@cabbagedad posted:Thanks Cat, can't remember why I passed over on Chatuge but I'll revisit. Any opinion on living in Clayton or that area and having access to Burton?
I don't have much for you except that the last time I was up in that area (to drop my kid off at a great Y camp on Lake Burton) my husband and I had lunch at a cute little cafe in Clayton, and I thought it was a nice little town. I believe I even thought, "This might be a nice place to retire to."
Lake Chatuge is not as pretty as Lake Burton, but we've spent a couple of family vacations in cabins and cottages on Lake Chatuge, and we've always enjoyed it. There is a sleepy little town nearby, on the border with North Carolina (the name escapes me at the moment), but I don't think it has as many "big city" amenities as Clayton does.
