Hiking in Rabun County

The cottage was clean & roomy enough for 1-2, ideally located, & walkable to downtown 3 blocks away. The bed was comfortable and Charles is a true southern gentleman.

Lovely cottage, great location, and a very kind host

This cottage is in the perfect location within walking distance to everything you could want to visit in downtown Clayton. It was clean and simple, just what we needed for a weekend of hiking. The host, Charles, is a kind man who came out to greet us and chatted with us briefly. Wonderful stay, we hope to return!

Nice little cottage

The cottage was very clean and neat. The host was very nice and helpful. He swung by one afternoon to check in to see if we needed anything but other than that gave us our privacy. We would definitely come back if we’re ever in the area

Everything you’ll need

Our host, Charles, was extremely kind & accommodating, and has a wealth of knowledge about the history of Clayton with books/brochures of best places to visit in town. The cottage was quiet, quaint & very clean with its own garage. It’s also strategically located within walking distance to the heart of Clayton. Thanks for everything!

Perfect for a few days

I went to Clayton for a work shop and the cottage provided exactly what I needed. A safe, clean, easily accessible place to shower, study, and sleep. Mr. Mobley was pleasant and attentive. He was even kind enough to check on me when I failed to call him upon arrival. If I ever make my way back to Clayton this is the place for me!

Super clean and convenient place to stay

This rental surpassed my expectations for my brief stay in Clayton. I was in town for some mountain recreation, and the Cottage on Hamby suited my needs perfectly. From the garage to park my car, to the large fridge, kitchenette, loaded cable tv and beyond, the cottage was a quiet, serene, location to rest after being in the mountains. It was also just a brief walk to town for accessing shopping and local restaurants. The owner, Charles, was extremely helpful and kind, and was quick to offer dining and antiquing tips. Would definitely stay at the Cottage on Hamby again. Five stars!

Waterfalls galore

Lovely little space with the added bonus of having access to a garage. Received a call from the host on the day of arrival to coordinate our arrival time and access to the garage. The room had everything we needed for a simple stay. Great spot for hiking and waterfalls. Over 10 waterfalls within 30 minutes or less. Town is small, but has a nice charm with some unique shops and restaurants. Can’t beat the area for the price. Highly recommend!
