STAFF GRATUITIES

Staff gratuities are intended as supplemental compensation for our hard-working staff (waiters, kitchen staff, housekeeping, shuttle drivers, etc.) who work long hours often at hourly rates. Your final Passover invoice will include a line item for staff gratuities in the amount of 2.5% of your reservation total. This is a minimum, but guests are always welcome to leave additional gratuities.

OTHER OPTIONAL CHARGES

Airport transfers, excursions, merchandise, and personal services like massages are extra. Opportunities to pre-register for airport transfers and excursions will be available in early 2026.

We strongly encourage purchasing travel insurance. While we understand that unexpected life events can happen between registration and the retreat, please note that our refund policies are based on the significant upfront costs we incur once your registration is confirmed. As a result, we regret that we cannot provide any refunds after January 15, 2026, for any reason.

CANCELLATIONS: Cancellations must be submitted in writing to retreats@ramahdarom.org.

Cabins

Ramah Darom’s cabins are modern and spacious with hardwood floors, a screened-in porch, and indoor bathroom(s). Each cabin has an open area with dorm-style bunk beds and 1 or 2 private rooms with twin beds.

For all cabins, linens are provided, but beds are not made up.

Hotel Rooms

We have 4 hotel buildings on our 185-acre campus. All hotel rooms have a private bathroom, heating, and air conditioning, a dresser, a table with two chairs, a Keurig-style coffee maker, a mini-fridge, complimentary toiletries, and bed and bath linens.

Standard Hotel Rooms

Ramah Darom has two standard hotel buildings on campus, Marcus Lodge and Mountainside Hotel. These hotels are located up a steep hill with stairs, a boardwalk, and walking paths to the main areas of the campus. Each hotel room has two queen beds. Some connecting rooms are available. 

Deluxe Hotel Rooms

There are two deluxe hotel buildings on Ramah Darom’s campus, the Welcome Center and Lakeside Hotel. Deluxe hotel rooms are extra spacious and have two queen beds or one king bed.

The Welcome Center is a flat walk to the Levine Center (where meals are served) and has two ADA-compliant rooms available. The Lakeside Hotel is up a steep hill from the Levine Center.

Deluxe Private Cottages

There are four deluxe private cottages on Ramah Darom’s campus, and they are our most luxurious accommodations! These beautiful studio-style cottages feature a kitchenette with a sink, refrigerator, microwave, and Keurig-style coffee maker. Each cottage has a private porch, a bathroom with a walk-in shower, a king-sized bed, and a full-sized pull-out couch. Please note that cottages are not ADA accessible as they have stair-only access.

The Kaplan Mitchell Retreat Center at Ramah Darom features a fully kosher kitchen, supervised by the Atlanta Kashruth Commission and our talented culinary team. Our kosher for Passover menus offer a wide variety of healthy and delicious options—even the pickiest eaters will find something to enjoy. We accommodate a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and more. However, we may not be able to support severe food allergies; please reach out to our team to discuss your specific needs.

Driving to Campus

Ramah Darom is two hours from Atlanta, in Clayton, GA. Please download and print these Driving Directions and bring them with you when you travel. GPS shortcuts can lead you to dangerous mountain roads!

Airport/Campus Bus

We offer a bus between Atlanta’s airport and Ramah Darom’s campus on arrival and departure days for $50 per person each way. Bus sign-ups will be available on your family dashboard in the fall.

When booking flights, please ensure that your incoming flight lands at least one hour before the bus’s scheduled pick-up time. Outgoing flights should depart no earlier than two hours after the bus is scheduled to arrive at the airport.

If you are traveling with a child who requires a car or booster seat, you must bring your own. Please note that car seats are not required or recommended on buses, as bus seats are not designed to accommodate them. If you choose to use a car or booster seat, you assume all associated risks. We recommend either strapping your child into the seat or holding them in your lap.

Bus Dates & Times (ET):

Coming in early 2026.
