About this property

Creekside Cabin - Walk to Downtown

Ready for the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation? Our charming 1950s cabin, completely renovated with a modern twist, sits creekside with stunning views of Black Rock Mountain State Park. Best part? It’s just a short, 5-minute walk to all the action in Downtown Clayton—restaurants, shopping, breweries, and more!

At 820 sq ft, this cozy cabin has everything you need: two comfy queen bedrooms, a spacious kitchen for your culinary creations, and a living room made for kicking back. Relax on the back porch or creekside patio and listen to the soothing sounds of the creek. It’s like being in the forest, but you’re just feet from the road into town.

Why you’ll love it:

Outdoor adventures galore: Hiking, waterfalls, whitewater rafting, and more are all nearby!
Sunsets and hot tubs: Watch the sky turn colors over the mountain, then unwind in the hot tub after a stroll home from dinner in downtown.
Walkable convenience: No need to worry about parking—just walk downtown for dinner, drinks, or shopping.
A few things to keep in mind:

Kids: The cabin is close to the street (don’t worry, it’s a small, quiet road), so please keep an eye on little ones.
Pets: Sorry, no furry friends allowed.
Parties: This isn’t the place for a party, but it’s perfect for kicking back, sipping a drink by the fire, and soaking in the peace and quiet.
We’re just a short drive away, so if you need anything during your stay, give us a shout! We can’t wait for you to fall in love with Clayton—and our cabin—as much as we did. 🌲✨

Wonderful

Great place to spend time too get away from it all. Loved that it was walking distance to downtown Clayton, which has plenty of shopping and places to eat. The house has a beautiful outdoor area, but wish it would have had a gas bbq grill. Definitely will be going back.

Best Girls Weekend!

We had a great time at the cabin! Enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning. Enjoyed wine in the hot tub in the afternoon's. Fire pit by the creek was so nice, be careful that last step when rainy is slick ;) The beds were sooo comfortable. Quality linens were a luxury, wish we had just a few more towels but made do. Heather checked in on us when we arrived, to see if we needed anything, such a nice gesture! The hot tub was such a treat, it was agreed with the girls we picked the best cabin in Clayton!

Magical Cabin!

If you’re thinking too good to be true, you’re only 1/2 right - this place is great and is true! Just as advertised - on side road that leads to town (650 steps to Currahee Brewing) and about 500 more steps to Main Street of town with all the shops and restaurants. Plenty of great hiking nearby - Black Rock state park & Foxfire 10 minutes away plus other trails in War Woman area. About 15 minutes to Tallulah Gorge and must-visit Tallulah 1882 cafe. We loved relaxing on the front porch when it rained, and enjoyed evenings by the fire pit after a hot tub dip. The kitchen is well equipped and home very clean. Will absolutely be back!

Perfect getaway soot

The property was as described and the owner was very responsive. The cabin was so cute and relaxing on the creek. Loved sitting on the deck listening to the sound of water and soaking in the hot tub. It is within easy walking distance to the local brewery and downtown restaurants and shops. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful weekend at Creekside Cabin

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed a delightful weekend at Creekside Cabin. Even though you are a short walk from downtown Clayton the cabin sits by itself on a quiet street. We enjoyed morning coffee listening to the sounds of the stream. At night we sat by the fire pit and again enjoyed hearing the creek tumbling over the rocks. The only time we drove anywhere was to Tiger Vineyards and that was 5 minutes away. We walked everywhere else because it was so close. The cabin is comfortable is well stocked with all the essentials. The owner is very helpful and great to work with as well. We can't wait to go back!

Cozy Cabin on the River

Cabin is walking distance to charming downtown, yet nestled off by itself in a nest of wooded area by a stream. Hot tub on the deck was pretty big and clean. Jets were awesome on it! There are strings of Edison type bulbs everywhere outside, so it is well lit. Chairs and fire pit are down by the river as well a hammock. Kitchen was well stocked and beds comfy. Host thought of everything for our stay!

Incredible little getaway

Heather was a very nice and communicative host. 3 people slept comfortably in a quaint and thoughtful cabin. there were so many nice touches to the design and experience. You are right off the main road which we thought would be loud or in the way, but barely any cars passed and it was honestly the best case scenario because we felt safe while still feeling like a getaway. Close walk to downtown - pass on dinner at Fortify for a local bbq joint. We’ll be back!!

Beautiful modern cabin for a getaway

My partner and I had a delightful time in this cabin! It is, as mentioned on the listing, walking distance to downtown Clayton and is very close to a road, but the road is not particularly well travelled and the rear of the cabin still feels secluded and private. The porch space over the creek is a perfect place to relax; it's about as close to feeling like you are in the woods as you can get while still being so close to the amenities in town. (The thoughtful arrangement of fairylights make evenings spent on the porch truly enchanting!) Everything was clean and prepared for our arrival with some nice little touches. The interior is decorated tastefully and with a modernist sensibility, well-suited for a cabin in this particular style. The size is ideal for a couple or a small family, and the layout is both cozy and convenient. Everything worked well, from the kitchen appliances to the hot tub, which was clean and heated for our arrival. Checking in and out was the easiest experience I have had with a VRBO property as well! The owner is both friendly and communicative. Nothing went wrong during our stay, but I am confident that if we had any issues she would have taken care of it quickly. I highly recommend this property if you're looking for a place close to town that feels secluded and has everything you could want in a getaway cabin. I will certainly be looking to return should I ever wish to stay close to Clayton!

Perfect Quiet Getaway

Creekside Cabin was the perfect place for my husband and I to get away for a couple of days before the start of the hectic academic year. The inside and outside of the cabin where as cute and cozy as they could be! Heather is a great communicator! We really appreciated that she and her crew were able to accommodate an early check-in and provided coffee (one less thing to buy for a two-night stay!). I would 100% recommend.

Perfect cabin for those who want modern comfort

Heather's cabin was absolutely adorable! We wanted to feel like we were cabin camping but with modern, updated amenities; and this was perfect. The host was very communicative and accomodating for our small child. The home was well-stocked with quality products (rare in my experience) and very clean - VERY clean! I have never seen a cleaner hot tub! It is also one of the only places in the area that allows a single-night rental, which we needed but we would have loved to have stayed longer. It was also conveniently located only a minute or 2 to downtown Clayton, but it felt secluded. We loved our stay and would definitely recommend this place!

Relaxing in the GA Mountains

Our group (2 couples) had attended a Saturday wedding in Gainesville, GA. We were looking for a relaxing place to stay for a night, that was on our way home to NC. Clayton, GA and the cottage fit the bill perfectly. The cottage is exactly as advertised. Walking distance from Main Street and it's shops/restaurants/breweries was fantastic. We had an early dinner and sat around the fire pit for the rest of the evening. Absolutely Perfect! The owners, made the process easy and were very attentive to any needs, but we didn't need a thing. It was already there. We will definitely stay there again, if we return to Clayton.

Great Place for Couples

This cabin had everything needed to enjoy the mountains. It is as described in the photos and has a nice feel to it. There is plenty of outdoor space to enjoy with lighting that makes nights even more enjoyable. A variety of hikes are a short drive away. When the hiking is done, shopping and dinning are less than a mile from the cabin. We really enjoyed both the cabin and close proximity to town. We would stay here again.

Why they chose this property

We just purchased Creekside in May of 2022. When we saw the listing come up, we knew this was unique and special. It sits so close to the creek you can hear the sounds. You feel completely secluded while enjoying the firepit Creekside, but in reality, you are only a short walk to downtown Clayton. We simply love it, and all the area has to offer!
