The Garden Cottage is a wonderful step back in time and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We will definitely be visiting again! Our hosts responded quickly to our questions and were extremely helpful and friendly!
The house we rented was very cozy. I liked that there were a lot of unique paintings on the walls, a lot of signs, and I also liked that it was in the center, very close to downtown.
The cottage was so cute! We loved all the vintage decor! Felt like stepping back in time! Very close to antique shops, great food, and the foxfire museum! The house was a little smaller than we anticipated. We are all tall and XL and made it difficult to navigate around each other in the small rooms.
We went to Clayton to be close to some great hiking. Very cute cottage, 3 minute drive from Clayton proper. Close enough to walk but the main road lacked sidewalks near the cottage. Itâs on a quiet side street. The cottage is as shown, lots of kitsch. The screened porch is secluded enough that it was lovely place to read a book.
If you like charm and nostalgia, this 1940's cottage is for you. On-street parking leads up several stone steps through a beautifully landscaped yard, giving a secluded feel despite being a convenient, one-minute drive to Clayton restaurants and shops (it's very close but not walkable). The home is very clean and comfortable with nice touches like a vintage fridge and farmhouse sink, screened-in porch, and huge main bathroom with a claw-foot soaking tub, barnwood walls, and chandelier. We didn't do much cooking being so close to Clayton, but the kitchen was well-stocked. We had a very nice three-night stay.
Location was very convenient to the dining and shopping. The kitchen was well stocked. It was great to relax in the glider rocker on the screen porch after sunset.
I enjoyed my stay. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you would need and a grill out back. Property was close to stores and places to eat. Perfect place to stay in the beautiful mountains.
Be careful walking to town from this cottage! While the location is a walkable *distance* from Clayton shops and restaurants, the .3 miles closest to the house do NOT have a sidewalk, are on a bend where cars often speed through, is not very well lit at night, and have you walking on very small shoulders and through people's front yards. We did not feel very safe walking that portion of the otherwise very do-able trek. The inside of this cabin is exactly as pictured (adorable!) and the owners provide all the necessities for a nice stay. Do be sure to note that there is no dishwasher, and that only 1 of the 2 bathrooms has a shower (the other is tub only). But everything was clean, well-stocked, and comfy. The location was a great jumping off point to area hikes, and we certainly enjoyed a quick getaway in this rental!
Thank you, we enjoyed our stay. The location was very convenient and we felt very comfortable. I really appreciated the owner of the property shipping my laptop back to me since I left it behind. It was a very kind gesture! The whole process from booking to the end of our trip was seemless!
It was perfect, everyday my wife and I found some new antique that we didnt see the day before. Every room felt nice and cozy. Coffee on the front porch is a must. Thank you for a great week.
We had the most wonderful stay at this charming cottage! It was cozy, beautifully decorated, and felt like a true escape from the hustle of everyday life. We especially loved relaxing on the porch and soaking in the peaceful mountain air. Every detail was thoughtfully done, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone needing a little reset in a beautiful, serene setting!
Property was just as advertised, a very cute and cozy spot. My wife and I enjoyed the week we stayed here being so close to the city of Clayton, within walking distance. This is our second visit to ClaytonâŠplenty of nice shops and good restaurants. Just down the road from the cottage is a very nice winery, Tiger Mountain VineyardsâŠworth the visit. All in all, the cottage is a comfy, convenient location for a coupleâs getaway.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Garden Cottage! It is super cute and unique with lots of character. It is very close to town for shopping and dinner! A short drive to many state parks, lakes, and adventures!
Rabun County was our family vacation spot. In 2014 my wife and I bought this cottage, just to see how much we would use a second home. It didn't take long to realize that we needed to devise a plan to live here permanently. I've been a professional photographer for 35 years and love exploring what the world has to offer. No matter where we travel, I'm always counting the days 'til I can get back to Clayton. I am currently a Real Estate Agent in Rabun County. Let me know if you would like to Explore a home perfect for you.
We absolutely love everything about this property. We restored every room, without destroying its 1950 charm. We used it for 4 years as a weekend house, and 1 year as our permanent residence. We could live in 800 square feet just fine, but just had too many furnishings and collectibles to just keep in storage. When we gave up this house, we decided to offer it on VBRO to share it with others.
Location, Location, Location......is what we like about Toole Street. Walking into town for dinner was one of our favorite things to do. We certainly take advantage of all the tourist type of activities that draw people to this area........but we absolutely love the conveniences of Wal-Mart, Home Depot and even the hospital being one mile away.
