    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.

  • At this time, property access and experiences are limited to registered overnight guests.

  • Professional Photoshoots

    Kingston Downs is a private property, and professional photo shoots are not permitted without prior permission and payment of our property access fee. Professional photoshoots are, but not limited to engagements, family portraits, graduation, prom, homecoming and other situations that may or may not include hiring a third party photographer.

    Our fee is $250 for 3 hours of access for up to 6 people. For a larger group, it's $50/person over.

    Commercial Photography and Filming

    Commercial photography is intended to showcase a product or other commercial interest while filming is specific to film or television productions. Requests must be submitted at least 72 hours in advance to allow us time to review and assess any potential impact on other guests or activities. All commercial photographers and filmmakers must provide proof of liability insurance, with Kingston Downs named as an additional insured party prior to the shoot.

    Fees will be determined on a case-by-case basis, depending on the scope and nature of the shoot.

  • The quality of coverage can vary based on your service provider. However, we find that most carriers have a strong signal across the property.

  • While we're all about getting away from daily life hustle and devices, we acknowledge that sometimes having access to wifi is a necessity. Our cottages have wifi, however our Glamping tents and Clubhouse do not as they are designed to encourage guests to explore the outdoors.

  • We do not allow overnight guests to bring ATV’s to explore the property.

  • Unless it’s part of an organized event, we do not allow personal tents or RV’s on the property.
