The Indigo Road Hospitality Group Opens Bridge Creek Inn in Clayton, GA
The Indigo Road Hospitality Group has opened Bridge Creek Inn in Clayton, GA, a new addition to its expanding collection of boutique hotels across the Southeast. Managed by The Indigo Road for Ridgeline Investment Partners, the property's owner, this hotel marks a significant milestone in the company's growth.
"We are delighted to open Bridge Creek Inn, a property that perfectly encapsulates the character and spirit of its surroundings," said Larry Spelts, president of Lodging & Lifestyle Adventures at Indigo Road. "This launch underscores our dedication to introducing hotels centered around unique experiences, in line with our fundamental principle of delivering exceptional, personalized hospitality. We look forward to providing our guests with unforgettable experiences at this newly developed, thoughtfully designed property."
The newly opened Bridge Creek Inn features 45 guest rooms, a coffee bar, and versatile indoor and outdoor event spaces. Situated on the historic site of South Main Street and Derrick Street, where a hotel has existed since the 19th century, the property has been thoughtfully restored, maintaining its historic charm.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of Rabun County, including mountains, waterfalls, lakes, and rivers, Bridge Creek Inn offers guests access to many outdoor activities in the area, including hiking, fishing, white water rafting, and golf. Its proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains makes it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts and adventurers.

The Vandiver, opening in Spring 2024, is an American tavern-style restaurant located on the main floor of the Bridge Creek Inn, also conceived and operated by The Indigo Road. With a name inspired by local lore, The Vandiver will be open to hotel guests and the public, and the menu will showcase a curated selection of classic dishes with a modern twist.
