Amazing house! Very warm and inviting decor. My husband and I had a lovely stay. Was cold and rainy but had plenty of books and games to keep us occupied. Is in a gorgeous neighborhood. Even met the owners passing by! They were so sweet! Would be so lucky to stay again.
Wonderful few days. Extremely close to boat ramp and that saved a lot of time. House was quiet and cozy. October presented a time where lake was quite from traffic both on and off water which made for a peaceful fall break. Will most definitely keep this one on list to book again.
This is the most wonderful lake front cottage. We had everything we needed and wanted in this perfectly appointed space. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. Our vacation was great! We will definitely be back.
A great escape from the city with a Great Lake view!
This is our third time here and we will be back again. Thanks for another great stay!

Beautiful view of the lake!
Not only is this cottage welcoming and cozy, but you have every opportunity to view the beauty of lake Burton! Wonderful place to bring your family or just get away for a weekend.
Beautiful home in an amazing location, stocked with everything you need for a small group getaway- fire pit, two grills, huge deck covering the boathouse, a quick drive from the marina or great hiking.
My family of 5 (kids ages 12, 10 & 8) just returned from several days on Lake Burton. The Freeman's cottage was perfect for our family. Very well equipped with everything we needed. We ate most meals on the boathouse! We used the paddle boards every day, and enjoyed playing games on the cozy front porch. This was our 7th summer staying on Lake Burton, and although first time staying in this cottage, it will not be our last!

Heaven on the Lake!
Endless fun! We love this house and property. The charm and the convenience on beautiful Lake Burton made the very best weekend! We cannot wait to return.
Our family had an amazing time at the lake, celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday. Everything at the property was on point so that we could completely relax, even down to the utensils in the kitchen, which allowed us to take turns cooking meals for her.

The Cottage is absolutely fabulous! We can not wait to visit again. It’s warm, inviting, comfortable and is a perfect place to stay on Lake Burton. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful cottage with us!
The day we booked, I got a welcome from our owners and felt immediately welcomed.
The cottage is beautifully decorated incredibly well kept and stocked.
My two greatest memories are the first night, making dinner in the kitchen and watching my husband on the huge deck grilling while my son was fishing on the dock & and both times our cousins came to visit us from across the lake from their house!
We did just the right amount of relaxing, eating, drinking tubing, swimming, and boating that I could’ve packed into three nights!
We definitely want to come stay again as soon as possible and are so happy to be able to have another place to escape to with family nearby.

Fantastic
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Freeman Cottage. Not only is the home beautifully decorated and maintained, Laura and Matt made sure everything about our stay was easy and relaxing. The lake front area was perfect for adults, our teenagers and younger cousins who visited during the day. The only regret we have is not staying longer!

A relaxing getaway!
What a gorgeous vacation home you have! Everything is new and beautifully furnished and decorated. We loved the breathtaking view from just about anywhere in the house. The kids enjoyed swimming at the dock and the sunsets of the upper deck. I can't wait to come back soon. Thank you for your hospitality.

GREAT!
My husband and I enjoyed a lovely view, a clean and uncluttered cottage that was extremely well decorated, as well as hikes to waterfalls and a trip to Fred Hamilton Garden. This last was an informal garden filled with blooming rhododendrons and dogwoods. It was a perfect vacation.

Great Lake Burton Rental
We love this Lake Burton Cottage. We have rented from the Freeman’s 3 times. Perfect for our family. Outdoor shower and bunk beds are an added bonus. The Freeman’s are the best to rent from. See you soon! The Goodsells

About the host
Hosted by Laura and Matt Freeman
Matt and Laura Freeman have been coming to Lake Burton all of our lives. Natives of Atlanta and Spartanburg we love Lake Burton and are excited to be sharing it with you. We bought Murray Cove Cottage and spent a year totally refurbishing it with all new plumbing, wiring, a/c and appliances. We love sharing this beautiful part of North Georgia , which we think is like Heaven, with future friends. We hope you love it here as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
Murray Cove Cottage is the perfect size for one or two families to share. Being located on the north side of Murray Cove ensures that you get sun on the dock all day and the trees keep the house shaded! It is only fifteen minutes from Clayton, GA since it is on the east side of the lake and near Bridge Creek Road. The house has amazing views from the hill across the street from the lake. It is nestled on a flat lot with a yard complete with chairs and a fire pit.
What makes this property unique
The Cottage has easy access with a ramp that leads to a set of french doors. The swim dock with it's umbrella and lounge chairs feels like you have your own private beach. The steps that go down into the water from the swim dock makes it easy to jump into the lake and get out. There are several places to tie up boats for people that want to bring up their boats and put them in at the boat ramp just down the road.
