About this property
Designer, 3/3 cottage, fenced yard DT one street off Main
Oak Crescent is conveniently located smack in the middle of trendy, hip, and adorable downtown Clayton, GA’s historic district. Walk to artsy Main St in 20 seconds flat or stay put and enjoy the fenced yard, tire swing, and fire pit. This 1920’s bungalow has been renovated with a mid century flare and decorated with love and attention to detail. With vibrant colors and fun kitsch, if you can’t be happy here, you cant be happy anywhere.
The Property: Oak Crescent includes a 1/2 acre fenced grassy yard with the most beautiful 100 year old oak (complete with tire swing for the young at heart). In summer, the house is engulfed with native hydrangeas. Enjoy the fresh mountain air from one of many outdoor perches or cozy around the large firepit for 5.
The Cabin: Walk through that robins egg blue door and you have arrived to the most quaint of mountain abodes. With the vaulted tin roof in the main area, guests will be begging for a rainy day. The use of bright, fun colors make it nearly impossible not to wake up on the right side of the bed. Finishes include all shiplap walls, wide-plank hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings and Jenn Air appliances.
The Layout: From the front porch, guests enter into an open main living area that houses the gathering room (with wood stove), dining room for 7, and kitchen in the rear (with coffee nook). Both ensuite bedrooms are off of the main living area (one with a king bed and the other with a queen bed). Off the kitchen, there is a half bath and steps leading down to the basement bunk nook with 3 twin beds and a laundry area.
The Area: Experience the charm of Downtown’s shops, bars, restaurants, and live music. Enjoy our local wineries, amazing boating on Lake Rabun & Burton, endless scenic hiking trails, horseback riding, whitewater rafting, trophy-worthy trout fishing and everything else beautiful Rabun County has to offer.
The Details: The living room, both bedrooms, and the bunk nook all have flat screen smart TV’s for streaming. We also have wifi. The kitchen is stocked with general kitchen essentials. This property is pet friendly with prior approval and a nominal pet fee. Parking is available for 3 cars. We expect our guests to be respectful of our home and our neighbors. If the (very reasonable) house rules are not adhered to, you’ll be asked to leave. Absolutely no parties.

Oak Crescent was absolutely perfect for our getaway to Clayton. The location puts you right in the middle of Clayton, allowing you to easily walk to all shops and restaurants. The cottage is incredibly clean and provides all the necessities you need. We look forward to renting Oak Crescent again!
We had a great stay in this well-equipped, conventionally located and supremely comfortable home! Perfect stay!!!

Location!!!!
We enjoyed our stay at Oak Crescent. The home has all the amenities and it was very clean. The location is perfect for walking to the great restaurants downtown. We will definitely be staying there again.
My daughter and I stayed here for a few days and absolutely loved it. Walking distance to all of our favorite places! Clean, adorable and well stocked. Will definitely be coming back.
Very nice place and very clean. Great location to downtown Clayton and close to several towns. Beds were just a little bit too firm for my liking. Very roomy and places for everyone to stretch out after a long day.

Same time next year!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Oak Crescent cottage in Clayton, GA. The cottage was beautifully decorated and comfortable. Our granddaughter loved the tire swing out front and we all enjoyed the fire pit in the evening.
This cabin is behind historic Main Street and is an easy walk to great restaurants, a new wine bar and wonderful shops. We plan to return next year!

Coziest house in the best location
From the start this house felt so warm and inviting and cozy. Every detail has been thought out from the decor to the amenities to the layout. The outdoor space is phenomenal - especially with kids and our dog. We loved the walkability to the historic downtown and ease of drive to the Highlands and even Cashiers. We had an amazing time exploring and and equally just hanging out in the house, playing games and enjoying time together. We will be back so soon!

Beautiful Home Wonderful Location
This by far the best location you can be at if your are visiting Clayton and the north GA mountains. You can walk to so many shops and restaurants. Very short walk also. The house is perfect. Everything you need to cook your own meals. Cooked thanksgiving dinner and everything I needed was right in the kitchen. If you are looking for the perfect place to take your family, look no further than the Oak Crescent home in Downtown Clayton.

Cozy and Convenient
This beautifully decorated and cozy home was a perfect place for our family. We enjoyed everything the home had to offer. My kids loved swinging on the tire swing outside and playing board games that were provided. The proximity to the town could not be beat. We walked to dinner and to coffee in the morning. This was also very quite and we slept great in the comfortable beds and lovely bedding provided. We had everything we needed and our family of 6 would definitely stay here and again and recommend to friends.

Great location and excellent home features.
Lots of experience with Kristi's properties in Highlands so knew what to expect in Clayton. Was not disappointed as the cabin was furnished and outfitted with care. Wonderful place to stay and right in town though felt like plenty of privacy. We could walk all over town for shopping and restaurants within 5 minutes. Also good for exploring and hiking in nearby trails. The furnishings and kitchen equipment felt just like being at home. So nice to have a place to go to change the scenery and relax. Julep Farms was very nice to spend a couple hours and a short drive from Clayton.
Great location right behind Main with all the shops and restaurants that’s an easy walk to get to. Just know that everything is DONE at 9pm even on Fri/Sat in downtown Clayton. Fenced yard was large and gave the dogs plenty of room to explore. Deceivingly larger inside and the extended deck and fire pit area would allow for entertaining if you had more staying. Nicely appointed throughout and comfy bed in the primary (that’s the only place we slept). Somebody did a nice job renovating this house and maximizing the space while also bringing in a modern touch and retaining a classic bungalow aesthetic. Could see this being the perfect rental for 2 couples and a few kids as a home base for exploring the area. Would definitely stay hear again!
We really enjoyed this charming bungalow for a few days to celebrate the 4th holiday and also a special birthday. The owners have made sure you have everything you need, especially in the kitchen. All-Clad cookware, high end appliances and plenty of thoughtful touches made for an easy stay. Loved the eclectic, colorful decor. Beds were comfortable with soft pillows and cozy linens – the quilts are just adorable. Kitchen and baths were nice and clean. Nice ambient lighting, Alexa for tunes, thoughtful living room seating and cozy blankets were much appreciated. The yard is totally fenced which made bringing our pup a breeze. Parking was good for up to 3 cars. Location is AMAZING *if* you want to be super close to downtown Clayton. Like, walk to Wander in a minute close. The only drawback is there is some construction going on around the house so the small street likely feels a little more hustle bustle than usual but it was not a big deal and did not impede our stay. Don't miss the tire swing under the gorgeous old oak tree, and no, you're not too old to swing. Thank you for a fun weekend getaway to the mtns!

Wonderful stay to begin Fall
My husband and I stayed in this special mountain cabin (truly vintage) beginning the day after Hurricane Helene. The town of Clayton was fortunate to experience no damage other than some downed trees and disruption with internet service. This cabin is as lovely and accurate as the pictures depict. We could easily live there! All modern updated features, beds and linens, bright lighting, a fully equipped and contemporary kitchen with superb appliances. Downstairs is a family dream…..a small lower room beautifully converted to a cozy bedroom with 3 single beds and heavy snuggly comforters and blankets. No car needed here! A walk to Main Street is literally 1 block, and there you are with great restaurants and shopping. Oh, and about 50 feet away is a new tasting room serving specialty cocktails, and in town a wine tasting room. House was spotless. The owner was quickly responsive and so helpful. This house is a little gem. Do not miss! We will absolutely be back.
Great location especially with having kids and going back and forth to town! The house had everything we needed and would definitely stay again!

Great stay!
Loved the decor and comfort of the cottage. The up to date modern kitchen was great and it is the perfect place for a family as it has spacious accomodations. Best of all, it is only a few steps from the heart of downtown Clayton. There are plenty of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. We look forward to a repeat visit!

We loved our stay at this cabin in Clayton. The decor was so charming and cozy and really well done! The location was perfect to come and go to downtown Clayton for ourselves and teenagers. Literally, steps from great shops, restaurants and bars. We also found fishing close by in the area and hiked Rabun Bald Mountain and Black Rock Mountain. We also enjoyed the firepit and the fenced yard making it pet friendly. I would definitely recommend!
The perfect way to spend Thanksgiving. We love this neat little house situated right in the village of Clayton.

This cottage is perfect for a visit to Clayton. Everything in town is within walking distance, including the very nearby Speakeasy which features cocktails fashioned from locally distilled liquor. The home itself is cozy and well apportioned with most anything you could need on a mountain vacation. We enjoyed the firebox in the house for morning and evening fires, and the fire pit outside was perfect to roast marshmallows. Each bathroom had plenty of linens. We will definitely return.
