Honoring the Past and Celebrating the Future

---

The story of Forrest Hills Resort is one woven with grit, heart, and an unwavering belief in creating a place of peaceful retreat. In 1977, two siblings were literally dropped off on the land that would become Forrest Hills Resort with the mission of building a mountain getaway from the ground up. With little more than determination, vision, and hard work, they began constructing the property—one beam, one beam and one dream at a time.

The resort’s name itself has a meaningful origin.
“Forrest” was chosen intentionally, symbolizing For Rest—a place where guests could step away from stress and return to themselves.

Over the years, that intention has remained unchanged. Forrest Hills Resort has grown into a beloved retreat known for its charming cabins, serene views, romantic escapes, and warm, welcoming atmosphere that feels like home.

Massage therapy has been part of Forrest Hills Resort for more than two decades, offering guests a sanctuary for relaxation, healing, and reconnection. Generations of visitors have come to the property to unwind with a soothing Swedish massage, renew with deep tissue work, or reconnect during a couples massage—one of the resort’s most requested experiences. 

While massage at Forrest Hills has deep roots, the spa itself has entered a new era.

The Haven has been thoughtfully redesigned to better support modern wellness while honoring the peaceful, grounding spirit that has always defined Forrest Hills. As a leading spa in Dahlonega, The Haven now offers an elevated menu of therapeutic services designed to restore balance, calm the nervous system, and help guests feel deeply renewed.

Guests can enjoy:

• Customized therapeutic massage
   
• Couples massage experiences
   
• Himalayan salt stone sessions
   
• Aromatherapy enhancements
   
• Warm Herbal Packs or cooling mineral packs
   
• Signature grounding rituals
   
• Restoring Sound Bowls  

And this is only the beginning.

The vision for The Haven at Forrest Hills is expansive and exciting. Soon, the spa will evolve into a more holistic wellness destination—bringing together treatments and experiences that nurture the body, mind, and spirit.

Upcoming offerings will include:

• Professional facials
   
• Holistic skincare services
   
• Yoga classes for relaxation and mobility
   
• Forest bathing sessions inspired by Japanese Shinrin-Yoku
   
• Mindful movement and meditation experiences
   
• Seasonal wellness workshops
   

The goal is simple:
To create the most peaceful and rejuvenating wellness retreat in the North Georgia Mountains—where guests can unwind, restore, and reconnect with nature.

From its humble beginning in 1977 to its evolution into an integrative wellness haven, Forrest Hills Resort remains true to its original purpose:
to offer a place “For Rest.”

The Haven at Forrest Hills embodies that legacy with renewed intention—providing an elevated, modern spa experience that still feels warm, grounded, and deeply personal. Whether you’re visiting Dahlonega for a romantic getaway, a wellness escape, or a moment of calm, The Haven invites you to settle in, breathe deeply, and feel restored.
