Nature's Answer to Social Distancing

This is Social Distancing at its finest! Leave the stress of today's world behind and relax in the seclusion of Nature's beauty at Lake Burton. Come fall in love with our charming lakeside cottage located on Lake Burton’s beautiful Moccasin Cove. The home offers a peaceful, cool retreat from the heat in the summer, and in the fall the surrounding mountains will blush with vibrant autumn hues of red, yellow, orange and green. This recently renovated home right at the water's edge features a two story, three bedroom plus loft, two bath floor plan with incredible views of the lake and mountains.

Enter into the great room with fully equipped kitchen, and dining area for eight. The cozy den with stacked stone fireplace is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book during the cooler seasons. The main level master bedroom features one California KIng-sized bed with ensuite full bath, and a fun sleeping loft for the kids. Downstairs, find two bedrooms one with queen bed, and one with three twin beds + trundle, sharing a full bath.

White washed wood walls and hardwood floors create a warm feel in our cozy cottage. Amenities include: Central A/C and heat, ceiling fans, satellite TV, wireless internet, DVD and Bluetooth Surround Sound System, dishwasher, microwave, washer, dryer and gas grill.

Enjoy a cup of coffee on the upper deck or lower deck and witness the morning beauty as fog hangs over still lake waters and the early sun kisses the mountains. Early morning is also the perfect time to ski for the more adventurous! Enjoy a private swim dock and boathouse enticingly only steps away. Bring your own boat or rent one from nearby LaPrade's Marina. Enjoy using our kayaks if you prefer the more quiet paddle.

And, if you want to seek adventures away from the lake, there are plenty of opportunities in Rabun County! Hike a portion of the Appalachian trail only a few miles away or for a more leisurely stroll, hike up to Hemlock Falls just down the street. Explore one of three beautiful state parks located in Rabun including: Moccasin Creek, Black Rock and Tallulah Gorge! Escape into the wild and scenic Chattooga River basin and enjoy white-water rafting or kayaking. Stop through Downtown Clayton, GA and enjoy some wonderful boutiques and shops including: Cage Free, Reeves Hardware and Main Street Gallery. Once you've worked up an appetite, be sure to visit Fortify Kitchen & Bar or the Universal Joint located on Clayton's main street. If you want to dine closer in to your home away from home, check out By Hand Pizza by Chef Tyler Williams or LaPrade's Chophouse.
Then, as twilight falls upon the Blue Ridge, be dazzled by the night sky. Fall asleep to the sounds of the mountains.

Once your adventures near and far draw to a close each day, sit out and enjoy amazing sunsets, skies blanketed with stars and swim in the light of the full moon's glow. Welcome to paradise! You may never want to leave!!

GORGEOUS VIEW
We loved our stay at Rusty's place. He was such a great host and awesome to work with. The house has gorgeous views. There is a ladder off the deck if you want to bring your floats or swim. You also can just sit upstairs or downstairs at the lake and enjoy the view. Loved coffee in the morning overlooking the lake. GREAT lake access. It is also very convenient to LaPrade's marina which is fabulous for dinner. We will be back!

Perfect location
Loved the layout & location of this house! It was perfect! However, I don’t think it had been cleaned in a very long time. I would stay again but request it to be cleaned well before I got there.

Cute Lake Cabin w/ amazing water access!
Great property for a little summer getaway! Directly on the lake, it had incredible views and was so fun/easy for our group (age range 8mo-70yrs) to enjoy the outdoors and jump in the lake whenever it called! Rusty, the owner, was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the stay. The cabin is cute and had what we needed for a vacation home. The house itself had a little more age than I expected from the listing and photos. For example, some of the furniture was due for an upgrade (seats and futon had some yucky staining) and I think the whole place could use a deep clean (quite a few cobwebs and lots of dust under the couch). The downstairs open space is also a bit underutilized right now - there is nothing other than a futon there. Would have been nice to be able to use that space for games, reading, etc. All that said, the outdoor decks are fantastic! Firepit for s'mores, grill, etc and owner was kind enough to let us use all the toys in the boathouse - kayaking, paddleboarding, etc. All in all, we had an amazing time but would recommend a deep cleaning and maybe a couple select upgrades to the furnishings. Thanks for a great stay!
