About this property

Escape to Burton Lake Escape. Enjoy beautful lake and mountain views while sitting on our screen in porch sipping a cool ice tea or glass of wine. Build a romantic, roaring fire in the large stone fireplace while watching a movie on the big screen TV. Prepare large family dinners while the kids swim in the lake. Picnic on the dock, float in the cool clean water of Lake Burton or take slow, easy rides around the Lake in a pontoon boat rental which you can park right at your own private dock! Enjoy a game of ping pong, cornhole or roast marshmallows at the inviting lakeside firepit as the ducks float by. Whatever you choose to do, come, relax and enjoy your stay at Burton Lake Escape.

Lake Burton Escape THE Perfect Getaway

Rarely in our travels have we found such a well stocked, well planned and executed vacation rental! The experience is built around a gigantic enclosed porch that offers a stunning view of Lake Burton's beauty! Beneath the porch, lies a well manicured lot offering hammocks, swings, fire pit and an easy walk down to your private dock and boathouse. The included canoe and kayaks are easily launched and open up easy access for getting on the water.Back at the house, the master bedroom opens onto the porch allowing the wonderful view 24/7. The downstairs mini master has it's own view and easy access to the outside activities. i.e. ping pong, grilling and corn hole.Perhaps the greatest surprise was the degree to which every subtle detail had been taken care of. For example, we had full DISH service offering Internet a full array of programming and music channels. As compared to the more common practice of giving you internet access and requiring you stream your own content. There was also a working landline with contact numbers for local hospital, vet clinic and emergency contacts.Suffice to say, we were very pleased with our long weekend stay and look forward to coming back in the near future....!P.S. Our golden retriever, Lizzie gave it 5 paws !

Nice Family Getaway

We had a lovely stay and hope to return! The house came with everything you needed. Our favorite part was the view from the large screen porch. We enjoyed coffee, meals, and happy hour from there daily. My only complaint would be that there is no trash service, so you have to take everything with you, but I understand that its hard to get trash service up there and the owner suggested a few close by spots to dispose of. Overall we had a fantastic stay with our family! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Beautiful lake escape

Burton Lake Escape is such a beautiful and peaceful home. Its location on the lake is perfect. The cove had very little boat traffic which made it perfect for kayaking and using the canoe. Our 9, 16, and 18 year old kids caught several different types of fish right off the dock. We loved all the outdoor games provided as well as a well stocked game cabinet inside. We had everything we needed right there at the house. There was no reason for us to leave but if we needed to, Clayton was a short 25 minute drive away. We had an amazing stay at this house and would love to visit again.

Family Vacation

This is our second stay at this lovely property. The easy access to the water is great for littles and seniors. Canoe and kayaks are provided and we enjoyed paddling around the lake. The screened in porch was an awesome place to gather for conversation and food. Kitchen is well stocked and the grill is charcoal, which I prefer. Marti was great at offering suggestions for activities and restaurants. We hope to return to Lake Burton Escape next year!

This is what you are looking for . . .

Are you looking to relax? See the sights? Enjoy nature? Be comfortable? If so, do I have the place for you! Lake Burton Escapes is a wonderful escape from the daily grind. Whether you want to drink coffee on the back porch as the sun rises or enjoy an adult beverage on the back porch as the sunsets, this cabin has it all. Spacious, cozy, warm, open, and absolutely inviting. Whether you want to play table tennis, go kayaking, play a game, read a book, or use very good internet, you have a wide choice of options at the cabin. You can get away from everything in only about 20 minutes, but still have access to good food in Clayton and also be close to adventures in Helen, Clayton, Hiawasee, and North Carolina. And to top it off, the hosts are attentive (checked on us when we arrived) and hospitable (everything we needed was at the cabin). I could not recommend Lake Burton Escapes more!

Most wonderful vacation home

We love this home and location and have returned several times for family vacations. The host is very cordial, friendly, and helpful and has made her lake home so comfortable and inviting as well as beautiful that you will not want to leave. She also makes sure that basic supplies are available, including cooking supplies, condiments, bath accessories, and paper goods, and provides beach towels, rafts and lake toys, and even wood for the fire pit. I have no hesitation recommending it highly.

WOW. Amazing!

We ADORE this home. It's big, but cozy. Everything you could think of needing or wanting is there from a ping pong table to kayaks and canoes, and games. The well-stocked spices cabinet and great cookware were much appreciated and made us want to stay in all the time! The owner is SUPER nice and accommodating. Really, everything about her and the place is welcoming and warm. It's a gem and I will definitely be looking for future opportunities to stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Marti Schwab

Our family first started going to Lake Burton in the early 70s and rented a rustic cabin at Cherokee Landing camp. We loved it so much that we eventually bought our own property and have been enjoying the Lake ever since. We would spend our week days in Atlanta and weekends at Lake Burton. We have all grown up now and with that our lives have gotten busier with our children, their sports schedules, etc. So we unfortunately aren't able to get there as much as we would like so that's when we decided to share it with others! Let us share some of our southern hospitality with you and your family.

Why they chose this property

The original cabin that stood on this lot was purchased by my family in 1972. It was a 3 room rustic cabin with a great screened porch. It was tiny but we have so many great memories of our childhood vacations...water skiing, tubing, fishing, playing games, hunting for Indian pottery on the shoreline, etc. We lost the old cabin to a fire approximately 17 years ago, so we rebuilt it bigger to accommodate our growing families and have been making improvements and new memories ever since! It now has a master bedroom on the main floor and open kitchen, dining and living room areas as well as a screened porch running along the entire top floor overlooking the Lake. We love to go up and relax. It is so peaceful...away from the hussle and bussle of Atlanta traffic. Now it is time for you to build some wonderful memories for your own family. Rent today!

What makes this property unique

A very relaxed, casual atmosphere. Tasteful cabin feel. Nice amenities without being too stuffy. Right on Lake at end of cove. Safe for kids.
