Mountain Creek Lodge

AWESOME!!!! Beautiful view, beautiful sunrise, spacious yet cozy home. Carol was quick to answer questions and friendly to outreach. The Perrys (who manage the animals) are the Salt of the Earth people. Loved talking with them. Access to the home was easy and fun to drive. This was our 3rd trip to Rabun County and the best location yet. thank you.

Great stay!!

We had a couple hiccups initially with the TV and internet but Carol was extremely attentive and with the help of her neighbor Todd, everything worked out great. The property itself was wonderful and the view was just something we could have stared at all day. Don't miss the sunrise! We all loved our visit and we're already planning our return.

A lovely peaceful, scenic farm with expansive mountain views

What a hidden gem! On a gorgeous piece of property, this house feels remote yet is a quick drive to downtown Clayton. The home and views are even better than the VRBO listing photos. There are plenty of places for large groups to gather whether in the kitchen, dining room, or enormous porch with expansive views of the mountains. The host was an excellent communicator and was so kind to allow our group to check in early! We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful farm in a serene setting

One of the nicest, most well appointed VRBO's we've stayed at, by far! The kitchen is well equipped, has modern appliances and LOTS of room. The view from the porch is nothing short of breathtaking....do NOT miss the sunrise, as it is absolutely stunning. Carol was awesome....responsive and accommodating. Can't say enough about this place. It was a wonderful stay!

Mountain cabin

Our family enjoyed our stay. Loved kids being able to run around and see the dogs, chickens, pigs, cows, etc.. The wrap around porch was a hit as well. We would sit out there and enjoy the Mountain View in the rocking chairs. House was well stocked with everything you need, just bring your clothes and food.

Another great visit!

We have been visiting Mountain Creek Lodge for years now, and, once again, we had a wonderful time. The owner, Carol, has anticipated practically any wish guests might have and provided the essentials, comforts, and charm that should make every stay most enjoyable. The property is conveniently located so that guests can easily join people in town or sit on the porch and enjoy the solitude and fantastic views. We cannot recommend MCL enough and can truthfully say that Carol is a host par excellence!

Amazing opportunity!!

My family came to this property to celebrate my mother’s birthday. We were blown away! This house and property had everything you could possibly need. The house was beautiful and well done. The property was a gem! Farm animals and views cannot be described in words or with photos. We will visit again in the future. My daughter will never forget this experience. She is only 5 and loved the gentle animals.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Lewis

Host profile image
I am a retired business owner who loves the mountains and also has a home near my children and grandchildren in West Palm Beach, FL.

Why they chose this property

My family developed the nearby Mountain Creek Estates subdivision and saved a wonderful 10-acre lot for ourselves. It borders a rushing creek and has fabulous views. All thoughts of building on our lot went out the window when we discovered this property which was being sold by Coca Cola heiress Frances Woodruff - known locally as 'Mrs. Tut.' As a part-time realtor, I see a lot of properties, but the views from the porch of this cabin and the tranquility of the farm cannot be beat!

What makes this property unique

This property high up on Tut's Mountain was formerly the petting zoo of Coca Cola heiress Frances Woodruff. Remnants of the bear den, eagles' lair and other artifacts still can be seen. Neighbors graze their cows, goats, pigs and chickens in our pastures. The Town of Clayton has the feel of stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting to a quieter, gentler time when people had time to chat & share recipes in shops. We are within 4 miles of a variety of restaurants, shops, grocery stores, Home Depot and a Walmart Super Center.
