Perched in the serene hills above Lake Burton, Lake View Escape is a beautifully renovated mountain cottage that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. While not directly on the water, this charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat makes up for it with unforgettable scenery and peaceful privacy.

Whether you’re sipping coffee at sunrise or enjoying a glass of wine at sunset, the outdoor spaces here are made for relaxing and reconnecting.

Inside, the single-level layout blends modern comfort with classic cabin warmth.
