Map & Owner's Profile
Mountain Creek Lodge & Farm - Horses Welcome!
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Clayton
Our family has always loved vacationing in Rabun County. We fell in love with this farm years ago when it was owned by an heiress to the Coca-Cola fortune. Going there is like time-traveling into a Norman Rockwell painting, when life was simpler and people had time for each other. There is no sense of rush, anxiety or competition in this gentle place. It is so dark at night at the cabin that you can see all the stars and it is so quiet that only bird song awakens you.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin - 3,000 Sq. Ft.
This cabin is part of a 25-acre farm, with cows, pastures, barns, wild peacocks. We enjoy nature walks in the forest that surround the farm, swimming in Lake Rabun or Lake Burton, visiting nearby wineries and quaint towns, and whitewater rafting. The property includes 2 barns and pastures that can be used by horses.
Owner's Map of Clayton
We own and manage a landscape company in Palm Beach County, Florida, and travel often on behalf of The Eagles Wings Foundation, a nonprofit disaster relief organization.
