About this house rental

Tucked along a gentle creek with views toward Black Rock Mountain State Park, this fully renovated 1950s cabin is an easy, romantic base for food hopping, boutique browsing, and blue-sky adventures.

Date-night made easy (walk everywhere). Forget parking—stroll 5 minutes to downtown Clayton for chef-driven dinners, wine flights, and nightcaps, then wander home to the hot tub.
Slow mornings, soft evenings. Start with coffee on the creekside patio, linger on the back porch, then end the day soaking under the stars while the water rolls by.

Adventure by day. You’re minutes to waterfall hikes, scenic overlooks in Black Rock Mountain State Park, lakes, and whitewater rafting—come back, kick off your boots, and exhale.

Bedroom 2: Queen bed with smart TV

The home was just lovely! It was so accessible to downtown Clayton (5 minute walk) and so close to any activity you may want to do! The home was exceptionally clean and well maintained! Although it was located very close to the road, the road noise was very minimal and not an issue at all! The hostess was very attentive and responded whenever I asked anything of her! The home was just idyllic!

Great place to stay in walking distance of the downtown area. We were there during Ramshackle weekend, which was very busy, glad we could walk everywhere. Great town. Definitely plan to go back. Raybon Social and Frida's were 2 of our favorites! House is great with the hot tub and lower fire pit (being your own wood). Quiet setting on a creek... really lovely to sit outside.

This adorable creekside cottage is in the perfect location. Very private and serene but only a short walk to restaurants and shops. Heather puts a lot of thought into all the little extras to make your stay even better. Have already booked this place for our anniversary trip next year.

The house was clean, warm, and welcoming. It is in a very private setting in the woods, but a very easy walk to local stores, dollar tree, or a nice local brewery. We had a great time sitting by the fire and in the hot tub with the sound of the creek behind us, the kids even enjoyed a little swim. The creek is only about a foot at the deepest, so it was a short swim, but they enjoyed it!
