Thank you for your kind words! You were an absolute delight to host, wonderful in communication, and a stellar guest in every way! Please know you have found yourself a mountain retreat at Victory Ranch! You are most welcome back anytime.
Beautiful, well built, exquisitely decorated and positioned on a picturesque piece of land. Highlights are the stunning bathroom and the awesome front porch swing. The beds are super comfy! I loved everything about this property and hated to leave.

Thank you for such beautiful words, Beth! We are so glad you had such a wonderful time and appreciate the landscape as much as we do. Thanks so being such a great guest. You are most welcome back to Victory Ranch, anytime!
We loved our weekend here. Cabin and grounds are beautiful. I’m a big fan of real fireplaces and bathtubs, and this cabin delivered beautiful versions of both. The kitchen is not ideal for serious cooking and it’s 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom, so probably not ideal for any more than a couple people, but worked out perfect for us. And Clayton is a lovely little town.

SO glad you enjoyed your stay. We too love the coziness and intimacy real fireplaces and bathtubs create. This home is ideal for two people, it is truly equipped as a couples retreat and has notoriously been titled by our guest as the "Honeymoon Cottage" :) Please know you are most welcome back anytime!
The Hope House is a spectacular mountain retreat. Everything you need for a luxurious stay is included. The grounds of Victory Ranch are immaculately maintained. Sitting on the porch and enjoy the quiet and beautiful surroundings was one of the favorite parts of our day. We can not wait to return to this amazing location.

It was such a joy hosting you, Susan. Thanks you for your kind words. Please know you are most welcome back anytime!!
It was beautiful inside and out - just like the pictures! We did not have cell phone reception while on the property or going around the curvy mountain roads but that just made it an even quieter weekend. Very relaxing. We did have service on main roads and in downtown Clayton and Dillard area. Enjoyed pizza at Fortify Pi and had delicious meal at BlueHound BBQ in Dillard. It all made for a wonderful birthday celebration!

Hi Leigh, Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay.
Thank you for being such a great guest.
Come back and see us.
A windy road leading to serenity in the valley. This place was a great escape for my family and I. The house was very clean, well maintained, quiet, and just as described in post. The quiet is great. My daughter loved the deer, turtles, and fireflies that were on property. We will be back sooner than later, as we fell in love with the area. Thanks!

Derek you and your family were absolutely lovely! Thank you for your words, they are so kind! We are delighted to hear that you had a great stay. Please know you and your family are most welcome back and always have a mountain retreat at Victory Ranch!
My daughter and I loved our getaway at this charming, beautifully decorated cabin. It was perfect. One thing I would recommend is to note that we had zero cell service when trying to get into the property, so could not look up the instructions or directions on line for the gate code, etc. we recommend instructions to print the directions and take a screen shot of the codes to get in. We loved this property and can’t wait to come back!

Thank you Stacey .
Look forward to seeing you again.
Stayed here for a long weekend to escape the city and celebrate my fiancé’s birthday. The property was so peaceful and spacious. We had a wonderful time enjoying the early autumn weather and walking the grounds in the mornings with our coffee. The house was incredibly tidy, comfortable and so well-equipped. The hosts have truly thought of everything. We experienced excellent communication leading up to and during our stay. We could not have asked for more. Can’t wait to return!!

I’m a licensed general contractor and came in town to visit some clients and decided to bring my wife along and share with her this amazing place. Photos and reviews do not do this justice. These homes are extremely well manicured with a lot of attention to detail in the design, construction, and decor. We really enjoyed the large bathroom and the front porch as it put us both in a complete state of relaxation. The property is extremely tranquil and offers an amazing feeling of being away from anything with extremely luxury amenities that are sure to make you feel at home. We will definitely be coming back to stay in one of the other homes.
From the moment we drove through the private gates we were amazed by the beauty of the rolling property, stream running through it, vines and a fire pit at the top of the hill. We felt like we were in another country. We forget how beautiful our own backyard is. We followed up the hill to our house and passed by the a beautiful natural garden. The stone house was even more impressive then the pictures. The finishes and furnishings were high quality and it felt like home. Every detail to the inspirational decorations around the home spoke to our family and made our trip very special. My wife and daughter enjoyed the tubs after a long hike one day. Their laughter filled the house as they bonded together. We are grateful to the host for opening up such an incredible property. One last point I would like to make is the location of this house to downtown Clayton and the best hiking in the country was perfect. Everything felt close.

Thank you so much for all of your kind words and beautiful review. Please know you and your family are most welcome back to Victory Ranch, anytime!
The cottage had everything one needs to make it through a weekend get-away. The entire property is well maintained and I would not mind returning again. The surrounding area has plenty of things to do to fill up a day of excursions. We hiked, shopped in the local stores, and ate out to get a taste of the area.
This was the perfect place for us to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. We loved the location, setting, style and quality of the cottage. We will definitely be back.

We are so glad you had a wonderful Valentine Day weekend at the Hope House. It brings out hearts joy to know that our guests see the same beauty and charm as we do. Thank you for being such great guests, you are most welcome back to Victory Ranch anytime!
If you are looking for peace and quiet or a location from which to visit local attractions, Hope House is a great alternative. It does need a bit of TLC and I'm hopeful that this will be taken care of soon since this house is a real treasure. Currently the garden is not in shape to be used, but the front porch is wonderful to relax on and there's a terrific swing. There is 1 bedroom with 2 queen beds so make sure that's acceptable for your situation. It was a great place to relax.

Hi Natalie- as per our conversation all of the items that you noted have been addressed and corrected immediately. We appreciate you having taken the time to address the above-mentioned and are grateful for your meticulousness. In regards to the garden, it is a seasonal wild garden that changes constantly with blooms that are in season. In some seasons it is more lush, in others it is much drier given the weather of the particular season. The pictures on-line of the garden reflect the Spiring. We have had our landscapers tend to it with extra care since you're note, however I would in no way say that it was/is not able to be used in terms of walking or sitting on the stone deck or utilizing the stone bbq. All of those activities most certainly have been and are still acceptable and usable and many of our guests have utilized them all on various occasions. I am sorry that the garden was not to your standards however am glad that your overall stay was a pleasant and relaxing one.
Had a girls’ trip. Spent 2 nights. The place we stayed was very important because we wanted to stay home, visit and chat - coffee on the porch, cocktails on the porch, supper on the patio, nightcap on the porch. This property was perfect for that. We ate lunch in Clayton on Day 1 and hiked Day 2 and Day 3. We ate all our other meals at home since we planned our meals for simplicity and using summer’s bounty. The home was well-equipped and so fun to experience, because of the luxurious touches, the quality of the home and all of the finishes that completed the sense of place. The property is large, quiet and pastoral with so many places to walk, explore and relax. Since we didn’t even “do” Clayton, we’re planning to come back. Next time for 4 nights!
Such a gift to experience the beauty of nature and an exceptionally appointed designer cabin in North Georgia. All you can ask for and more!

About the host
Hosted by CHELSEY DELGADO
As family who sent their kids to YMCA Camp High Harbour on Lake Burton for many years, Clayton, GA became a summer staple where we would visit. Many years later, we decided to return to the lake for a nostalgic trip down memory lane and while enjoying a fabulous Sunday Brunch at "The Red Barn at Tiger Mountain Vineyards" we stumbled upon a newly listed vineyard for sale. Within a few months time, my family acquired "The Vineyards at Persimmon Creek" and re-named it "Victory Ranch" and "The Cottages at Victory Ranch." Unfortunately, the vines had died due to a lack of care and some harsh winters, and with it, the vineyard, tasting room and bottling center were no longer. However, the legacy remained.. My family and dear friends of ours have enjoyed "The Cottages at Victory Ranch" for many years. It has been a tranquil place for healing, relaxation and contemplative silence. Whether its listening to the low hum of the creek or watching butterflies dance in the garden, this land has made its home in our hearts and it is our joy to share it with you. We pray that you know you are so WELCOMED here! May you enjoy all that "The Cottages at Victory Ranch" have to offer.
Why they chose this property
This property was previously owned by a family who ran "Persimmon Creek Vineyards" which was a fully operating vineyard, tasting room and bottling facility, along with offering a "Bed & Breakfast" Sonoma-style experience with three (3) custom curated individual, private cottages for guests to stay in while experiencing the "day to day" of a working vineyard. They are named The "Hope, Joy and Grace" Houses. "The Hope House" can be found to the left when you pull up to the drive, and is settled amongst a rotunda with the two other cottages surrounding an English garden and trellis that provides a beautiful seating area for four (4) and an outdoor stone grill for the chef looking to grill under the stars. "The Joy House" is the the right when you come up the drive (The Joy House VRBO#1652322). The Joy and Hope houses are walking distance from each other. Great for friends and family that want to travel together but each have their own home. Between the two (2) cottages, a total of 8 guests can be accommodated.
