Creekside Cabin on Beautiful Lake Burton - see recent updates!

Virtual tour and updated photos coming soon!

Welcome to Creekside Cabin—your cozy lakefront retreat on water of beautiful Lake Burton in Northeast Georgia. Just 14 miles (about 15 minutes) west of downtown Clayton and 25 minutes from Helen, this peaceful cabin is the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and spend time with family and friends.

Nestled in a quiet cove, the cabin offers added privacy and calm—ideal for swimming, kayaking or simply unwinding on the dock without the noise of heavy boat traffic.

We’ve recently made several exciting updates, including a brand-new oven and dishwasher installed within the last year. The kitchen is well-equipped for all your cooking needs, whether you're making a quick breakfast or preparing a family dinner.

One of the highlights of this home is the incredible outdoor space. You’ll find a private swim dock and boathouse, perfect for lake days filled with swimming, sunning, and scenic views. Upstairs, the boathouse features a prep area, grill, and outdoor dining table—an ideal setup for a sunset dinner overlooking the lake. In the evenings, gather around the outdoor fireplace for s’mores, conversation, or a peaceful night under the stars.

Inside, the cabin includes a combined living and dining area and two full bathrooms with showers. We provide a limited supply of essentials like shampoo, conditioner, toilet paper, and hand soap to get you started (2 trash bags, 2 dish washing pods, 2 rolls of toilet paper per bathroom, and 1 roll of paper towels). The living space includes a TV where you can enjoy a movie or game night with a view of the water.

Please note: PETS are NOT allowed indoors or outdoors. See our pet policy for details.

There are two nearby marinas that rent boats, and a public boat ramp is located just 1/4 mile from the property - right down the road. The cabin comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests—ideal for families, friend groups, or anyone looking to unwind by the water.

Explore the charming restaurants, boutiques, and grocery stores in downtown Clayton, or take a short drive to nearby wineries and award-winning farm-to-table restaurants—all within 15 minutes. Rabun County is known as the Farm-to-Table Capital of North Georgia for a reason!

Outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, fishing, and tubing are all easily accessible, and the Tiger Drive-In Theater is just 15 minutes away for a fun night out.
