We had a lovely weekend getaway. Check-in was super easy (all keypad entries.) The view was spectacular. Staying on a working farm was interesting - so fun to watch the cows, goats, pigs, chickens, and dogs!.

Such a lovely escape! Amazing views, so peaceful and away from it all while being conveniently close to dining and shopping. No shortage of great trails within 15-20 mins. Our 5YO was obsessed with the hammock, so much that we installed one this week :)We will be back!

Beautiful location with a wonderful deck and view. Owner was pleasant and easy to work with.Because of location and time of year, there were loads of cobwebs all around the house and some inside.Inside of house was mostly clean but grill was not usable due to mold.We very much enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Stay at this Beautiful Property !We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home with amazing mountain views and hope to come back again. It was so peaceful, private and in a nice location plus watching the farm animals close by from the porch was super — especially for our 5 year old grandson. The owners are quite thoughtful with nice touches like labels for light switches, making coffee available along with a kitchen full of dishes pots and anything needed to cook at home, paper towels and hair dryers, rocking chairs, blankets, all making this a wonderful home. One of a kind and we already miss it!

Birthday Celebration

For the second time, friends gathered for a milestone birthday at Mountain Creek Lodge. We love this location with plenty of single beds, a large dining table, and a big balcony overlooking the mountains and farm below. We are outdoor lovers and spent time out on the balcony and enjoying nearby hiking. We will be back.

Breathtaking views over the farm

Our family rented this beautiful cabin for our son’s 6th Birthday. He wanted to stay in a cabin on a farm! This checked every box for the adults and kids. We had fun exploring and seeing all the cows, pigs, chickens and goats! Todd and his wife showed us around the farm and were amazing. We bought farm fresh eggs from them and went to their yummy boiled peanut stand! Overall a wonderful experience!

About the host

Hosted by Carol Lewis

Host profile image
I am a retired business owner who loves the mountains.

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.
