This is a really nice cabin! Spacious bedrooms, great views from the house and top of the boathouse deck. There is only one bathroom. The swimming access to the lake is a narrow landing off the back of the boathouse in a shallow cove so you can’t jump in or really swim right off the dock but it’s a short walk/paddle to deeper water. It’s great to be right on the water and the views and proximity to Anchorage Marina, hiking, and Clayton were great!

Absolutely beautiful house on Lake Burton! Walking distance to anchorage marina so easy to get lunch, gorgeous boat house tucked back in a cove (water is cold!) and lovely outdoor space to take the views in!!!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
The reason for the poor review is that while we were staying at this house we never had hot and cold running water at the same time. When we checked in on Friday we discovered late that there was no hot water. Late Saturday afternoon a handyman finally showed up to tell us they need to locate a plumber. At 6:30pm a plumber showed up and was there until 11:30pm and I had to be his active assistant. He was able to finally get the water heater working. However, after he left and I went to shower it was discovered there was no cold water available in the shower so you scalded yourself. I notified the managment company the next morning that we still were not able to shower. They sent the same plumber out abut 5pm on Sunday and he informed us he could not fix the problem. While the house is lovely and I would have given it great scores but since we could not shower at the house the whole weekend and had to go to the local camp ground to get clean I would reconsider the one bathroom situation. This is still under dispute as we await a fair resolution. I had to open a complaint with American Express as the management company thought a 100 credit would be fair. I will update should resolution happen..

Lake lounging

What a great place to kick back and watch kick-offs on a fall football weekend. Who needs a tailgate when you have a lake view, comfortable porches, and a boathouse porch? The living area was spacious and the bedrooms were comfy. Walking distance to a marina with boat rentals, a store, and an ice cream shop!

Little but mighty

With a few attention to details this place would be a 4-5 across the board. Walking distance to marina (food/ive/etc) and at least one restaurant. 20 minutes to town of Clayton for ALL needs. Best lake in Georgia!

Lake Burton

Lake Burton never disappoints!! House was clean and comfortable and we had a great time with our grandkids. A few things that could have been better: - the door was a challenge to open. The digital lock required 10 digit code and it was difficult to open. No wifi was a challenge too because all the streaming services required a sign in - which required me to scan a QR code or input a code to confirm my accounts but I couldn’t sit to no WiFi Very frustrating

Nice and Cozy

This property is in a great location with great views of north Ga Mountains. Although we came during the fall/winter I would love to experience this spot during the summer. The only complaint I have is that the property requested no pets, however while lounging in the sitting area I stepped on something hard. Once I kicked it out of the rug (which that rug was super soft) I realized it was an old dried piece of dog feces. I have a picture for proof. I also found lots of long white and brown dog hair in the rug and in the couch. Overall the property was great and I would love to book again in the future.
