More About Us
Owned by a retired State Judge who lives in the main house & is usually nearby to assist/ but only when approached to do so. Owner and wife value our guest's privacy.
Clayton Georgia is a mountain town in far NE GA at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, about 8 miles from NC & 8 miles from SC. Hollywood likes to come and create movies here, including Disney and Ron Howard, because of the county's unique beauty. We have three large lakes and a National Forest filled with waterfalls and trails... only 10 miles from the Appalachian trial. Its a hiker's paradise!

Lovely cottage, great location, and a very kind host

This cottage is in the perfect location within walking distance to everything you could want to visit in downtown Clayton. It was clean and simple, just what we needed for a weekend of hiking. The host, Charles, is a kind man who came out to greet us and chatted with us briefly. Wonderful stay, we hope to return!

Nice little cottage

The cottage was very clean and neat. The host was very nice and helpful. He swung by one afternoon to check in to see if we needed anything but other than that gave us our privacy. We would definitely come back if we’re ever in the area

Everything you’ll need

Our host, Charles, was extremely kind & accommodating, and has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Clayton with books/brochures of best places to visit in town. The cottage was quiet, quaint & very clean with its own garage. It’s also strategically located within walking distance to the heart of Clayton. Thanks for everything!

Google maps doesn't take you directly to the address. The house is at the end of the single lane street and the address is near their front door. A little hard to see in the dark.

Charles was an exceptional host. The cottage was perfect for my stay. It was very clean and very cozy. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was nice. The location is outstanding. It is literally 2 blocks from maine st. It takes 4 minutes to walk to the restaurants. I rode my motorcycle to Clayton, and it was fantastic to have the garage to park my bike in. I come to Clayton regularly and will definitely use the cottage again. Thanks Charles.
