✨ The Refuge Ranch Experience

We host personally and take pride in offering a 5-star experience. This is more than a rental—it’s a peaceful escape designed for connection, celebration, and unforgettable memories.
Reach out with any questions—we’re happy to help you plan your visit or event at Refuge Ranch!


BOOKING IMPLIES CONSENT TO ADHERE TO, AND BE BOUND BY, ALL HOUSE RULES.

PLEASE treat our farm with the same respect that you do your own home.
The home is a non-smoking and recreational drug-free space. Do not smoke cigarettes, vapes, or cigars while in the home. +A fee of $500 is charged if we identify that someone smoked in the residence.

Only guests who are on the original booking are allowed to stay overnight.

Parties are PROHIBITED.

Large gatherings are PROHIBITED- UNLESS BOOKED AS AN EVENT. FEES WILL APPLY.

EVENT SPACE AVAILABLE (WEDDINGS/FAMILY REUNIONS/CORPORATE GATHERINGS) - PLEASE INQUIRE.

Refuge Ranch is a family-oriented and child-friendly home. However, children and infants must be under active supervision by a parent or guardian at all times. All responsibility and duty of care for them must be provided by you, including their equipment and needs.

Do I need to rent a car?
Refuge Ranch sits about 45 minutes from the Atlanta Airport; therefore, we recommend renting a car if you plan on traveling to local areas such as downtown Atlanta. Ensure that you book your car at the airport that you travel through.

Must Climb Stairs:
To access the home, there is a small threshold. To access the two additional bedrooms, you will encounter a set of two stairs.

ATTENTION NON-AMBULATORY/SPECIAL NEEDS GUESTS:
While most of the Lodge is accessible by wheelchair, please provide us with advanced notice of your needs since our wheelchair ramp for the lower level stairs (2) is portable and only put into place upon request. The ramp makes the two downstairs guest rooms and sitting area more easily accessible.
THANK YOU for allowing us to host your trip to The Lodge! Booking the Lodge implies consent to adhere to, and agreement to be bound by, the following rules:

1. Check-in time is 4:00 p.m. or later. Checkout time is 10:00 a.m. Please advise us of your ETA to the Lodge at your earliest convenience so we can ensure the gate is unlocked.

2. The smart lock for this property will be programmed with a 4-digit code which we will provide to you in advance of your arrival at the Lodge. In the rare event that your code does not work, please contact me at the number provided. When you arrive at the Lodge, the gate will either be open for you or closed and "dummy" locked. Simply open the gate and drive up to the carport.

3. There will be a set of keys on the bar top in the kitchen along with a copy of the House Rules. The front door key also opens the laundry room door at the rear of the Lodge. In the event you leave the Lodge and wish to lock the gate behind you (we usually do and prefer that you lock it as well), there is a gate key on the key chain.

4. UNAUTHORIZED EVENTS (I.E. PARTIES) WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION OF YOUR RESERVATION AND LOSS OF ALL FEES PAID. Additionally, we reserve the right to assess an additional "event fee" of between $1,000 and $2,500 to guests who host unauthorized events on our property. We do allow events, but these must be scheduled in advance, approved, and will incur the appropriate fees for the event, including NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSITS.

5. DO NOT PARK ON THE GRASS OR IN THE FRONT OR BACK YARDS.

6. Quiet hours are from 12:00 a.m. (midnight) until 7:00 a.m. seven (7) days/week.

7. There is a large supply of seasoned firewood in the firewood rack on the carport. Use as much as you'd like for the fireplace and firepit. If you use the fireplace, please FIRST make sure to PUSH open the fireplace damper ALL THE WAY IN before lighting a fire. There are fire starter sticks on the wood rack to the left of the fireplace. After starting your fire, close or replace the mesh grill to prevent smoke from entering the Lodge. If you smoke up the great room, just open the doors until the smoke dissipates and enjoy your fire! The fire box is equipped with a blower, and the switch is to the left of the fire box. Once your fire is going, it will heat the whole house (cool, but unnecessary).

8. SMOKING CIGARETTES/CIGARS/PIPES OR ANYTHING ELSE INSIDE THE LODGE IS PROHIBITED. If you smoke outside, please do NOT smoke near open doors or windows, and properly dispose of your cigarette butts.

9. If you smoke indoors, we will impose (AND YOU AGREE TO PAY) a $500 fee to fumigate the Lodge. Smoke from cigarettes/cigars/pipes and illegal substances smells entirely different than smoke from the fireplace.

10. If you bring a dog and do not disclose it, you will be billed an additional $200. Cats are NOT permitted inside the Lodge. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Your dog must be kept under control while you are a Guest at the Lodge and on Lodge property. This means if your dog must be on a leash/lead while outside. Dogs may NOT be left unattended inside the Lodge. If they are not crated, there is a secure outdoor kennel with doggie door access from the laundry room. Dogs are NOT allowed to roam the Lodge property. Booking guest is responsible for any/all damage caused by their dog(s).

11. Do not place suitcases on the beds or furniture. There are luggage racks in the closet of each bedroom for your luggage.

12. The TVs have DISH Network and are all Wi-Fi enabled.

13. Wi-Fi is via fiber optic high-speed internet (2 GB). The smart TVs are connected in the event you wish to log into Netflix or any other of your own accounts. The Wi-Fi guest password is: RefugeGuest!

14. If you use the futon for sleeping, please slide it AWAY FROM THE WALL about 1 foot before opening it and laying it flat.

15. Our farm requires a lot of work to maintain, so it is probable that a farm worker or family member may pass through the back yard on their way to retrieve equipment. If you need anything during your stay, reach out and they will assist you.

16. Our property contains a professional firing range. We only permit supervised use of the firing range by our guests and the area
