The Parker Ranch in Clayton has been welcoming people with warmth and simplicity for over 110 years. The eight-bedroom lodge, nestled on 14 acres of sheltering trees, is the perfect place for friends and family to gather, or for individual travelers to pop in for the weekend.
A trip into town is an easy one-mile jaunt. There you will enjoy the local shopping and scrumptious dining of Main Street, Clayton. Afterwards, relax on over 3,000-square-feet of peaceful covered porches with a favorite book or a good conversation. Your only interruption may be the occasional sound of a screen door closing …music to the ear.
In addition to the lodge, there are two cabins available for rent. One has two bedrooms, the other one. Both have fully equipped kitchens.
The Parker Ranch was built in 1907 as the Atlanta LeCraw family’s summer home. The lodge inherently imbues a sense of peaceful, old-fashioned enjoyment. Sometime mid-century, the Parkers purchased the property, named it the Parker Ranch and rented ‘Tourist Rooms’ with home-cooked meals. A few iterations later, owners Becky Hoover and Paula Jones are now the proprietors… back at the Ranch.
The Ranch regularly schedules workshops on writing, photography, yoga, fly fishing… you name it. There is always something fun going on.
They also host retreats, reunions and weddings. The lodge has a wonderful oak-paneled great room with a huge stone fireplace which is perfect for cozy evenings. The beautiful bead board dining hall will accommodate large groups for catered meals or classes.
The recently completed event building, the Gatehouse at the Parker Ranch, has already hosted a dance and movement weekend, a carpentry workshop, seated business dinners, a retirement celebration, music concerts and weddings. Becky and Paula invite you to think of the Gatehouse as your celebration spot.
For a special stay or special event, the beauty and tranquility of the Parker Ranch is ready for you.
