Cottages at Smithgall Woods State Park

The Cottages at Smithgall Woods are the perfect, idyllic location for your next mountain getaway. Whether you are a couple looking to retreat, or a large group ready to celebrate, there are many options to choose from. Intimate, one-bedroom cottages offer wood burning stoves, king-size beds and hot tubs. On the grander scale, all six cottages may be reserved for a total of 17 bedrooms - each with their own key, phone and television - ideal for weddings and corporate events. There is a large field for ceremonies or activities, a fireplace (wood provided) in every living room and the sound of rushing waters on every porch.

The most unique feature about the cottages at Smithgall Woods is the setting. Located at the end of a one-mile scenic drive off the highway, the cottages are spaced and scattered in the Dukes Creek Valley in the middle of a Southern Appalachian Wilderness. All cottages have been recently renovated and modernized and our guest services will assist with any of your needs. Wander amongst our botanical garden, fly fish right out your door or take a 1-mile stroll to the magnificent Dukes Creek Falls. You’ll never want to leave, but always want to come back.

A favorite for the quick-access fishing trip, Parkside Cottage is located nearby the Visitor Center. Although seemingly a world away, downtown Helen and the historic Nacoochee Valley sites are a quick jaunt down the road. Though a skip up the path from the other cottages, do not hesitate to ask our concierge for more ice to keep your drinks cold.
