In summary, what a beautiful setting, excellent service, delicious food, charming drinks, with every one of the staff members (owners included) just waiting to coddle and take care of your every whim and desire. Finding the Lodge the first time was a little challenging but just trust the GPS even though it looks like you're heading onto someone's property, stay on the road until you reach the top. Once there, be prepared to be pampered. The road up is a tad narrow, and when we arrived it was covered in leaves (we hit prime color change/leaf dropping) but it's not bad. The rest of the time the road was well cleared with turn-outs obvious and useful if needed (we didn't need one during travels in and out). We stayed in a room on the 1st floor at the end of the hall with a nice sitting room and patio with a beautiful view of the wooded hillside. The room was nice, fully functional and one nice feature were motion lights under the bed such that if you get up during the night you're not stumbling around to find the bathroom door. Loved that. They have a bar with well made drinks and a nice cozy sitting area with a fireplace and comfortable chairs we used to chat with the staff who helped fine tune our winery stops. They have a 'snack bar' (my term) complete with various snacks, cold drinks, a coffee drink, and freshly made cookies each day. Oh, and they will point out a nice little file box with room numbers with homemade candy that magically appears each afternoon! A delicious and generous breakfast is included that is FAR from the typical powered scrambled eggs, paper thin bacon (you know what I'm talkin' about!). No, this is a freshly made frittata, the best home fries I've ever had, fresh cut fruit and more. Great start to each day! They have an outdoor seating area complete with lights, an abundance of bar height chairs/tables, Adirondack chairs, and fire pits. A great way to spend an evening at sunset sipping your wine/cocktails and talking the evening away. I would be remiss if I didn't mention that we opted for the five-course prix fixe dinner in their large communal dining area known as "Wit & Wisdom". It was a great way to mingle with other guests, share stories, compare winery travels, and just share time and conversation. This alone was worth the price of admission! We added the wine pairing so we went all in, and we felt that we certainly got our money's worth out of it! Kicking it off with an Amuse-Bouche and wrapping up the next five-courses, while they appear small, we were absolutely stuffed when we were done. The wines were outstanding and it turned out to literally be the perfect ending to our glorious stay with owners Tommy & Heather and the entire staff that made sure we were fed, comfortable, and part of the Mountain Top 'family'. As I loaded the pictures, I realize I have to give a shout-out to Topher and the crew in the kitchen! You all demonstrate exceptional service and skill. Well Done!!!

What a quaint and such fun place tucked away in the mountains! From the time we arrived the staff ( Megan) was beyond welcoming. From the cookies to the champagne it was very special. Our room was perfect! Just what I needed for a get away. Well we went off for dinner for at night and decided to take an Uber since it was New Year's Eve and we were not familiar with the area. When it came time to leave , our uber never showed up! We tried again and again to no avail! Called the one and only taxi in the town and she was unable to give us any definite answer. My last hope was to call the lodge . I felt terrible as it was getting later by the minute. It was their New Year's celebration going on. No one was able to answer so I left a message for their manager Sean hoping at 11:00 anyone would even be there to respond. Not even 5 minutes later Sean sent a text asking if we still needed help . This guy went above and beyond to help us out. He was there within minutes and got us back to the resort in time to celebrate with the other guests to bring in the new year! This place is a gem. We will definitely be back every year! They have covered every little detail here to make it special for each guests. Thank you again Sean for making this trip an awesome time! We will definitely be back!

This is a very quaint and historic building. We stayed in the Stanton Room which was very…read morespacious. The bathroom towels were soft and the toilet tissue was Charmin's best, not the type that dissolves in your nether parts. You will need to understand that the floors and stairs leading up to the room are the original wooden floors of a structure built in 1884, so squeaking comes with the package. If you love places with lots of character then this is for you! Mike is an exceptional host who is very responsive and lets guests check in early if the room is ready. The location is right across the street from the park and a short three minute walk into the town square. You won't be disappointed if you stay here!

The room was charming (I am a historian and a sucker for historic preservation/restoration). It had a lovely porch with a view of the park. My only complaint was that the bed was not very comfortable- a little bit on the stiff side. Overall, I would recommend this hotel to friends and family looking for a cute place to stay in the center of Dahlonega!

Each day brought a different breakfast, with a good variety of fruits, sweets, eggs and veggies. Don also was serving a gluten free muffin for another guest, and eggs for someone else, so he is accommodating. It's a few minutes to drive into the town of Dahlonega, with the winding roads and slow speeds, but still close enough. It was a bit confusing to turn into the driveway then wind up the path to the lodge, but there are signs to help. The driveway is a bit steep and I wouldn't want to go up if it was snowing in our little car! Enough parking for everyone and plenty of common rooms. There is a fridge and microwave on the first floor, and was a mini fridge in our room. It's about 45 minutes to Helen, GA and more affordable. I'd book the lodge again!

This lodge is family run, and they really put their heart and soul into it. Don is the perfect host, and was always available to answer questions and make recommendations. The Dahlonega area has so much to offer, like wine tasting, great restaurants, beautiful hiking trails (Appellation Trail), shopping, fishing, mining for gems and gold (highest quality gold in the world), gold mine tours, and the list goes on, and for us the Long Mountain Lodge is in the center of it all. Our room was very spacious, clean, beautifully decorated in a mountain theme, and had an amazing view from our patio, where we hung out every evening, sipping wine and champagne, watching the sun set.

The camp ground was clean and nice. The cabins were also very clean with beds, bedding, and toiletries so you don't need to bring any from home. There is a volleyball court, basketball goal, fire pit, swing set, and large room for gathering. The chattahoochee river is near by for fishing, rafting and etc. The only thing is finding the river was difficult and finding a nice spot on the river was driving distance. It would have been nice to have a map of how to get to places and the river. It would also be nice to have canoes, kayaks, and stuff to rent or recommendations of places near by where we could do that as an option. The place is still very new so there was not much to do around camp grounds. But overall a great place for reunion and relaxing.

We have the confirmation email from when we booked directly with the Motel on the phone, immediately got the confirmation email checking in Sept 3rd and checking out Sept 4th. We were traveling with our two large dogs, why we booked so far in advance as it's hard to travel with pets and we always plan ahead. We called at 2pm on the day of check in since we had not received our room door code. They said they didn't have our reservation until the next night even while I looked at and sent them our confirmation email for our room that night. We ended up on the road for 16 hours that day, with two dogs and myself being 7.5 months pregnant, to get back home because they MESSED UP. They offered to have a room at a different motel held for us for the night at the same price $230/night, the other place in question had two reviews since 2020 both with 1 star for mold and smell. Not acceptable, especially being pregnant I did not at all feel comfortable with that "solution". Either their system messed up or they had an employee change our reservation after booking, in either case we should not have been left without a room when we booked a full 30 days in advance and had a correct confirmation email from the motel (not through a third party booking site). Managed to ruin our short baby moon in Helen GA, maybe someday we'll actually get to visit.
