Georgia State Parks' own cottage overview states that all cabins have heat and air conditioning. No seasonal closure or open/close date range is published for this park's cottages, and none of its own pages use the words "year-round" for cottages specifically - but with no published closure anywhere, they appear to be bookable throughout the year. Call the park directly to confirm before planning a winter trip.
