Wow! This place was absolutely fantastic and I would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for a family of four and has some hidden gems. The pull out couch was excellent and one of the best pull out couches I have ever slept on...try it and tell me I'm wrong. Lots of extras included like stand up paddleboards and other water toys.

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.
