About this property

Rue with a View – Picturesque Mountain Views

2 Bedrooms and loft: King, King, Queen, Full Sleeper sofa and 2 Baths – 2 wrap around decks – Mountain Views.
With views for miles, those looking for a view, peace and quiet will not be disappointed. The cabin sits just 3 miles from downtown Clayton, on Screamer Mountain facing South Carolina. With upper and lower wrap around decks, there is plenty of places to sit and enjoy the views. The lower deck is covered, with ceiling fans for enjoying the views. There is a large, flat parking area with easy access to the cabin.
Inside, there are two bedrooms and a loft area for sleeping or taking an afternoon nap. There are two full bathrooms and an open kitchen with ample counter space for those who want to cook their own meals. An open family room allows for relaxing in front of the tv or playing games at the dining room table. Downstairs the game room supplies fun for all with a full-sized Arcade Console and flat screen tv. There is a full-sized sofa sleeper in the game room as well.
The master bedroom is downstairs off the game room and allows direct access to the lower covered wrap around deck. The master bathroom includes a jetted tub for relaxing after a day of hiking some of the nearby waterfalls. The laundry room is downstairs and includes a washing machine, dryer and wash basin.
Cell phones will either be spotty or not work at this location, however, Internet is provided so you can use the VoIP service offered on most phones (Voice Over Internet Protocol).
We supply 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom 2 two rolls of paper towels in kitchen, along with hotel size soaps, laundry detergent and shampoo. Hopefully this will be enough basics to give you time to go shopping once you have settled in.

Mountain Views & close to town

Check in process was smooth owners accommodated us to check in earlier which was amazing since we drove from south Florida overnight. The drive up was not bad at all- follow the instructions provided and you’ll be fine. We’ve stayed in the area before with much more steep and limited space. The cabin is perfect. Cozy and comfortable. Plenty kitchen gadgets and coffee mugs. I’d definitely return here in the future.

Best View Ever

We stay at Rue with a Vue because that’s what it is. The cabin is easy to reach, paved roads. It is so comfortable and homey. Absolutely the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. It’s well maintained and the owner is very accommodating and helpful if you have questions. Thank you, Derek

Great stay with amazing views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rue with a View and the pictures did not do our view there justice. We loved every morning and evening sitting outside and enjoying our time in such a beautiful landscape. Everything was clean and comfortable and the hosts were amazing and quickly responded to any questions I had. Definitely 5 of 5 stars!

Amazing View

We had a beautiful Christmas while visiting the Rue Cabin, the view is priceless , the accommodations were perfect the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for all our cooking needes. We had much fun playing the arcade games, sitting on the back patio sipping our mornings coffee or just relaxing by the warm fire. The town of Clayton is lovely with many great shops, grocery stores were close by. I definitely would stay again and recommend to others.

Purely Peaceful

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The view is amazing. It is so quiet and peaceful. The place was clean and comfy. When we weren’t in town we spent most of our time one of the decks sipping coffee or wine. The Gallaga was an added bonus. My husband and I had so much fun playing pac man and it got very competitive. We really loved the place and will definitely be renting it again.

The house was wonderful. Great views and the space was super clean and spacious. Old school game machine was nice bonus. Driveway was a little tricky but i figured it out...I would recommend arriving in the day light. Other than that, this house really delivers and I look forward to coming back.

Amazing View!

Beautiful property with a remarkable view across the mountains. We were very comfortable and found all the amenities we needed to stay here for 2 nights. Disappointed that the hot tub seemed to NOT be tied to hot water heater (at least both nights when we tried to fill it). Prop Mgr did not answer the phone both times we called but followed up with email that night. We had trouble accessing the property upon arrival as door keypad was not visible (not lit) to us as we tried to enter code into a separate keypad near the ft door. We also had trouble accessing the internet before the prop mgr provided additional instructions that evening. Road up to house is dangerous single lane so drive very slow around the blind curves!

Beautiful views, but be careful with pets/small children

I can't say much about the property because our visit ended as soon as it began. As soon as we got to the house, my husband walked the dog down the road to get her to go potty before entering (there is really no where for pets to go around entrance). Upon walking back up, the dog broke free from her collar like something spooked her. She ended up running towards the house and over the retaining wall (the wall is barely elevated). After sliding down the mountain to get the dog and rushing her to a vet in town, we found that she had broken several toes and her wrist was messed up. The Clayton vet stated she would most likely need pins and plates, but there was no specialist in the area. She would have to call around to find someone the next day because they were past closing at this point. Due to the upcoming inclement weather and the fact that the nearest specialist was several hours away, we made the decision to drive the 9 hours back home for our vet to lead the dog's recovery. Please be careful if you have children or pets, because I would hate for someone else to have the same situation happen to them. This whole experience ruined our Christmas holiday. I can't say much about the house since we never stayed even one night, but the views did look nice when we drove up. This would have been our 8th year staying in the mountains, and was the first time we ever felt that a home was not suitable for pets or small children. It would be good for couples and teenage children though. As for our dog, the break is too close to the wrist for surgery. She will be in a splint for 8 weeks and at the 6 week point they will be assessing if her wrist will need surgery based on how it is healing and the mobility. The owner did reach out once to see if our dog needed surgery, but that was it. The reason for the mark down in cleanliness, was that we saw dead bugs along the sliders and windows inside the living room. They should have been cleaned up if it was swept or vacuumed before arriving. That is the only thing we saw, but we were barely there due to the accident.

Exceptional Views, Easy Access, and Close to Town

We would definitely return to this cabin and recommend to friends! We love how it's secluded on top of the mountain with spectacular views (sunrise AND sunsets) yet literally 4 minutes to the grocery store and downtown Clayton / restaurants. Easy access (Google maps GPS works well here) with paved roads leading to cabin. Owner is very responsive and hospitable; supplying lots of free amenities than many rentals do not, such as free coffee pods, tea, and access to supplies if you need more TP, etc. Main bedroom bed was firm and comfortable with nice quality bedding. We enjoyed the fireplace, and the large whirlpool tub was clean and nice to have after a long day of hiking. Speaking of hiking, this cabin is central to 20++ incredible hikes within a 20-30 minute drive, with Black Rock State Park only a few minutes away. (Download the Hiking Project App for driving instructions to trailheads and trail descriptions, etc). Kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and there is a grill on the deck too. Highly recommended!

Rue has the BEST View

We always rent for the view, we were not disappointed! In addition, the cabin was extremely clean, and to our surprise, was well stocked with household conveniences that are not provided in other rentals. The owners were available to answer any questions. Oh, and the beds were very comfortable.

Spectacular view

This is a beautiful cabin with spectacular view. EVERYTHING was as we expected. The cabin was very clean and well organized with a well equipped kitchen. Beds are comfortable and there is a nice gaming room. The only thing I would like to mention is the steps, this is a three story cabin and the steps are steep so this might not be an ideal cabin for older people or families with young kids. We will be back as soon as we can we enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Derek Blagg

Host profile image
We are two friends who decided we wanted property in North Georgia. I am originally from Colorado, and my business partner is a native of Atlanta. We both fell in love with the mountains and mountain life early on. He has been coming up and hiking these woods for years and I spent my youth in the mountains of Colorado. We finally decided we needed a place we could come to as we pleased. Rabun County is 70% National Forrest. The amount of hiking is almost unlimited. Making for a great place to get away.

Why they chose this property

The view is the first, but not the only reason. The cabin itself is exactly what we wanted. The large open space with windows for the view, as well as the Master with its own private covered deck with great views. Secluded in the mountains, yet just a short trip to the town of Clayton. We fell in love immediately with all of it. We spent the first 6 months renovating to repair, upgrade and make it more comfortable.

What makes this property unique

The view is definitely what makes this unique.
