"The view is outstanding. It is hard to imagine a better one. The cabin is very comfortable (though the ac in the downstairs bedroom a little noisy). We had a power outage in the are in the middle of our stay, no fault of our host. He was, however, very quick to respond to our texts regarding what was going on, which we much appreciated."

"We had a great stay in Clayton! The house was very spacious, comfortable, and exceptionally clean. We were there during a pretty hot weekend, but the house stayed nice and cool the entire time, which was a huge plus after being outdoors during the day.The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of amenities and everything we needed to cook both breakfast and dinner without any issues. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax, and every bedroom having its own smart TV was a really nice touch.Overall, the house was clean, comfortable, well equipped, and perfect for our weekend stay. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Clayton!"
