7 Top-Rated Cottages in Georgia

April 18, 2023 Hana Mouser

While Atlanta is the anchor and capital of Georgia, you can aim in any direction to find distinctly different regions – from the tail of the Appalachians in the North to the rolling Piedmont hills and on down to the seaside marshes in the East. Atlanta lays claim to the state’s number one attraction – Stone Mountain State Park. They say it best - “Serious fun. Endless adventure.” Just 15 minutes from downtown, the world’s largest exposed granite dome is surrounded by 3,200 acres of natural beauty and stimulating activities for every member of the family – sky rides and hiking paths, laser shows and pedal boats along Stone Mountain Lake. Golfers tee it up, while red foxes dash across the fairways in a state where the Masters Golf Tournament creates revered green-jacket memories every year. It’s a long downhill ride down to historic Savannah, a ‘stone’s throw’ from the Atlantic and a virtual step back in time to Southern architecture and stately squares. St. Simon’s and Jekyll Islands offer barrier island beauty and a wonderful combination of outdoor activities, historic sites and artistic culture. Originally the private winter playground of wealthy northeasterners, Jekyll Island stretches along 10 miles of coastal beaches and inland marshes. Cycling and walking paths wind under moss-laden oaks, and a tour of Millionaire Village takes you back to those Cornelius Vanderbilt and J.P. Morgan days. The kid-friendly Summer Waves Water Park adds man-made fun to natural water sport activities. Coastal golf courses and sophisticated St. Simon’s Island appeal to moms, dads and vacationing couples.

Clean & Comfortable

Chose the Mountain Lodge room. Had a lovely stay! Room was very clean. Bed was quite comfortable. Appreciated having a fridge, toaster, and coffee maker. Had coffee on the porch each morning, enjoying the lovely grounds and birds. Easy walk to town on sidewalk, where there were several restaurants and a brewery. Frank made sure everything was to our liking. Would definitely stay again.

We stayed here Memorial day weekend for our mini honeymoon and LOVED it. The cabin is very clean and super cozy. Also loved the hot tub and the fire pit/ picnic table area around back. We also liked how quiet the area is. You're within 10 minutes of Helen, Anna Ruby Falls and Unicoi state park are even closer. We can't wait to come back and stay longer!

Tybee Cottages

Vacation Rental Homes... For Those That Really Love The Beach.Off the coast of southeast Georgia is a barrier island known as Tybee Island - a destination of untainted coastal beauty and southern charm where ocean breezes beckon and wild sand dunes hug the shoreline. Tybee Cottages makes a handful of some of the finest properties on the Island available to your family. Most accommodations are located right on the beach. Each property is furnished with all of the conveniences of home - just bring your favorite beach chair and swimsuit!

Perfect beach house!

Reviewed By MrsCollins050314

62 Captain’s View is fantastic! We stayed 4 nights in late June 2019 for a family reunion close by on Tybee - 4 adults and 2 teenagers. The house was clean, spacious and very close to the beach. Gorgeous views of the dunes and ocean, large kitchen and family room, 3 screened in porches, 3 nice bedrooms and bathrooms. There was also an outdoor shower by the back porch which came in very handy after days at the beach. Nice location also - short drive by car or beach bike to shopping and cute downtown area. We loved this place!

Majestic Retreat Center - HIGHLY recommend!

Reviewed By VictoriaLoves2Travel

Elohee is a magical place that allows people to connect with themselves, with nature and with like-minded individuals. It is situated in a serene and picturesque setting on top of a mountain. The facilities are well constructed, and beautifully decorated and maintained. You will find the Elohee team to be incredibly attentive and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the Rest & Relaxation retreat I just participated in, and can't wait for the next one! I would highly recommend Elohee to retreat participants and facilitators.

Well kept secret

Reviewed By 11Sav

The Holloway Cottages are a great place for a family gathering. We just had our extended family of 9 at the Holloway House and Cottage B. These units were super clean, well equipped and nice in every way. We hiked in the park and enjoyed eating takeout from Fresh Air Barbecue and evenings at Yahola Creek which is just across the street. Open Fri-Sun. We were there in Feb. and all agreed to return in Spring or Summer when better weather.

Bald Mountain Creek Farm

AWESOME for Couples, Girls, Family, or Friends GetAway

Reviewed By Vicki802

We rented the studio at Bald Mt for a month and it was absolutely wonderful. The studio is huge and beautifully decorated. Everything you need is here and the kitchen is well stocked for cooking, baking and grilling. The studio is also very clean. The beds and all furnishings were really comfy and everything was sparkling clean. And the wifi was fast. All communication with the owners was great from start to finish. They answered our questions and recommended places to visit and restaurants in the area. The outdoor pavilion is beautiful and a great place to relax, grill your dinner and enjoy the scenery. There is a lot to do in the area, but really you can just relax here and sit on the porch in your rocking chair and just enjoy it all. And it's wonderful when it rains too as the rain falls on the tin roof. We hope you and your family enjoy it as much as we did

Uneven ground

Reviewed By Coastal14143416700

The place looks okay. Older campground clean facilities but absolutely NO water pressure and the sites were so unlevel, the cable for TV was on the ground and our neighbor was the one who pointed that out to us. There was an empty site next to us that was in better shape then the one we were placed in but when I asked if I could move the guy said no they were full! One person came into that site the following day and left the day after that. Ridiculous!!! You don’t select your campsites so I’m not sure what the issue was. We made the best of our stay and will probably not go back.
