortable and homey. We went in late October when it was fairly chilly at night, and the heaters in the tents were more than adequate to keep us toasty warm. JoAnn and Rick are amazing people, talented artists, and remarkable hosts. We went during a Farm to Table dinner and that... More

The Martyn House was a perfect weekend getaway for celebrating our anniversary. It's just a delightful place with wonderful hosts who have set up the most charming place in the woods of North GA. We loved our glamour tent with king-size bed and feather quilt, bathroom and front porch. There was a nice campfire at night where we sat and... More

This was our 41st wedding anniversary, we'll never forget it, it was great! Our hosts were warm and personable, and great cooks, to boot. Our fellow glampers were equally friendly, resulting in amiable social interaction. I would recommend the Martyn House to thinks out of the box.

There's no other way to describe our stay at the Martyn House other than magical! It was almost hypnotizing...the atmosphere, music, lighting, food, and company. I could've stayed for weeks on end! It was renewing, calming, and just what we needed on a quiet weekend away together! Wonderful experience...we'll definitely be back!

Truly a unique experience...the "tent rooms" are as comfortable as any hotel...with bathrooms, sitting area, comfortable beds...run by two wonderful, warm, fun hosts who are also working artists. The tents have their own porch and are decorated in fun fabrics. The food was wonderful. The setting is open, peaceful and beautiful. And the tents were cool with just a fan... More

What a wonderful retreat to celebrate ANYTHING ... especially our 45th Wedding Anniversary. Between all the fabulous art, photography, tents, food, etc. etc. etc., plus such wonderful creativity and love abounds with Jo Ann and Rick superior hostess/host. Massage therapist Sukoshi is incredible and an outstanding therapist. Besides being quite the lady, she plays a mean guitar and sings like... More
