    Willow Creek Inn is nestled at the base of Bushyhead Mountain, named for a Cherokee Indian Chief that is said to have lived in the same location. The property was purchased by Marshall Carroll in 1969 and is part of the original Georgia Mountain Water properties. Mr. Carroll bought the property as a retreat for his family and church. Mr. Carroll's daughter, Gail Johnson, is the owner and manager of the properties and the host at Willow Creek Inn. There is also a small working family farm at Willow Creek with goats, chickens, turkeys, and a golden retriever, Gracie. Behind the inn we have a cottage garden featuring Mel Bartholomew's square foot garden concept. On site activities include fishing & canoeing, in our private stocked lake, hiking, volleyball, ping pong, and basketball. Take the 6 mile ride into the charming small town life of Blue Ridge and stroll down main street and shop at the many antique stores or take a ride on the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway. If the season is right, you can raft the Ocoee River, home of the 1996 Olympics or tube down the Toccoa River. Merciers Orchard is open 7 days a week and offers lunch. Be sure to take home a bushel of apples and some fried pies. The Inn is open year round and offers 6 rooms in the main house.

    Just what you are looking for...

    September 24, 2012

    We were looking for a quiet mountain get away. Gail and her staff at the Inn at Willow Falls granted us the peaceful retreat we were in search of while attending to every detail. Details: warm delicious breakfasts, hospitality throughout each day in addition to arrival, homemade breads and cakes, s'mores by the fire pit, lakeside walks, sweet attentive staff and a sense of home away from home. This is a great vacation spot for families as well as couples in need of R & R.

    September 15, 2012

    We had a wonderful time at this inn. It is truly beautiful here and they created a very warm atmosphere for us and our 9 week old daughter. They even made homemade cake for my wife's birthday which was a wonderful surprise!

    Great family getaway!

    May 29, 2012

    My family and I were looking for a last minute mini-vacation in the north Georgia mountains. With kids of ages two, seven, and fifteen, my husband and I are always looking for activities that will interest everyone. The Inn at Willow Falls had it all! The guys had lots of luck fishing, while the girls and I went back and forth between playing in the lake and petting all the animals. For a "city" family like us, it was quite an experience to see goats, chickens, cows and turkeys! The location was great, too - just a short ride into Blue Ridge where we had dinner. My favorite part, however, as with many bed and breakfast inns, was the breakfast itself! Mostly all organic and natural, we were in heaven with Gail's meal. Fresh farm eggs, grain pancakes and local honey made it special. All in all, this was a great place.

    Peaceful getaway in the mountains!

    March 29, 2011

    We recently stayed at Willow Creek for our 29th anniversary. We truly were pampered by Gail, the owner and inn keeper. The room was cozy and comfortable. The food was unbelievable and very tasteful. We took advantage of having the evening meal at the inn and it was better than most restaurants! This is a place you can experience nature and truly sense God's presence! Looking forward to another stay at Willow Creek!
