Even more beautiful than the pictures. Every single detail has been carefully thought of. Decor looked like it was straight out of a magazine. The grounds are right out of a fairytale. Large sofas and beds were extremely comfortable. Felt like an individual oasis. Plenty of space for our family to spread out. So close to downtown Clayton with shops and restaurants, but also private with the extra outdoor deck space and firepits. 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! STYLISH YET DURABLE Situated on 2.5 + gorgeous acres with huge yard and a creek to keep the kids busy while the adults unwind. Parents can relax, with endless outdoor space, durable furnishings, & uncluttered design this space is ULTRA kid & pet friendly. GREAT FOR GROUPS Easy to walk downtown while the rest of the group hangs back at the lodge. Plenty of room to spread out or be close together. WALKABLE Located less than ½ mile from downtown Clayton. Put the kids in a wagon (provided) and head to town! Downtown is adding new places all the time. Newcomers include Rabun Social Sushi and Tapas and Napa Wine Bar. Stroll to town on paved sidewalks after crossing one street across from City Hall and the *Farmer's Market (*when in season). STAY A WHILE You could spend DAYS on this gorgeous property nestled at the base of Black Rock Mountain. Connect with nature, family and friends and enjoy the huge yard, hot tub/pool, creek, expansive decks and still have DAYS to explore the local area.

We had a wonderful stay at this home in Clayton, GA while in town for a wedding with another family. The house had everything we needed—super clean, well-stocked, and very comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped, which made meals easy, and the whole place had such a welcoming, cozy feel. The location was perfect—just a short walk into town, which is absolutely adorable. We happened to be there during a local festival, and it was such a treat to see the community in action. Lots of local pride and charm all around! The outdoor space was a huge bonus. The pool and hot tub were a hit with the kids, and the spacious yard gave them plenty of room to run around and play. It was a quick trip, so we didn’t get to explore as much of the area as we would’ve liked, but there’s clearly a lot to see and do. We’d definitely love to come back and stay longer! Highly recommend this home for anyone visiting the Clayton area—whether for a special event or just a relaxing getaway.

The house was plenty spacious for 7 adults, 1 baby, and 2 dogs. The large sofas were extremely comfortable and fit all of us comfortably and the beds were comfortable too. The property was beautiful and we enjoyed exploring the local area and would love to come back.
