Georgia Mountain Laurel

Whether your home on one of Rabun County’s lakes is recently acquired or has been in your family for years, you want to be certain that it is safe and secure. This is even more critical if you live elsewhere and use your house on Lake Burton, Lake Seed or Lake Rabun on just an occasional basis.
Since 1973, Mountain Patrol founded by the late Fred Stewart, has been answering the needs of absentee owners who cannot physically look after their lakeside retreats. And as years have gone by, even full-time lake residents are finding the many services Mountain Patrol offers to be both beneficial and affordable.
Fred called it “Peace of Mind” security and, although he died in 2001, his step-daughter Michelle Bramlett purchased the business and she and her husband, David, continue the legacy and the level of service that Fred provided to his customers. In 1973, when Fred first launched the business, his concept of private security was completely new. At that time, Rabun was second in the state, out of 159 counties, in crimes, due to the high number of incidents reported around the lakes. In just one year of operation, Mountain Patrol helped to reduce the property crime rate by 90%, which dropped Rabun County to 134th place.

Last July the Clayton Merchants & Business Association brought us the Clayton Crawl. It was such a spectacular evening filled with fun, food, music and wine that they have decided to do it again! The 2nd Annual Clayton Crawl will be held Saturday July 17th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Join us on Main Street in Clayton in the beautiful mountains of Northeast Georgia and sample great grub from Rabun County’s premiere restaurants.
