About Carol Lewis

My husband Scott and I have owned & managed a landscape company in Palm Beach County, Florida for 35 years. We like to volunteer to help disaster survivors after hurricanes, earthquakes and other major events. In 1999 we formed a non-profit organization called The Eagles Wings Foundation which does this work around the world. We have a son and daughter who are grown now & launching their own careers.

Carol Lewis purchased this cabin in 2005
Why Carol Lewis chose Clayton

We 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 developing our lot went out the window when we discovered this property which was being sold by Coca Cola heiress Frances (Tut) 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 cabin unique

This property high up on Tut's Mountain used to be 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 horses and cows in our pastures. The nearby Town of Clayton has the feel of stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting of a quieter, gentler time when people had time to chat & share recipes in shops. There is still a soda fountain in the drugstore, a drive-in movie and a general store when you can buy everything from a housedress to hunting supplies.

Such an amazing weekend!!

Mountain Creek Lodge was gorgeous!! It was so nice going to a rental cabin and getting just what you asked for. We were staying up there for a friend's wedding at Chota Falls. In all honesty, we wished we didn't have the wedding because we wanted to hang around the cabin the entire time. It had all the amenities you could possible need, I mean it even had bodywash. We didn't have to use the AC b/c the night air was cool and crisp. We just left our windows open. The view was unbelievable, mountains everywhere. There were 3 couples, all the ladies were in the wedding party and all of our husbands got to hang out at the cabin Saturday and watch football, grill burgers, and just relax. We had the best time and I would go back in a heartbeat. There was so much privacy--thank you!

We were in Clayton for a wedding reception and sure enjoyed our stay. Clayton is a fun little town with nice restuarants, bar type hangouts and shops to enjoy. The Cabin (if you can call a place so nice a cabin) was wonderful. Coffee on the porch in the morning and wine in the evening made for a relaxing stay. Having to go through 3 gates made the visit relaxing as we didn't have to worry about strange cars or unexpected visitors.The view overlooked a pasture with horses and cows with the great mountain views beyond. What made this stay even better was that, unlike a lot of cabins we stay in, the kitchen was well stocked with spices, garbage bags, dishwashing powder and things that you should not have to bring with you. Also leaving was a breeze since we didn't have to strip beds and all the stuff you have to do when leaving some cabins. Looking forward to my next visit to Clayton and the Mountain Lodge.

Carol and her lodge are both amazing! The lodge has everything you could possibly need and then some! Our luck with rentals has been about 50/50 but Carol has spoiled us for all future endeavors! Our family of 5 plus grandpa had an amazing time, the kids (19,17, 11) already want to come back! Horses were a big hit with all as well as the hammocks. Location is perfect, our 19 yr old joined us both weekends from Clemson with a friend, Clayton was fun to explore, we enjoyed the Dillard House for breakfast, and Tiger Mt. Winery was fun and quite a pleasant surprise! We didn't realize GA was producing such great wine! Enjoying the wine in the evening and coffee in the morning on the porch was one of our favorites! The had everything we needed, even was able to make our traditional leg of lamb for Easter Sunday!
The lodge is a treasure and beautiful inside and out! We all will be sad to return home tomorrow but look forward to planning a return in the fall!

What a wonderful place to go in North Georgia to relax and enjoy the convenience of all the nearby mountain attractions. Very convenient to get to from Downtown Clayton. Pet friendly! Clean!
The review is very accurate. The pictures show you exactly what you are getting. It is a beautiful home with all the amenities of your own home. We didn't need to go get anything other than food while we stayed there.
The owner was in contact with us while we were there to make sure everything was fine.
We would definitely recommend this as a place to stay if you are planning a trip to the Clayton, GA area.

Perfect Getaway!

This cabin was everything and more than we expected. We loved it! We came for the rafting but it ended up being so cold that we spent a lot of time in the cabin and that was just alright with us. We went hiking to a waterfall in the snow and drove to Scaly Mountain to go snow tubing. It could not have been a better getaway. We came from Florida so there's nothing quite like waking up in the morning and walking out on the porch with a cup of coffee to such a scenic mountain view. Thanks again!
