About this property

We’re located on an acre in Rabun County where Timpson Creek meets Lake Burton. We’re just down the street from lake access at Anchorage Boat Dock, and under a mile from the public beach access on nearby Charlie Mountain Road. We’re just off Highway 76 and a short drive to downtown Clayton, GA (6 miles). The Appalachian Trail is just up the road, as well as Waterfall Club Resort and Golf Course. Basically, we’re right smack dab in the middle of much to do in Rabun County. From hiking, waterfall sightseeing, cycling, fishing, boating, skiing, and overall lake-relaxing, we’re at the heart of what northeast Georgia has to offer.

Our home has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The Primary bath has an additional clawfoot tub. The Primary bedroom is quite large with fresh carpet and a very comfortable mattress. There are 4 beds total: 2 King & 2 Full (an additional inflatable mattress and “pack’n’play” are also available). We have a full laundry room and supply closet, a screened-porch, fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and ample room between the fireplace and living area. There’s also a charcoal/kamado grill above the fire pit, nestled along the driveway.

3rd Times a Charm

This was our 3rd annual stay at Timpson Cove Cottage and it never disappoints. The property is stunning (especially in Fall), and the kids love playing in the leaves while my husband and I enjoy reading on the screened in porch. The attention to detail of the provided amenities is unmatched, and we can't wait to book again for next Fall!

Beautiful

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Timpson Cove Cottage! The cottage was beautifully decorated, comfortable, well stocked kitchen and easy to get to. We attended a friend’s wedding while here and the cottage was located close to everything. It’s located near the marina where some friends picked us up on their boat to attend Fridays party. Also, our host, Chad, was easy to get in touch with and super nice. Overall, it was a great stay! Thank you!! go the Fridsys party.

Simply Perfect!

I cannot over state how beautifully curated this property is. The attention to detail is impressive, setting this home above most vacation properties. Our family truly enjoyed staying in as well as going out on the lake (just a hop skip and jump away!). We hope to return again!

Great weekend!

We stayed here the weekend before sending our son to Camp High Harbour. We had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean, spacious and cozy. We had plenty of space for our family of 5 and loved the location. We walked to the marina to rent a boat and walked to the market/ Dive Bar for dinner. We would definitely stay again. The host was very responsive and helpful. We loved it!

The Most Special Cottage

The Timpson Cove Cottage was absolutely perfect! This was a very special trip for me and my partner and we actually got married in the yard of this VRBO. It was a private elopement and we couldn't have loved it more. We will definitely be back!

We felt so welcomed

First of all - we were contacted the evening before check-in that the home was clean and ready and we could check-in early - if we'd like. I've been renting VRBOs for a while now and this has never happened! The owners were so personal and accommodating - you can tell they truly want you to enjoy your stay. As soon as we entered the door we felt welcomed. The furnishings and decor looked so inviting! Just what you'd imagine for a mountain - lake cottage. The furniture was very comfortable inside, but we spent most of our time on the screened in porch. Comfy furniture on the porch for lounging and napping! There's a nice tv in living area - plenty of books for reading and games for family game time. The kitchen was very well equipped. There's a dining table inside and one on the screened-in porch as well for outdoor meals. Great place to enjoy coffee in the mornings! The beds were very comfortable! So comfortable - I checked to see what kind of mattress I was sleeping on (master bedroom)! This cottage offers privacy, but is just a short walk to the lake and just a few minutes drive to Clayton where I enjoying shopping! It's a great location! We'd definitely stay here again.

Super cozy weekend getaway

Beautiful area to be as the leaves are changing! The house was very well decorated and clean which made it easy to relax. It rained most of our time there so no hiking for us. Instead, we fully enjoyed the screened-in porch during the rain. We also got to visit downtown Clayton, about 10-15 away, for some shopping and dining. The only thing I wish it had were blinds on the front door and maybe another curtain covering more of the sliding door, but not a deal breaker by any means! We will definitely rent this place again!

Wonderful stay at 40 Timpson Cove, Lake Burton

We absolutely loved this cabin! The decor is wonderful! I went with 2 friends and we loved the fact that we each had our own room and own bathroom. The screened porch is great and the cabin had everything we needed. Also, kudos to the cleaner - everything was very clean. The owner Chad, was very responsive. We would love to stay here again.

Enjoyed our stay

The 3/3 house was spacious, comfortable and a very clean. With the marina across the street, a boat rental is only steps away. The location also makes it easy to drive to Clayton in about 10 minutes, multiple waterfall hikes are near by and if you are playing golf at the Waterfall Club its only 5 minutes away. This was a great place to relax and recharge and the owners were very accommodating.

Perfect Getaway

We had a big family reunion weekend and this house was the perfect fit. Our house is close to High Harbour, and we had this house as the over flow for our guests - and we are more than thrilled we discovered this! The atmosphere is something all of us were ooing and ahhing upon checking in - it's the cabin cozy feel you crave for during a lake weekend. It was our guests very first time at the lake, this could not have been more perfect! Also... highly suggest calling dibs on the master bedroom, it is STUNNING!

About the host

Hosted by Chad Pelton + Christie Bazemore

Both of us grew up spending our summers on lakes (Christie’s family has had a cabin right here on Lake Burton since the 1950s), and we wanted a home that made us feel like we did when we caught our first fish, when we made our first dive, and when we took our first boat ride. We wanted the smell of a grill, the coolness of the mountain air, the sound of a creek, and we wanted a lake tradition we could share with others.

Why they chose this property

From the get-go, we wanted to provide a lake cabin of old, a place with elements of the past, but obviously modern touches and comforts of the present as well. It’s not a fussy mansion of a house. Rather, it’s a 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage in the woods, within walking distance to boat and jet-ski rentals, as well as fishing gear, groceries, and even the local bar is within a short walk up Hill Camp Lane.

What makes this property unique

300 steps from Lake Burton. Less than a mile from the public beach on Lake Burton. 6 miles from Downtown Clayton, GA. Access to National Forests, waterfalls, hikes, fishing, scenic drives, and all that north GA has to offer.
