LAKEFRONT w/easy lake access for swimming, kayaking, canoeing- all included! 5⭐️

Escape to Burton Lake Escape. Enjoy beautful lake and mountain views while sitting on our screen in porch sipping a cool ice tea or glass of wine. Build a romantic, roaring fire in the large stone fireplace while watching a movie on the big screen TV. Prepare large family dinners while the kids swim in the lake. Picnic on the dock, float in the cool clean water of Lake Burton or take slow, easy rides around the Lake in a pontoon boat rental which you can park right at your own private dock! Enjoy a game of ping pong, cornhole or roast marshmallows at the inviting lakeside firepit as the ducks float by. Whatever you choose to do, come, relax and enjoy your stay at Burton Lake Escape.

Note: ** We have one security camera that covers the driveway area, and one camera at the front door for your safety and security.**

Wonderful Lake Views!
This rental provides wonderful lake views and sunsets on large screened porch with comfy rockers, gliders, and a swing! Nice views of the water from the dock too! The cabin was clean and comfortable and provided all our needs. Rooms were open and spacious with beautiful wide plank wood floors. Our hostess was friendly and accessible. Colorful autumn foliage everywhere! We hopefully will return! Great trip!! 🍁

Beautiful Location
This was our first stay at Lake Burton and this was an excellent choice! Marti the owner is very responsive to queries, the check in was easy and we loved the home. Easy access to the dock complete with kayaks and a canoe and Marti gave us details of hikes and local restaurants. Our dogs and family had a fun time!

Another stay at the relaxing, peaceful Burton Lake Escape
This was our second stay at the Burton Lake Escape house and we had another fabulous stay! We love the location (in between marinas and close to the Farmhouse Market and the recycling center), the screened in porch, the pet area is great for our golden, and the big TV is awesome for fun nights. Since our stay was at the end of the summer, the kitchen was well stocked with spices, coffee filters...thanks previous renters! I am thankful for the supply of dishwasher pods, clothes washer pods and trash bags. The house comes equipped with everything you need. We also enjoyed the kayak and spent most of our days on the dock and in the swing. It's a lovely setting. Will definitely come back and would recommend to everyone.

Summer Fun
Our family had a wonderful week at Lake Burton Escape. The property has easy lake access. We enjoyed the canoe and kayaks. The kitchen had everything we needed and the grill was very nice. There is so much to do in the area, we were wishing for more time. We saw a bear crossing the road about 5 minutes from the house! Marti was great to offer suggestions and answer questions. We hope to return to Lake Burton Escape next year.

WOW. Amazing!
We ADORE this home. It's big, but cozy. Everything you could think of needing or wanting is there from a ping pong table to kayaks and canoes, and games. The well-stocked spices cabinet and great cookware were much appreciated and made us want to stay in all the time! The owner is SUPER nice and accommodating. Really, everything about her and the place is welcoming and warm. It's a gem and I will definitely be looking for future opportunities to stay here again!

Lake Burton Retreat
This cabin is located on a wide, deep-water cove with a beautiful view from the main level across the lake. The road to the cabin is paved and is well-marked. The design and decoration of the cabin is perfect for the Lake with a big screened porch and large windows in every bedroom that look out onto the lake. The two main bedrooms are very comfortable. Each has a private bathroom. The bunk-bed rooms for kids is a really fun space, and there is a 3rd bathroom that opens into the hallway for them. The kitchen is stocked with spices and other cooking essentials along with all the pots and pans you will need. By reading the Guest Book, you can see how many people return to this cabin year after year. That is probably the best recommendation of all!!!
