Mon, 09 Jun 2008, 13:27:14 EDT
SWAINSBORO, Ga., June 9 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Imagine a getaway that provides sporting adventure and spa relaxation. Consider being in a rustic environment that is also luxurious. Delight in a place that caters to the need for fresh air as much as the desire for gourmet dining. These seeming opposites come together splendidly at Flat Creek Lodge in Southeast Georgia. Whether satisfying both the yin and the yang of individuals or pleasing couples with opposite tastes, this hunting and fishing resort and spa can easily delight the most avid sportsman and the most discerning gourmand.
 Flat Creek Lodge offers Summer Sizzler package: Travel between June 15 and August 15, One night of lodging, one night of fine dining and one hearty country breakfast, $199 per person.
OUTDOOR SPORTING
Sporting Club Director Bob Edwards has developed a hunting and fishing program at Flat Creek Lodge that allows for a variety of outdoor sporting adventures. Whether it's for small game such as quail, duck or pheasant or for big game such as wild boar, turkey or white tail deer or even catch- and-release fishing for largemouth bass, Flat Creek Lodge has something to offer a novice or expert sportsman or woman. Yet Flat Creek Lodge also offers its visitors an important bonus - the property maintains ecologically sound practices like using biodegradable sporting clays and non-toxic ammunition.
SPA & BATHHOUSE
A trip to the Spa and Bathhouse at Flat Creek Lodge is a study in relaxation. The rustic, heart pine building housing the Spa overlooks a beautiful lake complete with a fountain and swans, while across the property, the Japanese Bathhouse beckons with private or shared mineral baths and milk soaks. Even better, the milk has traveled only hundreds of yards, straight from the Flat Creek Lodge Dairy. The Spa incorporates many traditional treatments with a special twist from specialized whirlpools to cedar-lined sauna and steam rooms, and the view from the hot tub overlooking the central lake - complete with black swans - is always spectacular. All treatments at the Spa utilize L' Occitane products, and maintain Flat Creek Lodge's environmentally sensitive philosophy.
NATURE TRAILS, BEACH & CABANAS
Flat Creek Lodge offers plenty of opportunity for hiking, biking and nature walks around the spacious property. Bikes can be rented from Flat Creek Lodge, so there is no need to bring one. Guests can also visit the new secluded freshwater beach located where private cabanas are available.
DINING
The Flat Creek Lodge Dining Room serves seasonally appropriate four- and five-course dinners paired with the perfect wines. Based on foods that are grown or caught at Flat Creek Lodge, the menu changes daily, and the ingredients are always fresh. All spring and summer, the onsite Berry Orchards yield blueberries, blackberries and raspberries that make their way straight to the table, and the greenhouses and gardens are in full bloom. The onsite Dairy provides a line of artisan cheeses specially crafted by award-winning Head Cheese Maker Dane Huebner. Guests may also choose to have their own fish or game from the day's hunt prepared for an evening meal. The Dining Room also serves both Continental and Hearty Country Breakfasts and can accommodate daytime picnics, snacks and private or group lunches as well.
