We stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and had the most magical time. The house is very spacious with plenty of room for all 9 of us. It is within walking distance of a great restaurant with a lively bar. Kitchen is extremely well stocked and had everything we needed to prepare our holiday meal. The open green space was perfect for a family kickball game.
My family and I had a wonderful time staying at this lakehouse! The house has plenty of space inside and out and is quite comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. The house has some fantastic photos and memorabilia from when Camp Cherokee was on the premises. I’d recommend this house to a friend.
Very nice home. Access to the lake is a bit challenging for elderly guests but was doable. Really enjoyed our stay!
We have been staying on Lake Burton for 20 years. A couple of years ago, we discovered this magnificent property. We’ve stayed at several different rentals, but this one tops them all. The house itself is uniquely beautiful in the style of a great lodge. The furnishings are gorgeous, and all appliances are the top of the line. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfy, and the primary bathroom even has a claw-foot soaking tub! The surrounding property consists of an amazing forest of trees and various flora with several hiking trails. It is very private . The boat house easily accommodated our sport boat and two jet skis. We really enjoyed swimming off the dock. The owner is one of the nicest people and eager to see that his guests have a great time! We now measure time by counting the days until our next visit! Don’t miss out on this gem!
This is the greatest place and we will absolutely return!! The host is incredibly helpful and responsive and we completely loved our time!
We have stayed here in the past and again enjoyed our stay. Mr. Bell is always attentive to any needs and it is hard to go wrong with this large rustic place. We spent most of our time on Lake Burton. It is so nice to have such a quiet place for the kids to swim. We will definitely be back! This is the first year it didn’t rain the entire week which was so nice.
We had a great time together! There were four kids ages 2-6 and there were lots of games, toys for them. Plenty of space for the ten of us to spread out. Screened in porches to enjoy the outdoors while it rained. We enjoyed the meadow playing kickball and baseball and enjoyed exploring the area. Would love to go back!
The only thing that I would change would be to put some new TVs in the house that work. And the internet is sub-par. Otherwise, the charm was very well enjoyed. It felt like staying at a friend's house for the weekend. I would not hesitate to stay at this place again.
Great for our family.
When our original cabin was canceled at the last minute due to water issues, we found Jim's cabin. I have to admit sometimes plan B turns out to be much better than our first choice. Everyone loved it! Thanks for the great memories.
This place was really fun! The family had a great time and there was plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. The kitchen was amazing and has anything you would ever need for a fancy high end meal prep. The host Jim was super nice and fast to respond to any questions we had. We will be back for sure.
Jim is very good at communication, and the house was well stocked. We had such an enjoyable week. The no-wake zone area on the lake is great for paddle boarding or canoeing! Morning coffee on the screened porch was one of our favorite things.
We had such a great time at this unique property! The house, the surrounding woods, the lakefront… even more than we had hoped for. The amazing house was very clean and comfortable, the chef’s kitchen well equipped with top-of-the-line products. The dock and boathouse were perfect for our boat and jet skis, and we enjoyed swimming from the dock. A great place, too, for our dogs who also enjoyed swimming and exploring the many beautiful trails. A very interesting, historical property! Can’t wait to return!
Jim was a great host and handled everything we needed. The property was an amazing historical boys camp started in the 20’s and the old buildings are still around. The main house has lots of character and history. Our teenagers stayed in the second building and had their own space. The lake was great and we had a blast.
LOVED this place! The house is very homey and well kept, stocked with everyday needs, clean and super comfy. Everyone enjoyed discovering the history and nature around the house and the property. There’s a restaurant in walking distance if you want to take a stroll for some good food or a drink or both! The area of the lake was perfect for the kids to canoe and kayak on and feel safe and the boat house/dock provided the perfect spot for having a day at the lake. The owner was quick to respond and we 100% recommend this place to all who want to experience a beautiful piece of Lake Burton!!
