Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort

Peaceful Lakeside Comfort, Just Outside the City Buzz

Modern comfort meets natural beauty at the Atlanta Evergreen Lakeside Resort, nestled in the scenic forest of Stone Mountain Park. This laid-back resort offers a serene escape with cozy, traditionally furnished rooms, each with floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies overlooking lush landscapes. Only 16 miles from downtown Atlanta and just off Highway 78, it’s a breezy drive to major music venues—making it a smart, relaxing pick for concert-goers who prefer to rest easy after the encore.

Why Concert-goers love it

Guests love the quiet, wooded setting that feels like a retreat after a high-energy show. Its location makes it easy to head into Atlanta for concerts, then back for a peaceful night’s sleep. The hotel’s indoor and outdoor heated pools are perfect for a late-night wind-down, and flexible check-in at 4:00 PM allows time to get settled and ready before the show. While it's not in the heart of downtown, its proximity to Highway 78 means quick access to venues without the city noise.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for an affordable base with nature vibes
Solo travelers wanting a calm space to recharge after a bucket-list concert
Couples planning a romantic concert getaway

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers several tasty options to satisfy your appetite after the encore. Waterside Restaurant serves breakfast (buffet or à la carte depending on volume), while The Commons offers lunch and dinner with views of Stone Mountain. For lighter fare or a quick caffeine fix, Mountain Brew Café has coffee and snacks. While there’s no 24/7 dining, the options on-site are convenient and satisfying, especially after a late night.

Nightlife Options

While the resort itself leans toward relaxation over revelry, it’s just a short drive from downtown Atlanta’s lively bar and club scene. After the concert, you can either head out for more fun or return to the resort for a quiet drink with a view. No live music in-house, but the peaceful lakeside atmosphere is a welcome contrast to the concert crowds.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the beautiful surroundings and spacious rooms with balconies. Many reviewers note how it feels like a true getaway while still being close to the city. The friendly staff, scenic walking trails, and pools get regular shoutouts, as does the relaxing atmosphere that’s perfect after a big event.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the decor feels a bit dated, and the resort's location means you’ll likely need a car or rideshare to get to and from concerts. If you're looking for a party vibe or walkability to nightlife, this may not be your top pick—but for those who value peace and comfort, it hits the right notes.

The Bottom Line

A laid-back, nature-filled stay that gives concert-goers a refreshing retreat after a night of music in the city.
