This is Social Distancing at its finest! Leave the stress of today's world behind and relax in the seclusion of Nature's beauty at Lake Burton. Come fall in love with our charming lakeside cottage located on Lake Burton’s beautiful Moccasin Cove. The home offers a peaceful, cool retreat from the heat in the summer, and in the fall the surrounding mountains will blush with vibrant autumn hues of red, yellow, orange and green. This recently renovated home right at the water's edge features a two story, three bedroom plus loft, two bath floor plan with incredible views of the lake and mountains.

Enter into the great room with fully equipped kitchen, and dining area for eight. The cozy den with stacked stone fireplace is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book during the cooler seasons. The main level master bedroom features one California KIng-sized bed with ensuite full bath, and a fun sleeping loft for the kids. Downstairs, find two bedrooms one with queen bed, and one with three twin beds + trundle, sharing a full bath.

White washed wood walls and hardwood floors create a warm feel in our cozy cottage. Amenities include: Central A/C and heat, ceiling fans, satellite TV, wireless internet, DVD and Bluetooth Surround Sound System, dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer and gas grill.

Enjoy a cup of coffee on the upper deck or lower deck and witness the morning beauty as fog hangs over still lake waters and the early sun kisses the mountains. Early morning is also the perfect time to ski for the more adventurous! Enjoy a private swim dock and boathouse enticingly only steps away. Bring your own boat or rent one from nearby LaPrade's Marina. Enjoy using our kayaks if you prefer the more quiet paddle.

And, if you want to seek adventures away from the lake, there are plenty of opportunities in Rabun County! Hike a portion of the Appalachian trail only a few miles away or for a more leisurely stroll, hike up to Hemlock Falls just down the street. Explore one of three beautiful state parks located in Rabun including: Moccasin Creek, Black Rock and Tallulah Gorge! Escape into the wild and scenic Chattooga River basin and enjoy white-water rafting or kayaking. Stop through Downtown Clayton, GA and enjoy some wonderful boutiques and shops including: Cage Free, Reeves Hardware and Main Street Gallery. Once you've worked up an appetite, be sure to visit Fortify Kitchen & Bar or the Universal Joint located on Clayton's main street. If you want to dine closer in to your home away from home, check out By Hand Pizza by Chef Tyler Williams or LaPrade's Chophouse.
Then, as twilight falls upon the Blue Ridge, be dazzled by the night sky. Fall asleep to the sounds of the mountains.

Once your adventures near and far draw to a close each day, sit out and enjoy amazing sunsets, skies blanketed with stars and swim in the light of the full moon's glow. Welcome to paradise! You may never want to leave!!

    The lake house was even better than we ever could’ve imagined!!!! The porch was perfect for morning coffee and dinner under the sunset. There was plenty of places for us to choose to sleep and the master suite bed was very comfy. The pictures do not do the view justice. It was a perfect trip for our book club!

    The view of the lake from almost every room was excellent. A family member docked his boat with ease. When not motor boating we enjoyed the available two kayaks and paddle board. There is also a canoe .The boathouse storage room had an abundance of float noodles and inflatable intertubes and a raft. My young nephew (7) and niece (4) had a blast swimming and floating and then sitting on the dock in two available child-size plastic adirondack chairs.Based on a previous review about a skillet with scratches, i brought one. There is an abundance of other good cookware and baking dishes, plates and tableware. My family has many fond memories from our stay at this serene location.

    Great location on the lake. Dock and swimming area was ideal since we brought our boat.

    Here are a few ways to rewrite your description, focusing on different aspects:Option 1: Emphasizing Relaxation and ConvenienceOur stay at the house was absolutely delightful! Nestled in a private lakeside location, it offers abundant water access right in front, perfect for enjoying the lake and even fishing. You're just a short 30-minute drive to Clayton, Georgia, making it easy to explore.The property boasts plenty of parking and a seamless entry directly into the open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining area on the first floor. This level also features the main bedroom and a spacious wrap-around outdoor porch. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and another porch with a grill and dining area overlooking the lake. A quick stroll down leads to the dock with a boat slip, and kayaks are available for leisurely paddles.A standout feature is the first floor's accessibility, making it ideal for seniors or guests with mobility needs. Plus, air conditioners in every room ensure comfort regardless of the weather. We truly enjoyed every moment!

    We recently enjoyed a long weekend at this property. The views are great, the dock access is easy and just the overall experience was superb! Rented a pontoon boat at nearby LaPrades Marina and enjoyed a terrific meal there as well. We had a small group of 3 adults, but the cottage can easily accomodate many more, especially kids. Rusty is a great host and we'd definitely stay again if the opportunity arises!

    First time staying at this property and the views and location on the lake were the best! Loved all of the water amenities for kids (jumping/fishing off the dock, kayaks, paddle board, boat slip). The views from the main floor were incredible. Would definitely stay again.

    Our family of 4 enjoyed the week- joined by 2 of my son’s friends for 2 days. Love the layout of the house with them downstairs and us up. Great location near LaPrades and Clayton and more. Love the lake toys & we rented a boat. Lake Burton is a joy. Communication was fantastic. Thank you!more.

    I cannot emphasize enough how beautiful this location is. You can see the lake from every room. Absolutely breathtaking! It’s a quaint cottage that was a comfortable, cozy spot for my husband and I to get away from it all and relax.
