Required Before Arrival

Pet & Service Animal Waivers

Arrival & Departure

Check-in is after 3:00 PM. Check-out is at or before 10:00 AM. If you'll be arriving late, please confirm you've received your cabin's location and door code information in advance. Checking out more than an hour past 10:00 AM will incur a $50 late-checkout fee; this helps us keep cleaning on schedule for the next arrival.

Before You Check Out

We don't expect a deep clean, just a few basics that help our small team turn the cabin around quickly:

  • Rinse dishes and place them in the drying rack
  • Put used bathroom and kitchen linens in the bathtub
  • Tie up your trash and drop it at the bins by the Lodge carport if that's feasible for you. If not, no worries, we'll grab it.

Children

Children are welcome with an accompanying adult. All cabins have some type of stairs, whether inside for a loft or second story, or on the front porch, which could be dangerous for smaller children. Cabins are not child-proofed; please check each space for potential hazards, and reach out to us directly with any concerns.

Pets

With the exception of Dancing Bear, Trailside Retreat, and the main Lodge, our cabins are dog-friendly, with up to 2 dogs per cabin. There's a one-time $50 dog fee (covers up to 2 dogs). If your pup is a good guest, we'll waive this fee on future stays. A pet waiver is required to finalize your stay.

Occupancy & Additional Guests

Reservations are only accepted from responsible adults at least 21 years of age, no exceptions. The guest who books remains responsible for everyone in their party for the full stay. Cabin capacities are set by the listing description; exceeding capacity isn't permitted without advance permission from Misty Mountain.

Rates, Taxes & Fees

Nightly rates move with the season and the cabin, so the calendar is always the accurate source for your dates. On top of the nightly rate, cleaning is charged once per stay, not per night, and Georgia state and Union County taxes are added at booking on the whole total. Nothing here is a surprise at checkout: your full total, with every tax and fee itemized, is shown before you confirm.

Taxes & state fee

Sales & use tax 4% Georgia state + 3% Union County7%
Union County hotel/motel excise tax5%
Georgia state hotel-motel fee per night, first 30 nights$5.00

The two percentages are applied to your nightly rate plus any cleaning and pet fees, so they are calculated on the whole booking rather than the room alone. The $5.00 state fee is charged for each night you stay and stops after 30 nights; a stay of 31 consecutive days or more is treated as an extended-stay rental and is exempt from it. Georgia requires all three on every reservation, so they apply whether you book with us directly or through a site like Airbnb or VRBO.

Dancing Bear the largest cabin$60
Any cabin, stays of 3 nights or more$60

Payment & Cancellation

  • Must be added at the time of booking

  • Only the amount already paid at cancellation is eligible

Quiet Time

We ask every guest to help minimize noise throughout the day, and to honor an 11 PM–7:30 AM quiet period so everyone gets the chance to rest.

Fireplaces, TV & Internet

All cabins have wood-burning fireplaces, seasonally available October 1 through April 1. Seasoned firewood is sometimes available for purchase on-site or locally. Please don't forage wood from the surrounding woods. Basic TV programming is provided through Dish, and cabins are equipped with internet suitable for most streaming needs, though cellular reception can't be guaranteed.

Smoking & Alcohol

All cabins are strictly non-smoking indoors; smoking is allowed on porches and decks (please dispose of cigarette butts properly). By Georgia law, no alcohol for anyone under 21, and no house parties. Violations mean immediate eviction with loss of all money paid.

Wildlife

Deer, coyote, bear, turkey, and the usual North Georgia mountain insects may be encountered. There's no refund for the presence of typical local wildlife.

Maintenance & Repairs

For after-hours emergencies (no heat, no water, a safety issue), call the number provided at check-in. Non-emergency issues (TV, gas fireplace, etc.) should be called in during business hours. For a medical emergency, call 911. Misty Mountain can't guarantee against mechanical failure of HVAC, TVs, or Wi-Fi, but we'll work to resolve any issue as quickly as possible.

Arrival & Departure

Check-in is any time after 3:00 PM. We ask that you plan to arrive by 8:00 PM if possible, and let us know in advance if you'll be later. Checkout is at 10:00 AM.

Children

Trackrock Hollow Lodge isn't equipped to accept children under 13, unless you've booked the entire Lodge.

Pets

Because most rooms have carpet, pets aren't permitted at the Lodge. We happily accommodate ADA service animals. Please review our service animal statement and waiver, linked above.

Occupancy & Additional Guests

Reservations are only accepted from responsible adults at least 21 years of age, no exceptions. Rates are for single or double occupancy unless otherwise stated; no more than two people or one bed per room. No outside visitors after 10 PM who aren't staying at the Inn.

Smoking & Alcohol

All rooms are strictly non-smoking; smoking is allowed by the pond only. Smoking indoors or on room patios results in a $350 special cleaning fee. By Georgia law, no alcohol for anyone under 21, and no house parties. Violations mean immediate eviction with loss of all money paid.

Septic & Housekeeping

Please only flush the toilet paper provided. No feminine hygiene products or foreign objects. Guests may be charged for damage caused by misuse. There's no daily housekeeping; one set of towels and linens is included, but missing or damaged items are charged at replacement value.

EV Charging

EV charging isn't permitted anywhere on the property. Our electrical systems aren't set up for it, and unauthorized charging creates real safety and load concerns. A $30 charge applies if detected. Public charging is available a few miles away in Blairsville, Young Harris, Hiawassee, and Helen. Check PlugShare or ChargePoint before you arrive.

Hot Tub

Our 4–5 person hot tub is in a shared common area, open 1:00–10:00 PM daily when in season (September 1–January 5; closed January 6–March 15). Not for children under 13 or infants. Please shower before use, wear only clean swimwear, keep the cover latched when unsupervised, and never use the tub under the influence of alcohol or drugs. No glass, ever.

Gatherings, Owner Access & Wildlife

Guests may not hold meetings, ceremonies, or gatherings without advance coordination with Misty Mountain. Owners or designated agents may access the property for repairs, emergencies, or inspection, with as much notice as reasonably possible. As with the cabins, deer, coyote, bear, and typical North Georgia wildlife may be encountered on the property. There's no refund for their presence.
