This place was amazing! We were able to kayak, swim at the pool, and have s'mores around the campfire. Our entire family raved about how much fun it was to stay here.
We've stayed here multiple times with large groups and it never dissapoints. Great access to lake and during summer the pool is fantastic (and huge).
The management team is very accommodating and quick to respond.
We absolutely love it and will continue to come back.
Our large group of family and friends spent the July 4th weekend in the Kingfisher cabins at Pine Acres Retreat and a wonderful time was had by all! We swam in the lake and pool, enjoyed kayaking, hiking, grilling and eating!! The group is already talking about a return visit!!
We had a reunion here with four families for a long weekend. The place was great for the kids, each family having their own pod and the kids enjoyed playing in the main cabin, in the field space, fire pit, pool, and lake (which was far away enough). The rental manager is very responsive. Be aware that all the bathrooms are in one building.
We traveled with 24 collegiate men athletes and had a great time. Just know if you want privacy in the main cabin for coaches, there is none, try and get another separate cabin. But overall a really cool experience.
We had a group of three families staying for a baseball tournament. The accommodations were fantastic for our group. The living space in the main cabin was a perfect size for our meals and for us to sit together at the end of the day in the living room. The pods were great. Each parent had their own, and the boys all shared one. So we were able to have our privacy when it was time for bed. The kids enjoyed the lake. We brought jet skis and used the kayaks that belong to the larger property. The pool is directly across the road from the house, and that was a bonus. We were able to cook and grill with ease. The only thing that we felt wasnât exactly as we thought was that the double beds in the listing were the sofas in the living room. It wasnât a problem, as there was plenty of space; it was just different than what we expected.
Dawn (the property manager) was fantastic. She was easy to communicate with and helped make sure that we had everything that we needed.
If we come back to this area to play ball, we will definitely book this property again. It was a homerun!
Our family with ages ranging from 7-70 gathered here for a birthday celebration. Everyone had a fabulous time enjoying the lake with the kayaks, swimming in the pool, playing games in the large yard and making sâmores sitting around the fire pit.
Having a washer and dryer in the main cabin was wonderful with the amount of people staying.
The kids enjoyed seeing the deer in the morning along with the turtles and frogs in the lake.
The cabins accommodated everyone comfortably. The only complaint we received from some of our family was that the mattresses and pillows were uncomfortable. This was an easy fix for us with having stores close by to pick up a mattress pad which seemed to solve the issue. Others that brought sleeping bags and their own pillows had no issues so this may be something you want to bring with you.
The owner checked in on us to make sure everything was going well and quickly responded anytime we had questions.
We had a wonderful time creating memories with our family and are already planning a trip to come back.
We had a great time, this is our second time going at this time of year, and we love it. We are able to sleep 32 grown adults and have a great time celebrating the new year together, itâs always so much fun.
Came to the area for a family reunion with our group of 16. This was the perfect choice. Each family had a cabin and we met in the âlodgeâ for meals and restroom/showers. Pool was right across from the kingfisher cabin and the lake behind us. We called to rent the canoes and kayaks and they brought them quickly to our cabin. So much fun for our family ages 2 to 61. Plenty of towels and kitchen equipment to use. Thank you!!
This property was perfect to accommodate the large size of our college group of students for alternative break trips. This was a great disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city to ensure the value of simplicity and warmth throughout our trip. What a fantastic stay!
It was beautiful and perfect for our family. We loved the lake and the cabins were fun. We were able to get 30 of us together and enjoy the outdoors. We went kayaking and canoeing. The property manager was so accommodating. The kids all want to go again!
Wonderful atmosphere for family reunion enough space for outdoor activities to entertain kids, campfires kayaks, outdoor movies nite.
Only thing WIFI listed should be more specific NO WIFI available.
This place is so perfect for large families, large groups or special bonding events like couples weekend, family reunions or team building. We enjoyed the environment and view! Everything we needed was provided, making the experiment so AMAZING! Our family will return!
My family of 22 stayed for Thanksgiving. The accommodations were great, communication with property manager was great! It was a beautiful place with peaceful surroundings! Highly recommend!
We had a great weekend visit! So much to do with the lake, kayaks, fishing, huge pool and fire pit. All ages enjoyed the property and everything it had to offer. The property manager was very helpful, responsive and so friendly. We would definitely come back!
Kingfisher Cabins is located at a facility called Pine Acres Retreat on 250+ acres owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and leased to Bartow County, Georgia Government. It is managed by the Cartersville-Bartow County Convention & Visitors Bureau by agreement with Bartow County. Pine Acres Retreat was a Girl Scout camp until 2016.

This is a natural retreat located minutes from I-75 and metro Atlanta. It offers the amenities we're accustomed to in a serene environment many of us never experience.

All of this property is edged by Allatoona Lake, with the large pool and opportunity for kayaking/canoeing, your days will be filled with outdoor enjoyment. Sitting in the shade, or around a fire pit at night, lighting bug catching, or making smores, this is a relaxation retreat we offer for you to enjoy.
