My family met here for Thanksgiving because it was centrally located between all of us and offered a lot of attractions for the weather. We had 14 all together: 3 married couples (in 30s's and 40's) with children (ages 2, 5, 8, 9, 11, 14, 22) and one grandfather in his 60's. The facility is gorgeous, extremely clean, friendly service and high quality. We stayed in suite 202 where we all gathered in the family room before outings/evenings. My family of 5 slept in the back bedroom comfortably, it was very spacious. The pack-n-play fit in the bathroom it was so big and offered quiet, dark sleeping. Grandfather stayed in an adjoining room and my two brothers stayed just a couple of rooms down to give them privacy. During the day we swam in the pools (heated nicely), visited Stone Mountain (reviews posted for the attractions separately) explored outside and in the evenings we enjoyed the fire pits, swam more (mostly in the 3 hot tubs) and played life-sized chess/checkers. We purchased a movie package so we rented movies and ordered room-service. The food for room service was very cost-effective and great quality.
For service, the bellhops (mandatory) were very respectful, knowledgeable and friendly. The front staff was always available and friendly (and I was picky about our accommodations).The operator was a joy every time I called with questions.
For room service, we ordered and would recommend: pizza (pepperoni was better than the plain cheese), chicken fingers, penne pasta, big chef salad, homemade chips/dip, artichoke dip/chips, and fries.
For Thanksgiving, we ate at the hotel buffet and while the lack of (being told we needed) reservations almost left us stranded, the manager worked it out for us and it was an amazing, delicious meal with SUPER service from Ying.
There are two inconveniences to be aware of with this hotel:
- One of them isn't their fault, but there are no places to purchase drinks or food within a reasonable distance from the hotel. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing bottled waters, drinks, breakfast foods and snacks for your stay. All the rooms have a small refrigerator and the suites had small microwaves. We ran out of quarters for the drink machine and I refused to pay $3 for the bottled water in the room. There is a wal-mart about 15 mins away that had the essentials, but we should have gone there before checking into the hotel.
- The second inconvenience was the hotel room doors. They would slam shut automatically and you could hear them many rooms away. We opted to leave a shoe in our door during the day so the children couldn't slam the doors. Especially with a napping toddler, it became a real nuisance.

Overall, this hotel was beautiful, clean, trustworthy, and personable and I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone looking for a long weekend getaway. My sister-in-law and nephew went to the spa for massages and raved about the service, so I rated it excellent below. The reflection of the lake's blue waters, shimmering beneath the tree tops was a view I won't forget for decades!!

Absolutely brilliant hotel in wonderful surroundings with very attentive and observant staff. We have been staying there for the past fifteen years - always for a few days, it is so peaceful and relaxing, you just do not want to leave!! Also, the breakfast buffet is superb, the servers very friendly and efficient and it is always a pleasure to return to this oasis, just 45 minutes away from Atlanta airport!! If you enjoy golf, the facilities are great, two superb golf courses and the clubhouse has a very good restaurant!

I attended a retreat here on Nov.9th-11th,2012. The resort is amazing. It's location in Stone Mountain Park is an area of seclusion, If you want a little Get A Way, this is the place to be.
I had a room with a lake view from my balcony (sweet) . The staff was very helpful and friendly.
For you Starbucks fan, there is a Starbucks in the lobby. The views from the hall ways over
looks the courtyards were you will see a large cheese game, whirlpool (that is heated) , pool and
a fire pit. The fire pit at night is lovely to look at , it adds a little touch of romance to the courtyard
at night. I enjoyed my nice comfortable bed. In the bathroom you will find Bath N Body Works
Aromatherapy Orange Ginger energizing items. :)
My meals at The Waterside restaurant was great.
Looking forward to my next visit.

We landed a groupon deal for the spa at Evergreen and were SO excited to get the facial and hot stone or pedi and hot stone massage for such a great price. Booking was a breeze and they seemed so accommodating. HOWEVER, the ONLY reason I give this review no less than 2 stars is the price we paid via groupon. We most definitely feel that we were treated like second class/groupon customers. 30 minutes before our appointment (mind you, you're asked to show up 15 minutes prior to the appointment) we get phoned to be told "We're running 30 minutes behind, can you just show up 30 minutes later?" We stated we were already minutes out so no, we'll just wait. It did not appear that there were customers being seen prior to us, but rather that one of the service providers was running late; we can't verify the reason for the delay though, that's only an opinion. When we booked we made it abundantly clear, REPEATEDLY, via email that we wanted her facial and his pedi to be done simultaneously THEN have the massage. The lady that booked us "forgot" this detail when we changed our appointment about two weeks out so we were rudely handled and left with no choice but to have our appointment done in the opposite order we requested. Our massages were great. He was happy with his pedi, but her facial leveled out at mediocre when the SPA MANAGER/esthetician concluded by leaving several large chunks of the pumpkin mask on her face and calling it done. She left A to clean up and A was forced to find another esthetician to provide a rag to scrub off the chunks of mask left on even after cleansing and moisturizing. Because the services ended at different times J paid and went to have a drink while waiting. A handled the tipping and barely discovered J's estheticians were already tipped, per the manager's admittance that she had already been tipped for the massage and A need not tip. The same young lady that "forgot" the booking requests was content to let J's pedi esthetician take a double tip until A requested the 2nd tip back. Overall, we would NEVER recommend anyone spending their money with this spa, even if it was with groupon/at a discount. The ladies do NOT have good business practice together.
