We have stayed at this property before. Love that is close to downtown Clayton, even though you feel like you are secluded in the woods. The kitchen is well equipped, even though we never cook! The only issue we had this time, was that the wi-fi went offline several times. We would definitely stay there again.

Cozy Clayton Cottage

This was our second stay at this property. The house is so conveniently located to downtown, so privately surrounded by trees & bushes, & the decor is lovely. Enjoyed our stay & will return every time we visit Clayton!

An adorable cottage that is private. Deer visits are so special and it’s in walking distance to the quaint downtown. I couldn’t have been more relaxed in this charming cottage. The owners are great and respect your privacy .

Nice little house. Perfect for a couple or those with 2 children. Very clean. First night a herd of deer walked through the back yard. We thought it was one of the best places we've stayed. Even though it's surrounded by trees and feels like being in the forest, it's only 5 minutes from downtown and all the shops and restaurants. One caveat, a lot of restaurants and shops are closed on Tuesdays so plan ahead.

Private and quaint Oasis

I had the pleasure of staying here for a few months while my home was being renovated right down the street. It was perfection!! It’s an adorable cottage that is nestled in the woods with visits from deer that of course bring peace. It was great to open the door and bring the fresh air in from the screened porch. Even the rock driveway running through the trees had the most beautiful soft green moss . It’s was fabulous!! The host is exceptional and very kind.

Retreat in the city

What a great spot! The house is in a somewhat community setting, but set off the road in the woods, so feels very secluded. We were easily within walking distance to mainstreet. A great way to have a quiet place to relax and sleep with access to the city of Clayton, and all the near by parks and national forest areas. The space itself was comfortable for 2 people and 2 smaller pups. I look forward to coming back again!

This is our 4th stay at this rental and as always, it is just what we need. Close to everything but peaceful and quiet. It also has everything you need to prep for meals, make coffee and sit out under the trees and listen to nature. It is clean and perfect for our weekend stays. Will rent again for our next trip to Clayton.

Great place with a great location!

Stayed in Clayton for the week and this was the perfect private getaway. Everything was clean and king bed was very comfortable. Heather responded to any questions quickly. Was so close to town with lots of great restaurants and shopping. Front porch was so relaxing. Lots to do nearby with a short drive. . Will definitely be back.

Wonderful stay in Clayton

Heather was very easy to communicate with. House is very cute, she thought of all the little extras. A record player, books, magazines, dvd’s were all provided for us to use. Our trip was too short to enjoy all of these. Location feels private but a quick walk to downtown (if you are so inclined). Would definitely stay again if property is available.

Thanksgiving Family Getaway

This home was great for our family of 4. We were very close to Clayton and other areas. We went to visit my mother who lives in Mountain City. My siblings all brought their families to visit as well, so we needed somewhere close, to not have to drive too far to visit, but that was also accommodating for a family with small kids(age 1 and 6). It had everything we needed. If for any reason you need to buy any groceries or need to shop for anything there are options near by. The owner answers any questions you have very fast and is very helpful. Its a nice home away from home. If we ever need a place to stay when visiting Georgia, this is a place I would definitely stay again.

Lovely!

We enjoyed our stay here immensely! The house was just as described but even better in real life! Everything was clean, beautiful, and cozy. We got rained out of a hike and there were plenty of little accomodations to keep us busy - ring toss on the screened in patio, fire pit out back, board and card games, the record player was a real treat! Anything we could have ever needed was provided. The master bed was very comfortable. The house is just far off the road to feel like you're really in the middle of solidarity but also a hop skip away from the Downtown area which I highly recommend visiting. We hope to stay here again one day. Thank you Heather!

About the host

Hosted by Heather

Host profile image
We live in Atlanta and love to travel.

Why they chose this property

Our home in North Georgia is where we go to relax and enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and slower pace of life. It took us many years to find just the right home in this area. Rabun Retreat is perfect to us for its simple floorplan, private location and close proximity to everything.

What makes this property unique

We love that when staying at the cottage, it feels like we are a million miles away from it all. But, we can just as easily take a quick 10 minute walk into town for coffee, dinner or cocktails. It is truly the best of both worlds and our favorite place to relax.
