WOW! Southeast Georgia is abuzz with the big news going on down the road in Millen, Georgia, with the Camp Lawton discovery! Camp Lawton is a Civil War Confederate prison... and it's been hidden for nearly 150 years. There will be more details when the official first public glimpse happens, and we'll keep you updated.

Since we're so close in terms of hotels and lodging by Millen and Camp Lawton, we're thrilled to welcome Civil War buffs, historians and tourists to the area.  And for those of y'all new to Flat Creek - in addition to our good 'ole Southern hospitality, you're close to discovering Southeast Georgia's premier Hunting & Fishing Resort & Spa.  Hunters and non-hunters alike love our luxurious and unique lodge rooms... and all enjoy marveling in the natural beauty that we call home.  Our spa in itself is a popular getaway, and it's tough to resist our artisan award winning cheese. Our fine dining room is open for reservations as well.
