Racers Retreat Bed and Breakfast — Hotel in Dahlonega

We stayed a weekend in May 2024 at Racer's Retreat to watch our son's team at the Atlanta Motorsports Park(AMP) racetrack across the road. The stay was outstanding. The place has 3 large nicely furnished rooms available, all on the main floor so no need to climb stairs. It is surrounded by trees, is quiet and feels secluded in spite of being across the street from AMP. The rooms have direct access to the inside living and dining areas as well as a second door directly to the outside which makes it convenient both for getting in and out and relaxing or eating breakfast. ||Our host lives onsite in the home and she cooks a different breakfast each morning - and one that won't leave you hungry with fresh fruit, eggs, bacon, a homemade sweet cake and more. She is also really friendly and stayed and talked with us during breakfast and afterwards.||For us, the defining differences between a great B&B vs an ordinary one or a hotel, are the uniqueness, furnishing and openness of the room but more importantly, the owner not only being onsite but talking with us and providing the feeling we are not just guests but are friends stopping by and the feeling that we are in a home away from home.||Our only wish was that it would have been better to have a lounge chair in the room instead of the multiple ottomans but this was mitigated by the ease of getting to the living room with its multiple...

We arrived right at check-in time and we're greeted by the sweetest woman, who also happens to be the owner. This is a beautiful house right across from the Atlanta motor speedway. There are three bedrooms on the lower floor, a porch with big chairs to admire the mountain view, clean and huge rooms, breakfast of choice provided in the morning, and a private entrance to the rooms. Although this is clearly a home, the hosts give you complete privacy, do not intrude, and are quiet throughout the night and mornings to not wake guests up.

When we booked this room, we were expecting a simple cereal or egg breakfast, but the lady went above and beyond. We mentioned we are vegans and she said she had never cooked a vegan breakfast before, but was excited to try it out. We woke up in the morning to a delicious tofu scramble, fresh sliced avocado, sliced tomatoes on spinach leaves, a small dessert on the side, juice, hot coffee, and a glass jar of fresh fruit. The other guests enjoyed a ham and cheese frittata, I think, which they seemed to enjoy as well. I eat in small amounts and she had no problem packing my food up to-go.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to amicalola falls and would definitely stay here again. This place is a little gem in...
