Vacation rentals in Clay

The Riverside Retreat has lots of space for big groups, and it would be a good deal if your group is indeed large. For a smaller family (4), and it being wintertime, we didn't feel like we got as much bang for our buck. That said, the surroundings are lovely, and the back porch area as well as the dock and all the water toys (kayaks, peddle boat, etc.) would be super fun in warmer, drier weather.

So quiet and peaceful! Like being in a home away from home.

Was in town for a bass tournament on Smith Lake. I had my boat with me and this place was great for a fisherman or a family. Great parking situation with access to electricity for charging batteries. The farm and pond were very cool and the house was clean and well equipped with everything a person needs. Will be staying here again when I am fishing smith.

This was an incredible experience! This place is especially perfect for couples, no matter the occasion. I would definitely recommend it for an anniversary or even a honeymoon. It’s beautiful, peaceful, and unique. The hosts were so friendly and helpful, and the entire stay felt like a bucket list experience I didn’t even know I needed. Again, the scenery is beyond beautiful—peaceful, serene, and the perfect escape. We especially loved relaxing by the fire pit in the evenings, and one of the highlights was making pizza from scratch on a pizza stone using the gas grill provided by the hosts. Everything was just perfect—truly a 10,000 out of 10 experience! Whether you’re someone who’s seasoned at off-the-grid living or it’s your first time trying something like this, this place is a gem. It’s the kind of stay that meets you where you are and gives you exactly what you didn’t know you needed. Highly, highly recommend! 10 out of 10—highly recommend!

Visited for the first time last weekend and we loved it so much we booked it again for the next weekend. The home and area are just beautiful. It’s so peaceful!! We would go every weekend if we could.

We had a wonderful stay, the host was great and the cabin was beautiful! The cabin was exactly as shown in the photos, the outdoor area was amazing. Will definitely be back!

The home was clean and in an ideal location for our recent family gatherings. We loved the mountain-top location and the surprise underneath the cliff at the base of the stairs!

Great stay! Wonderful space that’s minutes away from everything that downtown Birmingham has to offer, as well as a very helpful parking spot. The place was clean and has a great TV in the living room, as well as a wonderful bathtub and general bathroom space. Would definitely stay again!

My family and I loved Pat & Daves place!! We will definitely make this a reoccurring visit for sure!!
