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.

"We had a wonderful stay, looking forward to doing it again. "

"This small but clean and comfortable ranch house also has wonderful views of Lake Hartwell."

"We had a lovely stay here with my small family. My two boys and hubby and I all took turns kayaking around the safe little cove by the house. It was very quiet, hardly heard any neighbors, and very peaceful. We used the fire pit to make hot dogs and smores several of the evenings. Our family also used the foosball and ping pong tables. We would definitely stay here again! "

10/10 Excellent

"This property was absolutely gorgeous!! We enjoyed swimming off of the dock and actually rented a jet ski and tube which the kids loved. The property was clean and well equipped for a family of four (9 & 15). Pat and Mary were very welcoming and accommodated a last minute additional day. We saw deer every morning while sipping coffee on the upper dock. There is a dollar general a couple of miles away for any must haves. We really have no complaints. Thanks Pat and Mary.The Bethea FamilyRusty, Lorrie, Price, and Eden(who also loved the cats)"

Lake Hartwell Rental w/Dock

10/10 Excellent

"This place is in the perfect spot. Not far from the interstate. The cove was quiet. The water was clear. The house was shaded with TONS of outdoor space. The owners were super nice and helpful going above and beyond. The place is small. Perfect for a couple or a family with small or few kids. The only thing that was noticeable was the water pressure was really low. It was hard to shower. It was stated it needed to be low due to the piles installed. Other than that perfect stay. "
