Beautiful Lake Burton Compound - Pet Friendly

This was a family vacation for us. We have multiple children in different age ranges. They all enjoyed All that the cabin and land in Lake had to provide. We rented a boat from a local marina without any problem. We have plenty of space and plenty of fun!

Well appointed house. Easy entry/exit. Nice having access to the lake, even if a shallow part of the lake. Would rent again.

What a classic cottage. Actually part of a camp that was once on the property, the house has all kinds of luxuries that make it a great place to stay. Great kitchen and awesome master bath. The beds are on the smaller side. Just know this going in. The two singles in the upstairs room are more like cots. Great screened porches. Lake view is down the hill so this is not the place to stay if you want to be right on the water...it is a stroll to the dock along a path through the woods. Our two small dogs enjoyed the stay as well.

We were at the House on the Hill for 5 nights in June, 2017. This was our first family vacation at the lake - usually going to the beach. The house was spacious and very relaxing. We enjoyed both screen porches throughout the days and late at night. It would have been nice to have more lighting, however, as we had a problem putting together our jigsaw puzzle on the dining room table. One of the lamps was broken in the living room (the owner had told me that prior to our arrival) but no one came and repaired it while we were there. The kitchen was great - very spacious with plenty of cooking supplies. We did need more room in the refrigerator and pantry because there were so many items already in both. That needs a good cleanout. Access to the lake was really good. We rented a pontoon and stayed out in it most of days. The guys did fish from the dock one night. It was too shallow to swim at the dock which was disappointing. Lake Burton was simply beautiful and perfect for tubing which my granddaughters enjoyed. The walk to the lake from the house was pretty steep, so we took the road and one car for those who could not walk it. That was no problem at all. The master bedroom/bath was good, although I have to admit a king size bed would have been nice. The loft bedroom was perfect for 3 of my grandchildren to sleep, but the bedroom in the basement was hard to find and somewhat disappointing. You might want to consider upgrading the bed sizes. It was a special surprise to learn that this house was a part of Camp Cherokee. Both my daughters attended the camp right across the cove from the house. My daughter enjoyed reminiscing about her camping days with her children. We had a great time and would consider renting again. The owner was very professional and attentive.

Great location for our family retreat; plenty of room for 8 adults, but limited for small children. Upstairs only suitable for older children. Loved the kitchen and living room, though wife thought it was too dark. Somewhat cluttered; every surface covered with owners stuff. Good condition appliances. Excellent bathrooms, but upstairs really has no bathroom - must come downstairs. Dock was good for kids fishing, but too shallow and muddy for swimming. There is a good boat rental place just across the cove. Excellent communications responses from owner. Directions hard to follow because signs have changed and we were off road on my GPS. No Verizon cellphone service there, but ATT was OK. Downstairs bedroom good but access is through a dark and scary storage area, not safe for small children. Guest room could use a queen bed; a double is smaller than it use to be.
