Thank you for your thoughtful review. We love hearing good memories were made by our guests, a great stay is our number one goal!
We hope you can return and spend some time on the lake, there is nothing quite like Lake Burton and the North Georgia/Western Carolina Mountains!
We had a truly wonderful stay. Upscale gated community. The house is beautifully decorated with thoughtful touches in every room—it felt so welcoming and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The surrounding area is absolutely stunning, a charming local community. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and warm.

Thank you for the kind review-we want our guests to have a great experience! So glad you all had a wonderful time at the wedding and enjoying the fall colors in the mountains and beautiful Lake Burton!
We found this beautiful home to be everything we'd hoped for! Came for a family gathering with our adult children - 2 families. Plenty of room for all to have their space while allowing for great gathering areas as well. Our favorite spot was gathering on the back deck enjoying the peaceful views!

My family and friends enjoyed their stay in this beautiful luxury mountain retreat. The home is spacious and well-appointed with modern conveniences and charm while offering the serenity of a view of the golf course at the Waterfall Club. We enjoyed movies, swimming, and tennis during our stay. A beautiful home, gorgeous views, and great amenities coupled with the generosity of a gracious host made for the perfect Spring Break getaway.

Christy you all picked a fabulous time of year and thank you for being great guests. The weather in Clayton was made for porch living! Look forward to hosting you next year!
We had the best weekend staying at this beautiful property in a spectacular setting. The pictures don’t do the property justice. We stayed for a weekend wedding and did a little sightseeing on the side. We really enjoyed the beautiful and quiet location. The property had every amenity to make our stay enjoyable. And Gina and Geoff made the check- in and check-out process super easy. We definitely want to come back!

Beautiful home, very clean, welcoming. Owners are extremely responsive. Want your visit to be wonderful. Home has everything needed to cook. Little store close by. Golf course is amazing, lake is beautiful. Pictures of home do not show its beauty, warmth or the view well enough. Amazing!!!

Excellent Relaxing Labor Day Weekend Vacation Home
Spacious, clean, very comfortable and centrally-located at Lake Burton for my family of 4 adults to reconnect boating on Lake Burton, hiking at Black Rock Mountain State Park, playing golf at Brasstown Valley Resort and dining at the Chop House at LaPrades Marina and downtown Clayton. High quality home with a great back porch with a view of the waterfall on the 5th fairway, beautiful stone fireplace & wood floors, full kitchen, plenty of bedrooms, and comfortable couches & chairs to watch football on two large TVs. Came home refreshed and reconnected with family because of this home.

Thank you for taking the time and submitting such a thoughtful review! You all were blessed with perfect weather to enjoy many of the activities available in and around Rabun Co.
We spent a rainy and cloudy weekend at this lovely house and came back refreshed and rested and happy! Owner could have not been more helpful and the process from start to finish was easy and pleasant. We purchased a temporary membership at Waterfall Club and enjoyed the sport courts and indoor pool. House was clean and spacious. Fireplace was cozy and Clayton provided a nearby jaunt for lunch and light shopping. Can’t wait to return I’m the Summer!

We are thrilled you had a relaxing getaway! Thank you for the kind review. We hope you and your family return over the summer or fall to enjoy time on Lake Burton and all the activities the North Georgia and North Carolina Mountains offer!
This home is not only gorgeous but literally has every amenity you could possibly need. It is a spacious house laid out perfectly for larger groups. The house was pristinely clean, beautifully decorated and the beds were SO comfortable. You can not beat the views from the back deck and we loved watching the gophers on the golf course. 5+++ star rental! We can't wait to go back! The owner was so helpful, communicated with us easily and was a delight to work with.

Thank you for the kind review and we are thrilled you had a relaxing and fun getaway! We love you made happy birthday memories with family and friends!
This home was perfect for our adult weekend to attend a wedding in the area. The house is gracious and updated. The kitchen is very well equipped and has top quality appliances and cookware.
We used the two king bedrooms which were comfortable and quiet.
We enjoyed coffee on the deck overlooking the golf course each morning and grilled out in the evening. With nearby recreation available- we golfed and rented a boat through the marina.
The Gills were very responsive and a pleasure to communicate with. We highly recommend this property!

Thank you for your kind review!
Though out of my control, Rabun County held true to it’s tag line, “Where Spring Stays for Summer.” There is nothing quite like the north Georgia mountains and Lake Burton to get away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives.
We are so pleased you all had an enjoyable stay!
