This house was great for our extended family vacation. There are lots of comfortable bedrooms and multiple living areas (inside and out) so everyone can spread out and have their space. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table, games, and big tv in the basement. The location near Clayton is great, but the steep, winding road going up to the house can be tricky (especially at night).

From the beginning of reserving this property, Karen was extremely helpful and hospitable. We had 10 people, and everyone just loved the accommodations and all the extras that came with it. I highly recommend if you have a big group this is the place to go - you will NOT be disappointed any time of the year!

My friends and I had an awesome stay at Sunset Ridge in Clayton. The home was beautifully appointed and the layout was perfect for our large group. Check in and check out went extremely smoothly and the guidebook Karen provided about the area was very helpful for the days we wanted to venture into town. We came in stressed and left out refreshed! I’m already planning another visit!

The house was absolutely wonderful, even better than the description/photos! There was more than enough space for us! Unfortunately as the trip became closer the weather decided to turn aaaaaallll the way down. There was a snow storm and Atlanta essentially shut down (as it does lol). The property owner hopped on a call with me to run through the “worst case scenarios” if we decided to come regardless, which tbh we’re not that bad because she was SO PREPARED. It would have meant using a generator, snuggling on couches, and playing board games by flashlight. The original plans of going into town were nixed due to the snow and ice, but we went on amazing winter hikes and read books by the fireplace instead. Overall, this was the most amazing escape for us millennial ladies! We will absolutely be booking here for our annual trip from now on!

Our stay in Clayton, Georgia was absolutely wonderful! The view was simply breathtaking, and the house was so comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had a fantastic time visiting a winery, going horseback riding, and hiking. We're already looking forward to returning in the future, and the warm hospitality made our trip even more special!

Our extended family spent Thanksgiving week here and had a wonderful time. We cooked and went out for hikes in the state parks nearby. The house was clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The host was an excellent communicator as well as very thoughtful. The WiFi worked well and the view out the back was amazing. Highly recommended!

This property and Karen, my contact were far above my expectations! We are a Book Club group of 9 ladies, 70 somethings, and we were bowled over by the perfect cleanliness, super soft sheets, comfortable beds, bounteous towels, and welcoming touches we found when we entered the house. There is not one method to prepare your morning java, but 3, a French press, Keurig, coffee pot, and oh yes, a kettle for us tea lovers! There was a sweet basket full of supplies to make S’Mores over the fire pit and lots of instructions to assist. Karen was great throughout and we hope to perhaps visit again.

First, communication with the host was top notch from time of booking through the length of stay.
We needed a place for 10-12 adults, and wheelchair accessibility. The house is beautiful, and definitely met the needs to accommodate us all, without feeling cramped up. Do your due diligence on what you need as far as accessibility, since each need is different. I am used to thinking outside the box, and figuring out alternative ways to make things work. The golf course located right there is an added bonus! All in all, it was a great home to stay in, and give it 5 stars!!

Our son got married at Chattanooga Belle Farms. House was about 15 mins drive. Beautiful home. Plenty of room for large families. Everything easy to find. Kids and adults loved the s’mores and ping pong. Exceptional host. Many amenities nearby. Highly recommend staying here.

The perfect home for a large family. The home is beautiful, very clean, and located in a quiet neighborhood on the side of a mountain. We had the rehearsal dinner at Kingwood which was 5 minutes from the house. Karen actually suggested the location. All 6 couples had a room and space to get dressed without being over crowded. In the mornings and evenings, we all sat out on the deck and enjoyed the view. Wonderful location.

Our family had the best time spending Thanksgiving week up in the mountains! The house looked exactly like the pictures and we've never stayed in a cleaner VRBO. The house was stocked with everything you need which makes you feel like you're right at home. A lot of time was spent on the deck taking in the breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. Karen was so easy to work with! She was always available for any questions and full of suggestions for places to hike, eat, or grab drinks. Clayton is a wonderful area to visit with so much to do! We made some wonderful memories and can't wait to do it again.

And just like that it was over. Three wonderful days and 4 nights celebrating our youngest daughters college graduation. The home was just as advertised and exactly what we expected. Beautiful neighborhood and spectacular Mountain Views everywhere we turned. We will definitely come again when the time is right. Karen the host was very attentive and ready to assist with any problem that could have arisen. None did !

First and foremost, the owner, Karen, was beyond first class. She communicated with us before, during, and after. She had numerous recommendations that were spot on. She resolved minor issues that were user error on my part quickly. She is by far the best host we have ever dealt with. The property is beautiful and the location is perfect! The kitchen is very well equipped with appliances and we all enjoyed cooking there. We spent many hours on the porch relaxing and looking at a mountain we named Broccoli Mountain. Go see why! Also there are lots of games and puzzles and we donated a new bingo game that the grandkids loved playing. We highly recommend this home for your next relaxing vacation. Lots of waterfalls and close to Helen for tubing and great German food. Thank you so much!!!

Our large family of 12 stayed at Sunset Ridge for a week to attend our mother-in-law's funeral. The house was absolutely perfect and we had everything we needed. My father-in-law is 90 years young, and needed a ramp for his wheelchair. We requested a ramp and it was there when we arrived. The house had plenty of room for our large group and everyone was very comfortable. The house was ready when we arrived and everything was spotless. There were little extras like a help-yourself S'mores ingredient basket, oatmeal, popcorn and candy dish. The house is very well appointed and had everything we needed. The lower level rec room was perfect for the little ones, with a large TV, ping pong and video arcade machine. The bedrooms on the lower level are separated by the rec room, and we heard very little noise in the bedrooms, even when the TV was on. The neighborhood is secluded and private, and the neighbors are very nice. Karen is great to work with, and the communication was excellent. We highly recommend this property. Thank you, Karen!

There is a reason this property consistently receives 10 out of 10 ratings. The home is in a beautiful gated golf course community. The minute you walk in you feel at home. The hosts have thought of everything!! There are plenty of coffee pods provided for the Keurig along with creamers and sugar. There are also plenty of snacks and protein bars provided as well. The home is immaculately cared for and you can just feel and see the cleanliness. The home is well stocked with everything you need for a memorable vacation. All bathrooms have the wall mounted dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash and every bath has an abundant supply of bath towels, hand towels and wash cloths. The kitchen is fully stocked as well with anything you need.
We really enjoyed having two separate living room areas. The adults had a nice one up stairs while the kids loved the downstairs living room equipped with a large television, ping pong table, PAC Man game console and tons of other board games provided. The home is so large that even with a larger group there is so much room to spread out and relax. The outdoor spaces are amazing!! A fire pit and sitting area for cooking S’mores, two nice decks with beautiful views of the mountains and amazing sunsets. A very nice gas grill is provided as well. I cannot say enough about how diligent the cleaning
Staff are that take care of this property.
These hosts are so thoughtful and provide an amazing property!!!!!

We had a wonderful experience during our stay at Sunset Ridge June 25-July 2. Our host, Karen, has done everything to make this vacation home a real home! Everything in the home is high-end from the furnishings to the linens to the kitchen items. The beds were all extremely comfortable and the coffee bar was a hit. The young kids and adult kids really enjoyed the arcade and the ping pong table. The large farmhouse table was a great get-together place for family games and for adult conversation and beverages after bedtime for the kids! Our most favorite place to hang out, though, was the deck. It overlooks the mountains and there is a spectacular sunset view!
Karen was extremely helpful to us. She called me a couple of days before our arrival and suggested some wonderful restaurants and area places to visit. Clayton has many cute shops and the Tallulah Gorge is only about fifteen minutes away. Great hikes in the area as well! Definitely check out Highlands NC. Beautiful drive there. We saw a bear cross the road right in front of us!
Karen did something extra special for us. She found out that we had lost my mom unexpectedly on our annual family vacation last year. When we arrived at Sunset Ridge, there was a beautiful bouquet waiting for us with a note: "In memory of Mema". I can't tell you how much that touched everyone's hearts, especially my dad's. That kind of thoughtfulness and consideration is what you see in how Karen has made this home such a wonderful place to stay. We hope to come back sometime soon. I highly recommend that you make plans to stay at Sunset Ridge. You won't regret it! Thanks again, Karen!
