Lucille’s Mountain Top Inn & Spa is located in the mountains of Northeast Georgia, approximately 90 miles north of metro Atlanta and approximately 90 miles west of Greenville, SC. Close enough to get to easily, but just far enough to feel like a world away. Lucille’s is ideally located for exploring the natural beauty and adventures of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, but with all the comforts of a small luxury inn and day spa to make your visit exceptionally relaxing.
Our interactive map highlights the many options for dining, shopping, wineries, activities, and attractions surrounding the inn.
