About Us
The Lodge at Hartley Oaks is conveniently located 14 miles from the Florida-Georgia border and 8 miles outside of the town of Folkston. The grounds of the property date back to the 16th century, with further development across the railroad in the early 1900's of the former town known as Newell. While the town is no longer there, the railroad the town was created because of is still operating and can be heard from the grounds. Explore the adventures of Okefenokee Swamp located 18 miles away and learn the local history of the refuge.
