Beautiful Peaceful Retreat

What a beautiful place to stay. Loved being surrounded by woods and the peacefulness. Our hosts were accommodating when we had questions and we could not ask for a better place to stay while our Boys were camping. Would love to stay there again in the future.

comfort nestled in nature

We loved our stay here! Cabin was very clean and well equipped. Location was perfect for us. Tucked away in the woods, down from a small lake. Clayton has a lot to offer and also very close to other destinations that we traveled to.

Perfect place!

This was a wonderful place tucked back into the woods. Very quiet and friendly area. I travel alone for work and was never concerned about my safety. The owner is close by and is such a treat if you get to meet her!

Well-appointed cabin in convenient location

The owner thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The location is convenient to all northern Georgia and western North Carolina and South Carolina have to offer. Private setting but close to town with a few neighbors nearby.

Great getaway near mountain hikes

The place was cozy and just what we needed to relax, have some campfires and go hiking. It was close to town for groceries, but tucked away in the woods with a small scenic lake nearby. Barbara was great and went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of.
