This was a great spot! The staff were so friendly and inviting. The restaurant had amazing food, the catfish was the best catfish I’ve ever had. The golf course was gorgeous and very well maintained!! We will definitely be visiting again!

My friend and I booked a double bed room for a getaway weekend and enjoyed every minute! I plan to return with my husband in the future! Room was great, views were beautiful, peaceful location only 6 minutes to downtown area. We booked massages at the spa and enjoyed every moment of it! We enjoyed time in the indoor pool and hot tub. Indoor pool area could use a little updating but we still enjoyed it.

This little hidden gem is definitely a place we will visit again. We loved the southern hospitality, the rooms were clean, all the amenities were provided and in great condition. The food at the restaurant on site was fantastic. The staff was personable and wonderful to talk to. We enjoyed learning about the area from Crystal and her family. The golf course is in great condition and a little challenging. Dont skip this place you won't regret the stay.

Our family stayed here and we fell in love with this place. We enjoyed the hiking to the waterfalls, the spa, the restaurant and bar, the campfire, the indoor and outdoor pool and the beautiful golf course. We had a large party of family members staying there so we used all the amenities. The staff were very kind and personable. We enjoyed looking at their wedding venue also. Our family enjoyed the town of Clayton from the coffee shop, toy store, and the chocolate store. The Rusty Bike was an awesome place to eat breakfast. Our family definitely plans to go back. We all highly recommend this place. Family and dog friendly.

Amazing views and golf! A man’s dream spot as there is a very serviceable hot tub, sauna and steam room on the premises as well. Rooms are dated and beds aren’t great but the location, prices, amenities are top notch. Good restaurant and bar on location as well. Have incredible golf/stay deals.

We were there for a birthday, destination gateway, and she loved it. Some of the kids joined with their significant others, and they just carried on about how much they loved it here, and want to come back and make it our "hub" for even more adventures. The golf course was in great shape, we can really see the work that has went into it, and we appreciate all the "flavor the course" has winding through the mountains and valleys, awesome. We had some of the best food and drink experiences you can ask for, unique fare along with the standards, it was all there and available, with smiles and great service,..!! Thanks SO much to Doug & Krystal for all they do..!!

Such a nice retreat! I've stayed here a few times over the years and it never disappoints! The rooms might need an update as the decor is a little old fashion, but the beds are comfortable and the room is spacious. I love the outdoor decks in each room, offering a nice overlook to their campus. I love coming during the winter because it's so quiet and peaceful. There is a restaurant, bar and they have wine tastings. There is also a sauna and steam room. They do separate them men and women, which was a little weird but not a deal breaker. There's also an outdoor pool. Overall, I love coming here and i highly recommend it!

Beautiful golf course. Challenging for a first time golfer. Hotel is very dated, smelled like a 1950’s motel. Ice maker was unplugged. But the beds are comfortable and the room was acceptably clean. Someone needs to buy this place and turn it into what it deserves to be. Restaurant not open when we were there. Can’t wait to return to the golf course but might investigate other places to stay.
