Charming Cottage
We booked the Joy House during spring break for a short mountain getaway with our teenage daughter. The cottage was very comfortable and well thought out. The attention to details was much appreciated. The property was absolutely beautiful and very private. We enjoyed long walks in the morning and sitting on the porch taking in the beautiful mountain scenery. Our hosts were very welcoming and kind. They communicated with us to ensure we had a safe and enjoyable stay. We really appreciated that! We enjoyed exploring Clayton and the surrounding towns. The property is centrally located to the area and we would definitely book again in the future.

This is a beautiful house on an amazing property. It used to be a vineyard , the meadows and stream with incredible views still exist , just no vines. Only issue was the kitchen as we like to cook. Limited prep space and drawer only fridge/ freezer was too small.

North Georgia Getaway
My wife, son, and I had a great week at the Joy House. The property is beautiful and well maintained. It provided the perfect base for our weeklong getaway to the mountains of North Georgia. Chelsey was great at communicating all necessary information prior to our stay. The home provided ample access to the area’s attractions, including nearby Clayton, Tallulah Gorge, and the Foxfire Museum. I highly recommend Joy House to anyone looking for a quiet place of respite and relaxation.

Snowy weekend
Joy House lived up to its name when snow fell closing down many Clayton businesses. We grabbed take out n stoked a fire in the stunning rock fireplace n snuggled down for a night in. The house is well furnished w multiple games n Netflix and Apple TV as well as all the comforts of home. Lovely experience .... including FOUR inches of snow !!

Lovely little weekend away
We were so pleasantly surprised by the scenery, amenities and beauty of the Victory Ranch! We had no idea there could be such beauty a short ride from Atlanta. The Joy house was a perfect fit for our family of 4 and we enjoyed exploring and sitting in front of the fire. Our only mistake was not bringing more food so we could enjoy more meals at the house! The drive into Clayton is only about 5 miles but not 5 miles you want to drive after dark with winding roads so plan accordingly. The decor and linens are top notch and Chelsey (owner) was very responsive. The bathrooms are also gorgeous! We can’t wait to return and are going to invite my inlaws next time and rent both the Joy and Hope houses!

Lovely cabin and grounds for remote getaway
Cabin and surrounding property were beautiful and we really enjoyed walking the trails and grounds despite the rain we had during the trip. It was more difficult to get to than we thought- a very winding road to and from Clayton, GA and we lost cell service as we got close to the house so keep that in mind and print out all directions and gate code, house lock code, etc in advance! Chelsea was great to work with and very accessible so she helped us through these challenges, including the fact that the internet was also not working at the house. Other than those issues, we really enjoyed the stay.

Joy Is the Perfect Name
The Joy House is a beautiful and cozy VRBO across the lane from the Hope House on Victory Ranch. The sign in the kitchen reads, "Faith and worry can't live in the same heart. One has to go." The entire experience at Joy House was like a message from the universe to leave all our cares behind. We relaxed the moment we entered the gates. As for the details... the space is beautifully appointed. We're extremely picky about beds and bedding. The bed in the master bedroom was like sleeping on a cloud. The bathrooms were spacious, sparkling, and gorgeous. We bought wood in town and kept a fire going in the stone fireplace all the time. We enjoyed the gardens and the grounds. The kitchen is small but had everything we needed, and we expected that from the descriptions, reviews, and photographs. We highly recommend this VRBO. It's perfect for couples or a small family. Choose JOY!

About the host

Hosted by CHELSEY DELGADO

Host profile image
As a family who sent their kids to YMCA Camp High Harbour on Lake Burton for many years, Clayton, GA became a summer staple where we would visit. Many years later, we decided to return to the lake for a nostalgic trip down memory lane and while enjoying a fabulous Sunday Brunch at "The Red Barn at Tiger Mountain Vineyards" we stumbled upon a newly listed vineyard for sale. Within a few months time, my family acquired "The Vineyards at Persimmon Creek" and re-named it "Victory Ranch" and "The Cottages at Victory Ranch." Unfortunately, the vines had died due to a lack of care and some harsh winters, and with it, the vineyard, tasting room and bottling center were no longer. However, the legacy remained.. My family and dear friends of ours have enjoyed "The Cottages at Victory Ranch" for many years. It has been a tranquil place for healing, relaxation and contemplative silence. Whether its listening to the low hum of the creek or watching butterflies dance in the garden, this land has made its home in our hearts and it is our joy to share it with you. We pray that you know you are so WELCOMED here! May you enjoy all that "The Cottages at Victory Ranch" have to offer.

Why they chose this property

This property was previously owned by a family who ran "Persimmon Creek Vineyards" which was a fully operating vineyard, tasting room and bottling facility, along with offering a "Bed & Breakfast" Sonoma-style experience with three (3) custom curated individual, private cottages for guests to stay in while experiencing the "day to day" of a working vineyard. They are named The "Hope, Joy and Grace" Houses. "The Joy House" can be found to the immediate right when you pull up to the drive, and is settled amongst a rotunda with the two other cottages ( The Hope House VRBO# 1642191) surrounding an English garden and trellis that provides a beautiful seating area for four (4) and an outdoor stone grill for the chef looking to grill under the stars. Should you decide to travel with family and friends, we can accommodate a total of eight (8) guests total between our two cottages available. "The Joy House" and "The Hope House" are walking distance from each other.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, beauty and seclusion.
