We have stayed at this property before. Love that is close to downtown Clayton, even though you feel like you are secluded in the woods. The kitchen is well equipped, even though we never cook! The only issue we had this time, was that the wi-fi went offline several times. We would definitely stay there again.

Cozy Clayton Cottage

This was our second stay at this property. The house is so conveniently located to downtown, so privately surrounded by trees & bushes, & the decor is lovely. Enjoyed our stay & will return every time we visit Clayton!

Great place to stay

We had a great time at the Rabun Retreat. Everything was as described in the listing. The property was very clean and fully equipped with lots of towels and kitchen utensils. The house was very nicely appointed. The best thing is the price. you won't find another property this nice for this price.

Nice little house. Perfect for a couple or those with 2 children. Very clean. First night a herd of deer walked through the back yard. We thought it was one of the best places we've stayed. Even though it's surrounded by trees and feels like being in the forest, it's only 5 minutes from downtown and all the shops and restaurants. One caveat, a lot of restaurants and shops are closed on Tuesdays so plan ahead.

Fantastic bungalow in a great location!

We loved the house…the decor, the front porch, the privacy, and the location. Internet was great, and we loved walking to town. We’d go back! Plus Clayton was a fantastic small town with amazing food everywhere we went. Great all around experience!

The home had everything you could need. The property manager was very responsive. 11am check-out was nice surprise. Beds very comfortable. Firepit and grill were great. Just a great little town nearby, while still feeling like you're in a very remote area.

Close to downtown and easy drive to Lake Burton.

We stayed here so as not to overcrowd our family home at Lake Burton. Location is great, cabin as advertised. Wi-Fi signal was strong enough for online meetings and conferences. Easy to jog and get around.

This is our 4th stay at this rental and as always, it is just what we need. Close to everything but peaceful and quiet. It also has everything you need to prep for meals, make coffee and sit out under the trees and listen to nature. It is clean and perfect for our weekend stays.

Private and quaint Oasis

I had the pleasure of staying here for a few months while my home was being renovated right down the street. It was perfection!! It’s an adorable cottage that is nestled in the woods with visits from deer that of course bring peace. It was great to open the door and bring the fresh air in from the screened porch. Even the rock driveway running through the trees had the most beautiful soft green moss . It’s was fabulous!! The host is exceptional and very kind.
