An adorable cottage that is private. Deer visits are so special and it’s in walking distance to the quaint downtown. I couldn’t have been more relaxed in this charming cottage. The owners are great and respect your privacy .

Private and quaint Oasis

I had the pleasure of staying here for a few months while my home was being renovated right down the street. It was perfection!! It’s an adorable cottage that is nestled in the woods with visits from deer that of course bring peace. It was great to open the door and bring the fresh air in from the screened porch. Even the rock driveway running through the trees had the most beautiful soft green moss . It’s was fabulous!! The host is exceptional and very kind.

Even better than expected

The home had everything you could need. The property manager was very responsive. 11am check-out was nice surprise. Beds very comfortable. Firepit and grill were great. Just a great little town nearby, while still feeling like you're in a very remote area.

2nd time we have stayed here while we were racing our JRT’s at the Rabun county Arena. Property is well maintained. Gives you that woodsy feel but is in walking distance to downtown Clayton.

Retreat in the city

What a great spot! The house is in a somewhat community setting, but set off the road in the woods, so feels very secluded. We were easily within walking distance to mainstreet. A great way to have a quiet place to relax and sleep with access to the city of Clayton, and all the near by parks and national forest areas. The space itself was comfortable for 2 people and 2 smaller pups. I look forward to coming back again!

This is our 4th stay at this rental and as always, it is just what we need. Close to everything but peaceful and quiet. It also has everything you need to prep for meals, make coffee and sit out under the trees and listen to nature. It is clean and perfect for our weekend stays. Will rent again for our next trip to Clayton.

Close to downtown and easy drive to Lake Burton.

We stayed here so as not to overcrowd our family home at Lake Burton. Location is great, cabin as advertised. Wi-Fi signal was strong enough for online meetings and conferences. Easy to jog and get around.

About the host

Hosted by Heather

We live in Atlanta and love to travel.

Why they chose this property

Our home in North Georgia is where we go to relax and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and slower pace of life. It took us many years to find just the right home in this area. Rabun Retreat is perfect to us for its simple floorplan, private location and close proximity to everything.

What makes this property unique

We love that when staying at the cottage, it feels like we are a million miles away from it all. But, we can just as easily take a quick 10 minute walk into town for coffee, dinner or cocktails. It is truly the best of both worlds and our favorite place to relax.
