In the northwest corner of Georgia stands Lookout Mountain, as in “look out over the vast landscapes” or “look out, don’t trip and fall off the cliff.”
”The mountain ridge features deep canyons bordered by the Chattahoochee National Forest and extends into the northeast corner of Alabama, reaching into southeast Tennessee.
The scenery is stunning in every season, from the delicate wildflowers and vibrant pink and purple shades of redbud trees, azaleas and rhododendrons in spring, to the fall foliage fireworks, the uncertainty of winter and the ecstasy of summer’s greenery and light breezes.
Rising Fawn, Georgia, on Lookout Mountain, is home to McLemore Resort and epitomizes natural tranquility, away from any hustle and bustle with double the tree species of the northeast and many spectacular waterfalls on display.
The Venue Cloudland at McLemore Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton has been open for a year now, overlooking McLemore Cove — a conserved mountainside with pristine farmland far below. Pictures might be worth a thousand words, but some scenes must be experienced in real life, and this is one of those. Cloudland is a resort for luxury leisure travelers to come and do nothing but be pampered and awestruck by the views, from the moment of entry to the cliff-side zero-edge pool, Skyside Bar and Grill, several other restaurants, and on the golf courses.
A game lawn, mini green, complimentary speed bikes and hiking trails are interspersed among the relaxation spots. Superior rooms highlight the magnificent resort and mountain panorama with floor to ceiling windows and comfortable seating. Eastside positioning greets the morning sunrises and nighttime sparkles with lights in the pool and stars in the dark sky.
Cloudland is very romantic for couples, inspiring for corporate outings and just as ideal for buddy or gal pal trips. Bill Bergin and Rees Jones partnered to redesign aprevious development course, renaming it The Highlands, and carved a second 18-hole beauty from scratch, called The Keep. The Creag is in the middle of it all, housing the pro shop and restaurant at the former location of the 18th green. In the exploratory process, Bill descended through the brush, reemerging bloodied and excitedly shouting about a plateau below, where they then created one of the most dramatic finishing holes on earth.
