Cozy 2-bedroom Bungalow 5 minutes from Downtown

This was the perfect place for our weekend getaway without kids! This place was so cute and cozy. It was super clean. We got there after dark and they made sure there was a light on inside for us. The garden had several solar lights as well that made it easy to see. It was close to the downtown area which has a bunch of cool places to eat and shops to visit. The house was pretty much only 15 min from the other towns close by. She recommended the blue hound BBQ, which was amazing, and the Tiger Mountain Winery, which was also amazing. We will for sure return to do more hiking in the area!

Laurie was a kind, informative and attentive host. We stayed at her beautiful bungalow for a long weekend before our daughter graduated from UGA. The front of the house was perfect for hanging out on the porch, sitting on the deck and the fire pit at night. The inside of the house was very cozy, up to date and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The beds were super comfy too. A short drive to Tallulah falls, many hikes and wineries. It was a perfect weekend and we will definitely come back.

Beautifully decorated, quiet, cozy bungalow with great outdoor sitting areas and porch. Host very helpful and responsive to questions.

It was excellent. We loved the cozy porch swing to sit on while drinking our coffee

This is the perfect coz getaway place to stay. Although it was too cold to enjoy, the surrounding garden is beautiful. The owner answered every question we had.

This beautiful cottage is exactly as described and even better. It is not only the hidden garden cottage but it is a hidden gem as well. The cottage is nestled in a quiet neighborhood conveniently located to downtown Clayton, yet it feels like you are far away from everything. The nights were quiet—the morning front porch swing was the perfect cozy coffee/tea sippin’ location. The furnishings and amenities were exceptional. Spotlessly clean, well maintained and well appointed for our needs. You can tell the hosts are invested in creating exceptional stays. Well done! We will be back!!

Delightful little bungalow, perfect for our Twincation! Love the front porch and bed swing.

Beautiful private yard, spacious clean house with comfortable furnishings. Great communication from host. Quiet neighborhood.

The bungalow was cozy and charming, with all the modern amenities we needed. As a published decorator, I especially appreciated the thoughtful aesthetics and attention to detail. My husband and I have visited Clayton several times, but this trip we wanted to stay closer to downtown and we loved it! The location was perfect, just a short and easy drive into town with no steep roads, and the wide driveway made parking a breeze. Despite being so convenient, the bungalow still felt very private, nestled among tall trees with beautiful garden views. I especially loved relaxing on the porch. We would definitely love to come back and stay here again!

wonderful

We had a great stay! The house was in a great location and easily accessible to downtown. This will be top on our list when traveling back to the area.

A very nice cottage an easy 15 minute walk to town

Super clean and charming!

Lovely stay! Close to Main Street and a great neighborhood

Beautiful place!

We absolutely loved the cottage and its peaceful surroundings! It was very nicely decorated and the furnishings were comfortable. The porch was amazing! We look forward to visiting again!

Lovely cottage and garden within 10 minutes of walking time to town, which has plenty of great shops, restaurants and bars. The kitchen was big! for the size house, and it was well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were comfortable, and it was nice having the 2 bedrooms with their own en suite. Favorite area was the screen porch with the most inviting nap swing and a cocktail table with rockers to talk about the days activities. Outdoor dining was a bonus. We couldn’t have been more pleased and look forward to returning to Laurie’s secret garden in the mountains. And Laurie? She was just the best; professional, responsive, and most helpful with lots of great recommendations in the area.

What a spot on, well appointed getaway location. 30 minutes to anything and when there ear ringing quiet. We are booking for leaf change. This a great place if you need a disconnect. Great yard. Lucky for me most still blooming.

This was my second stay at the secret garden. Laurie is a great host and is very responsive.The location is perfect..close to great hiking, beautiful waterfalls, wineries and wonderful restaurants. The cottage is very comfortable, a nice retreat for soaking in the beauty of being surrounded by your own personal garden, relaxing on the porch and being serenaded by the sights and sounds of nature. We look forward to returning again!

We first came to this home in winter and it was lovely…but the garden enticed us to come back when everything was in bloom…it did not disappoint! We enjoyed visiting and board games outside and lounged on the swing to read my book. It will not disappoint! We will be back!

Very nice two bedroom house. The interior looked like it had been done by a professional. Very clean.

Beautiful, peaceful, and spotless!!

Well kept, perfect weekend.. would definitely stay there again

The bungalow is as advertised including the well-done landscaping. It provided a truly relaxing experience. The host was great to work with, and we are already planning a return trip next year.

Nice cabin. Good location. Very clean.

The accommodations were lovely. Such a warm inviting place to stay. We have already booked again!

We loved our quick weekend getaway! The place is great!

Clean, cozy, warm, close to downtown and restaurants

This bungalow is adorable, cozy, comfortable, and is perfectly located for what we needed. The owner obviously takes pride in this property and has created a home away from home. We will definitely be staying here again when visiting family.

This is such a cozy little place. It was perfect for extra room for some out-of-town family for the holidays. Nicely appointed with the comforts of home as well. Close to downtown Clayton and centrally located for any activities you would want to do. Definitely saving this property for future use.

The cottage was even better than its description! My daughter and I enjoyed a long weekend here. The decor was beautiful and Laurie had thought of everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

My sister and I flew in for a 50k fall race. This place was perfect for us to rest and relax afterwards. The attention to detail and cleanliness of this property made all the difference. We spent most of our time under cozy blankets on the front porch! This property is in a great location and close to the downtown strip, but still tucked away and nice and cozy.

Perfect for a Twincation!

We wanted a nice place where we could relax and enjoy being together. This bungalow and location were perfect for us.

We had a wonderful at this artsy inspired cottage. It was the perfect mix of mountain cabin with all the amenities of downtown Clayton just minutes away. The host was wonderful at meeting our needs and communicating with us.

We did a short three night stay. Everything about the cottage is exceptional, we will definitely do it again!

We loved the big porch swing /bed and fought over the king bed too. The firepit outside was nice too.

Loved this cute, cozy bungalow! It was super clean and quiet. Access was easy with a great location close to town. Communication about checkin and checkout was helpful. Laurie thought of everything to make our stay pleasant and comfortable. We hope to return!

This property is so charming and comfortable it would have been very easy to just stay on the front porch the whole time.
