Photos and Description of the Clayton vacation house rental 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, sleeps 10-14, 2-level with decks

View, view, view was the idea when this lovely new home was built - maximize the view! So the great room was designed with cathedral ceilings and a wall of multiple windows showcasing the north Georgia mountains. The great room leads onto a huge end-to-end deck that overlooks miles and miles of glorious mountain ranges. Most rooms lead to the decks on the main and lower levels. Tastefully furnished in casual elegance, this retreat gives the feeling of luxurious comfort. It is the ultimate mountain getaway, very private, yet only minutes to historic downtown Clayton. Activities are in abundance in and around the Clayton area, but some prefer the peaceful quiet of their beautiful surroundings and choose to stay home and relax. Built to accommodate families, this lovely home has first class amenities for everyone. It is equally desirable for couples seeking plenty of space, but affording plenty of privacy for the perfect romantic escape. You'll not want to leave!

Heaven at the top of the mountain!

Lady Carol Buford, GA (Atlanta area)
Review Submitted: April 26, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
At the top of a challenging driveway, Grandview is more beautiful than the pictures on line. Superbly decorated, immaculately clean, and situated with a view that can keep you relaxed for hours soaking it in from one of the rocking chairs on the deck. So homey and inviting!

We held our 15th annual cousin's reunion weekend here. A dozen mostly-retired cousins had a wonderful opportunity to visit and talk. The cousins came from the Atlanta area, Ohio and Indiana. Some of us don't see each other year to year otherwise.

We had two players who enjoyed the pool table. The fire pit provided a venue for "remember when" stories and s'mores. The well supplied kitchen meant several of the great cooks in the family kept us well fed and, as is family tradition, other cousins got to clean up!

We enjoyed the Goats on the Roof attraction, Tallulah Falls, Toccoa Falls, and Travelers Rest Historic park. That made for a half day circular route of site seeing. We found several restaurants for lunch on the main street in Toccoa. Returning to Clayton via Highway 76, we could look up on the mountain over the golf course and see our Grandview home. (Clue: find the orange metal roof home and Grandview will be to the left.)

As the reunion planner this year, I'm delighted to have discovered Grandview which is within 90 minutes of my home. I hope to visit with my local extended family soon.

You will find the owner Tami to be very friendly and quite responsive to any inquiriesvia email or phone. Couldn't be better.
Owner's Response: FYI for future renters: The driveway is steep, but is paved and does not require 4-wheel drive. We have also made a back-up pad with reflectors (for night), so you may go down the drive going forward. In back of the house where the drive ends, there is room to park about 4 vehicles.

GrandView was perfect for our group of 14. It is beautifully furnished, well-equipped, and clean. The view is spectacular! Bring a ball cap or sun visor for the morning sunshine pouring into the great room!

Review Submitted: February 1, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Here it is February 1st and we are still basking in the afterglow of our Thanksgiving Family Holiday at the Grandview Home in Clayton. The stars may never be aligned again to allow us another holiday as memorable as this one was since our family is rapidly moving into adulthood and by next year will be splintering off in the their own individual directions. Nevertheless, your home was everything it was advertised to be. The kitchen was well equipped and easily handled our Thanksgiving dinner for 11 people. The view was spectacular the sleeping arrangements were perfect. We spent almost every evening sitting around the fire pit which was an added plus. The house is close to grocery shopping, dining out and a short drive to the Highlands/Cashiers for additional dining, shopping and entertainment. Also easily accessible is Tallulah Falls with hiking trails accommodating any level hiker. We may never be back as a family, but I’m sure to book it again soon and be sure to bring my friends with me.

A wonderful getaway

CMac1 Clearwater, Florida
Review Submitted: January 25, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
Last summer, my husband and I took our children and grandchildren to North Georgia and had a fabulous time in the mountains. The home exceeded all expectations. It was beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, with every appliance, utensil, pot, pan, dish, everything we could ever ask for and more. The owners followed up to make sure all was as expected.

There is something for everyone within a short distance--gem mining, mountain hikes, outlet mall, a charming downtown area.

The views from the deck are spectacular. We will be back again this year.
