Lake Burton & Mountain View Cabin, Sleeps 8, 3BR/3BA — Clayton GA
Wake up to one of the best views in North Georgia: the hazy blue Appalachian range on one side, the glisten of Lake Burton on the other, both visible from your bed, the porch, or the wrap-around deck. Just a 7-mile drive into Clayton, but it feels like the middle of nowhere in the best way.
Sleeps 8 — 2 bedrooms with queen beds (top level), 1 lower-level bedroom with 2 double futons 3 full bathrooms Wrap-around porch (main level) + upper porch, both with mountain/lake views Full kitchen, fireplace, central heat/air, washer/dryer, WiFi, Wood floors throughout, ceiling fans in every room
This is a working mountain retreat, not a staged photo set — birds at the feeders, flying squirrels at dusk, cicadas to fall asleep to. Mornings bring fog lifting off the lake; evenings bring a sky that goes pink and gold over the ridgeline. Bring binoculars for the hummingbirds and the Appalachian Trail in the distance.
Everything you need is here: full kitchen, three full baths so nobody's waiting in line, games for rainy afternoons, and enough porch seating that the whole group can spread out with a view. Guests keep telling us the same thing: it feels like coming home to a place they've never lived.

I stay in a lot of VRBO houses all over the South East and none of them have ever been perfect, but my own house isn't perfect so I would never hold that against someone that has 100s of people stay in their home. The price is fair, location for what I needed was amazing. The view is spectacular. I would definitely stay their again.
Fantastic location, everything we needed in the cabin and some.
Great, will be staying again.

A nice cabin with good view of the Smokey Mtn range. Good place when you are visiting Gatlinburg, Smokey Mountain National park, Dolly World and all nearby attractions.
If you are looking for a place with a great view, zero neighbors, and close to Helen, then this is a great option. We’ve stayed here twice, and it’s clean, quiet, and convenient to the North GA area.
We had a great time. Beautiful views. Look forward to visiting again.

A beautiful place to relax and explore. Went for mine and my bonus daughters birthday as a loved every minute being up in the trees.
We enjoyed the amazing mountain and lake view. The location is in the middle of great mountain scenery and within an hour of numerous hiking trails and waterfalls. The cabin had everything we needed and the owner was readily available for questions.
