About this property

Wiley Mountain Lodge is a century old Inn that welcomed north Georgia's 1st visitors off the Tallulah Falls Locomotive Trains at Wiley Station. Horse and buggy brought guests to the front steps of, what was then, Mountain Laurel Inn. Guests were greeted by the Inn's owner, Mrs Blanche Court, and the luggage boy took the leather suitcases up the winding stone steps to the broad front porch.
100 years later we have transformed Wiley Mountain Lodge into a cozy mountain retreat where you can quickly escape from the city to be surrounded by nature. The Lakemont style batten-board lodge is totally private, perfectly located and completely outfitted with all the details. We imagine that our pioneer ancestors would get a kick out of how fashionable Wiley looks today. When you walk through the screen doors you immediately have a sense of connection to the past that's hard to resist! Wiley feels honest and unpretentious. It evokes a simpler time with natural warmth, organic textures, tree top views and clean mountain air.
Wiley Mountain Lodge is located in the midst of the Appalachian mountain range, off 441 just South of Clayton Georgia. The Lodge Property backs up to the Chattahoochee National Forest. The lodge is minutes away from Lake Rabun Marina, Lakemont Village, vineyards, shops, restaurants, rafting, trails, waterfalls and Parks. Wiley Mountain Lodge is the perfect Home base to all that the North Georgia Mountains have to offer! Here you can get away from it all, keep it simple and enjoy the mountain life.

Because we celebrate the art of repurposing, Wiley provides a wonderful showcase for our ingenuity and use of the land. We are Georgia made, every pressed tin tile, cedar beam, quartz stone, squeaky pine board, wavy glass and soft quilt.
In a world where there is so much virtual, we invite you to come enjoy blatantly real & rustic. We call it Glamping!! Wiley is not a house for those who can not make a fire, do not like to shower outdoors or can not unplug.
You will love Wiley if you were happiest exploring in the woods as a kid, turning over stones, playing in the mud and investigating every little creature. If you love eating outdoors, swinging on the porch, old flannel shirts and S'mores on a stick, we can't wait for you to enjoy Wiley Mountain Lodge!

Labor Day Weekend Get Away

We enjoyed a lovely weekend in this charming cabin. Beautiful porches provided the perfect places to catch up with family over morning coffee, and evening dinners. We enjoyed hiking in Tallulah Gorge & browsing the shops in Clayton. We plan on returning!

Great place for bridal ready photos or honeymoon

This cabin was extremely unique and incredible. We loved all the vintage items and flare. The outside was the biggest hit. One thing to plan for is the gravel drive up and parking. It was difficult to have more than 4 vehicles up there but we worked it out. That won’t be an issue for the typical guest :) just for future bridal/wedding things with vendors coming up. Other than that it was amazing! Scotty was there when I had any questions. The space heaters were nice to pull out when it got chilly at night.

Unique & Memorable

This home was really something! It felt like we had stepped back in time, and it was enchanting. It was really nice to be able to experience such a gem - especially while having all the amenities the Wiley Mountain Lodge has to offer. I will say that you do need a sense of adventure to fully appreciate it. Those who like the outdoors or enjoy experiencing new things will love it. There is a HUGE deck that we absolutely loved. One day we sat out on it from morning until sundown just reminiscing and catching up! One suggestion to guests is to try to arrive before dark. It can be tough to navigate the roads/driveway if it's your first time and it's after dark. My kids will never remember the Holiday Inn they've stayed in, but they will always remember the Wiley Mountain Lodge. This place will live on in our memories for years to come!
