Wow! This place was absolutely fantastic and I would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for a family of four and has some hidden gems. The pull out couch was excellent and one of the best pull out couches I have ever slept on...try it and tell me I'm wrong. Lots of extras included like stand up paddleboards and other water toys.

We had an incredible week visiting the Murray Cove Cottage. The home was very welcoming with a beautiful view of the lake.

Lake house dream

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.

Dear Jan, Thank you for such a generous review! We tried to make The Cottage the place that we would want to stay and return to often. The weather is warming up now and we only have a few days left in July and August that folks will have to contact us about to rent. People are already asking about October which is a great time to be at the lake and November is leaf season. We would love to have you back again in all seasons. Sincerely, Laura and Matt

Peaceful

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.

Perfect Family 50th Bday

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.

About the host

Hosted by Laura and Matt Freeman

Host profile image
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.
