Enjoy Lake Burton at its greatest now with year 'round water. Yes, Lake Burton is full and will be throughout 2009!! Enjoy this original '50's cottage and boathouse that have been completely renovated during the 2005-06 seasons. Sit on the boathouse or lounge in the hammock and watch the world go by. Dive off the boathouse or take a relaxing swim beside the swim dock. Climb into a pair (2) of kayaks (no additional charge) and explore the "nooks & crannies" of this magnificent clear water lake---this home has has it all.
The house will sleep six comfortably and add two more on an queen size Aero bed provided. From the Master Bedroom take your morning coffee across the level 20 foot catwalk and watch the lake come to life from the boathouse sun deck. While there, enjoy your MP3 music through a four speaker Bose sound system. This is a recommended way to start your day on Lake Burton.
While the adults are enjoying the sun porch with lake views, the children can either swim off the dock, or watch TV or DVD's in the den---the swim dock has a "special concrete walk down floor" that is a gradual entrance into the lake (perfect for toddlers.) The kitchen is fully equipped, you can cook and look at the lake here too. If you like to grill, use the two (2) Weber charcoal & the gas grill on the boathouse. This boathouse sun deck offers over 1200 square feet (one of the largest on Lake Burton)----perfect for entertaining, dining, sunning, etc. It comes fully equipped with refrigerator, ice maker, 30 feet of custom cabinets, and special twi-light custom lighting. At the end of the day, enjoy your own private outdoor hot & cold water shower (equipped with its own private changing area.) No need to leave the lake for indoor "primping" -- this is lake burton!
The house is at the end of a two house private driveway (no road noise or dust at this location.) Additionally, it offers a generous amount of parking (7+ vehicles) and only 20 feet from the water! Bring your power boats and jet skis--the boathouse will stow (1) one boat under cover and the docks will tie-off many additional boats water toys. This home is ready for fun, frolic, & lots of relaxation. Most of all, enjoy the new lifetime memories your family & friends will have--just like the last 50 years for its owners.

Secret Santa Special!!! $895 "Shangri-La" on Lake Burton
Year Purchased: 1958
Why the Owner Chose Lake Burton
We are so fortunate because we didn't have to buy our vacation home -- this is where Steph and I spent summers as children growing up. We were both teenagers and met on the lake. Steph's parents had a summer cabin on one end of Lake Burton -- my parents had one on the other end. We sorta met in the middle.
The Unique Benefits at this Lake House
There are many unique features about this lake cabin. First of all, this was one of the early cabins built on Lake Burton. Therefore, the location and size of the lot are nearly perfect--500 feet of lake front, private cove, and lots of level parking. The house and boat house were completely remodeled 4 years ago. Now you can enjoy the cozy cabin -- with all the ammenities for your comfort!

Dear David, we had a wonderful stay at your Lake Burton home. Even though Friday was a rain out day--we stayed dry and admired the fall colors while watching the rain and reading at the house. The rest of the weekend was just fabulous. We absolutely loved your home, the views, the boat house, and of course -- the lake and the spectacular fall colors. It was obvious you take excellent care of your home and the guests that rent it. Lynn & I have rented many vacation homes over the last 10 years and I must say yours is at the top of the list! Everything we needed was in place waiting for us and the home was even better than we expected (and we had high hopes). Your kind extras, immediate availability to answer questions, flexibility on arrival & departure times -- really put the experience over the top! Thank you for your attention to detail and perfectly prepared home for our weekend. Kindest Regards, Tom & Lynn Spangler

Dear David & Steph, The cabin FAR exceeded our expectations! It's hard to convey in photographs how close to the water the cabin actually is. The amenities you provided were above & beyond. Our time was spent either on the boathouse dock or relaxing in the sunroom looking out on the lake. It was an easy 15-20 minute boat ride to LaPrades. We are definately NOT ready to leave!

What a great time we had!! This was a weekend to remember. You are the best!! We can't wait to return!

David & Steph, we had a wonderful week, it flew by as we knew it would. Your home was just perfect for our family! We hope to be back next year--except for 2 to 3 weeks so we can truly unplug and soak in life at Lake Burton. My son Hudson has become obsessed with catching brim. He must have caught 50+ over the last 7 days--good stuff!! Take care and best of luck in all you do. Melanie & Gordon

It was another magical year, and we had such fun. Sitting on your boathouse and watching the fireworks was one of the best memories I think I'll have for the rest of my life! Thanks again for creating a truly memorable and wonderful vacation. As we told David, because of money, we had to choose between beach, lake, or a Branson vacation this summer. Our children, unanimously, all voted to come back to your house and Lake Burton for our family vacation. We are all crying and sad as we leave today--thanks for the memories. Yours, Pam

As I am sitting on the boat dock, I can not tell you how content my soul is. We have had the most wonderful, restful, joyous week. We are all rested, rejuvinated and facing "the rat race" again will not be so bad. Thank you both so very much for sharing you beautiful home with us.

This house is very cool! I loved everything about it. The best thing about it is that I got to ride a Kayak. I've never ridden one before. It was really fun. I also liked the big dock that you could jump off of. The fishing was good. I caught about 10 fish. I could have caught more, but my little sister fished the lake down. I will never forget this house.

Once again, we want to thank you for such an amazing, fun-filled, out of this world experience!!! We were very moved by your acts of kindness and thoughtfullness. We also want to thank you for checking up on us when the storm passed by, you make us feel like part of the family. The memories your lovely home has allowed us to create are priceless. Lastly, as we head home to the "real world" - we reminisce on these past few days and look forward with anticipation to our return next year for our 3rd visit. May God Bless you, your family and your homes---especially the lake house!!

Great time over Memorial Day weekend. Incredibly quiet get away weekend in your wonderful home! Lovely kayaking each morning. Even with the occasional rain--we enjoyed every minute of our stay.
