Every single detail has been carefully thought of. Decor straight out of a magazine. Glamorous yet comfortable. The grounds are right out of a fairytale. Large sofas and beds were extremely comfortable. Plenty of space to spread out. So close to downtown Clayton with shops and restaurants, but also private with the extra outdoor deck space and fire pits. Property was so fun for our kids to run around in. They played in the meandering creek and picked daffodils. Wonderful, responsive hosts! House is everything that is pictured to be and so much more! Walkable: Located less than ½ mile from Clayton's downtown. Put the kids in a wagon (provided) and stroll to town on paved sidewalks after crossing one street across from City Hall and the *Farmer's Market (*when in season).

Some of our favorite spots near the property include Black Rock Mountain State Park, Tallulah Gorge, Lake Burton, and endless hiking trails and waterfalls.

This place was just what we needed! It was so quiet, clean, comfortable and close to everything! We had a couple questions pop up and Jen was amazing and prompt with guidance and a positive attitude. I would definitely recommend this place for a romantic getaway or a family gathering. It literally has everything you'd want or need. Thanks for making our trip such a success, Jen!

Always a great time at Meadowstream! Jen and Jason are truly wonderful hosts, checking in frequently to make sure there was nothing we needed to improve our stay. The place is always spotless with every amenity and a fantastic location - very close to town with beautiful mountain views. Highly recommended!

We had an amazing stay. it was right around the corner from downtown, but far enough away to have peace and quiet. The spa was amazing. The house was very well taken care of and prepared. Everything we needed was availble. They also made recommendations and were super responsive.

Exceptional stay from start to finish. Jen and Jason were fantastic hosts—friendly, responsive, and helpful from the moment we booked all the way through departure. The home truly has everything you could need. Traveling with kids and dogs can be a challenge, but they’ve thought of it all. It’s one of those places where you notice the little things—well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, thoughtful touches throughout—that make the stay effortless and enjoyable. The property itself is beautiful, and the setting is just as impressive. Everything feels very intentional—cozy and romantic, while still being perfect for a fun family getaway. We came to Clayton for a long weekend to unplug and spend quality time together, and this place delivered beyond expectations. We left feeling refreshed and already talking about coming back. 10/10—highly recommend.

We had an awesome stay here. The cabin had that perfect cozy, romantic feel we were hoping for. It was exactly what we needed to relax and unplug. The cabin was also amazingly decorated and really added to the whole experience. The beds were super comfortable, which honestly made a big difference after long days out (which weren’t many because we definitely took advantage of the downtime and binge-watched some shows we can’t watch with the kids around). The host was amazing. They were very quick to respond and easy to communicate with, which made everything smooth from start to finish. The swim spa was a really cool feature. There’s a bit of a learning curve at first, but the host was super helpful. Once we got the hang of it, the hot tub side ended up being our favorite. One of our favorite parts was being able to walk into town. It was such a nice touch not having to drive everywhere. We’re already talking about coming back, and next time bringing the whole family.

Jen & Jason's place was just perfect. We were able to have our daughters first baby shower their with all our family and the place and yard couldn't have been any better. Everything was so thought out on the property and the home. Everything made you felt right a home. Thank you Jen and Jason

This is a lovely home to stay in. It is just off the main road, but seems very private and secluded. The setting is wonderful and peaceful. The hosts provide all you need and more for your stay, and everything is high quality and nice! We really enjoyed our stay!

We really enjoyed our stay in Clayton. The property was wonderful, expansive, and so peaceful. We enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, the hot tub pool, the creek on the property, the back deck. We had a really nice and relaxing time. The town is within walking distance with lots of restaurant options and cute little shops for browsing. Lots of great hiking trails with scenic views and waterfalls. One of our favorite places we have stayed.
