Stone Mountain,
Georgia offers an eclectic mix of accommodations – something to suit everyone’s taste and budget. The State Park features two excellent resort hotels. The first is situated in a quiet location with magnificent views of Stone Mountain. This particular inn is a replica of a 19th century plantation full of Old South antebellum charm. It includes an onsite restaurant, outdoor swimming pool; superior appointed rooms, a small ballroom and two meeting rooms. The other inn features 92 rooms decorated in a colonial style and sits right in the middle of the park. It offers a Southern-style restaurant, meeting rooms, and is just steps away from Stone Mountain’s exciting attractions such as the laser show, The Great Barn and Crossroads. This inn is available for weddings and many people find it a quaint, charming place to hold their ceremony and reception.
In the village of Stone Mountain are two beautiful bed & breakfast inns. One is a carefully preserved, yet updated inn from the 1820s nestled in the heart of Stone Mountain Village. It features six guestrooms, fireplaces, full Southern-style breakfast, cable TV, telephones, and whirlpool tubs in all rooms. The other inn is a family owned and operated reproduction of a Southern Plantation. All the rooms in this inn come with private baths, 3 have Jacuzzis, and there is a swimming pool and spa on the premises. If you prefer staying in a more family-oriented hotel or motel, the Stone Mountain region has many to choose from. Located just 3 miles from the Park is a hotel that is part of a well-known national chain that offers tastefully decorated rooms with full amenities to suit many different tastes. Staying in the city of Atlanta is another option, which is just a short ten or fifteen minute drive from Stone Mountain Park.
