Jimmy and his wife are down to earth good people to have for guest or rent to .The cottage was left in clean order and the trash was gone as well. He gave me a good book to read that he wrote about Ripples we make in life. He is a great writer and has other books as well. I am so glad he stayed in my cottage and will return again sometime.

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.

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.

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.
