The Guest Lodge isn't your typical roadside hotel. We're a 96-room independent lodge with colonial-style architecture, recently renovated with a designer's eye and a budget traveler's heart.
Our rooms primarily feature tile flooring for a cleaner, more modern feel, complemented by retro-modern appliances that look as good as they perform.
We're pet-friendly because pets are family. We serve free breakfast because mornings matter. And we treat every guest — whether you're here for a weekend getaway, a Lake Lanier regatta, or a visit to the hospital down the road — like you belong here. Because you do.
