For the price we paid…I expected more of an establishment. Very far away from other activities. My first time here. Cabin was ok and restaurant was “plain” for the price.

There are 50 attractions surrounding us which range in distance from 5 to 50 miles. Many are within a 15 mile radius. It sounds like you may have gone into our Hideaway Dining Room instead of our Secret Garden Dining Room which is a special dining room just for couples! My apologies if our staff did not direct you there.

Forest Hills is in a quiet mountain setting surrounded by beautiful peacefulness of nature. Driving in you are greeted by stunning horses and friendly cats near the offices. The rooms are cozy, beds were comfy and staff super friendly and welcoming

Forrest Hills Mountain Resort was a great place for a weekend getaway. The cabin was clean and cozy. It had a hot tub that was absolutely delightful. It is also a popular wedding venue. There are also lodges if you don’t want a cabin. You will not be disappointed.

We loved the views of the mountainsides. The resort has cabins, lodges, and a nice restaurant. There are friendly cats waiting for pettums, and horses waiting to be ridden. It's a peaceful mountain getaway. And "Mo" in reception is a very kind person.

This place was amazing! From the very start checking in, everyone was super friendly and informative. The cabin was the best that I had ever stayed at, the hot tub and the fireplace made for a very nice evening, then waking up and having coffe out on the balcony, with the only sounds that you could hear was the birds chirping. Breakfast was decent also, we will be back for sure!

Resort rip-off in canceling 4 weeks! in advance
I tried to cancel my reservation same day and 4 weeks in advance to no avail. The management was hard to reach, unresponsive with online communication barred for customers seeking to speak with a human. This resort farms out communication to unresponsive thirs parties

You always have to contact the company you booked wtih. If you ever spoke to anyone that wasn't at the resort, you weren't calling the resort. We are a family owned business and always answer our own calls. So sorry that was your experience.

Great people not good hotel!
We arrive and the ladies providing services were awsome. In the restaurant on property, was too pricey for the quality of the food. My chicken was bloody and my Husband meatloaf was not seasoned and each plate over $20.00. We also saw a cockroach when told to the server she killed it and never threw it away. In my room my bed super uncomfortable I wasn’t able to sleep because of of my back pain.

Oh my, so sorry that happened. We are at max capacity due to the holiday and it sounds like our kitchen rushed your meal. I assume they gave you a refund for that. I will follow up on your other concerns. We try to keep our rates as low as possible. It's important to note there is about a 20% tax on accommodations due to our local government.

It was not clean especially bathroom. The twin bed sitting on the wood panel and was not secure. My husband hit his leg on the corner and got hurt. The bathroom was dirty like it hasn't been cleaned for weeks. I am sorry to say I saw hairs on the towel and sink. White scums😣 which I didn't like to see. The staff was there was kind and the breakfast was good.

Stayed here for graduation, and we couldn’t have picked a better place. A short (maybe 20 min) drive to the UNG Dahlonega Campus. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Room was clean, and the cabins are cozy. Would love to have stayed longer to explore everything they have to offer (plenty of things to do!), and plan on coming back!

Disappointed
Of course, I can’t speak for the other rooms. My room was very disappointing. The new furnishings seemed cheap and not very sturdy. There was one little rack to hang clothing, but it wasn’t very substantial. It’s a good thing that my wife and I did not have the need to hang many clothes.So, no closet or wardrobe . The beds were way too soft. Most hotel beds are a compromise between soft and firm, while these were like marshmallows. I suppose most people go with the flow for one or two nights. Sorry. I had to pull the blankets and sheets off of a single bed and sleep on the floor. I could mention a few more things, but I’ll just leave it at this.
