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!

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).

I just have to say WOW! This might be the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Just starting with communication alone, Jen and Jason made sure everything was great and that we had everything we needed. The location and property was amazing. The house was immaculate. All the linens were clean and fresh (not always the case), and everything was fully stocked. We couldn’t ask for a better location. Convenient to dining, shopping, and scenic tourist spots. Everything was amazing and we only wish that we could’ve stayed longer. Thanks for opening up your homes to us!

Absolutely fell in love with the kitchen and open concept of the lower floor. Everything was laid out so that we could cook and clean but still be a part of activities so no single person got left out. The hot tub/heated pool was so nice after walking the shops in town and with so many parks and national forests nearby we had plenty to do. It stormed while we were here and it was nice to just sit on the front porch and watch the rain. Bedrooms were able to accommodate everyone without people fighting for space as well as plenty of bathroom space. It was a perfect setup for our girls trip. The host was attentive and made sure we had all information we could possibly need before we even got there and responded quickly any time they were messaged.

We loved our time at Jen and Jason’s cabin. Our kids spent hours in the hot tub/pool and exploring in the creek on the property. Our 4 year old cried when we left and said he wanted to live there. The beds were so comfortable, the cabin had everything you could want or need, and we loved that all of the kids could sleep upstairs together. We will definitely be back!

This was a beautiful place. one of the best Airbnb's that I have stayed in. Very peaceful. Just what we needed. I will definitely stay again as well as at their other location which is in one of my favorite vacation places. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Everything was perfect and better than the pictures and description.

Jen’s and Jason’s Airbnb was phenomenal. The place felt very homey and welcoming, and we honestly wish we had stayed longer. The hot tub and pool were amazing. We wish the pool lights had been working, but luckily they had floating lights which still made it really nice. The location is also great—very close to downtown. We loved everything about our stay. We’re already talking about coming back with more friends next time!

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was exactly as described. It was clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. You can tell the host truly cares about creating a great experience for guests. Everything we needed was thoughtfully provided, and the space felt welcoming from the moment we walked in.

Awesome location and a great way to discover the cozy town of Clayton and all the nearby treasures. Loved the massive great room, views into the mountain ridge from the cozy couch, charming church bells and how well appointed every room was. The upstairs sleeping and entertainment loft would be perfect for our grandkids. Looking forward to staying again in a couple months while enjoying the acres of tranquillity, hot tub and 3 minute drive to delicious dining. Thank you so much Jen & Jason!

Wonderful home in Clayton! Perfect for a weekend of hiking, shopping, or just staying in - just on the backside of town, yet secluded enough for a peaceful stay. The house has everything you need to make the stay most comfortable. Would definitely return!
