Travel tips

If you book a cabin, confirm whether it is a dry cabin (no in-unit restroom or shower) and plan to use the bathhouse facilities by the office. The property is in Bishop, so expect to drive to Athens attractions such as the State Botanical Garden of Georgia (about 11.8 km) and the Georgia Museum of Art (about 16.1 km). For busy weekends in Athens (including football weekends), booking ahead is a practical idea based on guest travel patterns.
