The Spotlight on Barefoot Hills

Peaceful Mountain Escape for Music Lovers

Modern rustic charm meets Appalachian serenity at Barefoot Hills, tucked away in the scenic hills of Dahlonega, Georgia. Just a short drive from local music festivals and intimate concert venues, this cozy retreat offers a laid-back vibe with stunning mountain views, homey accommodations, and a welcoming communal atmosphere. Whether you’re road-tripping for a show or making a weekend of it, this spot blends nature with convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Barefoot Hills is a favorite among concert fans seeking a quiet place to recharge after a night out. Located about 20–30 miles from event spaces like Helen Festhalle and Smithgall Woods, it's close enough to catch a show but far enough for a peaceful night’s sleep. The concierge service is helpful for navigating the area, and there's ample free parking if you're driving between venues. While there's no late-night shuttle, the calm, rural setting is ideal if you're looking to unwind in nature after the encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want to split a cabin-style room and enjoy the outdoors
  • Solo travelers chasing a bucket-list gig and a quiet retreat
  • Couples pairing a concert with a romantic escape
  • Fans needing recovery time in a low-noise, scenic setting
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value-packed lodging with character

Food and Drink Options

While Barefoot Hills doesn’t offer full-service dining, some rooms include kitchens equipped with a fridge, oven, and dishwasher—perfect for late-night snacks. You’ll find local eateries just a short drive away in downtown Dahlonega. There’s also an on-site bar for a nightcap and a shared lounge where guests often gather.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, it’s close to local wine bars and rustic taverns in Dahlonega and Helen. After a show, enjoy a relaxed drink on the terrace or head into town for a taste of North Georgia’s craft drinks scene.

What People Say

Guests rave about the beautiful setting, clean accommodations, and friendly staff. The property’s peaceful vibe and mountain views are often highlighted, as is the ability to hike or cycle nearby. Many say it’s a great balance between rustic charm and modern comfort.

Areas for Improvement

Early risers might love it, but the 8:00 AM check-out could feel a bit early after a late-night show. Also, while the quiet location is a dream for some, it may be too remote for those wanting a more buzzing post-concert scene.

The Bottom Line

If you’re catching a show near Dahlonega and want a peaceful, mountain retreat to relax afterward, Barefoot Hills is a smart, scenic choice.

Good stay

Liked: Polite and helpful staff. Clean linens. Board games provided in the room. Air condition. A lot of small towels. Chairs outside next to the entrance door. Located reasonable distance from Dagloheda and also very close to both Woody gap trailhead and mountain crossing for Appalachian trail hike lovers.
Disliked: Internet one day works stable. The other day falls down every 30-60 seconds. The staff did all the best to help but looks like the technical issues result in this instability during peak hours.

Liked: Great people that work there! Host was really sweet and help when I visited with my wife. Room was so cute! The treak up to the rooms were kinda strenuous but if ur in good shape it should be easy. Showers was hot and it was so peaceful and relaxing. Will be returning soon!
Disliked: Only downside was the little hike up to the rooms but not their fault! It is in the woods

Noisy trash..stay away!!!!

Liked: Bed was comfortable
Disliked: Shower was about to fall through the floor, coffee pot didn't work, window shades didn't fit and you could see into the cabin, outside string lights stayed on all night making it hard to sleep. But all of that pales in comparison to the obnoxious noise of the road right behind the cabin of constant motorcycles riding past. Don't waste your money on this trash.

Stay at Barefoot

Liked: Scenery
Disliked: The people next to us had dogs. The dogs barked at us every time we were outside our room. The dogs were often left unattended while their owners were gone. I was under the impression that pets were allowed under supervision.

Breathtaking views with quiet and...

Liked: The view was breathtaking. We loved the bed and the quiet after a long drive. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We were just passing through but would love to come back.
Disliked: Nothing could have been better. Everything was perfect. I wish they had a hot tub rather than a fire pit overlooking the mountains but that's not a dislike just something that would have made it even better.
