“What a delightful little place! I read in the 1961 Guest Book that the place was called Look Away Lodge... it was a time that our family needed to ‘look away’ from some events and fix our eyes on others. We were able to do that in this quiet place. Another thing that blessed my heart was the kid-friendly touches. My two little grandkids had toys, books, and their own beds tucked away in the attic. So thankful for Lauren, the host, and her concern for our stay.”

The Cabin's Story

When to Book
Heart Pine Lodge is lovely year-round, but the mountains around Clayton have a rhythm worth knowing.
- October to early November (peak): leaf season in the Blue Ridge and the busiest weeks of the year. Book far ahead.
- June to August (summer): lake days on Burton and Rabun, rafting on the Chattooga, and cooler mountain evenings than most of the Southeast.
- April to May (spring): waterfalls running full, wildflowers on the trails, and fewer crowds.
- December to March (quiet): the coziest season, with fires in the fireplace, bare-tree views, and the lowest rates.
Good to Know
- Historic, not old-fashioned: the 1908 cabin keeps its antique character but has been updated with modern amenities, including a retrofitted HVAC system.
- Tucked in the woods, close to town: downtown Clayton is just minutes away for dining, groceries, and shops.
- Close to the best of Rabun County: Tallulah Gorge, Black Rock Mountain, and Lake Burton are all a short drive.
- Great for families: the crib, play mat, and toys mean less to pack for little ones.
