About this property

Cozy cabin with a view 1 mile from downtown Clayton

This cute, comfy cabin is secluded enough that you'll feel like you're away from it all, but super close to restaurants, shopping, hiking, and more (War Women Dell, Black Rock Mountain, Talullah Gorge, Lake Burton, and Lake Rabun are all a 30-minute drive or less).

There are 2 bedrooms (king and queen beds) each with its own bath, a deck with ample seating, a fully stocked kitchen, plus a fireplace, grill, and a garage/rec room with a pool table, cornhole, darts, and couches. We've got plenty of games and books, too.

Kick back and relax on the deck or head to town to enjoy great shopping and eating.

Comfortable Cabin

The location was perfect for touring a variety of hiking areas we were interested in. The cabin was very comfortable and cozy with one of our favorite features being the fireplace. The view of the mountains and feeling secluded when you truly are close to so many amenities, was great too. Last but not least, the bed in the master was comfortable, another perk when you’re on vacation.

A perfect place to weather the storm

This home had it all, and we were grateful as our stay was extremely rainy. The indoor fireplace and the warmth of the house, in general, was quite comforting.Stocked with everything you could want while indoors, it was a short trip to Tallulah Falls as well.Our stay was perfect and a would definitely recommend it to others.

Wonderful! A little paradise in the mountains

Beautiful property, better than in pictures. Well appointed with everything you need. You can tell a lot of thought and care was put into furnishings, decorations, bathroom and kitchen necessities.Very roomy and cozy. My daughter and her friends loved the pool, board games and cute decorations that made you feel right at home.The last 1/2 mile to the property is quite steep and the entrance to the property sneaks up on you. You get used to it later on, just be alert and learn the surroundings.We had a wonderful time and would highly consider renting again in the warmer months to better enjoy the outdoor amenities.

Beautiful view

Loved the view, especially the cross on the mountain but outside was not clean at all so could not sit out on the porch and grill was totally unusable. Inside was neat and had what we needed for our stay.

Green Mountain Cabin

This cabin is in a great location & close to town. Beautiful view of the mountains from the porch. The kitchen is very well stocked. The beds are super comfortable. Very relaxing atmosphere & well appointed comfortable furniture. The restaurant in Clayton “Fortify” did not disappoint. Get reservations!

Nice Retreat

This is a nice cabin which is very convenient to Clayton, with a well-furnished kitchen. The covered porch has a fine view of Blackrock Mountain and was probably our favorite part of the cabin where we ate almost all of our meals. The owner communicated well and was easy to work with. We would certainly consider staying there again.

Perfect stay!

Do not look any further, this cabin is the perfect place to explore lovely Clayton and the beautiful (green) surroundings. After hiking, shopping around and visiting the best places for a coffee, it was so nice to come back to the cabin, relax on the deck and enjoy the views! The cabin provides everything you can think of and Jenn is a perfect host. Love to come back!

Best stocked cabin ever!!!

This cabin is amazing. Good view of the mountains. One of my favorite things was the binder of things to do nearby and places to eat. We loved sitting on the deck especially the couch! Darts and pool were a favorite of ours too as we are competitive and love playing games. The internet was out when we got there but this was resolved quickly and it stayed on the rest of our time.

Great Property/Great Location

The property is conveniently located a very short distance from downtown Clayton. There are plenty of dining choices to choose from, representing multi-cultural cuisines. If you prefer to prepare your own meals, the kitchen has a large array of cookware and utensils to accomplish the task. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch, listening to the birds and the scenic mountain view.

Perfection

Everything we needed! Absolutely loved everything about this cabin! The cozy couch on the porch was my favorite! The game room in the basement was a fun bonus. Perfect distance from town to feel like you’re in the mountains, but just a hop, skip, and a jump from town!

About the host

Hosted by Jen Coltrin

Host profile image
Robb and Jen have been married for 10 years and have 3 kids ages 17 to 21. Robb is a VP of Sales in the data and construction world; Jen is a freelance writer/editor. We live full time in Atlanta but have dreamed about owning a mountain getaway for years. COVID and the unavoidable certainty of soon being empty nesters spurred our search until we found the perfect cabin in Clayton.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property when we saw it. It was cozy, comfy, and just the perfect size. We love the stone fireplace, the pitched wood ceiling, and the beautiful sunsets from the deck. We love that we’re so close to town and all its amenities (hello Ingles and coffee shops!) while still feeling like we’re away from it all. We like how many great hiking trails and activities that we can get to within a 30-minute drive, but we also love just being able to sit on the deck, enjoy the view, and watch the hummingbirds.

What makes this property unique

We’ve got two kayaks and a standup paddle board that guests are welcome to use on nearby Tallulah Lake or Lake Rabun. We’ve also got a pool table, corn hole, games, and darts for your amusement. And did we mention the great deck and sunsets?
