FROM OUR REVIEWS
What my "vacation rental" home dreams are made of. Even more beautiful than the pictures. Every single detail has been carefully thought of. Decor looked like it was straight out of a magazine. The grounds are right out of a fairytale. Beds are comfortable, bathrooms beautiful. Felt like an individual oasis. Plenty of space for our family to spread out. So close to downtown Clayton with shops and restaurants, but also private with the extra outdoor deck space and firepits. Property was so fun for our kids to run around in. They played in the meandering creek and picked daffodils. Wonderful, responsive hosts! House is everything that is pictured to be and so much more!
STYLISH YET DURABLE
Situated on 2.5 + gorgeous acres with huge yard and a creek to keep the kids busy while the adults unwind. Parents can relax, with endless outdoor space, durable furnishings, & uncluttered design this space is ULTRA kid & pet friendly.
GREAT FOR GROUPS
Easy to walk downtown while the rest of the group hangs back at the lodge. Plenty of room to spread out or be close together.
WALKABLE
Located less than ½ mile from downtown Clayton. Put the kids in a wagon (provided) and head to town! Downtown is adding new places all the time. Newcomers include Rabun Social Sushi and Tapas and Napa Wine Bar. Stroll to town on paved sidewalks after crossing one street across from City Hall and the *Farmer's Market (*when in season).
