Certainly, we can. Rates will vary, but should be on the thru hiker rate. 
Here is the text from my earlier message on the GA RUCK:

The number for Goose Creek is 706 745-5111.
Snail mail address is PO Box 906 Blairsville, GA 30514
Their Email address is goosecreekcabins@juno.com

They have on site 12 cabins of a variety of sizes, some with phones and
TV's, one with Satellite TV (they moved it to #12 from #11 since
Cricket and the other HATTers and I were there). Most of these cabins
sleep 4, with the likelihood of more if floors and sleeping bags are
used appropriately.

I took the opportunity to take a cabin overlooking the lodge, with a
big bed, and space for my boxers - the dogs. Remember, if you sleep
with dogs you are going to get fleas.

Basically, I'm organizing a time and place, and allowing the anarchy to
rule. If you want to RUCK with the South, make a reservation and alert
the list if you want to share space. There are other cabins in the
immediate area, but more expensive (but far less than a flophouse in
Manhatten). As more reserve a cabin, rates will decrease. For instance,
#7 is listed at $75, but likely to be less - much less.
...

So that is the RUCK situation as best as I know how to put it together,
as a n'er-do-well slacker in organizing such things. Now I get to
figure out how to say, "Honey, I want you to meet 50 of my closest
friends that I've never met."
