Cathy, wanted to drop you a note to let you know that our division had a great time at Flat Creek Lodge.  The accommodations, events and meals were outstanding!  We could not have been more pleased with everything from start to finish.  The warm southern hospitality that was shown to us by you and your staff was wonderful.  You went out of your way to show us a great time and so many good comments have come back to me about how great the trip was.

Thanks again for your help and hospitality,

Dear Cathy,
You have a truly unique and spectacular facility and I hope to some day be able to show the Liechtenstein Ambassador and perhaps even the Prince your wonderful venue.

Best Wishes,

Flat Creek just may be the best and most complete hunters/vacationer/meeting destination in Georgia.   Many thanks to your staff for directing us there.   We had a wonderful stay and completed what will be a very appealing show for this Fall and Winter.   I will advise you as to the date of its two airings.

“Cathy,

Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the hard work that you and your staff put into making our wedding perfect. You handled every detail with great care.  The out of town guests were so impressed with the Lodge and the attention to every need.  I must rave about Chef Daniel.  The food and the presentation would rival the Ritz.
At a time when the stress level was high, I felt very confident that everything would be beautiful and perfect–and I was not disappointed.
Again, Thank You all.  I will highly recommend the Lodge for any occasion that warrants beauty and a professional yet personal touch.”

Sincerely,

“Just wanted to thank you for allowing us to have our IndustryWeek Best Plant celebration at Flat Creek yesterday.  It’s the talk of the plant this morning and there’s much discussion about holding future events there if possible.  Jim DeVries (VP, Adhesives Global Operations) was also very impressed and expressed several times that he thoroughly enjoyed the event and your facility.

Please thank everyone of your staff as they were extremely friendly and helpful.  Food was wonderful too!  Many thanks on behalf of all of us.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our “private” anniversary at Flat Creek Lodge. The staff, service, facility, accommodations, dining, spa treatment, etc. deserves a 6-star rating. We both grew up on a farm, enjoy hunting & fishing, and easily relate to the tremendous effort accomplished at Flat Creek Lodge. We found the animals and birds entertaining. The facility was beautiful, safe, and serene. We left feeling rejuvenated and look forward to our next visit.

“We have been to many places, but we have never been to a place that made us feel like a king and queen until now!  We experienced what it is like to be treated royally at Flat Creek Lodge and we loved every minute here.  Thank you very much!”

Cathy, We could not let another day go by without letting you and your staff know how much we appreciate your making our granddaughter's, Casey Johnson and Preston Moore's, wedding at Flat Creek one that will never be forgotten. Everything was absolutely wonderful...the food was out of this world as well as the service. The chef is to be commended....he received "raves" from the guests! Your staff was "top notch". We have received so many telephone calls about "how nice" the wedding and reception was. I feel sure that you will get some future reservations as a result of some of the guest enjoying the occasion so much. Thank you again for you and your staff's fine service and kindness.

This past Friday was a very special day for my wife (Nancy) and me.  What a great treat it was to have lunch at Flat Creek Lodge and to have dined in such a fine manner!  You folks made our anniversary special.  The food was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the service was the best!  I have to believe that you went beyond your ordinary manner of doing things, just for us, since the food and service was so extraordinary in itself.  If  Nancy had not been there when I paid, I could have convinced her that it cost much more.  We felt like celebrities, having the place all to ourselves and having such special attention shown to us.
 
God bless you and reward you greatly for making…our already special day…even more special.
 
Sincerely,
 
Joe Eason
