Summary: Be careful walking to town from this cottage! While the location is a walkable *distance* from Clayton shops and restaurants, the .3 miles closest to the house do NOT have a sidewalk, are on a bend where cars often speed through, is not very well lit at night, and have you walking on very small shoulders and through people's front yards. We did not feel very safe walking that portion of the otherwise very do-able trek. The inside of this cabin is exactly as pictured (adorable!) and the owners provide all the necessities for a nice stay. Do be sure to note that there is no dishwasher, and that only 1 of the 2 bathrooms has a shower (the other is tub only). But everything was clean, well-stocked, and comfy. The location was a great jumping off point to area hikes, and we certainly enjoyed a quick getaway in this rental!
