Welcome to Idlewilde Event Center at Indian Springs State Park

Conveniently located near I-75 in middle Georgia, Indian Springs is one of the oldest state parks in the United States and a popular spot for outdoor recreation.

Idlewilde Event Center at Indian Springs State Park is available for reservations. The name is derived from the majestic house on the property that serves as the park office and visitor center; and is on the National Historic Register. With another nod to past, the individual rooms in the center are even named after the historic hotels that once thrived in the village of Indian Springs. Idlewilde has 20,000 square feet of event space including a massive lake side porch with beautiful views of the water. With a capacity of 500 people, Idlewilde can accommodate a variety of events, from birthday parties and family reunions, to weddings and corporate retreats. Additional features include a catering kitchen and audio visual capabilities in every room.

Cottages in Georgia State Parks

Cabins/Cottages

Cozy cabins with one, two or three bedrooms are available at nearly 30 state parks. In most cases, they are located on lakes or hillsides, providing spectacular views. Cabins are as diverse as the parks themselves, such as the historic 1930s stone cottages at F.D. Roosevelt, the round "barrel" cottages at Unicoi and the luxurious cabins at Smithgall Woods.

Most cabins are fully equipped with stoves, refrigerators, kitchen and dining utensils, bed linens, blankets and towels. All cabins have heat and air conditioning. Many cabins have televisions, screened porches or decks and wood burning fireplaces or stoves. Firewood, paper towels and dish soap are typically not provided. Rates range from around $85 to $250 per night, depending on location, season and size. We do not charge a separate cleaning fee.

Cabins/cottages are not designed for organized groups; groups are urged to use group lodges at the parks where they are available. Cottage occupancies are not to exceed maximum recommended capacity. Furniture and supplies are not to be transported between cottages.

Designated dog-friendly cabins are available. Read our pet policy.
