About this house rental
This beautifully landscaped cottage has been completely restored, yet its original charm of the 1950's was maintained. The furnishings have the feel of an upscale B&B, decorated with antiques, collectible and local artist finds.
It is less than a half mile from charming downtown Clayton, known for its quaint boutiques, upscale antique shops, as well as numerous Farm-to-table restaurants (voted #1 in Georgia). Many of North Georgia Mountain towns are cluttered tourist traps; however, Rabun County’s scenery is well preserved; 80% of the county is National Forrest! The outdoorsman will never run out of things to do - hiking, rafting, fishing, and visiting waterfalls can pack a weekend full. The Garden Cottage is easily accessible and centrally located in Rabun County. Make sure you don’t forget to visit, Tallulah Gorge, the Dillard House, and one of the many wineries.
If you must work while visiting, we have good internet and a designated work area.
THE GARDEN COTTAGE, as described in the words of our guest:
We entered through an inviting screened in porch that we debated immediately about sitting on to take in all the fascinating décor, but we really wanted to get inside and discover what this cottage was all about. Inside an equally delightful and uniquely decorated world awaited. The cottage was everything we needed for a weekend to rest. The owners have done a fantastic job at keeping the cottage Time Era specific. In a way, we felt like we were back at grandma’s house, which was a breath of fresh air. From the holiday décor at Christmas to the handmade quilts, the little decorative touches made this one of the most special homes we have ever had the pleasure of staying.
The attention to detail in this dollhouse of a cottage begs you to discover a surprise in every corner! From cozy morning coffee on the porch, to a restful bubble bath in one of two claw foot tubs, this storybook cottage will enchant and delight. We loved that it had 2 separate bedrooms, with their own bathrooms. I totally fell in love with the stunning master bath (complete with heated floors), and the bed is so soft and comfy, we basically had to force ourselves to get up.
The kitchen is perfectly adorable and fully stocked. Everything in this charming place was clean and appealing with all the fixings of home. We enjoyed the kitchen so much; we didn’t go out to eat, even once. For those that need to do some work while vacationing, the internet is good and there is a designated workspace assigned.
The loving care not only shows inside: we were mesmerized with the beautiful landscape, the outside décor a special touch and surprise at every turn. The garden surrounding the cottage is stunning!

We had the pleasure of staying at this charming cottage, and it was an absolute delight! The cottage itself was cozy and intimate, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. But what truly made my stay exceptional was the outstanding hospitality of the host.
From the moment we booked the cottage, Ronnie was incredibly helpful and communicative. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had everything we needed, from recommendations for local attractions to fresh towels and linens.
During our stay, Ronnie was always available to answer any questions we had, and his responses were always prompt and helpful. His attention to detail and dedication to his guests' comfort is truly impressive.
The cottage was immaculately clean. The location was also perfect, with plenty of nearby attractions and activities to enjoy.
Overall, I would highly recommend this quaint cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway. And a huge thank you to Ronnie for being such an exceptional host! 5/5 stars!

Wonderful cottage close to charming downtown. Central to some of the best hikes and scenery I’ve seen in the mountains of TN, NC, and Ga. Perfect for a couple or 2. Great location and Value from my experiences. 5 stars for cottage and surroundings for hiking and outdoor enthusiasts. I’m not a shopper or antique enthusiast but one would not be disappointed!

This beautiful cottage was enchanting and relaxing. We had everything we needed for a wonderful rest. Bed was comfortable and bathrooms were clean with great water pressure. Front porch was a wonderful hangout for coffee and reading. Would stay here again if Clayton is a destination again. Close to Main Street and good restaurants.

Thank you to our hosts for their southern hospitality. Our stay at this charming cottage was wonderful.
An absolutely adorable cottage, perfect for the 2 of us. Nestled in the foothills of the smokies but just outside of town. Clayton had everything we needed for our visit and the location was so central to an abudance of scenic adventures. Beautiful waterfalls, magnificent views of the mountains and rivers. We enjoyed many great day trips.

My husband and I spent a couple of days here. The place is VERY clean. It was a little noisy due to the traffic but it died down later in the evening. . Didn’t realize it was so close to the main road. The furniture in the living room should be replaced. We did not find it comfortable. Linens and beds were very nice. I wish it was warmer so we could sit on the very nicely decorated porch. We would stay again if they switch out the furniture in the living room.

This place was adorable! The host was wonderful, they left us cookies and a guide on all things around the town, hikes, restaurants, shop. They really put a lot into their home and their guests stay. I LOVED the heated floors in the blue bathroom and the tubs. I will say that the wood floors were quite slippery, I did fall once from walking too fast with only socks on. The place felt like a little fairy cottage in the woods. Great location, close to downtown area and hiking spots.

This is the a true cottage. Very magical!! Every room is filled with beautiful decorations and authentic antiques. It is has all the necessities you need. The owners are very nice and helpful if we needed anything. The cottage is located in a quiet area and surrounded by beautiful plants and fountains. If you are looking to get away just for a few days or for a few weeks, I would highly recommend this cottage.
It is located near the mountains and in a cute little town. Every thing you need is right there. You cant go wrong. Loved it!

Let me describe our experience...the owner messaged me early in the day to say the property was ready if we wanted to check in early. I've never had anyone do that. Then there were freshly baked brownies on the counter when we arrived. The whole place was stocked with everything you might need: soaps, band-aids, coffees,extra batteries for tv controllers, plenty of dishes and cups, plenty of paper plates (if you wanted to use them), plenty of pots and pans, plenty of high quality towels. The beds were comfortable as well. And the decor was so interesting! I took several pictures of some of the unique items.
I only have two items of note for potential renters. One, while the place is extremely convenient to Clayton, there was some road noise if you were outside the cabin. It was not a problem inside. Secondly, the shower is inside one of the footed tubs. If you or someone with you is a little unsteady on their feet, they might not be comfortable using that shower.
Overall, this was a great experience and I would highly recommend the owners and this little cottage.

The cottage is well appointed and the owners had everything that we could have wanted available. We were greeted with a pan of freshly baked brownies of all things. Everything was clean and comfortable. We will be back.

My mom and I got away for a much needed mother daughter weekend. We had do much fun! This little cottage is adorable and in a great location from antique shops and great restaurants. We played many games of scrabble at the table and my mom fell in love with the coffee maker. She bought one as soon as we got home. I was in heaven with the bathtub!! The beds were super comfy! We would definitely like to return!

My Mom and I went to Clayton to visit my aunt. The cottage was a nice little spot to stay. Close to downtown. It was very quaint. The brownies were awesome. The only issue was that the floors were not very even and my Mom is not very steady. She was very careful but I thought it was worth mentioning.

My friend and I of 30+ years just needed to get away from family kids and grandchildren. We had the most relaxing comfortable stay. It is exactly in the middle of everything you need to do. We went hiking. We went to South Carolina and North Carolina on shopping trips. And to be coming back to this wonderful cottage sitting on the porch enjoying Peace and quiet was so relaxing. We will definitely be coming back.

We moved our daughter to North Carolina and on our way home spent a few days in the mountains to rest and explore potential vacation spots close to our daughter. Ronnie and Kathy’s cottage was even better than we expected. It was spotlessly clean, very well decorated with so much attention to detail! They shared their local interests and must see places, this was so much more than we expected. I loved the antiques, beautiful art, hand painted china, quilts and the porch was my favorite! There is so much to do and see in the area, we are looking forward to returning. This was a great place to relax and enjoy Rabun County Georgia.

The attention to detail to this property and House were amazing. The trip definitely had the feeling of being at home away from home. Excellent host and great location to downtown Clayton Georgia.
