The house was great the views unbelievable.Always something for everyone in the Clayton area.Erica was a great host and quick to respond.We had the best time.
Such a lovely mountain house! Amazing view & beautifully decorated house! So close to the cute downtown with wonderful restaurants & shops. Lots of hiking options close by. We will definitely be back next fall!
The house was perfect for our family group of 3 couples. King beds for all and separate living areas for a little down time between outings! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed for a dinner at home and breakfast in the mornings. Clayton was just a 5 minute drive down the mountain!

Vicki, thank you again for staying with us!
We did change the water filter this weekend, which resolved the low water pressure. Next time, please let us know during your stay, and we'll be happy to resolve the issue so you can enjoy your stay to it's fullest!
In regard to the chairs on the porch, we have 15 seats available on the upper level back porch; 4 seats available on the front porch; and 5 seats available on the lower level porch.
Thank you again for staying at Retreat at the Ridge!
Beautiful cabin just a few minutes from downtown Clayton but it feels like you're miles away. Warm & cozy, beautifully decorated mountain top cabin with views that go on for days. From just about every corner of this home you have a view of the outdoors or mountains. The sun coming in all the windows & lots of blankets...best nap spaces! And plenty of space & room for everyone to have a place to read, take a nap, watch a movie but still cozy for our family to just hang out together, cook, play games. Fully stocked kitchen with everything you need. Loved the gas stove! Plenty of plush towels, hair dryers & the softest sheets I've ever slept on. Stocked with soaps, shampoos, cleaning supplies & a wine selection you can purchase from. This cabin was great for our family of 5, everyone had their own room & would be amazing for teens or if you have adult children with their family, because of the 2nd sitting area, bedrooms & bath downstairs. And a large kitchen to share. From both main floor & the first floor you have access to a wonderfully large back porch to enjoy your coffee or eat al' fresco. And the neighbors, if you meet them, very welcoming.

About the host
Hosted by Erica
Hi, I'm Erica!
Thank you for considering staying with us during your visit. Whether you're coming for business, pleasure, or to just get away, we know you'll enjoy our mountain home.
As a host, we're happy to help with recommendations for your stay. Whether you're looking for restaurants, a cocktail, shopping, or babysitters, we can steer you in the right direction!
Personally, my husband and I love (love, love, love) to travel. We've most recently been to the French Riviera, St. Barth's, Anguilla, and on a catamaran trip in the British Virgin Islands. AirBNB has helped us find cute & cozy rentals both domestically and internationally. We're big fans!!
Looking forward to meeting you!

Why they chose this property
We searched high & low for the perfect property over the past twelve months. After a few heartbreaks and a few houses we're now uber thankful we didn't say "yes" to, we found the PERFECT home: Retreat at the Ridge. It's located one hour from our home in Gainesville, GA - so it's a quick & easy getaway. We adore downtown Clayton, the area's hiking & outdoor activities, and we're big fans of Lake Burton. And the views from Retreat at the Ridge are KILLER!
We travel often with other couples and the biggest challenge is always finding a home that offers proper bedding and bathrooms to accommodate all adults. Retreat at the Ridge offers 3 king bedrooms, 1 queen bedroom, and 3 full baths. It's the perfect layout to accommodate a group of friends or family!
What makes this property unique
While you're only 5 minutes away from downtown Clayton's shopping, dining, and activities, you feel like you're a world away once you pull into Retreat at the Ridge. The outdoor spaces are perfect for coffee & cocktails, watching it rain, entertaining guests, or just staring off into the views.
Guests feel like they can spread out and find their own privacy between the two living rooms, the loft, the two large outdoor back decks, the front porch, and the large bedrooms.
