Excellent Location

This property's location is second-to-none, right in downtown Clayton with all the shops and restaurants right outside the door. Within 15-20 minutes drive of Black Rock Mtn State Park, Tallulah Gorge State Park, and picturesque Lake Rabun. For four adults, seating in common area was generous with plenty of bathrooms along with spacious bedrooms and larger kitchen. Beds were a comfortable medium-firm, linens soft and comfortable. Unit was clean and tidy, though there were no extras like complimentary refreshments/coffee nor a list of 'things-to-do' in the area. The water pressure in the primary bath was sorely lacking. Was disappointed that no check out instructions (other than check out time) were provided as I always want to ensure we leave a rental property better than it was found. Given its ideal location, I would stay at this property again.

Paid too much for what we got.

After paying over $700.00 for a two night stay (watch out for the piling on of fees and taxes), the wifi didn't work, the fireplace didn't work, there were bugs in the light fixtures, and some of the light fixtures in the bathroom didn't even have light bulds. But what really irked us was there was not coffee. For $700.00+ there should be some coffee and condiments for the guess. Oh, and anytime you're on the 1st floor, your get to listen the neighbor's dog bark constantly. Never again.

Water issues

The house itself is nice, clean and has all the essentials. What we are furious with is not being able to shower. The master shower had zero water. Not low pressure...no water. My husband took a shower in the hall, that did work, but he showered in dirty standing water. The water backed up and took forever to drain. Desperately need to clean the line and address the master shower not working. I didnt want to shower in dirty water so i washed my entire body with a face cloth and resorted to washing my hair, and our daughters hair in the kitchen sink. We did call the # to tell them about the issue. Honestly if the water issue had not been an issue I would have given this location a 5 star.

Underwhelmed and Overpriced

Cute place, well decorated but unfortunately there were some serious issues. The fire alarm was malfunctioning from the minute we arrived. It was never fixed properly and went off throughout the night waking us up. The second bedroom was advertised as a queen size but it is a full size and made it uncomfortable for our guests. The view is terrible. An abundance of liter all over the back with an abandoned 18 wheeler directly out the back door. There’s an access road just past the trash….Mountain View is way off in the distance past the cell tower. The check out time of 10am is extremely early especially based on the nightly rate. Overall the unit is overpriced for what you get.

Perfect spot to enjoy Downtown Clayton!

This townhome is in a perfect location to enjoy the restaurants and shops in Clayton, GA. Step right outside your front door and you have arrived! There are many wonderful shops and restaurants within just a minute or two of walking. While you are in the heart of "downtown", it is still quiet and not overcrowded. I was only there for a brief stay but my teenage daughter and I enjoyed shopping, eating, going to a movie theatre, going to a drive-in movie, and driving up scenic Black Rock Mountain for the views. Oh and the grocery store is within minutes as well. The unit was clean and comfortable too!
