SugarBOOYAH! Let’s Go Glamping!

New to the outdoors, but loving it and want a little more? Thinking about camping, but nervous about bears, bugs and bad weather (oh my!)?

Fear no more! Come on out to Sugarboo, and give glamping a try! What is “glamping?” Think of it as “luxury camping.” You’ll have all the wonders of the outdoors surrounding you day and night, but rather than dragging a bunch of gear out into the woods, you’ll retire to your private cabin at night, bringing with you just a few essentials.

Sugarboo is a 22 acre organic farm and event facility located in the north Georgia mountains. This gorgeous property is nestled in a valley adjacent to the Chattahoochee National Forest and offers a variety of mixed use trails (hike & bike) open for exploring. Nearby is Brasstown Bald for those who want a tougher hike with an amazing view before relaxing in the lodge at night. You might also want to visit the local farmer's market to pick up some fresh produce or artisan foods. We'll be sampling some of them with our brunches.

The farm offers “farm stuff” like beautiful, organic gardens and friendly farm critters. Be sure to say “hi” to Shug, the potbellied pig or the goat collective. You’re welcome to spend the day wandering the farm or adjacent trails on foot or on your mountain bike, or just chillaxing.

After getting a good workout in the mountains, enjoy one of the luxury shower facilities before jumping into the saltwater pool or hot tub. NOTE: NO GLASS BY THE POOL!!!

Your trip cost includes two gourmet brunches provided by Chef Nancy, a local treasure. (Seriously, this woman can cook!) You’re on your own for lunch and snacks, but you will have a fully equipped professional kitchen to help you prepare your own meals. At night, we’ll gather in the lodge to watch the sun go down and enjoy a group meal. Be sure to bring a dish to share each night for dinner. Alternately, you can head into Blairsville or another nearby town for dinner... but you probably won't want to leave the farm once you get there. :)

The dining hall in the lodge offers incredible views at sunset. The patio opens out to a large veranda which has a firepit and over a dozen comfy Adirondack chairs, making it the ideal place for gathering with friends and relaxing with a frosty beverage at the end of the day. After hours, we can use the big, cushy bean bags and enjoy movies on the lawn.

But if big groups aren’t your thing, feel free to steal away on your own and enjoy a campfire by the cottages, instead, or bring your hammock and set it up next to the stream for a peaceful sleep under the trees.

Sleeping Arrangements: Sugarboo offers 15 small, private cabins, each with at least one queen size bed. Several cabins offer bunk beds that sleep at least 4 people. Beds are first come, first served (based on occupancy; a room that CAN sleep 4 will NOT go to a single person or couple.) All have electrical outlets, fans, heat, and full screens on the adjustable shuttered windows that encompass the cabin. Each group of cabins offers a bathouse with toilets and a sanitizing station, but the lodge is “Where it’s at” for the best shower ever! If you prefer, you may bring your tent or hammock, but the rates will be the same.

*Sunday morning, you will need to tidy up your cabin, and leave the sheets on the bed.

PS-Musicians welcome! There’s nothing quite like live music by the campfire at night while surrounded by the mountains, so be sure to bring your instruments! (We're talking to YOU, Billy G. and Chris H!)
