Tonya's house was very clean, super cute, and just as described! The kitchen was amazing and the whole place was comfy and cozy! The first night we arrived, we sat on the front porch and watch the deer walk up the road, listened to the birds until late, and watch the fireflies flitter around after it got dark. It was so peaceful and just what we needed for our getaway!

Ohhhh, it warms my heart reading your review. I saw a deer in the yard, fireflies, and the groundhog in the back yard!! My favorite thing to do is have my coffee in the porch and listen to the birds! I hope you made it to some waterfalls! We have so many and the house is convenient to all of them! You are welcome anytime! Tanya

This gem of a cottage is in Clayton GA. We were a little over a mile from downtown but it felt very rural. The whole experience was fantastic. Weather was hot, but we stayed cool under the trees. Beautiful yard full of flowers. WARNING! There is no washer or dryer, so prepare for that. There are also gremlins in the cottage. They hid my hats and glasses until we left. Tanya contacted us and followed up until our stuff was returned. She is a great host. We will definitely stay here again when we come to Clayton again.

Location was good and stores were nearby. The cabin itself was beautiful and cozy. Really enjoyed the layout of it. The whole cabin was clean however the fridge reaked of fish and that smell made its way into everything we put in it. Also, would’ve liked to see a better equipped kitchen. Overall stay was solid aside from the smell.

Response from VrboOwner on Oct 20, 2025
I always ask in the welcome letter to check everything at check in and let me know if there’s any problems. As it turns out the guest before you had crab legs in the refrigerator obviously they didn’t cover them. So I had my Cleaning team come in with a steamer to clean the frig again. The fridge smells great now. I’m sorry that happened to you guys,. But had I known sooner I would’ve had it cleaned professionally to eliminate the fish odor for you. I’d love to know what else I could put in the kitchen. I have a waffle iron, coffee, maker, blender, toaster, crockpot, and an oven that has a dehydrator and an air fryer. I have skillets, pots and pans of all sizes, baking dishes, cookie sheets, flatware, dishes, wine glasses. There’s even a lemon squeezer and a shrimp deveiner. Thank you, Tanya
