About this property

Rue with a View – Picturesque Mountain Views

2 Bedrooms and loft: King, King, Queen, Full Sleeper sofa and 2 Baths – 2 wrap around decks – Mountain Views.
With views for miles, those looking for a view, peace and quiet will not be disappointed. The cabin sits just 3 miles from downtown Clayton, on Screamer Mountain facing South Carolina. With upper and lower wrap around decks, there is plenty of places to sit and enjoy the views. The lower deck is covered, with ceiling fans for enjoying the views. There is a large, flat parking area with easy access to the cabin.
Inside, there are two bedrooms and a loft area for sleeping or taking an afternoon nap. There are two full bathrooms and an open kitchen with ample counter space for those who want to cook their own meals. An open family room allows for relaxing in front of the tv or playing games at the dining room table. Downstairs the game room supplies fun for all with a full-sized Arcade Console and flat screen tv. There is a full-sized sofa sleeper in the game room as well.
The master bedroom is downstairs off the game room and allows direct access to the lower covered wrap around deck. The master bathroom includes a jetted tub for relaxing after a day of hiking some of the nearby waterfalls. The laundry room is downstairs and includes a washing machine, dryer and wash basin.
Cell phones will either be spotty or not work at this location, however, Internet is provided so you can use the VoIP service offered on most phones (Voice Over Internet Protocol).
We supply 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom 2 two rolls of paper towels in kitchen, along with hotel size soaps, laundry detergent and shampoo. Hopefully this will be enough basics to give you time to go shopping once you have settled in.

Mountain Views & close to town

Check in process was smooth owners accommodated us to check in earlier which was amazing since we drove from south Florida overnight. The drive up was not bad at all- follow the instructions provided and you’ll be fine. We’ve stayed in the area before with much more steep and limited space. The cabin is perfect. Cozy and comfortable. Plenty kitchen gadgets and coffee mugs. I’d definitely return here in the future.

Great stay with amazing views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rue with a View and the pictures did not do our view there justice. We loved every morning and evening sitting outside and enjoying our time in such a beautiful landscape. Everything was clean and comfortable and the hosts were amazing and quickly responded to any questions I had. Definitely 5 of 5 stars!

Best View Ever

We stay at Rue with a Vue because that’s what it is. The cabin is easy to reach, paved roads. It is so comfortable and homey. Absolutely the cleanest place I’ve ever stayed. It’s well maintained and the owner is very accommodating and helpful if you have questions. Thank you, Derek

Amazing View

We had a beautiful Christmas while visiting the Rue Cabin, the view is priceless , the accommodations were perfect the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed for all our cooking needes. We had much fun playing the arcade games, sitting on the back patio sipping our mornings coffee or just relaxing by the warm fire. The town of Clayton is lovely with many great shops, grocery stores were close by. I definitely would stay again and recommend to others.

Great views promised and delivered!!

The house was wonderful. Great views and the space was super clean and spacious. Old school game machine was nice bonus. Driveway was a little tricky but i figured it out...I would recommend arriving in the day light. Other than that, this house really delivers and I look forward to coming back.

Purely Peaceful

I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The view is amazing. It is so quiet and peaceful. The place was clean and comfy. When we weren’t in town we spent most of our time one of the decks sipping coffee or wine. The Gallaga was an added bonus. My husband and I had so much fun playing pac man and it got very competitive. We really loved the place and will definitely be renting it again.

About the host

Hosted by Derek Blagg

Host profile image
We are two friends who decided we wanted property in North Georgia. I am originally from Colorado, and my business partner is a native of Atlanta. We both fell in love with the mountains and mountain life early on. He has been coming up and hiking these woods for years and I spent my youth in the mountains of Colorado. We finally decided we needed a place we could come to as we pleased. Rabun County is 70% National Forrest. The amount of hiking is almost unlimited. Making for a great place to get away.

Why they chose this property

The view is the first, but not the only reason. The cabin itself is exactly what we wanted. The large open space with windows for the view, as well as the Master with its own private covered deck with great views. Secluded in the mountains, yet just a short trip to the town of Clayton. We fell in love immediately with all of it. We spent the first 6 months renovating to repair, upgrade and make it more comfortable.

What makes this property unique

The view is definitely what makes this unique.
