About this property

Clayton's 1910, Completely Restored Mill House, business-friendly weekday rates

Experience Christmas the way it should feel at Clayton’s Place. While most rentals stay undecorated and generic, our home is fully transformed for the season—tree, lights, garlands, and all the touches that make the holidays warm and inviting. Why settle for a plain rental with no Christmas atmosphere when you can gather your family in a beautifully decorated home that brings the season to life?

Clayton's 1910 mill house has been in our family for almost 100 years. We took all our experience on VRBO and totally updated it, combining the best of the new while keeping the atmosphere of days gone by.

Business-Friendly Stay: Fast Wi-Fi, Work Desk, Quiet and peaceful setting with discounts for weekday stays.

Relax on the front porch rockers overlooking the small lake or enjoy the sun setting on the deck where it is not unusual to see deer in the evenings.

On the inside, we have updated every room. Enjoy your favorite movie on the 70-inch TVs located in the living room and bedroom.

Clayton's house was built by The Virginia Mills Company in 1910. The mill burned down but some of the houses remain. This one has been in our family for almost 100 years.

In 2021/2022 we took our experience with VRBO to create an experience that we hope you will love. Everything is totally renovated yet we kept the atmosphere of a 1910 house. Several pieces of furniture are original to the house, such as the pie safe.

Whether you are coming to the area to relax or work you will find this house an excellent choice.

The living room features two leather couches, a gas fireplace, a 70 inch smart TV, games, Alexa, and Alexa-enabled lights to create a variety of settings and moods.

The bedroom has a king-size memory foam mattress, room darkening shades, a 70 inch TV, charging plugs for your phones and tablets, Alexa to play your favorite music, and Alexa-enabled lights. We even have two beds for your pets should you need them.

The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook including oven, microwave, and air fryer along with locally sourced coffee and many spices.

The bathroom was completely remodeled and features a rain shower.

The second bedroom is small but features two bunk beds and a Jeffersonian-era desk and a mailbox lamp, which was chosen because Clayton had mailbox 1 when Swepsonville had a post office.

Outside, the property is one acre. The front porch overlooks the small lake, and on weekends in the summer, local bands usually play at the Swepsonville Market, which is across the lake. When playing, you can sit on the porch and listen to the music or walk across the lake and hear the band firsthand.

On the back deck, you can relax with the fire pit during the evenings or grill your favorite food. The backyard is fenced in if you are bringing your pets

If you own an electric car, we have a level 2 EV charger installed with J1772 and Tesla adapter for your convenience.

There are a lot of things to do located within a short distance. Saxapahaw is a restored mill town just 10 minutes away. It features Haw River Farmhouse Ales, The Eddy Pub, Haw River Ballroom, Rivermill (which is a 146-year-old former cotton mill), the Saxaphaw General store, and plenty of outdoor hiking. Clayton's place is only minutes from Burlington, Graham and Mebane and 30 minutes to Raleigh.

A great spot for a weekend getaway!

My wife and I had a wonderful time at this location. It is not far from any location you'd want to visit in the triad area. It is the perfect size for a couple, and if we return would have no issue staying here again!

Beautiful little historic house that’s obviously been well loved and cared for. Clean as a whistle, and just as described in the listing. VERY pet friendly - our dog was super comfortable. The whole process was easy, and the owner was great with communication. Would absolutely stay here again!

Lovely and charming home!

We found the property to be exceptionally clean and inviting. It is located in a nice quiet neighborhood and was perfect for our stay. My husband, unfortunately, wasn’t feeling well, so I did some cooking and we stayed in one night. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed a movie evening at home.

Great cottage

We loved that the cottage was decorated for Christmas! It had every amenity we needed. Even charging station by each night stand. The weather was abnormally cold and the cottage was always warm and toasty. Easy instructions for checkout and checkin. Loved all the modern features. The fridge was stocked with water, local coffee and the list goes on! A wonderful winter escape in the country. It was perfect! TY!

Cute little house with a lot of character

Stayed 2 nights with the dogs. The place is great. Lots of small touches to make you feel at home. Yard is fenced, but if you have small dogs, best to stay with them or bring long leads, they could sneek out in a couple of spots. One small glitch, there was no hot water in the house (reason for 4 stars instead of 5). But the owner was very responsive to the problem. I'd book this house again if I come back to the area.

Thanks. I will check out the fence. We have a 7 lb Yorkie that likes to escape and I used him as a test but he could not find a way out. I am having the hot water issue checked out Tuesday.

Our stay was very relaxing and very enjoyable to stay at Claytons 1910. I'm not complaining but the walk from the car to the house could use a sidewalk-there are stepping stones but are covered by the grass. This house was so clean and well kept I will definitely go back to this house if available when I need it. I'll also let anyone else know about it. Thank you Mike for the experience.

The bed from hell

The bed leg fell into the heating vent. Could have severely injured a child.

The heating vent for the guest bedroom is at the end of the room 6 feet away from the bed and the heating vent, which all have grates is in the middle of where the king size bed is supposed to be but I will run down tomorrow and see if the bed has been moved and the grates removed.

Clean and nice

Everything was great - very clean and nice. Only small suggestion would be improved front porch lighting for after-dark arrivals. As an fyi, we brought our small dog (~20 pound Beagle) and knew that the back yard had a small area with a wooden fence. We couldn't tell from the photos if the fence had wiring to keep the dog contained. It does; however, our dog probably could have jumped over the fence so we kept her on a leash even inside the fenced area.

Thanks. We do have a automatic light on the porch but someone probably turned it off. I’ll get it changed so that is not an option.

What a restful weekend!

This was my first time here and I want to come back! The house was clean and quiet! What a wonderful "extra" to have a fenced in backyard so the dogs could stretch their legs after being at a dog trial all day! There are several places nearby to eat- with a variety of cuisines. Service stations were also close by to get gas on my way home.
