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.

Great time with family over Thanksgiving.

Spent 4 nights over the Thanksgiving Holiday. Plenty of room to handle the 8/9 adults. Favorite part was the large family room and kitchen. Plenty of room to hang out and drink cocktails around the fire or games around the kitchen table. Great view of Clayton Mountains. Short drive to Hiking trails and downtown Clayton. Bring carrots for the cows.

Country Magic!

Peaceful and magical. We fell in love immediately with the cows, mini pigs, goats, and absolutely beautiful Great Pyrenees at the bottom of the hill! Sitting outdoors on the porch is breathtaking! The owner is so kind and helpful. The little community there feels like "home". You are sure to enjoy!

We stayed here with a group of teenagers for our daughter’s birthday celebration. The property was beautiful, the farm animals were fun to watch. We enjoyed the privacy so the kids could talk on the porches, and we loved the fact that the loft was full of beds, so nobody had to feel left out. The kitchen was stocked with a variety of tools and some spices. Plenty to do nearby, quick access to grocery stores and great hiking/swimming. We would stay again!

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!

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.
