It was breathtaking. Inside, the cabin felt so warm and cozy—soft lighting, wood accents, and that “home away from home” feeling the second you walked in. Evenings were my favorite… watching the sunset paint the sky, then winding down with the people I love most. No rushing, no distractions—just slow, meaningful moments.Wonderful Host

The cabin was as beautiful as pictured. It was very comfortable inside as well as outside. We loved the screen porch and the deck with fire pit. The cabin was easy to reach. The host was helpful. The nearby town of Clayton had some very nice shops and very good restaurants. Great and varied hiking nearby.

This is such a gem of a place! We stay here every time we come to stay in Clayton. It has such a cozy feel and it is 3 miles from town. You would never know it though, you feel like you are deep in the woods. We will be back again and again!

Wonderful Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend at Possum Trot Cabin. It was quiet and relaxed which is exactly what we were hoping for. The house had everything we needed and then some as far as amenities, cookware, utensils, towels, blankets and anything else you could want. The location is perfect for staying away from town or going to it.

January Stay

Cabin was cute, clean and as described. Wood stove is a little tricky but does work according to the instructions provided. We had an issue with water pressure in the bathroom but Christina was very responsive and got us access to the cabin on site for use of that shower. Would stay here again.

Nice cabin with great location

Very clean and comfortable. Tastefully decorated. Outdoor very pretty and in the woods. Really enjoyed the screened in porch with rockers. Had everything we needed. Internet was spotty at times. 5 minutes from downtown Clayton. Steps to bedrooms upstairs are steep. No hot tub which would make a nice addition.

Great Retreat, Beautiful Location, Lovely Cabin

My husband and our two adult daughters went to Possum Trot Cabin. Christine was fantastic, gave us great information about the area, the cabin was decorated perfectly, LOVED the porch and the town of Clayton was charming. The cabin is tucked away in the woods, lots of greenery and super relaxing.

Fabulous, relaxing stay

Christina's "cabin in the woods" is worthy of all the 5 star reviews! Our family was impressed with the attention to details, the decor, the comfort, and the abundance of amenities. The beds and linens were extraordinary; it was difficult to rise to start the mornings. The cabin and surrounding area is so peaceful, along with the charm of Clayton, that we cannot wait to return to this property!

Perfect stay, perfect cabin

We have been going to this general area every year for 25 plus years and this was one of the nicest cabins we have ever rented. It was so clean! Everything was top notch, all the attention to detail! The hostess was very receptive. The property was extremely well maintained!!!! The only thing I would point out is that the main cabin is 1.5 bathrooms not 2+. Was not a problem for us but did want to point that out. I would give this cabin a 10/10! Easy to get to, close to everything yet still in the woods. We would love to go back! Absolutely peaceful and charming. Can’t say enough!
