All of our spaces are self-catering, so you’ll have your own space to cook, gather, and make yourself at home.
If you’d rather ease into the morning, we offer a biscuit breakfast from our friends at Sunflour Bakery in nearby Rome — local, organic, and available by request.
Each space is a little different, so take a look at the individual accommodation pages to learn more about the cooking setup in each one.

Accommodations
Our cottages and glamping tents offer a peaceful, private retreat. Each cottage is just a short stroll from the others and steps away from scenic hiking trails. Our glamping tents are within easy walking distance to the bathhouse and provide immediate access to our secluded beach along the Etowah River.

Outdoor adventures during your stay…
Kingston Downs offers a true outdoor adventure and an opportunity to experience the beauty of North Georgia. Our 10 miles of trails are perfect for a day of hiking or mountain biking; fast, flowing singletrack trails, plus a few climbs for stunning views of the Etowah River. You’ll wind your way through the woods, across rolling hills, and take on the berms for some extra fun. Afterward, cool off with a swim at our private sandy beach or explore the waters by kayak, canoe, or paddleboard — reservations are required in advance of your stay for paddling activities.
Bring your fishing gear and cast a line right from the banks, or book an experience with Cohutta Fishing Company for a fly-fishing experience. Whether you’re after a half-day float trip or an intro to fly fishing course, their crew knows the ropes.
Don’t miss a visit to the Ravenel Cave, once a shelter for Native Americans and later used as a saltpeter mine during the Civil War. It stretches 203 feet into the bluff, giving you a sense of the land’s deep history.
We’re here to help you get the most out of your stay, whether it’s planning your activities, setting up a fishing trip, or making sure you have the best spot for a sunset. Whatever your vibe, we’ve got it covered.
