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 !

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!

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.

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!

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!

Another stay at the relaxing, peaceful Burton Lake Escape

This was our second stay at the Burton Lake Escape house and we had another fabulous stay! We love the location (in between marinas and close to the Farmhouse Market and the recycling center), the screened in porch, the pet area is great for our golden, and the big TV is awesome for fun nights. Since our stay was at the end of the summer, the kitchen was well stocked with spices, coffee filters...thanks previous renters! I am thankful for the supply of dishwasher pods, clothes washer pods and trash bags. The house comes equipped with everything you need. We also enjoyed the kayak and spent most of our days on the dock and in the swing. It's a lovely setting. Will definitely come back and would recommend to everyone.
