Escape to Relax at Our 2br 2ba Classy Clayton Family Cottage 5min To Downtown

Not your typical mountain cabin. This is our updated and well furnished Clayton Cabin.

2 bedroom and 2 full bathroom cottage in Clayton, N. Georgia! Just off Hwy 76 and close to Downtown Clayton, our Cottage is probably one of the nicest most updated cottages you will visit; in one of our favorite mountain towns, CLAYTON! It's not just a rental, it's where we like to escape too. Completely remodeled inside and out, sits just on top of the hill off Hwy 76 - which takes you to Lake Burton, Hiawassee, Helen, Downtown Clayton and more. Central AC and Heat, New paint, new floors, new everything, including kitchen supplies.

Everything you will need in the kitchen, even a Kitchen Aid Mixer. Plates, Dishes, Glasses, Brew Coffee and Kcup coffee. Utensils, Woks, Frying Pans... you name it. Queen size beds in both rooms, leather reclining couches with USB ports in living room (kids love sleeping on them) and room for an air mattress (we left one there for you) all new appliances, a 50+ inch flat screen TV with Hulu in Living Room and TV in Master, XboxOne, and BlueRay Dvd player. Free Wifi throughout, even small office space and extra work from vacation home supplies (printer, keyboard, monitor - PC, not Mac)


Full size stacked washer and dryer in master bedroom just behind the sliding barn door which leads to the full bath and shower. In hall find another full bath and 2nd amply sized guest bedroom.

Take in the views of the farmland and watch the world go by from the front patio or BBQ a bit out on the back patio. VIEW From Porch: https://youtu.be/yMLAWKfghzI

Roast some marshmallows, sure - go ahead, there is a small fire pit out back too! We love our cottage and we hope it shows when you visit and you will love it too. Great for families, hikers, couples, wine country explorers, antiquers, or just those looking to get away but do so comfortably - this is the spot for you.

Lovely Cozy Cottage

This cozy cottage was beautifully decorated and impecably furnished with everything one would need. A perfect place to snuggle up with your partner or a bestie. Have your morning coffee on the front porch with a view of the mountains. The host was extremely accommodating and friendly. Great place!

Annual Cousin's Trip

The cottage was comfortable and in a great location. We were close to Clayton and in an easy distance to several great wineries. Very thorough directions made locating the cottage easy. The only drawback for us was the small bar in the kitchen which served for an eating area. It was too small for assembling jigsaw puzzles, so we had to purchase some foam board to create a larger surface. There was a good assortment of puzzles--but a card table to use in putting them together would have been helpful. The bar was well lighted, so the area worked well after covering it with two pieces of foam board.

The cottage is immaculate and quite comfortable. It's close to a lot of good things - places to eat, Foxfire Museum, and Tallulah Gorge. We drove to Helen and enjoyed the leaves on the way, and visited Hardman Farms while there. Andrew was very helpful.

Great Stay

This stay initially was to be a girls get away with a high school friend but Hurricane Helene got in the way and my friend lived too far to chance not getting gas to get home. We stayed here last year and really enjoyed the cottage. So my husband and I live only an hour's drive away and decided to go and stay as the cottage had power and we didn't. Clayton is a neat little town as well. It was a nice visit.

Clayton Cottage

A very nice, comfortable home, nicely appointed and a convenient location. Unfortunately, we were there during Hurricane Helene, lost power for 6-8 hours and never regained phone and internet service. Not at all owner's fault, and considering the devastation Helene caused nearby areas, we were blessed

Wonderful place to stay , very well.stocked . We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching cows. Once we found it loved the location to town and other areas near by. Even though we live only 30inutes north it felt like we were farther away. We loved jist siting on the reclining sofas and just chilling . We loved our stay and hop3 to return on the future .

Perfect little get-away home

The home in Clayton is wonderful! Perfect for 4 adults (or family of 4). House was clean, well-stocked (one of the best stocked homes I have ever stayed in), easy access to and from towns (and lake). The beds were great, in fact my son's girlfriend said her bed was one of the most comfortable beds she has ever slept in! Wouldn't hesitate to stay in the home again. The host was very responsive and so helpful. Wonderful home!

Well stocked and comfy cottage close to town

Clayton Cottage had plenty of room for our family of 5. We never felt crowded or on top of each other. The cottage is well stocked with everything you could need. I feel like it was better than described! When we stayed, the weather was pretty cold (20’s at night, 40’s during the day) and we were not cold inside- the central heat worked well and there were also wall heaters in the bedrooms and plenty of blankets. The beds were super soft, almost too soft for us, but that’s personal preference so don’t let that deter you. The cottage was easy to find, even arriving in the dark (just note the GPS will likely tell you to turn just before the cottage) and there is a paved circular driveway. The cottage is close to town (but not walking distance) and there is a grocery store and multiple restaurants and/or fast food close by. The cabin also has plenty of pots/pans/dishes if you want to cook. We did a combination of cooking and eating out- Universal Joint and Fortfy Pi were awesome. We took side trips to Black Rock Mountain State Park, Tallulah Gorge State Park, Helen, and Scaly Mountain, NC for snow tubing. The cottage was a great home base for all of these adventures. It is on a road where the speed limit is 55- there is not much traffic, but definitely something to be mindful of if you have small children and want to be able to let them play outside. And also when you’re making a left out of the driveway sometimes people were coming up really fast. Overall we really enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend it.
