Long Mountain Lodge

Welcome to Long Mountain Lodge Bed and Breakfast and Cabin!

Long Mountain Lodge is located on the southwest slope of Long Mountain. Elevation of the Lodge is approximately 2,000 feet. Each of our six rooms offers a view of the mountains. The decor is upscale rustic lodge style. The Great Room features a full two story stone wood-burning fireplace. Also the lodge has a library/game room. Breakfast is served in the dining room by former restaurant owner and chef, Dianne Quigley. Weather permitting breakfast can be served on our screened porch. The front of the Lodge is wrapped by a large sitting porch which affords views of the sun setting over the Blue Ridge Mountains. There are walking trails on the property to two ponds, our waterfall, and perennial gardens.

Fantastic Mountain Views from all the rooms at the Lodge and from the Cabin

Enjoy the western view in the morning as the mist rises over the mountains, during the day with the ever-changing color of the mountains depending on the season,  in the early evening as the sun sets down over the mountains, or in the evening with the beautiful starlight skies.

Guest Comments

"Spectacular is the best description of my experience at the Long Mountain Lodge. I was looking for a restful place, something remote but not too far from Dahlonega, and I was luck in this find. The lodge itself is extremely warm and welcoming with its large great room flowing into the kitchen and dining room. All of the rooms have an exquisite view of the mountains. My room on the lower level was very cozy and romantic with it's fireplace, large bathroom with jaccuzi tub and shower and private porch overlooking the mountains. 

Walking paths directed you to 2 ponds where you could sit and rest, read a book or just listen to the wind bristling through the trees or the water cascading over the small waterfall. Dianne, the owner, was a pleasure to meet and speak with, and oh, what a chef. 

Breakfast was unbelievable with homemade muffins, 

french toast, eggs and sausage, and much more. Small touches were everywhere --- wine and cheese in the late afternoon, plush, plush towels, robes and bedding. And did I mention excellent mattresses? I have back problems and finding great beds are difficult to the say the least on the road. My plan? Return more often and stay much longer!"
