The Crew
Everything was really beautiful! We were a little confused about the fourth bedroom, not realizing it was a loft with very little privacy. I think describing it better might be helpful. Yet, our friend group is resilient and still had a great time! One of our friends left her jewelry bag and the owners were helpful in helping her recover it. Also, a few more lights in the adorable breakfast nook would help!

Beautiful place
Perfect for a trip to the beautiful mountains in North Georgia! We were in town for a family wedding at Terra Incognita Vineyards and the location worked out great. We were able to spend some time in cute downtown Clayton as well, where there are several nice places to eat and cute shops. Everything was seamless and we would definitely stay at this home again.

Exceptional home
This property is wholeheartedly recommended. The house is beautifully appointed and was perfect for our family. The loft and downstairs allowed everyone to fit perfectly. It’s location is beautiful. We were in town for a wedding and not familiar with the area at all. Sara was so nice to offer her recommendations on golfing, farmers markets, and shopping. Everything she recommended was great. The town of Clayton is a must to visit and just minutes away. The home has everything you need to enjoy your time. One of the nicest VRBO properties I’ve stayed at. If I ever come back to this area I will definitely stay here again!

Cozy, clean and updated
It was a girls weekend in this lovely mountain home for us four ladies (of a certain age). We took lots of time chatting on the porch deck and taking in the Fall beauty of the mountains. We visited nearby Tallulalah Falls. We hiked to the observation decks and toured the interesting museum. We especially enjoyed the thrift shops in Clayton and Hiawassee. Daniel’s Steak House provided a delicious and reasonably priced meal in Hiawassee. The host provided precise directions to the house. The road was a bit steep but quite doable. The suite on the lower level was charming. Highly recommend this home and it’s gracious host, Sarah.

FANTASTIC GETAWAY
We loved this very private property perched with the perfect views from the back porch. The owner has taken great care to make this place perfect and is extremely helpful and communicative. We LOVED everything about our long weekend at Mashburn. The entire home is beautifully decorated, comfortable and cozy. The kitchen is fully equipped, hot tub has an incredible view and the fire pit was so fun even in July. Nothing you will need is more than a 10-12 minute drive (groceries, dining, shopping, tubing, hiking, fishing, boating...) and downtown Clayton is AMAZING! We will be back!

Wonderful Home and Experience
We enjoyed staying at Lakemont. It was in a beautiful, peaceful location within a short drive into Clayton for shopping and restaurants. The home was so well appointed, and the owners have done such an amazing job with the design. We had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. My family really enjoyed spending time in the hot tub, and when temperatures dipped, we had plenty of opportunity to build a fire inside and outside. The owners even delivered firestarters to the house when we inquired. We want to return.

Fantastic House
Everything about this home was fantastic! It's extremely clean and well organized. Everything has its place. The view off the back porch is really nice. The front porch is really nice and the fire pit conveniently located with plenty of firewood. The beds are really comfortable with nice sheets and comforters. We all slept wonderfully. There is a nice binder with tons of helpful information including simple and specific instructions for how to utilize the 3 remotes to turn on the TV with pictures included. I couldn't broadcast to the TV from my iPhone/iPad, but this is probably because of my own technical challenges rather than the TVs as it is a smart TV and most likely capable. Sarah was very responsive and helpful! We saw a Mommy and baby deer from the back porch one morning and a bobcat while driving up the driveway at night. Would definitely rent from again!!

Great place close to Tallulah Gorge
We were charmed by the decor and the views out the windows! The abundance of firewood was also a great convenience...the fireball is nicer than most. Good seating for all when eating home-cooked meals. You feel very remote but you aren't far from town and touristy things at all. Enjoyed hiking the Gorge and visiting Goats on the Roof lol. :) (Please contact me if you want to stay sometime in the Florida Keys! I have an amazing 3 BR 3BA house there on the water in Marathon!)

Amazing Mountain House
First of all, thanks to the owner, Sarah, for sharing her beautiful home and view with our family and making sure our stay was a memorable one! The home and amenities met all of our needs. Although you have everything you need at the house, It is close to dining, shopping etc. We highly recommend this to anyone wanting to spend time in this beautiful part of Georgia.

A hidden gem of heaven
This house was everything and so much more then you see in the listing. Sarah was an incredible communicator, she went above and beyond to provide top suggestions for restaurants, boat/jacuzzi rentals, activities to do, hikes and her personal touch was so appreciated. She invited us to live music and we had a blast. Her home is incredibly set up, warm, cozy and so modern with a personal touch of artistry. The views are breath taking full of ever changing clouds interplaying with the mountain tops, the animals like bunnies and deer visit often to say hello, the jacuzzi so fun especially on a cool rainy day, the firewood provided for endless nights of admiration and the upstairs bedroom to wake up to a stunning view is nothing short of beautiful. Thank you for such an amazing stay, we loved it so much we're coming back to see the leaf changes in the fall.
