Burial site of Tyrus (Ty) Raymond Cobb in his home town of Royston, Georgia. Ty Cobb is widely regarded as one of, if not the best, baseball player of all time.

Nicknamed The Georgia Peach, Cobb was an American Major League Baseball outfielder. He was born in rural Narrows, Georgia. Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as the team's player-manager, and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1936 Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes (98.2%); no other player received a higher percentage of votes until 1992. In 1999, editors at the Sporting News ranked Ty Cobb 3rd on their list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players".

Cobb is widely credited with setting 90 MLB records during his career. He still holds several records as of the end of the 2016 season, including the highest career batting average .367 and most career batting titles with 12. He retained many other records for almost a half century or more, including most career hits until 1985 with 4,191, most career runs with 2,246 until 2001, most career games played (3,035) and at bats (11,434) until 1974, and the modern record for most career stolen bases (892) until 1977. He still holds the career record for stealing home (54 times) and for stealing second base, third base, and home in succession (5 times), and as the youngest player ever to compile 4,000 hits and score 2,000 runs. Cobb ranks fifth all-time in number of games played and committed 271 errors, the most by any American League (AL) outfielder.

Samuel Elbert Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable "

Cozy Pet Friendly Cottage, 2 story Deep Water Dock - bring your boat!

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our time at this home. Although the house is small, it is very clean and comfortable. They have thought of everything, including plenty of hooks to dry towels or bathing suits, a nice welcome book with any information you may need, and a very well equipped kitchen. The best part was the outside space and dock. Our boys (and us!) enjoyed jumping from the second story of the dock, and we never could make it to the bottom to touch! No grass or mud kicking your feet is a plus! The stairs into the water were easy and comfortable, compared to a typical ladder that can hurt your feet. The walk up and down the stairs definitely had us breathing heavily, but not enough to stop us from enjoying it. The shade covers the dock in the evening and the weather couldn’t have been better. We went tubing in Helen, about an hour away. Also, went north about 1 hour and 45 minutes to a rock slide, in Brevard NC! It’s the perfect location to explore mountains and the lake alike. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our stay exceeded expectations. Highly recommend!"

Lakefront Cabin at Lake Hartwell

"Very beautiful property the lawn was very clean and tidy. easy access to the lake. The location isn’t far off from the downtown area which was very neat. There is also a small stand that sells eggs, honey, etc as soon as you turn on to tom Cobb all local and fresh. The trip all together was perfect and 10/10 would recommend staying here!! Ps do watch for deer/wildlife my sister in law hit one maybe a mile from property. "

10/10 Excellent

"Our 2nd time at the cabin and it did not disappoint! You did a phenomenal job with the downstairs! We were floored when we saw it. We enjoyed 2 birthdays while we were there and had a blast! Also had a great time on the lake fishing and swimming and just floating around! Our grandkids each caught a fish and were so excited which made it all the more worthwhile! The kids loved using the kayaks and paddled their way around the area. Perfect relaxing overdue vacation! Easy access to the lake and the surrounding area. Six Flags just under 2 hours! Had a great time in Georgia!Thanks!"
