Wow !!! In the heart of Georgia wine country, the setting is romatic and beautiful. The service is beyond 5 start ! Where did North Ga. find this chef? Solid 5 star food by any comparison. The management is on top of every detail. The massage was heavenly. Only 90 minutes from Atlanta, if you seek peace, tranquility, beautiful scenery, and a night sky that absolutely "lights up" Dahlonega Spa Resort is the undiscovered "diamond" of the North Georgia mountains.

We selected a package that included our meals, room, spa treatment and yoga. We arrived late Thursday evening to a delicious meal prepared by Chef Jonathan Hughes ( he is new to the property). His wife stacy checked us in and we found our simply appointed cabin a short walk from the main house. The room was simple but nice, the bath products were lovely and the furnishing were tasteful. The second day we awoke to and early breakfast and a hike around the property. After a nice lunch on the porch overlooking the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains we further explored the hiking trails. After an early evening yoga session we enjoyed the first night of a wonderful fall menu put together by the chef. The food was not only delious but very eye appealing. That evening we enjoyed a soak in the HUGE jacuzzi! On the third day of our trip we again enjoyed wonderful food and expertly led yoga by Carolena followed by a deep tissue massage and a mud wrap. Both were exquisite. Our final day ended with breakfast and yoga followed by warm goodbyes from the staff! We did not want to leave! There are many vineyards nearby as well as the beautiful town of Dahlonega, we by choice decided to park and unwind! This was the most relaxing vacation my husband and I could have chosen. No tv, no phonesd just peace, nature, good food, and wonderful service!

My husband and I decided to take a weekend trip to Georgia’s wine country. Dahlonega Resort and Spa was the perfect location. We were not able to check in until about 10pm Friday night. We advised the resort this when we made the reservations and they said it would be fine and a key would be left at the front desk. I even called the resort on Friday to confirm our late check in. When we arrived, the key for our room wasn’t there and I had to call the manager on duty, Rachel. She lives on the resort (thank goodness) and she was super nice and accommodating but I felt terrible for calling her so late. We also booked a Cottage room and were told this was the only room available, however, upon check in we were put in Cabin 19. I have to say I’m glad we were put in a cabin because the cottage rooms are part of house with 4 rooms; the cabins are in clusters of 4 each, for maybe a total of 12 on the resort, but have more privacy than the cottage rooms did. We checked out our cabin…a little hard to find due to no outside lights on but we managed. The cabin was very clean and included: 2 queen beds with sheets, AC and a heater, small fridge, coffee maker, large closet, and private bathroom with a shower, towels, shampoo and soap. There is no TV so bring things to do…games or a laptop (WiFi not available in the cabins but good everywhere else on the property) but resort offers also yoga for a small fee, spa (fee also), a hiking trail, pond (bring your fishing poles), jacuzzi, or you could also just relax. My husband and I chose to do breakfast at the resort (extra fee) because there are no restaurants near except downtown Dahlonega, about 15 minutes drive. Breakfast was a buffet since a yoga group was there and was served from 8:30-10am. Breakfast included: muffins, fruit, oatmeal, eggs, sausage, juices and coffee. We sat outside on the front porch, which had a beautiful view of mountains! The resort provides breakfast, lunch, and dinner but they require 24 hour notice on this. I would recommend this if you don’t want to drive into downtown Dahlonega or bring your own food. After breakfast, we drove to the 3 wineries closest to Dahlonega Resort: Blackstock, 3 Sisters, and Frogtown about 2 minutes away. The resort was having lunch and dinner that weekend since a yoga group was there but we chose not to eat with everyone else and brought some sandwiches. Sunday morning breakfast consisted of pancakes, bacon, eggs, oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, juices, and coffee. Dahlonega Resort and Spa has a gorgeous location and is very relaxing; only thing wasn’t impressed with was that the resort was geared toward yoga lovers; nothing against that because I enjoy yoga but I was looking more of a romantic weekend with my husband. Make sure to check out downtown Dahlonega…lots of shops, great food, and sometimes live music on Saturdays. There are also several waterfalls near, hiking and biking trails, and two other wineries.

Our daughter got married near Pura Vida and we were SO blessed to have found this wonderful place to stay as well as to hold our Rehearsal dinner. The staff are so kind and patient. they worked great under pressure, serving our every need with a smile . The HUGE out door hot tub was a blessing to me as the Mother of The Bride and taking a walk on the trail helped keep me centered on wedding day.
Britt, the chef helped so much in working with our budget for the rehearsal dinner meal which we planned only two weeks ahead after a previous facility fell through.
Margaret and Sandy were amazing to work with. I highly recommend this lovely escape for a private getaway or a family affair of any kind!
