See our to die for views of the lake and of mountains in three states. Pink sunsets melting behind the mountains are magnificent, so pretty that a couple recently had their wedding on the dock at sunset! Perched on a peninsula in the main part of the lake (big water!), you can watch your children and friends tubing and skiing right in front of you. The dock is large enough for your boat or a rental boat to dock during your stay.
Our exciting new addition and renovation to the lake house has made our place inside as much fun as it is outside. This is what you will see:
Stunning all wood floors, walls, and vaulted ceilings crafted with hickory, red oak, black walnut and pine. Penthouse master bedroom with its private deck overlooking the lake activity, a king size canopy bed (with a pillow top mattress), and a steam shower and whirlpool tub in the Tuscan master bathroom. State of the art kitchen with the newest stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, with roomy dining for 12 or more. Country French bedroom with hand painted rustic furniture, high ceiling, and its own bathroom. HDTV on DirectTV for spectacular TV watching.
A large upstairs bedroom has a king size bed with a pillow top mattress, a full bathroom, a spectacular view the minute you wake up, and a beautiful stained glass window shining its bright colors into your room.
Downstairs is a perfect place for kids to play games and watch their own large screen TV. Filled with Native American artifacts it is often visited by adults as well. The kids dorm has a bunk bed and a pillow top twin bed.
On our lot we have preserved and renovated one of the original cottages built after the Burton Dam was finished in the early 1930s. Used as a guest cottage, it still has a working hand stacked stone fireplace and antique furniture in the bedroom which has a double bed and a bathroom with an old fashioned tub. Including a full kitchen, the cottage has been lovingly decorated to keep its charm and cozy feeling.
A favorite place to relax is the wrap around porch with its hand made cypress rocking chairs and large lounge chairs for complete comfort while you read or snooze. Snoozing is also allowed in the hammock swinging next to the lake.

We loved your house and the views are so amazing. Thank you so much for your hospitality. We hope to rent again this summer. Kudos to you for buying the property with the best of all lake views (Bought in May of 1976.) So far your package of information and communications have been the most professional and welcoming of any of our rentals. It is very much appreciated! P.S. I think your maid did a great job. The house was spotless when we arrived.

Thank you for the use of your lake home. We had the most wonderful time. We had 7 children from the ages of 10 to 4 months. They had the best time ever. We went on walks every day and they even climbed up a mountain one day and found a small cave. They were so excited. They went fishing every day, had a great time. The adults had a great time also. Thanks again for helping to make our thanksgiving special.

This year will be my 53rd time to go to Lake Burton for our family reunion. Can't believe it has been that long. My whole family enjoys your place and look forward to it every year! (The Harwells have been using the Bond's place for their reunion the past few years).
