What a wonderful home. Within minutes, the guests were all sitting around the table drinking fresh coffee, eating homemade pecan pie and talking like we've known each other for years. That's exactly the atmosphere that Max & Judy have created the Lodge. Much more than the weekend escape we had planned for. See you all there next time we head north. Tim & Jodie

My husband, Stephen, and I love to stay at B&Bs and we found the Lodge on Apple Pie Ridge while searching last-minute for a weekend retreat. Wow! Max and Judy have really done an outstanding job! From the sweet little touches in our room, like snacks and toiletries, to the wonderful homemade desserts and huge breakfasts...it was just perfect. My husband is still dreaming about Judy's strawberry cobbler! We can't wait to go back! - The Byrd family

It was my wife and I last get-away before settling down to have a baby! We absolutely enjoyed everything about The Lodge on Apple Pie Ridge. The breakfasts were made from scratch and so nice to wake up to. Max and Judy also provided evening snacks and tea - great while reading or playing board games. While there in the fall, we visited the "great" Tellulah gorge when the leave were at their peak. We couldn't have asked for anything more picturesque. Anyway, you can't go wrong with "The Lodge on Apple Pie Ridge". Max and Judy know how to treat you right!

Visiting Apple Pie Ridge was home, but without interruption and work to be done. Max and Judy made us feel like part of their family. We could really relax, put our feet up or just take a walk. The food delicious, the rooms comfortable. An overall enjoyable experience!

This lodge is beautiful and your are treated like kings and queens. Food is scrumptious- but the best part are Max and Judy. They know how to include you- or leave you alone- not easy to do. Max has some great stories! We have been about seven times and never tire of it!!

Judy and Max are a fabulous couple! They don't know a single stranger. Their place is an absolutely wonderful haven tucked away in a beautiful part of NE Georgia. If we're ever in their "neck of the woods" again we'll be sure to spend time with them again!

Happened upon the lodge by 'accident' and made a last minute booking. We have stayed in 50+ B&Bs, and this one is in the top 3 by far. Max and Judy (Innkeepers) were wonderful all the way around! Food was terrific and 'presentation' was perfect. Service was impeccable. Scenery is awesome and atmosphere serene. A great experience in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge. Wish we had more time and will definitely be back! The lodge is close to everything, but away from it all... Jeff and Carol

My husband and I just spent our 7th anniversary weekend with Max and Judy. This B&B was the best experience and will keep us coming back and time and time again. The breakfast was to die for and the evening desserts were the best. The lodge is amaculate and you forget that you are not at a five star hotel. The best part is getting a chance to sit and talk with Max and Judy, as they share stories of their humble beginnings and the great stories of their children and grandchildren. The lodge is as beautiful as it looks on the website and no one should pass thru the Northeast Georgia Mountains without spending time at the Lodge..... We can't wait to get back.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay with Judy and Max. We spent both evenings drinking coffee and chatting in front of the huge fireplace. They are a great couple! The lodge is done in log cabin style and is tastefully decorated. The hospitality and food are incredible. We highly recommend the Lodge on Apple Pie Ridge for those looking to get away from it all.

My friend and I stayed there a weekend and enjoy a magnificent breakfast each day. The inn keepers were gave the best entertainment while allowing sufficient privacy for us also. We hope to visit again soon.

My husband and I just visited the Lodge for the second time in a year. We visited once last Christmas when the Lodge was beautifully decorated with fresh arrangements. Our visit this past weekend was just as memorable. The leaves are beginning to turn their brilliant colors. The setting for the Lodge is perfect with a wonderful view of the mountains. You can even see deer playing in the field behind the lodge. We stayed in the Winesap room, and it is just as pretty as the photo. Max and Judy Chosewood are such gracious hosts. Judy is an excellent cook. Her evening dessert and morning breakfast are always delicious. I would recommend the Lodge on Apple Pie Ridge as a perfect getaway to anyone visiting the North Georgia mountains.

I discovered this well kept secret by accident on bedandbreakfast.com. The lodge is absolutly incredible! Max and Judy are excellent innkeepers. Great nearby dining (The Attic in Clarksville), close to Helen and other small town adventures. Excellent honeymoon destination or weekend get-away!

If you are within 2 hours of Atlo, Georgia, you must make arrangements for at least a one night stay at the Lodge on Apple Pie Ridge. We found this GEM while researching golf courses in Northern Georgia. Judy and Max have built a beautiful custom log home on a ridge overlooking a gorgeous hollow. You know it is special the moment you turn into the drive leading to the Lodge. The home itself is extraordinary in the architecture and design as it was built specifically as Bed&Breakfast. Judy and Max have decorated thier home to be "cabin-elegant" while so very comfortable and cozy. The initial tour of the Lodge shows the amount of care and detail that was considered from the beautifully designed kitchen, bedroom linens and window treatments to the knick-knacks found throughout. And the food! Daily breakfast, afternoon snacks, and nightly desserts were superb! Southern cooking and hospitality at its very best. We visited for 3 evenings and were so sad to leave. Judy and Max are absolutely delightful hosts and we felt we had made new friends. Our experience at the Lodge completely exceeded our expectations. Get out to the Lodge, you will not be disappointed.

Our stay at The Lodge was an unforgettable experience. Max and Judy bring southern hospitality to their charming "cabin in the woods." The breakfast and desserts were exceptional and something to look forward to. The rooms were spacious and accommodating. We felt like we were right at home. If you are looking to stay in the Alto, Ga area, definitely look up the Chosewoods at The Lodge on Apple Pie Ridge!
