Fabulous, relaxing stay
Christina's "cabin in the woods" is worthy of all the 5 star reviews! Our family was impressed with the attention to details, the decor, the comfort, and the abundance of amenities. The beds and linens were extraordinary; it was difficult to rise to start the mornings. The cabin and surrounding area is so peaceful, along with the charm of Clayton, that we cannot wait to return to this property!

Perfect stay, perfect cabin
We have been going to this general area every year for 25 plus years and this was one of the nicest cabins we have ever rented. It was so clean! Everything was top notch, all the attention to detail! The hostess was very receptive. The property was extremely well maintained!!!! The only thing I would point out is that the main cabin is 1.5 bathrooms not 2+. Was not a problem for us but did want to point that out. I would give this cabin a 10/10! Easy to get to, close to everything yet still in the woods. We would love to go back! Absolutely peaceful and charming. Can’t say enough!

Gorgeous Get Away
Everything was exactly as presented. The house is cozy & comfortable & close to town & hiking. It had everything we needed & more! Beds & sofas are super comfortable. We loved it & loved bringing our two dogs with us. We will definitely return. Note, we did follow our gps & start off stuck in a bad situation without 4 wheel drive. So, if your gps says stay left-stay on the gravel road in the middle. Possum Trot is lovely. We brought firewood & had daily fires in the wood burning stove.

Perfect Getaway, wish we stayed longer!
Love-Love- Love- We absolutely loved this cabin. It was very clean, tastefully decorated and well appointed. It was the perfect getaway for me and my husband. We thoroughly enjoyed coffee on the porch and wine by the fire pit ever day. So much to do nearby, hiking, restaurants, waterfalls.. truly a nature lovers paradise. We will definitely return to this unique spot.
