I spent a very happy week in The Cottage. Charles was an outstanding host, and I could get up early and walk around town and/ or have breakfast or pick up a fresh scone before setting out on excursions each day. The studio apartment is perfect for a solo traveler or two traveling light. It has excellent lighting, a comfortable reading chair, and a double bed. The host has a grill and air fryer available upon request. It was nice to have the garage, but it is small, so cars larger than a sedan would not fit. Getting to the cottage’s entrance is a tad uphill and then three low steps onto the sidewalk that leads to the door. The outdoor area is well lit. Clayton is a quiet town, and you will be just far enough up in the trees you will enjoy a good night’s sleep every night. I highly recommend this lodging and would stay again if travels take me back to Rabun County.

Bill and his wife, Diane are model guests. Kind, considerate, and clean. I rate them as the best. They left the place as they found it, save soiled linens etc. It's my hope that they left with a fond memory and will return, maybe for the fall leaf season in October.
