Dunya is not a traditional hotel. You will not find a front desk, a bellhop, a breakfast buffet, or shared spaces. What you will find is privacy — space to think, to rest, and to breathe.
Life here moves at a different pace: quieter, slower, more intentional. It is designed to help you let go of hurry and rediscover romance in simplicity.
You can expect all the comforts of a luxury stay — a king bed, ensuite bath, climate control, and beautiful design — but with a seamless indoor–outdoor experience. Your tent opens to the mountain air and views that shift with the light.
Most experiences, including dining and massage, are arranged in advance and take place in the privacy of your own space. All accommodations are self-catering, so you can cocoon yourself away and never see another soul — a true hideaway, a bolthole from the world.
Dunya is an adult-oriented retreat, thoughtfully designed for couples and solo travelers seeking quiet, rest, and connection. It is not suited for families with children.
All tents sleep a maximum of two guests, and we have a strict policy of no babies or children under 12. Guests aged 12 and older are welcome but must be booked into a separate tent.
Please note that there is an automatic $1,000 fine for violating this policy.. Please note there is an automatic $1000 fine for violating this policy.
For the privacy and enjoyment of all our guests, we do not allow pets. Thank you for understanding.
Service animals are welcome with proper documentation.
We have one tent that is handicap friendly with the following features.
• easily accessible parking
• ramp entry to tent and spa deck
• rails in the shower & toilet
Please note that our common areas and walking trails are not handicap accessible.
Check-in begins at 5:00 PM EST, and check-out is at 11:00 AM EST.
Dunya is not a traditional hotel — each stay is a fully prepared experience in the wilderness. Our crew spends the afternoon getting everything show-ready, ensuring your space feels perfect when you arrive. Because of the time and care this requires, we are unable to accommodate early arrivals or late check-outs.
Please plan to arrive no earlier than 5:00 PM. We also recommend arriving before dusk — the country roads are easier to navigate in daylight, and the sunsets are spectacular.
Check-out is at 11:00 AM EST, when the Dunya experience comes to a close. We cannot offer late check-outs. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as our crew begins preparing for the next guest’s stay.
Yes, weekends are a flat rate with a three-night minimum and Friday to Monday stay. Weekdays have a two-night minimum. Our check-in and check-out days are Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Operating in a remote location presents unique challenges, and we have chosen these days to minimize disruptions and maintain a peaceful atmosphere. This schedule ensures your stay remains tranquil, without the constant background noise of cleaning and vacuuming.
If you can only stay for one or two nights, it's important to note that the pricing structure for weekends remains the same. Opting for a two-night stay does not alter the cost and allows for a more relaxed Sunday check-out, compared to the standard 11 am departure.

Dishes and cutlery
No, we do not allow day visitors at the property, even if they are with registered guests.
There are no on-site food services at this time.
We love the experience of cooking outdoors, and if you feel the same, we have made it easy for you by providing a gas grill on the covered patio and a campfire pit on the lower deck.
If cooking isn't your thing, we offer a breakfast and lunch hamper for purchase or you can reserve one of our decadent private chef experiences. In addition, there are several lovely restaurants in Summerville or Mentone which are 15-20mins away.
The tents have a split AC/Heat unit that will keep you comfortable all year round. We also have a wood-burning fireplace for extra warmth that creates a beautiful atmosphere of intimacy and romance.
Do note that while the mini-split is effective, it can never match the temperature levels of a fully insulated home.
Our aim is to provide an authentic experience in the great outdoors while being as comfortable as possible in tented lodging.
Our safari tents do not have TVs. At Dunya Camp, we encourage guests to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with nature. Instead of screens, you'll find starry skies, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of quiet moments to truly relax.
Dunya is in an unspoiled and untouched corner of North Georgia. You'll occasionally see animals that are common in rural areas - deer, wild turkeys, and many beautiful birds. We are not in bear country, but we have heard reports of an occasional bear passing through the area. Please do not leave food outside. You will encounter some bugs. We have regular pest control, but certain insects—like ladybugs—are part of the landscape here and very difficult to completely eliminate. The swarms of lady bugs usually show up in November and early December.
As with most remote and rural properties, there are some snakes. Please do not stray from the roads and walking paths; leave them alone if you see one.
Yes, We have Wi-Fi.
Verizon and AT&T provide the best cell phone coverage on property. The rest of the cell phone providers have spotty service.
You can cancel your reservation for a full refund within 48 hours of booking, as long as your check-in date is more than 4 weeks away. If you need to reschedule, there is a $300 fee, and it must be done at least 4 weeks before your check-in date. Unfortunately, cancellations or rescheduling cannot be accommodated within 4 weeks of arrival for any reason. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover any unexpected situations.
Dunya Camp takes on a whole new charm in the winter. Our key features shine during the colder months, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a comfortable winter experience.
Our sauna and hot tub offer a warm retreat, perfect for relaxing amidst nature. The wood-burning fireplace creates a snug vibe for shared moments. With insulated decks, heating from a mini-split unit, and additional portable heaters, the tent stays warm and toasty.
Georgia winters are typically mild. Open up the flaps during the day, and with the sun streaming in, enjoy the warmth of a crackling fire, creating a romantic and cozy ambiance that adds a special touch to your stay.
