About this property

Walk to town and enjoy fall colors and holiday shopping!

Charming family/pet friendly (required pet fee) home is an easy walk from one of the best streets in town! This three-bedroom house is tucked away on a quiet lane overlooking town, and features beautiful year-round mountain views.

Enjoy your coffee on our back deck with woodsy views, drive up to Black Rock mountain, then stroll downtown for shopping and a delicious meal. This gracious home is loved by guests not only for its walkability but also for its thoughtful, curated interior and attention to comfort.

The fully-stocked charming green kitchen features warm rusticity while providing modern convenience and amenities. The cozy wood-paneled living area invites relaxation while the 75" tv adjusts down to eye level for a movie theater experience.

The master is a California king Tempur-pedic for a night of pure sleeping pleasure--a zen sanctuary at the end of a full day! We use quality linens on all beds and supply plenty of extra towels in the ensuite bath.

The second bedroom is its own private retreat with windows that welcome the new morning with red sunrises. The second bathroom is tucked away in the same hallway as the second bedroom, but the bathroom is accessible to the whole house.

The third bedroom features a twin daybed with an additional twin cot and baby pack 'n play available upon request. Note that the third bedroom is a bedroom/office room and is an anterior room to the master, with a door between it and the master but not between it and the rest of the house.

Hang out on the back porch that offers long-range views of mountains as well as the neighbor's flower farm just below. Enjoy the yard or walk the quiet lane that leads among the trees. This home is for relaxing.
Note: While your smaller dog is welcome, a pet fee is required. If you are bringing two small dogs, please include 2 pet fees. Please make sure you add that fee before check out.

* Ask about early check-in and late check-out. We can try to accommodate if possible *

"A beautiful and peaceful country cottage! The property is exactly as described—cozy, clean, and in a great location to downtown Clayton. We couldn't have asked for a better place to unwind. The host (Trish) was great to communicate with, and the check-in process was a breeze. 5/5 stars all around!" The added treats and kitchen amenities were an added bonus. Thank you, Trish

The property is pet friendly and has a yard, which is an absolute must for us. The house is decorated so cute with little Knick knacks in corners, in window sills. Huge flat screen tv was great for watching the golf tournament. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you want to cook ( which we didn’t) too many nice restaurants. The hosts were very quick to respond when a storm knocked out the tv . The peach bread and jam the hosts provided were our breakfast every morning,. If we came back to this area we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

This property was amazing! The hosts really have thought of every detail to make our stay very easy. The house is gorgeous, with lots of natural light but also a cozy in-the-woods feel reminiscent of a cabin. The street is very secluded and super quiet at night. The star of the show is probably the kitchen, is it’s gorgeous but also incredibly well stocked with every kitchen necessity you could want. The master bath was an absolute treat and felt luxurious. The master bedroom is spacious, with a king bed. The living room feels like a lodge/cabin with lots of natural wood and a stone mantle under the tv. There’s plenty of outdoor seating on the wrap around deck and screened in patio. The proximity to downtown Clayton is incredible. It’s walking distance to an amazing Cuban restaurant, although the walk back up the hill might be a bit much in the July heat. Would definitely recommend this property and I definitely plan on staying here again!

The sweetest little jewel box!The pictures truly do not do this little house justice. It is absolutely adorable, incredibly warm and cozy, and you can tell so much thought and care went into every detail.We stayed with another couple, and at one point some of their kids came by to visit, so we had a full house for a couple of hours. It was so much fun sitting around watching football, laughing, and enjoying the house together. Even with a houseful, it was comfortable and welcoming.The view is just lovely, and we especially enjoyed the little side porch. It was the perfect spot to sit with a glass of wine and take it all in. The linens and towels were first-class, and the beds and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The host did such a wonderful job of thinking of everything we could possibly need — and then adding thoughtful extras on top of that. She was also fantastic about communicating with us before our arrival, which made everything so easy.The location was another huge plus. It’s so close to downtown, and since the weather was beautiful, we were able to easily walk into town. The neighborhood was lovely, too. The neighbors were so friendly — everyone waved and spoke as we walked by.We absolutely loved our stay and would happily come back. This is one of those places that feels special the minute you walk through the door. Five stars all the way!

About the host

Hosted by Trish Buschman

Host profile image
As a traveler myself, I love to provide people with authentic experiences in comfortable lodging. I aim to be responsive, enthusiastic, and helpful to give guests the best getaway possible. Life is stressful, and you're trying to get away and relax, let me do all the preparation and research for you!

Why they chose this property

Clayton is a quaint downtown nestled in the mountains. It has an authentic vibe without being touristy. The easy walk down the block from our house really sold us on the property and has provided for memorable nights with family and friends!

What makes this property unique

For us, it is about the details that make this house unlike most that purchase furniture and accessories off the floor. This is a curated, intentional collection thoughtfully layered to create an authentic sense of the well-considered home. Most of the furniture and linens are hand-selected, authentic pieces. For example, the guest room bed cover is an authentic suzani from Central Asia and the bamboo dressing table is vintage hand painted.
