Frequently asked questions

Can we book both properties?

Yes! Even though our Landscape Hideaways only accommodate 2 people each, we realize there are times when you might want to stay near another couple, such as attending a wedding in North Georgia or a fun wine tasting weekend with friends. Please reach out to us info@love-adventures.com about booking multiples for the same dates.

Can we book more than one year out?

Absolutely! Even if a date appears unavailable on our calendar more than a year in advance, we encourage you to email us at info@love-adventures.com to inquire—especially for proposals, elopements, honeymoons, or vow renewal celebrations. Be sure to ask about transportation options from venues to our property, as well as our partnership with Small Wedding Experts here in North Georgia for planning a personalized elopement or vow renewal ceremony on-site.

How private are your Landscape Hideaways?

Our property spans 60 acres of forest, featuring a beautiful year-round creek and private hiking trails. The nearest Landscape Hideaway is about 250 feet away, but with a different elevation, you’re unlikely to see your neighbor. All of our decks face west, offering stunning views with little to no visibility of others. Outdoor showers are designed with frosted or slatted walls to ensure maximum privacy.

Do you have on-site bathrooms, air conditioning and heat?

Absolutely! Imagine a beautiful hotel room nestled in nature, complete with all the modern comforts you could wish for. Our goal is to create a romantic, cozy, and comfortable retreat where everything you need is at your fingertips, so you can focus on each other. Each unit features an ensuite bathroom with a flush toilet, plus both indoor and outdoor showers with a tankless hot water heater. For year-round comfort, all rooms are equipped with heating and air conditioning.

How do your wood burning hot tubs work?

Our aluminum and cedar-clad wood-burning hot tubs are private and filled with fresh water at the start of each stay. In warmer months, we fill them with cold water so you can enjoy a refreshing dip or heat them up at your own pace. During cooler months, we often start with warm water to help speed up the heating process. Each tub comfortably fits two people and features an internal stove where the wood slowly warms the water. The roughly 90-minute heating process is a full sensory experience—you’ll hear the wood crackle, smell the fire, stir the water, and feel it gradually come to the perfect temperature. Easy-to-follow instructions are provided to help you get your hot tub perfectly toasty.

Do you provide firewood for the wood burning hot tubs and smokeless fire pits?

Yes, we provide all the firewood you will need, including kindling, fire-starter and logs. We supply you with enough for a 2-3 days stay however, if you need more, we have a larger rack of firewood between our Landscape Hideaways to draw from.

What is your property like in the winter and summer?

We personally think winter is one of the best times to visit. While spring and fall are breathtaking, winter offers unobstructed views without the leaves and the added magic of snowflakes. Plus, there’s nothing quite like soaking in our wood-burning hot tubs when it’s chilly outside! Summer brings its own charm—stroll along (or wade in) the creek, where the water is at least 10 degrees cooler than the air, take a dip in our “swimming hole” or outdoor tubs, and enjoy nearby kayaking on the Etowah River.

Are there bears and other wildlife on your property?

While we’ve never spotted a bear in person, trail cameras have captured them on our property, and their paw prints do appear from time to time. Thankfully, North Georgia black bears are generally shy and keep to themselves. It’s very important to not leave trash or food outside, as bears are attracted to food smells (we have bear-proof trash containers at the front of the property). If you do encounter a bear, making loud noise will usually encourage it to move along. Deer are the most common wildlife here, followed by wild turkeys and the occasional beaver.

Can we bring our dog?

While we understand how much our dogs are a part of the family, we are not allowing pups at our landscape hideaways at this time. Our hope is that you can escape together for a romantic and duty-free stay that focuses on one another. We realize this means finding someone to care for your four-legged friend. There is a nearby boarding kennel called Happy Dog Retreat in Dawsonville that we personally recommend. You can even consider picking them up during the day for a hike at nearby Amicalola State Park, and then take them back to board for the night. They offer 10% off for all LoveAdventures guests!

Can we bring our kids?

Not this time. Our Landscape Hideaways only sleep two people and we are an adult (strictly 21 and over), couple-focused stay. We want to encourage you to take a grown-up “time out” and make this stay about just the two of you.

Are you handicap accessible?

Our existing landscape hideaways are not handicap accessible. Unfortunately, our steep terrain does not allow for it. We hope, however, that one of our next builds will have ADA options.

Is there a place to do laundry?

Yes, in our Landscape Hideaway called “Better Together,” there is a washer and dryer.

Is there Wi-Fi and cell service on property?

Yes, we do. While we encourage guests to unplug and enjoy the peace of nature—and each other—you’ll still have access to Wi-Fi and cell service on the property. Just keep in mind that, being in the country, cell reception can occasionally be a bit spotty. And as a heads-up, we intentionally do not have televisions on the property.

How far is downtown Dahlonega from your property?

Downtown Dahlonega is just a quick 15-minute drive from our property. We’re tucked away in historic Auraria—the site of Georgia’s first gold rush—and some of the trails on our land even follow old hydraulic mining channels. It truly offers the best of both worlds: close to town, wineries, breweries, restaurants, and Amicalola State Park (30 minutes), yet still feels like a peaceful escape worlds away.

Can I have an early check-in or late check-out?

We’re happy to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs when possible. If there isn’t a reservation directly before or after your stay, we may be able to offer one upon request for a small fee. Our standard check-in time is 3 PM, and check-out is by 11 AM.

Is there food available on-site?

While we don’t offer an on-site restaurant, you’re encouraged to bring your favorite ingredients—cooking a meal together can be wonderfully romantic. Nearby, you’ll find a Publix in Dawsonville and both Walmart and Publix in Dahlonega. Just a few minutes away is a DG Market, which stocks ice, groceries, toiletries, and essentials.

Your hideaway is equipped with an under-counter refrigerator, a Yeti cooler, an induction cooktop, toaster oven, microwave, and a propane grill—everything you need for easy meal prep. You’re also just a short drive from fantastic restaurants and nearby wineries. For an elevated stay, we offer concierge services upon request, including grocery pick-up, restaurant and winery reservations, an on-site chef, on-site massage, and more.

What should I bring?

Bring your groceries (we provide salt, pepper, sugar, olive oil and coffee), rain jacket, and hiking boots. We provide all linens, kitchen items and dinnerware, induction cookware, Moccamaster (a fan fave “pour-over style” drip coffee maker), French press, water kettle, countertop ice maker, cooler, wood-splitter, insect repellent, walking poles, binoculars, robes, hairdryer and shower products.

Is the artwork on the walls available for purchase?

Yes! The artwork is by an Atlanta artist (and our son!) who specializes in fine art and film photography. You can find his work at caleblebourgeois.com or on IG @caleblebourgeois.
