Lake house dream

Amazing house! Very warm and inviting decor. My husband and I had a lovely stay. Was cold and rainy but had plenty of books and games to keep us occupied. Is in a gorgeous neighborhood. Even met the owners passing by! They were so sweet! Would be so lucky to stay again.

Peaceful

Wonderful few days. Extremely close to boat ramp and that saved a lot of time. House was quiet and cozy. October presented a time where lake was quite from traffic both on and off water which made for a peaceful fall break. Will most definitely keep this one on list to book again.

Beautiful cottage in Murray Cove

My family of 5 (kids ages 12, 10 & 8) just returned from several days on Lake Burton. The Freeman's cottage was perfect for our family. Very well equipped with everything we needed. We ate most meals on the boathouse! We used the paddle boards every day, and enjoyed playing games on the cozy front porch. This was our 7th summer staying on Lake Burton, and although first time staying in this cottage, it will not be our last!

Beautiful - Perfect for our family of 3

The day we booked, I got a welcome from our owners and felt immediately welcomed. The cottage is beautifully decorated incredibly well kept and stocked. My two greatest memories are the first night, making dinner in the kitchen and watching my husband on the huge deck grilling while my son was fishing on the dock & and both times our cousins came to visit us from across the lake from their house! We did just the right amount of relaxing, eating, drinking tubing, swimming, and boating that I could’ve packed into three nights! We definitely want to come stay again as soon as possible and are so happy to be able to have another place to escape to with family nearby.

Perfect Family 50th Bday

Our family had an amazing time at the lake, celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday. Everything at the property was on point so that we could completely relax, even down to the utensils in the kitchen, which allowed us to take turns cooking meals for her.

About the host

Hosted by Laura and Matt Freeman

Host profile image
Matt and Laura Freeman have been coming to Lake Burton all of our lives. Natives of Atlanta and Spartanburg we love Lake Burton and are excited to be sharing it with you. We bought Murray Cove Cottage and spent a year totally refurbishing it with all new plumbing, wiring, a/c and appliances.
We love sharing this beautiful part of North Georgia , which we think is like Heaven, with future friends.
We hope you love it here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

Murray Cove Cottage is the perfect size for one or two families to share. Being located on the north side of Murray Cove ensures that you get sun on the dock all day and the trees keep the house shaded! It is only fifteen minutes from Clayton, GA since it is on the east side of the lake and near Bridge Creek Road. The house has amazing views from the hill across the street from the lake. It is nestled on a flat lot with a yard complete with chairs and a fire pit.

What makes this property unique

The Cottage has easy access with a ramp that leads to a set of french doors. The swim dock with it's umbrella and lounge chairs feels like you have your own private beach. The steps that go down into the water from the swim dock makes it easy to jump into the lake and get out. There are several places to tie up boats for people that want to bring up their boats and put them in at the boat ramp just down the road.
