Christmas on the Mountain
Beautiful cabin just a few minutes from downtown Clayton but it feels like you're miles away. Warm & cozy, beautifully decorated mountain top cabin with views that go on for days. From just about every corner of this home you have a view of the outdoors or mountains. The sun coming in all the windows & lots of blankets...best nap spaces! And plenty of space & room for everyone to have a place to read, take a nap, watch a movie but still cozy for our family to just hang out together, cook, play games. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. Loved the gas stove! Plenty of plush towels, hair dryers & the softest sheets I've ever slept on. Stocked with soaps, shampoos, cleaning supplies & a wine selection you can purchase from. This cabin was great for our family of 5, everyone had their own room & would be amazing for teens or if you have adult children with their family, because of the 2nd sitting area, bedrooms & bath downstairs. And a large kitchen to share. From both main floor & the first floor you have access to a wonderfully large back porch to enjoy your coffee or eat al' fresco. And the neighbors, if you meet them, very welcoming.

Beautiful views!
The house was perfect for our family group of 3 couples. King beds for all and separate living areas for a little down time between outings! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a dinner at home and breakfast in the mornings. Clayton was just a 5 minute drive down the mountain!
