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.

"Lovely cabin in the woods with all the modern comforts. Good place to relax both inside and out. Nice short walk down to the lake view."

"Overall nice property. Only complaints are about the heat and the shower. The heat wasnt on when we checked in (it's winter). The shower also doesnt get hot (would get slightly warmer than tap cold, but thats all despite the sink water being very hot) "

"The property was just as pictured. When we finally got the right code for the key we were set to start our stay. The road was a fun experience to drive each time and unique as far as any I have driven. It was quite except for the rip black walnuts falling from the trees, but was enjoyable for a first time experience. We did not get to use the yard as much as I would have liked but it was set up for a small fire and outdoor fun with some relaxing features. The fence was nice and made it even...

Vintage charm meets modern comfort in this historic 1850s cabin at Lake Hartwell

5/5 Excellent

The Bee's Knees

"We had a great stay at the "Bee & Barb." The house was exactly as described and the pictures do it justice. Yes, it is old house, but it has a lot of charm and character. The deck was particularly impressive. The property owner was very responsive and accommodating. Some minor quibbles: we could not get the TV to work with our kids video game console. We wish there was a bigger dinning table. We could fit everyone, but it was a bit tight especially with all the food spread out. "
