About this property

North GA, Timpson Cove Cottage. Just a few hundred yards to Lake Burton.

We’re located on an acre in Rabun County where Timpson Creek meets Lake Burton. We’re just down the street from lake access at Anchorage Boat Dock, and under a mile from the public beach access on nearby Charlie Mountain Road. We’re just off Highway 76 and a short drive to downtown Clayton, GA (6 miles). The Appalachian Trail is just up the road, as well as Waterfall Club Resort and Golf Course. Basically, we’re right smack dab in the middle of much to do in Rabun County. From hiking, waterfall sightseeing, cycling, fishing, boating, skiing, and overall lake-relaxing, we’re at the heart of what northeast Georgia has to offer.

Our home has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The Primary bath has an additional clawfoot tub. The Primary bedroom is quite large with fresh carpet and a very comfortable mattress. There are 4 beds total: 2 King & 2 Full (an additional inflatable mattress and “pack’n’play” are also available). We have a full laundry room and supply closet, a screened-porch, fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and ample room between the fireplace and living area. There’s also a charcoal/kamado grill above the fire pit, nestled along the driveway.

What a comfy cottage!

Great place to relax, unwind and get into the mountains. I could see this being our “go to” place to get away. So much space to spread out and have a good time with the family.

Great Cabin

We had an awesome time staying at the cabin in Timpson Creek Cove. My wife and son (college age ) were on spring break so we rented this cabin to be close to our favorite trout fishing streams. The cabin was beautiful and my wife loved the decor. It had everything we needed to enjoy our week. I highly recommend it. Sincerely, Chris Gilmore

Perfect Getaway

We had a big family reunion weekend and this house was the perfect fit. Our house is close to High Harbour, and we had this house as the over flow for our guests - and we are more than thrilled we discovered this! The atmosphere is something all of us were ooing and ahhing upon checking in - it's the cabin cozy feel you crave for during a lake weekend. It was our guests very first time at the lake, this could not have been more perfect! Also... highly suggest calling dibs on the master bedroom, it is STUNNING!

Nostalgic, Charming Lake Cottage Meets Modern Comforts

We are Timpson Cove Cottage's newest fans. This charming abode is tucked in the woods, completely private, and a short stroll to the lake. With three bedrooms and three baths, it was perfect for our family of four so the kids (ages 14 and 11) could spread out and have their own space after being crammed on a boat all day. Clean and beautifully decorated, Chad and Christie made us feel welcome and at home - including our dogs. This cottage reminds me of my childhood summers on a small pond in MA but with lots of modern comforts (and a lot closer to home). We stretched out, relaxed, breathed deep, and enjoyed all the details that the owners didn't miss. We will be back.

We felt so welcomed

First of all - we were contacted the evening before check-in that the home was clean and ready and we could check-in early - if we'd like. I've been renting VRBOs for a while now and this has never happened! The owners were so personal and accommodating - you can tell they truly want you to enjoy your stay. As soon as we entered the door we felt welcomed. The furnishings and decor looked so inviting! Just what you'd imagine for a mountain - lake cottage. The furniture was very comfortable inside, but we spent most of our time on the screened in porch. Comfy furniture on the porch for lounging and napping! There's a nice tv in living area - plenty of books for reading and games for family game time. The kitchen was very well equipped. There's a dining table inside and one on the screened-in porch as well for outdoor meals. Great place to enjoy coffee in the mornings! The beds were very comfortable! So comfortable - I checked to see what kind of mattress I was sleeping on (master bedroom)! This cottage offers privacy, but is just a short walk to the lake and just a few minutes drive to Clayton where I enjoying shopping! It's a great location! We'd definitely stay here again.

Easily one of the best rental experiences we’ve ever had! Place is beautiful, so spacious, and perfectly located.. just ten minutes from Clayton and an easy walk to Anchorage! We rented a boat for the day and made our way to the public beach as well which was maybe a five minute drive (if that). The house is so clean, well decorated, and cozy. Our new go to spot! Chad is as an amazing host. So responsive and hospitable. Can’t recommend enough!

3rd Times a Charm

This was our 3rd annual stay at Timpson Cove Cottage and it never disappoints. The property is stunning (especially in Fall), and the kids love playing in the leaves while my husband and I enjoy reading on the screened in porch. The attention to detail of the provided amenities is unmatched, and we can't wait to book again for next Fall!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Timpson Cove Cottage! The cottage was beautifully decorated, comfortable, well stocked kitchen and easy to get to. We attended a friend’s wedding while here and the cottage was located close to everything. It’s located near the marina where some friends picked us up on their boat to attend Fridays party. Also, our host, Chad, was easy to get in touch with and super nice. Overall, it was a great stay! Thank you!! go the Fridsys party.

I cannot over state how beautifully curated this property is. The attention to detail is impressive, setting this home above most vacation properties. Our family truly enjoyed staying in as well as going out on the lake (just a hop skip and jump away!). We hope to return again!

Great weekend!

We stayed here the weekend before sending our son to Camp High Harbour. We had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean, spacious and cozy. We had plenty of space for our family of 5 and loved the location. We walked to the marina to rent a boat and walked to the market/ Dive Bar for dinner. We would definitely stay again. The host was very responsive and helpful. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Chad Pelton + Christie Bazemore

Host profile image
Both of us grew up spending our summers on lakes (Christie’s family has had a cabin right here on Lake Burton since the 1950s), and we wanted a home that made us feel like we did when we caught our first fish, when we made our first dive, and when we took our first boat ride. We wanted the smell of a grill, the coolness of the mountain air, the sound of a creek, and we wanted a lake tradition we could share with others.

Why they chose this property

From the get-go, we wanted to provide a lake cabin of old, a place with elements of the past, but obviously modern touches and comforts of the present as well. It’s not a fussy mansion of a house. Rather, it’s a 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage in the woods, within walking distance to boat and jet-ski rentals, as well as fishing gear, groceries, and even the local bar is within a short walk up Hill Camp Lane.

What makes this property unique

300 steps from Lake Burton. Less than a mile from the public beach on Lake Burton. 6 miles from Downtown Clayton, GA. Access to National Forests, waterfalls, hikes, fishing, scenic drives, and all that north GA has to offer.
