Annual Cousin's Trip

The cottage was comfortable and in a great location. We were close to Clayton and in an easy distance to several great wineries. Very thorough directions made locating the cottage easy. The only drawback for us was the small bar in the kitchen which served for an eating area. It was too small for assembling jigsaw puzzles, so we had to purchase some foam board to create a larger surface. There was a good assortment of puzzles--but a card table to use in putting them together would have been helpful. The bar was well lighted, so the area worked well after covering it with two pieces of foam board.

Perfect Fall Getaway

The cottage is immaculate and quite comfortable. It's close to a lot of good things - places to eat, Foxfire Museum, and Tallulah Gorge. We drove to Helen and enjoyed the leaves on the way, and visited Hardman Farms while there. Andrew was very helpful.

Great Stay

This stay initially was to be a girls get away with a high school friend but Hurricane Helene got in the way and my friend lived too far to chance not getting gas to get home. We stayed here last year and really enjoyed the cottage. So my husband and I live only an hour's drive away and decided to go and stay as the cottage had power and we didn't. Clayton is a neat little town as well. It was a nice visit.

Clayton Cottage

A very nice, comfortable home, nicely appointed and a convenient location. Unfortunately, we were there during Hurricane Helene, lost power for 6-8 hours and never regained phone and internet service. Not at all owner's fault, and considering the devastation Helene caused nearby areas, we were blessed

Wonderful place to stay , very well.stocked . We enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching cows. Once we found it loved the location to town and other areas near by. Even though we live only 30inutes north it felt like we were farther away. We loved jist siting on the reclining sofas and just chilling . We loved our stay and hop3 to return on the future .

Perfect little get-away home

The home in Clayton is wonderful! Perfect for 4 adults (or family of 4). House was clean, well-stocked (one of the best stocked homes I have ever stayed in), easy access to and from towns (and lake). The beds were great, in fact my son's girlfriend said her bed was one of the most comfortable beds she has ever slept in! Wouldn't hesitate to stay in the home again. The host was very responsive and so helpful. Wonderful home!

We loved our stay just outside of Clayton. The house, the style, the view, the location, and amenities were all on target or better than expected. Whole family loved it and would stay again!

Well stocked and comfy cottage close to town

Clayton Cottage had plenty of room for our family of 5. We never felt crowded or on top of each other. The cottage is well stocked with everything you could need. I feel like it was better than described! When we stayed, the weather was pretty cold (20’s at night, 40’s during the day) and we were not cold inside- the central heat worked well and there were also wall heaters in the bedrooms and plenty of blankets. The beds were super soft, almost too soft for us, but that’s personal preference so don’t let that deter you. The cottage was easy to find, even arriving in the dark (just note the GPS will likely tell you to turn just before the cottage) and there is a paved circular driveway. The cottage is close to town (but not walking distance) and there is a grocery store and multiple restaurants and/or fast food close by. The cabin also has plenty of pots/pans/dishes if you want to cook. We did a combination of cooking and eating out- Universal Joint and Fortfy Pi were awesome. We took side trips to Black Rock Mountain State Park, Tallulah Gorge State Park, Helen, and Scaly Mountain, NC for snow tubing. The cottage was a great home base for all of these adventures. It is on a road where the speed limit is 55- there is not much traffic, but definitely something to be mindful of if you have small children and want to be able to let them play outside. And also when you’re making a left out of the driveway sometimes people were coming up really fast. Overall we really enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Andrew Mueller

This is our family vacation home to the mountains. After looking for 3+ years, we settled on Clayton, because we love it there. Great place for kids, family, and adventures. A great vibrant downtown, and all the creature comforts: Wal Mart, Ingles, Starbucks, etc. But you can go Downtown and throughout area for one of a kind eats, drinks, and shopping. We fell in love with this house for its proximity and ease to get to. And its completly redone inside and out.

Why they chose this property

Close to Downtown Clayton without being IN downtown. Just off the main road - so you wont get lost! All remodeled. Easy drive to downtown, other locales, the lakes, it's away from all, but not out in the boonies!

What makes this property unique

Fully stocked kitchen. All new appliances. All new floor, bedding, furniture and more. This is a true getaway but not miss out on feeling like this is a home you WANT to stay at. Classy, Comfy, Modern! WE love our house and hope you enjoy it too. Free Wifi, Great location, awesome views from patios.
