Waterfall vacay in Clayton area

The Cascades Inn is in a great location near Clayton, GA and has amazing views. The waterfall at the creek down the stairs is incredibly peaceful. My only regret is we couldn’t stay longer since we were here for a friends wedding. This place is a must stay if you are in the area. The cabins are well maintained and are very spacious as well!
