Fancy roaming the country in a luxury motorcoach, but don’t want to sacrifice proximity to pickleball and a resort-style pool? A new concept bound for the North Georgia Mountains aims to rectify that situation.
Like a new $16-million complex near Kennesaw and many others around the country catering to discerning, post-COVID travelers, a luxury RV resort project called DiVine Village on the outskirts of Dahlonega is being designed to blend a sense of adventure with haute comforts and natural beauty.
Recently announced plans for DiVine Village call for 260 RV sites and short-term rentals spread across 110 lakeside acres at 3084 Town Creek Church Road.
The project’s goal is to capitalize on proximity to Georgia wine country and views of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with charming Dahlonega (named one of Travel + Leisure magazine’s best American small towns last year) down the road.

DiVine Village was founded by faith-based local entrepreneurs Tom Petrillo and his wife, Karen, and the design team is comprised of Ralph Schuler of JVB Architects (his portfolio includes six deluxe RV resorts in Florida) and Pro Vision Design’s Peter Shipps, a Dahlonega resident behind the well-known Old Edwards Inn in Highlands, N.C.
Alongside what’s described as “luxury motorcoach pads” and “state-of-the-art hookups,” DiVine Village calls for obligatory pickleball courts, an event space, a wine tasting room, a dog park, and a clubhouse next to the resort-style pool with cabanas, hot tubs, and a pool bar. Lakeside walking trails with fire pits and “meditation moments” are also in the mix.
“We were inspired by Dahlonega’s picturesque views, welcoming community, and inherent charm, and we intend to keep it beautifully majestic,” Petrillo noted in the project’s announcement.

DiVine Village is set for a public hearing Dec. 9 to outline plans. Project officials expect to break ground in early 2025.
