Barnsley Resort

A 3,000-acre resort with a 55-room inn and cottages ranging from one to seven bedrooms, plus golf, spa, lake and outdoor activities.

Official Red Top Mountain cabin photograph; exact cottage and availability vary
50 Lodge Road SE, Acworth; Bartow County

Red Top Mountain State Park Cottages

Twenty state-park cottages on Lake Allatoona, with hiking, fishing, boat access and a separate campground and yurt inventory. The park is listed as open year-round, but book the exact cottage through Georgia State Parks and recheck seasonal facility notices. Most advance cottage reservations require two nights; standard cottage check-in is 4–10 p.m. and check-out is 11 a.m. A ParkPass is separate from the lodging reservation. The retained photograph is an official Red Top Mountain cabin image rather than evidence of the layout, accessibility or availability of every cottage.
