When is the best time to visit The Lodge?
Anytime is a wonderful time to visit The Lodge. Depending on the season, guests can enjoy the brisk breeze and warm fireplace, the changing colors of the leaves, spring time and the blooming cherry trees and azaleas or the warm Southern sun and lake activities.
- During Winter, guests can enjoy the crisp breeze while enjoying hot coffee, warm and cozy by the outdoor fire pit or inside by the massive fire place listening to lobby lounge entertainment.
- Spring brings beautiful flora and fauna to the area, where bird watching and strolling through the nature trails is a highly anticipated activity of the day.
- Summer brings family to the lake where boating, swimming and water sports delight and excite all ages and brings the spirit of endless summer back to life.
- With the fall season approaching, leaves begin to change to vibrant colors, the breeze cools down and chiminea dinners by the lake become a romantic tradition for all to enjoy.
What are the unique features about The Ritz-Carlton Lodge?
From the secluded location away from all major cities and located on the lazy, shimmering shores of Lake Oconee away from salt water, The Ritz-Carlton Lodge is unique in its architecture, landscaping and activities, all highlighted by Southern hospitality.
- Designed with the beauty of nature in mind, the structure is composed with exteriors of fieldstone, cedar shake shingles and cupolas and complimented by interiors of slate floors, open beam ceilings, antler chandeliers and stacked stone fireplaces.
- The Lodge camp fire located just outside of Georgia's restaurant is live with excitement in the evenings, when the s'mores celebration begins and Ladies and Gentlemen gather outdoors to experience complimentary s'mores with fresh made lemonade and tea.
- Accommodations include six separate two and three bedroom cottages with stone porches that overlook the 18th green of The Oconee Course and The Presidential House with four master suites with lake views and a private heated pool.
