The Owl is one of Valley Springs Lodgings 4 cabins located on the hillside overlooking the Lake below. Valley Springs has a total of 8 cabins on 122 acres with a small lake, 3 small ponds, roaring creeks and a waterfall. You will feel remote but will only be minutes away from Clayton, Ga with its trendy shops and wonderful restaurants. Our cozy cabin has 1 bedroom with a queen bed and closet, 1 bath with shower and a kitchenette equipped with a mini frig, Mr Coffee coffee pot, microwave, toaster oven, 2 burner hot plate, dishes and utensils. Towels and washcloths are provided along with toilet paper, paper towels, dishwashing liquid, bath and hand soap and complimentary coffee, filters and condiments. A propane grill with propane included and 2 rocking chairs await you on the front porch. Our knotty pine walls add to the rustic cabin atmosphere. A large screen TV with Dish Satellite is included. The cabin is air conditioned and has gas heat wall units. We do offer Wi-fi at no additional charge. The Wi-fi is spotty at times at Valley Springs. The Wi-fi at Valley Springs has the maximum speed for this area which is 3 Mbps. This is a common occurrence at many locations in the mountains. Some of our guests can text only from Valley Springs.

Come relax, rest, and rejuvenate on our oasis of peace and serenity listening to the music of the rippling creek; on the porch or on the swings by the lake, picnic at the beautiful waterfalls, or hike our 122 pristine acres. You may also want to explore the many activities of the surrounding areas from antique shopping in Dillard, Georgia, outdoor flea market in Rabun Gap (seasonal) and Clayton indoor all year flea market, local wineries located in Rabun Gap and Tiger Georgia, whitewater rafting at nearby Longcreek, SC, ziplines at Scaly Mountain, hiking two state parks Tallulah Falls and Black Rock Mountain, a multitude of waterfalls spread out over the entire county or you may want to visit one of several pristine Lakes located in the county.

Restrooms are at the beach locations and public picnic tables so you can plan a delightful day. Terrora Park at Tallulah Falls is another beach and picnic location.

Smell

The property was beautiful, but the smell in the cabin was terrible. It smelled like it hadn't been opened and aired out in years. They had left us with only 3/4 of a toilet paper roll, no shampoo, no conditioner, no dish soap and the powered coffee creamer was as hard as a brick. We were planning on staying for 3 days but left after one day because couldn't stand the smell. They also don't provide any kind on maid service during your stay, so had to buy toilet paper, shampoo, conditioner and coffee creamer.

Stayed in The Owl Cabin

Our stay was okay.. road was a little scary getting up to cabin.. the cabin was nice enough but needs way more lighting at and around the cabins and around the lake to view it while sitting on the deck after dark. Extremely remote and far from ANY civilization except for when our neighbors arrived in the cabin next to us. Was our first time here . Was nice enough , just needs updating and cleaning up around the grounds area.. decent weekend mountain getaway, just not sure will stay again here

Great last minute getaway

We enjoyed our stay at Owl Cottage. Property is beautiful and very peaceful. We enjoyed the short walk to the waterfall. We will definitely consider renting again when we travel to the area.

Detail cleaning

Clean the porch so we could have spent time outside. Stain on sheet. Window in the kitchen does not lock at all. Dust on blinds and valance.We understand that it is a cabin but the porch should be cleaned after each rental .

Cozy Cabin

Extremely enjoyable location, small but cozy cabin in a beautiful area. Loved watching the ducks on the water, walking to the waterfall, enjoying the all the creeks nearby, sitting by the fire pit and sipping coffee on the porch sitting in the rocking chairs. My only suggestion would be to replace the couch. The springs on the back have no support and actually bounce back and are very uncomfortable. Other than that it was a wonderful weekend getaway!

Scenic and delightful but minimal

A beautiful place to get deliberately “snowed in”. Loved walking the property; don’t miss the waterfall! Power company was quick to get power back on; cabin stayed warm. I would have liked a mattress pad under the sheets, more cups, glasses, etc., in the kitchenette, a sofa that didn’t “spring” when you sit down, and cuter decor (lose the cactus), but those are just my personal preferences. Overall, it was a delightful, well-kept place!

Cabin

The view was beautiful. The cabin however had a musky odor, sofa is worn out and sheets on the bed were a little rough. With a few updates this cabin would be perfect!

Perfect place for us

The location is secluded , beautiful, well cared for and perfect for relaxing get away. But if you want to get out and do things thay are multiple places and things to do less than 20 minutes away. The cabin was clean and just the eight size for the two of us. Wifi was great . We love the Clayton area and have stayed in different places. But this is where we will be on the future visits.

Cozy cabin for two.

Really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. We loved the front porch with the view overlooking the lake. It was very clean upon arrival. The bed was comfortable but a little squeaky. The sofa was okay but had a spring popping in the back rest. And it could use a little more silverware and dishes. The location is beautiful but you are a little closer to other cabins than it shows in the pictures. Overall a very nice place. Would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the stay.
