About this property

Experience a Frank Lloyd Wright-Inspired Escape in Northeast Georgia

The Wright House is an ideal retreat for couples, families, and small groups who find as much delight in nature’s beauty as they do in art and architecture. Designed by the famed modernist architect Jim Fox, a student of the Frank Lloyd Wright tradition, this unique 1986 home was constructed with a clear vision: to harmonize with its natural surroundings and optimize the breathtaking views of the valley. Inspired by Wright’s philosophy of organic architecture, the home was designed to blend seamlessly with the landscape, making it a true architectural gem in Northeast Georgia.

Upon entering, you’re greeted by a strong, inviting entranceway, carefully designed to create a transition from the outside world to the inside. As you step inside, the home's open floor plan immediately creates a sense of spaciousness, with a natural flow between the main living areas. The expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors bring the outside in, offering panoramic views of the valley and allowing sunlight to illuminate the interior. The clerestory light fixtures further contribute to this sense of openness by reproducing natural, ambient light in the evening while maintaining privacy.

The cathedral ceilings add vertical grandeur, but the home maintains a sense of groundedness through the use of horizontal lines in the architecture, a signature of Wright’s style. These low, sweeping lines mimic the flat, expansive landscape of the valley, making the house feel deeply connected to the surrounding environment. The roof, designed with dramatic cantilevered overhangs, extends beyond the home’s structure, offering both shade and visual drama while also emphasizing the horizontal aesthetic.

At the heart of the home lies a central hearth, a cozy fireplace that serves as the symbolic center of family and community, reflecting one of Wright’s key principles. The use of natural materials such as stone and wood is evident throughout the home, blending the structure with its environment.

One of the house's most stunning features are its windows— they not only offer continuous views of the landscape but also allow for a constant influx of natural light. These windows frame the beauty of the surrounding landscape, making nature an ever-present part of the interior experience. Step through the sliding glass doors onto the terrace and porch to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets while remaining connected to the natural world.

The low-pitched roof of the home further emphasizes the horizontal lines and maintains a gentle, unobtrusive profile, allowing the house to sit quietly in its environment. This architectural choice ensures that the structure feels like a natural extension of the landscape, not an imposition on it.

Though the house showcases a mid-century modernist approach, it remains comfortable and welcoming, with the main living area located on one level for ease of access. Whether you’re sitting by the fireplace or enjoying the outdoor spaces, every aspect of the design encourages reflection, relaxation, and a reconnection with both nature and loved ones.

Centrally located near state parks, outdoor adventuring, fine dining, and boutique shopping, this property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Whether you’re seeking to hike the nearby trails or explore the local culinary scene, the Wright House provides an unforgettable retreat for architecture enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.

A stay at the Wright House is more than just a vacation—it’s an opportunity to live within a piece of art, one that draws on the timeless principles of Frank Lloyd Wright’s architectural vision. Guests will appreciate not only the breathtaking views but also the custom lighting fixtures designed to complement the home’s architectural lines, the carefully designed entranceway that offers a sense of compression and release, and the overall feeling of being both sheltered and connected to the world outside. It’s a place where form meets function, and where design meets nature in perfect harmony.

Exceeded Expectations
The trip was planned to unwind from a couple of stressful months. It was absolute heaven. So quiet & peaceful, we spent hours enjoying the deck and views. The property had everything (and I mean everything) you could wish for! Loved the wet bar, the pantry was well stocked with spices, oils, vinegar, etc. the bedding was comfortable, the couch was comfy enough for daily naps. This is our new favorite house rental! Love love love.

We loved everything!
It was just a joy to stay in this house. We were lucky enough to have fabulous weather most of the time, but in the evening when it rained, we were still able to sit outside on the porch under the overhang and not get wet! The property is incredible. My dogs were so happy. Our original plan was to go out for dinner, but we enjoyed the house so much that we ended up changing our plans. We decided to eat in - just picked things up from the supermarket (and also ordered pizza.) Wait till you see the pantry! It is absolutely stocked with anything you could want to cook. We can't wait to come again. Oh - Stone Creek Winery/Vineyards - excellent. We went there twice!

Coolest House Ever!
We took our 4 grown kids for a final summer, long weekend. We loved it! Huge back deck with spectacular views of the mountains. The house itself is beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright style. Cozy, inviting, unique. All the comforts of home and well stocked. My son called it "coolest house ever"! We will be back!

Wonderful vacation in an amazing home!
This house is full of charm! We loved every minute of our stay! The architecture, furnishings and Nancy’s art work made every minute in the house seem like a treat. The views could not be beat. My two children and their small families joined us and we all had plenty of space and every amenity possible. We did not want for anything, from dishes to humidifiers and from games to extra blankets, they had it all! We will definitely be booking this home again!

Amazing House in the North Georgia Mountains
My wife and I loved our stay at this amazing home! The great views and the floor to ceiling windows really make for an awesome way to kick back and relax. The internet at the house is FAST. They have TVs with streaming services. There's also plenty of verizon 4G signal for your cell phone at this house. It is located less than 10 minutes away from a Grocery Store, a Chick Fil A, The Dillard House, and The Cupboard. The house is easy to get to, located a few miles off the highway with easy driving roads leading to the driveway. I highly recommend this house and hope to stay here again sometime soon.

Amazing - a stay you have to experience!
We often get to appreciate a work of art - we seldom stay in one. But that is what this house is - my wife and I are fans of Frank Lloyd Wright and prairie style/midcentury modern design. The home is beautiful and an atmosphere that calms in itself. It is nicely decorated with art by the mother of the current owner. The setting could not be better - fairly easy access, a great property and a view from the deck that will draw you out there any time of day. The screened-in area is a plus. There is a neighbor close-by but we did not hear them other than occasionally their dog. All of the space is very usable. Everything is comfortable - from the beds to the couch to the dining table chairs. The common spaces in the home were great places for family to congregate but the house is also big enough to get off on your own if that is what you want. We traveled with family - two couples, a teenager and two dogs - and the home worked for everyone. The house is well stocked with necessities and fun (books, games, guitar, etc.) The kitchen was very usable and we cooked several times - the owners have labeled everything you need to find - which was helpful. We communicated with Peter (the owner) and he was great to talk to and seems to be on top of fixing any needs or issues that arise. The home is in a great neighborhood, easily accessible to all the the things you might want to do in Rabun County. We highly recommend it and vow to return and enjoy it again!

Beautiful home and property
The location of the property is so beautiful in every direction you just can't quit looking around. The home is lovely and comfortable and the screened porch makes a wonderful spot to sit and stare at the mountains and the park-like back yard. The original artwork is like being in an art museum. Around every corner is another extraordinary painting. Peter was a very responsive host, and we thank him for sharing his house and his mother's art with us.

Just the Wright Place
The architecture of the home was wonderful. Comfort and elegance. The host was very thoughtful and thorough with the preparation of the home for our stay. Off the beaten path but close enough to Rte 441 to get wherever we wanted to go easily. Our only real regret was that it rained most of the time during our stay, so we did not get to spend any meaningful time on the wonderful deck looking out over the beautiful back yard. We recommend this home highly and would not hesitate to stay there again.

Beautiful house and scenery
We chose this house because some of our family live nearby and a cousin highly recommended it. The house is beautiful and we enjoyed the “Wright” style immensely. We are a family that cooks and this house was well equipped for that. The queen bed in the master bedroom is pretty firm and the king bed is a softer mattress; options for all types. The deck and views are truly beautiful. We will absolutely stay again for the next family visit.

We stayed here with family + pets for Thanksgiving week and we all loved our stay here! The house has so much character and is truly a work of art along with the many beautiful original paintings. We bought firewood at the nearby grocery store and made s'mores in the amazing fireplace and the large dining table was perfect for puzzling and board games. The kitchen had everything we needed and more, as well as a walk-in pantry with lots of spices and whatnot. There are also some great hiking places not too far away.

Great views and location
We really enjoyed our stay here. The home was super clean and the views of the mountains were wonderful. We appreciated the fact that all of the light switches are labeled as there are a lot of them! The welcome basket was a very nice surprise too. Communication with Peter was easy and he was extremely helpful. The architecture of the home is unique (Frank Lloyd Wright style) and all of the beautiful paintings were a bonus. The bed we slept in (the king) was comfortable as well. If you have any orthopedic issues you might want to be aware that none of the toilets are chair height and the bathroom vanities are not counter height. We’re sure due to the owners wanting to maintain the original integrity of the home’s design these changes have not been made. Just something to take into consideration ahead of time.

We stayed at Wright House Retreat for our annual girls' trip. The house and property were even more beautiful in person, and the house had every amenity you could think of. We've been going to North Georgia together for 12 years, and we've stayed at several different properties.

About the host

Hosted by Peter Dusenberry

Host profile image
Tom and Nancy purchased this house not just as a home, but as a sanctuary—a place where life slows down and the beauty of nature takes center stage. Nestled in the tranquil hills of Northeast Georgia, the house offered them the perfect setting to immerse themselves in the outdoors, where morning walks and evening sunsets would become cherished rituals. For them, it was more than just four walls; it was a canvas for creating memories. Here, they could gather with family and friends, celebrate life's milestones, and watch their grandchildren grow, playing in the woods and discovering the wonders of nature.
Nancy, an avid painter, saw endless inspiration in the shifting light and seasonal changes, with the landscape providing a peaceful backdrop for creative expression. They both loved the idea of the house becoming a gathering spot—a place where loved ones could come together, whether for holidays, birthdays, or simple weekend getaways.
But perhaps more than anything, Tom and Nancy found solace in this space. It became a retreat where they could disconnect from the busyness of everyday life and reconnect with themselves and each other. On quiet evenings, with a fire crackling in the hearth, or enjoying the setting sun in spring they could simply be—content that their home would forever be a place of comfort, creativity, and connection for generations to come.

Why they chose this property

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Clayton, Georgia, offers a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and culture. Its charming Main Street is lined with locally-owned shops and delightful restaurants. Wander North Georgia provides outdoor gear, while Main Street Gallery showcases local art, and Timpson Creek Gallery offers rustic home décor. For dining, enjoy Southern comfort food at The Clayton Café, farm-to-table dishes at Fortify Kitchen & Bar, or casual bites at Universal Joint.
Beyond the town’s charm, Clayton is a gateway to outdoor adventures. Just a short drive away, Lake Rabun invites visitors to boat, swim, and fish, while Black Rock Lake offers peaceful fishing spots with scenic mountain views. Hikers can explore Tallulah Gorge State Park with its stunning waterfalls or enjoy the tranquil Bartram Trail.
Clayton’s proximity to Highlands, NC, adds cultural experiences, including art galleries and upscale shopping. Wine lovers can visit nearby Tiger Mountain Vineyards or Stonewall Creek Vineyards, while Moonrise Distillery offers craft spirits tastings. For a thrill, white-water rafting on the Chattooga River promises excitement for adventurers.
For a laid-back experience, explore the Clayton Farmers Market for local produce and artisanal goods, or visit nearby flea markets and antique shops. Whether you’re hiking, shopping, or enjoying local flavors, Clayton is the perfect mountain escape, blending Southern hospitality, natural beauty, and fun.

What makes this property unique

What sold the Dusenberry's on this home was the building itself. Designed by modernist architect Jim Fox, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, the home embodies Wright's organic architecture philosophy, blending seamlessly with its natural surroundings to capture the valley views. Featuring expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding glass doors, cathedral ceilings, clerestory windows and horizontal lines, the architecture echo Wright’s style, mimicking the valley’s flat landscape and grounding the home in its environment.
