Huntley Lodge

We were here from a company retreat. Wow. Beautiful. The caretakers were beyond kind and helpful. There’s are amazing amenities. Hot tub, pool, huge outdoor with gas grills. Lots of privacy. This place is perfect for weddings, retreats or reunions. Book early

I stayed here as a guest so I’ll review from that perspective alone. My friends rented it for a wedding and they had some issues with the reservation and cost, but they can write about that if they choose.
The lodge sleeps 32. We were in a cabin with our friends; they took the full bed, my husband and I each got a bed and I think the couch was a fold out bed too. There is a curtain between the full bed and the two beds in the alcove. The sheets were soft, the towels clean, the mini fridge and microwave worked, so no problems. The bathroom is old and the fan sounds like a train, everybody woke up whenever anybody got up to pee at night due to the fan noise. Be careful with the teak mats; they are HUGE and easy to trip over. The bathroom drawers weren’t on sliders and fell out any time they were pulled out too far. There isn’t much light in the room. Big closet and nice hangers helped with all our wedding finery. Shoes off inside requested, which is how we live so that wasn’t a problem. We were in the cowboy cabin. The art above the toilet is absolutely frightening. Cowboy and horse plunging to their deaths, hanging on by a mere thread (or cow) to life. Yuck. Gave me nightmares. We were awoken on Sunday to a dog barking INCESSANTLY starting at 530 am. We tried to go back to sleep. We bugged out at 630 am since we were all awake. The dog was still barking when we left.
There is a main cabin with dishwasher, washer and dryer (the dryer doesn’t work well and would randomly be hard to start or turn itself off), stoves, lots of plates, cups, etc. There are at least 6 jars of cinnamon but no hot sauce. You really don’t need to bring anything but booze and food. There’s an outside kitchen too and lots of pans, baking sheets, utensils. It’s hard to find everything you need at first but eventually it’s all gathered. The cookware wasn’t really clean, we had to wash everything before using and we washed it after using but it remained slightly sticky, I think just from a lot of use. There’s a TV in the outside kitchen. The main lodge has a TV upstairs for movies, game stations, a tiny gym, a little office.
What the place doesn’t have is wifi or cell service. Sure, they say there is wifi but it doesn’t work. Its sooooo slow, the more people using it the slower it gets, and towards the end of the stay it was completely unusable. Just assume you wont have wifi or internet or cell phones there. It’s a retreat from technology.
We didn’t use the pool or hot tub. Both looked fine. Kids used them and enjoyed them.
Our stay was completely comfortable. If you are looking for a rustic wedding, where your guests and family can just hang out and cook, or a company retreat but don’t need technology, it’s a great place.
It is hard to find. When you pass the Tenaway River sign GO SLOW, it will be on your right, around a bend. You’ll miss it the first time, there’s a turn around about half a mile further on your right.
