The Cottages at Smithgall Woods Review
As part of a 5,600-acre park run by the state of Georgia, these five cottages, set in old-growth hardwoods, offer a peaceful retreat. The centerpiece is a two-story, four-bedroom cabin constructed of Montana lodge-pole pine. Dukes Creek, one of the best trout streams in Georgia, runs through the park. The cottages are often booked for executive retreats, so call ahead.
