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!

Beautiful Cottage

This cottage very close to the main road 441. Clayton is about 5 min driving where you can find grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants. Black Rock Mountain State Park is also closed to enjoy hiking or just a simple walk around the lake. This cottage is well equipped. We loved the views it has from any angle. Beds, bathroom, living room, kitchen and out side porch are all great places! Overall a beautiful place to stay and relax with the quietness and peacefulness that this cottage has to offer! Love the pond and the geese.

Sister Retreat

Barbara’s Cox Cottage was so very comfortable. My sister and I had everything we needed for a cozy retreat. The weather had turned much colder, but Barbara made sure the heat was on. The cottage is only a couple miles from Black Rock State Park and a short drive to Highlands. Thank you Barbara!

Cox lake for Cox family

The little Cox lake was beautiful! The cabin was in a quite, beautiful, peaceful part of Clayton, Ga. We were close to several attractions, several quaint towns. Good restaurants, several wonder farmer’s markets. Very relaxing!

Great clean hideaway

This was our first time staying at this property. It is quiet, clean, secluded yet close to shopping and restaurants in Clayton. Just up the road is Dillard, 30 min away is Helen. Very comfortable with one queen bed in 1 bedroom, a single bed in another bedroom. Only 1 bathroom but with a full size shower/tub. We were able to walk around a small lake nearby although we didn't have access. The apartment had all of the needed appliances (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, etc.). The second day, it rained in the afternoon which was great to sit on the porch in rocking chairs and listen to the rain on the metal roof. Overall, a wonderful private place to rest and a great home base for sight seeing.
