PLEASE READ OUR ENTIRE LISTING DESCRIPTION SO YOU UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE RENTING...THANK YOU.

GENERAL INFORMATION;
***We do NOT charge any host fees other than a low cleaning fee so there are no surprises when you go to pay for your booking! And yeah we know when traveling with VRBO/HomeAway as guests how annoying it can be with a teaser rate that doubles at check out. The only fees you will see is the VRBO/HomeAway booking fee they charge to each guest which they keep and local taxes as required by law. We also offer an additional 5% off the weekly rate and 14% off the monthly rate.

***We have negotiated a special 25% discount for all people in your group with Nacoochee Adventures and ziplining for our guests. You will be given a special code when you book with us. We also have an incredible and extensive Trip Planner Document that provides each guest awesome tips on everything from; where to eat and drink to wineries and waterfalls and everything in between. Most guests find that document to be invaluable for a great trip.

***We take all of our own photographs while on staying at our place. Each photograph has a very detailed caption so you know exactly what you are looking at and where it is located in the house or around town.

***This is a two unit cabin and you are renting the UPPER UNIT. You have your own private driveway for two vehicles. You have your own entry door and your own deck space. You have a grill and hot tub which is only for your use and private. Nothing is a shared space in your unit. You have the entire upper level of the home - think of a two unit condo but in a cabin country wooded setting. The upper unit sleeps 4 people and so does the lower unit so if you wish to book both the upper and lower units to fit 8 people just let us know and we can assist.

***We have two other rentals in Clayton and three more in Helen so if this property is booked for your dates, we may have other options for you - just ask.

***Please note we do not accept any pets, emotional, support or therapy animals due to extreme allergies/health related issues in our family.

WHO WE ARE AS HOSTS;
We have been VRBO/HomeAway Premier Hosts since 2016 and have many thousands of review online for our 20+ properties in multiple locations and countries. Our average review rating is 4.95 stars average out of 5.0 stars. We always respond to any guests concerns immediately and have a well seasoned staff in every location. For example this cabin, the local caretaker lives a half mile away so if you need anything he is right there. We also understand some people are hesitant to rent a property without at least 25 reviews. This house was a very successful 5 star rated rental under the previous owners. Unfortunately existing reviews during a sale are not transferable to the new owner (us) so we had to start from scratch. This house called "Cute and Chic in Clayton" was just purchased by us and listed in November 2022.

LOCATION;
"Cute and Chic in Clayton" is located less than half a mile to downtown Clayton so you can pretty easily walk into town. Part of the walk is on the grass shoulder of the road and then converts to a sidewalk the rest of the way. Driving into town is one minute and there is lots of free street parking. Clayton has activities for everyone such as; many restaurants and bars, ice cream parlors, coffee shops, antique shopping, art galleries, river tubing, golfing, hiking, parks, wineries and tons of waterfalls. There is something for everyone. While Clayton has a ton to do locally, we are also convenient to many other North Georgia attractions. We are about 15 minutes to Lake Burton (Anchorage Marine side) where you can rent pontoons boats, 60 minutes to Ski Sapphire Valley, 15 minutes to Tallulah Gorge State Park and about 35 minutes to Helen. Our property is in a very safe and quiet residential neighborhood providing the perfect mix of being just outside of downtown Clayton so you are close to all the action, but also not directly in the downtown area so you can enjoy the wooded private feel, fall foliage and nature. You can see deer, foxes, hedgehogs, the ocassional black bear and lots of birds at our place. Overall our property is in a great location to explore everything in the north Georgia mountains.

HOUSE OVERVIEW;
The roughly 2150 square foot air conditioned and heated home has an upper level and a lower level. As stated previously, you are renting the UPPER UNIT which is about 1300 square feet. It was totally renovated and redesigned and has a chic, comfortable, stylish yet country feel to it. All appliances are full size complete with a gas stove oven combo unit. Like all of our rentals we make sure the kitchen is very well stocked for all your cooking needs. There is new vinyl wood flooring throughout, shiplap wooden walls, beautiful pine tongue n groove ceilings, fresh paint and decor. The kitchen is open to the living room and the dining room is just off the kitchen. The dining room has a faux fireplace, dining table with 4 chairs and a counter pass through to the kitchen that can sit 2 more people on stools. The cute full bath is off the living room and has a shower / tub combination. There are two bedrooms, both with queen beds, side tables, lamps, dressers and closets for excellent storage. There is also a large laundry room on site inside the home with a full size washer and dryer. There are lots of windows to let the natural light inside. We have excellent Wi-Fi which of course is FREE to access along with a nice 40" Smart TV equipped with over 300 channels and of course Netflix, Prime, Roku, etc. The property is wooded around our home with neighboring houses along our street. Overall the house is very comfy and appealing for a nice stay in a great location. We have lots of photos with very detailed listing descriptions to help you learn more about our house and the surrounding areas.

WHO WE RENT TO;
Please note as well we are a quiet rental in a family neighborghood and not a party house. So if you are looking for that type of rowdy atmosphere with loud music and really heavy partying we are not the place for you. We welcome all couples, friends and families looking for a relaxing time.

Thank you so much for considering us for your stay in Clayton!!!

Wonderful Getaway

This was a long weekend getaway for two for my girlfriend and me. The town of Clayton is not that far from our upstate SC home, so we have sort of overlooked it as a vacation spot. We’re so glad we didn’t this time! What a great place close to Tallulah Gorge Park which couldn’t have been more beautiful. The location of this home is easily walkable to the quaint and fun downtown. And it was immaculately clean upon arrival. The owners made checkin and checkout very easy.

Short stay

My daughter and I went for just a short visit. It ws very accurately described and a very comfortable stay. There were some crumbs on the stove and in the living room area. Nothing too terrible and didn't affect the enjoyment of our visit.

Perfect for our needs

It was just my husband and I that stayed in the upper unit. We actually didn’t need all the space, but it was just what we needed. Not a lot of countertop space in kitchen or bathroom, but like I said, it worked for us! We enjoyed the hot tub as well!

Super Charming Cabin feel on a Split Upper/Lower Rental

Everything was well appointed and perfect for 2 people!! It was 28 degrees at night and we didn’t even need to turn on the heat because there was a wonderful gas fireplace - turned it on for a couple hours and it heated the whole house and it stayed warm throughout the night. There were guests in the lower rental and we were in the upper and we still felt like it was very private. The hot tub was already turned on and ready to use upon arrival. The only suggestion I’d have for the hosts is to leave a couple extra towels for guest hot tub use so they do not have to use the bathroom shower towels. The unit is equipped with a full size washer and dryer, so we just washed and dried our towels with no issue. Thank you for this great rental, it was wonderful and I would love to come and stay the next time we have an opportunity to visit Clayton.
