| Gayle's Chocolate Tart for our Valentine's Celebration Dinner |
|
Dear Friends:
Lots of changes are coming to our corner of North Georgia. The Old Clayton Inn just sold to an investment group planning to make it a resort hotel, more restaurants are opening on Main Street in Clayton,
Julep Farms is developing 22 Acres in Dillard,
Old Edwards Inn recently purchased the York House Inn, and rents are going up everywhere. For better or worse a lot of things are happening and it is pretty exciting. At a recent city council meeting the mayor asked our opinion about the planed investment for the Old Clayton Inn. Gayle and I agreed we are cautiously optimistic. To fill their rooms they will need to spend a huge amount of money to promote our area and that property. This investment benefits every tourism related business, but it will change our small town dramatically. We are about to get bigger.
Gayle and I came here 20 years ago and during these years have made a huge investment in our property. We have tried to partner with our community to make our corner of North Georgia better not worse. We hope these newcomers will think, communicate and cooperate as partners and make everything even better still. "A rising tide lifts all boats."
Hope to see you soon,
David, Gayle, Renee, Vicki and Olga

Big Changes Coming - Old Clayton Inn to be Re-Purposed as Luxury Resort Hotel
The Old Clayton Inn, empty for many years, was recently purchased by Everest Investments, led by Henk Evers. He was the former principle of Chateau Elan.
Their planned
approach would be to add two floors to the top of the building and also have a roof-top deck lounge. The property would also include a
pool, water fall, courtyard, spa and dining on the ground level. 70 guest rooms are planned and lots of meeting space. The Investment group is also purchasing other nearby properties to ensure adequate parking and additional meeting space. They hope for very high occupancy for both weekdays and weekends. https://www.theclaytontribune.com/news-subscribers/new-life-clayton-inn

Wander North Georgia Families - Josh on Left |
"You know how Thanksgiving and Christmas always stir up something nostalgic in you? Something that is part wishful and part memory? A small fire in the fireplace, the smell of something delicious in the oven, the low hum of conversation? It's being around people who are giving every single thing they do great care and attention. It's a warmth that has less to do with a temperature and more about something you feel down in your soul. That may be an odd way to start a profile about a bed and breakfast, but every time we visit the
Beechwood Inn
, walk through the doors and begin talking to David and Gayle, it's the first thing that comes to mind and the first thing we feel. It's a well-known feeling yet hard to put a finger on or describe. But it's a feeling of familiarity and a feeling of coming home." Read the rest of the Blog https://www.wandernorthgeorgia.com/beechwood-inn/
