Introduction
When at Georgia Lodge you are in the midst of the excitement of Montreat! You will find that the Lodge has a warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Come and share in the fellowship with others while attending Montreat conferences, your own church retreats, a family reunion, or maybe just a weekend away. |

Lodge has a capacity of 28 persons. Each room has electric baseboard
heat. Sheets and towels are provided. All new mattresses were
procured in 1999 and much of the house has been repainted. All of
the seven bathrooms have been renovated within the last six years. A large deck
behind the house is shaded by trees and can accommodate your group for
cook-outs and picnics. Thanks to many generous contributions, the
deck is now connected to the second floor of the house, making loading and
unloading from the parking lot even easier.
A wonderful playground (Robert Lake Park) for children, young and old, is located just across the street from the house.

The present building was built in 1905 as one of the initial buildings in Montreat. It was built by C. E. Graham of Greenville, SC, who helped to finance the founding of Montreat as a 4000 acre conference center. In July 1954, the former Synod of Georgia hastily endorsed the plans of the Women of the Church of the Synod to purchase a Georgia Home in Montreat. The former "Hamilton Lodge" was secured from the Reverend and Mrs. Hugh Hamilton. It was opened as Georgia Home in June 1955 and deeded to the Synod of Georgia. Over the years it was owned and operated by each succeeding synod as the church was restructured.
|
| On January 1, 1999 the
Synod of the South Atlantic deeded the Lodge back to the five
presbyteries
in the State of Georgia, thus coming back full circle to its
beginnings. Today Georgia Lodge is operated by a Board appointed
from each of the five presbyteries.
