Two ways up the mountain.

Pick the one that sounds like you. The rest of the page rearranges itself.

One group.
One ridge. Nothing in the way.

Trembly Bald is a single campus of historic log structures — most of them raised in the 1700s and 1800s and moved here, timber by timber, to a ridge in the Georgia foothills. Ten sleeping cabins, a chapel and a great lodge sit along two gravel loops, close enough to walk between and far enough apart to feel alone.

We host one retreat at a time. Facilitators get the whole mountain: every cabin, the dining hall, the chapel, the trails, and a team that has run the grounds for you before you arrive.

Planning figures below come from the supplied property information. We confirm usable spaces, bed layouts and permitted guest counts for each booking.

The whole mountain, held for you.

For facilitators, teachers and organizers who want a place their people will remember — and a team that has already thought about the details.

Bring a group of up to forty-eight. You take every cabin on the campus, the Lodge's dining hall and great room, the Chapel for sessions and ceremony, and the trails, springs and creek that run through the property. We handle turnover, grounds and logistics so your schedule stays yours.

Cabin stays

A cabin with room to slow down.

Choose the space that fits your stay. We’ll confirm access to shared grounds and amenities with your quote.

These are not rooms. Each one is a whole log house — hand-hewn timber from the 1700s and 1800s, its own porch, its own hearth, its own quiet. When no retreat is on the calendar we open individual cabins to guests, and whoever is up here has the ridge, the springs, the waterfall trail and the fire ring largely to themselves.

Before you come up

Good to know

When cabins are open

Availability is checked manually around retreat bookings. Send your dates and preferred cabin; an inquiry does not hold dates or confirm a reservation.

What's up here

A waterfall trail, natural springs, a fire ring, and porches that face the ridgeline. No restaurant, no store, no cell service worth the name. Bring groceries; Toccoa is fifteen minutes down the mountain.

Who it suits

Couples, a pair of friends, a small family, a writer who needs a week alone. If you're bringing more than eight people, you probably want the whole property — that's the other path.

A history moved by hand

Logs numbered, one by one.

The centerpiece of the campus is an inn built around 1775 on the General's Road near Antreville, South Carolina — a road named for Revolutionary War general Andrew Pickens, travelled by Vice President John C. Calhoun.

In the mid-1980s the inn was taken apart, every log numbered, and rebuilt on this ridge by Gene and Rita Watson, who gathered structures from the 1700s and 1800s into a single mountain retreat. Its twelve-inch hand-hewn, dovetailed logs still show the marks of the axe and adze. The resort's main road carries the name of Private Zackariah Pulliam, a Revolutionary soldier whose grave was found on the adjoining farm.

  • c. 1775The Stagecoach Inn — the “Temple of Health” — is raised near Antreville, SC.
  • 1986–87Disassembled, numbered and rebuilt on Trembly Bald alongside cabins from the 1700s and 1800s.
  • Sept 13, 1987The resort opens to the public; a few hundred visitors attend the dedication.
  • 2026New stewardship. Campus One restored for retreats; four more campuses planned across the 125 acres.
