Getting there is half the fun! Nice stay with plenty of amenities packed into the house. Well stocked kitchen. Outdoor firepit was great even in summer.
We had a wonderful sibling reunion at this fabulous home. The views and
Outdoor spaces were GREAT. The home is beautifully furnished and spotless. Loved all

Lovely Mountain Chalet
My friends and I had an awesome stay at Sunset Ridge in Clayton. The home was beautifully appointed and the layout was perfect for our large group. Check in and check out went extremely smoothly and the guidebook Karen provided about the area was very helpful for the days we wanted to venture into town. We came in stressed and left out refreshed! I’m already planning another visit!
Our stay in Clayton, Georgia was absolutely wonderful! The view was simply breathtaking, and the house was so comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a fantastic time visiting a winery, going horseback riding, and hiking. We're already looking forward to returning in the future, and the warm hospitality made our trip even more special!
Our extended family spent Thanksgiving week here and had a wonderful time. We cooked and went out for hikes in the state parks nearby. The house was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The host was an excellent communicator as well as very thoughtful. The WiFi worked well and the view out the back was amazing. Highly recommended!
There is not much you can say about this property and its owner manager. It is just billed. We had our entire family and it was perfect. Even more space than we felt the photos and summary suggested. Karen goes the extra mile with making sure there’s firewood, makings for s’mores, And everything just laid out. The communication was on point to check in and exit. It is probably, no I’ll back off and say, it’s the best property we’ve ever rented through VRBO.
This house was great for our extended family vacation. There are lots of comfortable bedrooms and multiple living areas (inside and out) so everyone can spread out and have their space. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table, games, and big tv in the basement. The location near Clayton is great, but the steep, winding road going up to the house can be tricky (especially at night).
The information provide beforehand about the property and things to do in the area was the most thorough and helpful ever received. The property was super clean and for once we did not have to clean to our standards.
The house was outstanding. We were able to accommodate 10 people over three generations to enjoy rest and relaxation. While it did rain for two days, the spaciousness of the house allowed us time to talk and enjoy each other’s company and not feel crowded.
The host was very attentive and was able to answer questions in a timely manner.
We will definitely rent again when we decide to return to Rabun Gap.
Wheelchair access and plenty of room to stretch out
First, communication with the host was top notch from time of booking through the length of stay.
We needed a place for 10-12 adults, and wheelchair accessibility. The house is beautiful, and definitely met the needs to accommodate us all, without feeling cramped up. Do your due diligence on what you need as far as accessibility, since each need is different. I am used to thinking outside the box, and figuring out alternative ways to make things work. The golf course located right there is an added bonus! All in all, it was a great home to stay in, and give it 5 stars!!
This property and Karen, my contact were far above my expectations! We are a Book Club group of 9 ladies, 70 somethings, and we were bowled over by the perfect cleanliness, super soft sheets, comfortable beds, bounteous towels, and welcoming touches we found when we entered the house. There is not one method to prepare your morning java, but 3, a French press, Keurig, coffee pot, and oh yes, a kettle for us tea lovers! There was a sweet basket full of supplies to make S’Mores over the fire pit and lots of instructions to assist. Karen was great throughout and we hope to perhaps visit again.
The house was absolutely wonderful, even better than the description/photos! There was more than enough space for us! Unfortunately as the trip became closer the weather decided to turn aaaaaallll the way down. There was a snow storm and Atlanta essentially shut down (as it does lol). The property owner hopped on a call with me to run through the “worst case scenarios” if we decided to come regardless, which tbh we’re not that bad because she was SO PREPARED. It would have meant using a generator, snuggling on couches, and playing board games by flashlight. The original plans of going into town were nixed due to the snow and ice, but we went on amazing winter hikes and read books by the fireplace instead. Overall, this was the most amazing escape for us millennial ladies! We will absolutely be booking here for our annual trip from now on!
There is a reason this property consistently receives 10 out of 10 ratings. The home is in a beautiful gated golf course community. The minute you walk in you feel at home. The hosts have thought of everything!! There are plenty of coffee pods provided for the Keurig along with creamers and sugar. There are also plenty of snacks and protein bars provided as well. The home is immaculately cared for and you can just feel and see the cleanliness. The home is well stocked with everything you need for a memorable vacation. All bathrooms have the wall mounted dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash and every bath has an abundant supply of bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths. The kitchen is fully stocked as well with anything you need.
We really enjoyed having two separate living room areas. The adults had a nice one up stairs while the kids loved the downstairs living room equipped with a large television, ping pong table, PAC Man game console and tons of other board games provided. The home is so large that even with a larger group there is so much room to spread out and relax. The outdoor spaces are amazing!! A fire pit and sitting area for cooking S’mores, two nice decks with beautiful views of the mountains and amazing sunsets. A very nice gas grill is provided as well. I cannot say enough about how diligent the cleaning
Staff are that take care of this property.
These hosts are so thoughtful and provide an amazing property!!!!!
Location has absolutely stunning views, listed description matches exactly what is present and large enough to accommodate and make our family completely comfortable for our daughters wedding at 12 Spies Vineyard
We had a great time visiting this property. The check in was a breeze, the property is great for multiple families, and the owner was very helpful. Very close to town and Tallulah Gorge, which is great for hiking. Highly recommend.
From the beginning of reserving this property, Karen was extremely helpful and hospitable. We had 10 people, and everyone just loved the accommodations and all the extras that came with it. I highly recommend if you have a big group this is the place to go - you will NOT be disappointed any time of the year!
This property and the surroundings are as beautiful as the pictures.
The host was so cordial and helpful. The house is truly set up to entertain several generations at one time. Elegant and thoughtful touches throughout. What a pleasure!
We stayed for three nights and wish we could have stayed longer! There are plenty of things close by in terms of hikes, wineries, goats on things. But if all you did was stay inside you couldn’t go wrong. Great communication with the host. Comfy, Cozy, plenty of room
Our son got married at Chattanooga Belle Farms. House was about 15 mins drive. Beautiful home. Plenty of room for large families. Everything easy to find. Kids and adults loved the s’mores and ping pong. Exceptional host. Many amenities nearby. Highly recommend staying here.
