Photos and Description of the Lake Burton vacation house rental
House, 3 Bedrooms + Sleeping Porch, 2.5 Baths, (Sleeps 6-10)

Enjoy this original '50's cottage and boathouse that have been completely renovated during the 2005-06 seasons. Sit on the boathouse or lounge in the hammock and listen to the soothing sound of a gentle stream. Dive off the boathouse or take a relaxing swim beside the floating dock. Explore the lake with 4 kayaks or take a lazy conoe ride. Enjoy the 'nooks & crannies' of this magnificent clear water lake---this home has it all.

The house will sleep six comfortably and add two more on a queen size platform Aero bed provided. From the Master Bedroom take your morning coffee across the level 20 foot catwalk and watch the lake come to life from the boathouse sun deck. While there, enjoy your MP3 music through a four speaker Bose sound system. This is a recommended way to start your day on Lake Burton.

While the adults are enjoying the sun porch with lake views, the children can either swim off the dock, or watch TV or DVD's in the den---the swim dock has a 'special concrete walk down floor' that is a gradual entrance into the lake (perfect for toddlers.) The kitchen is fully equipped, you can cook and look at the lake here too. If you like to grill, use the two (2) Weber charcoal & the gas grill on the boathouse. This boathouse sun deck offers over 1200 square feet (one of the largest on Lake Burton)----perfect for entertaining, dining, sunning, etc. It comes fully equipped with refrigerator, ice maker, 30 feet of custom cabinets, and special twi-light custom lighting. New for 2012, special high intensity LED underwater lighting (blue) has been installed around the boathouse...kids love to jump into 'the blue lagoon'!! At the end of the day, enjoy your own private outdoor hot & cold water shower (equipped with its own private changing area.) No need to leave the lake for indoor 'primping' -- this is lake burton!

The house is at the end of a two house private driveway (no road noise or dust at this location.) Additionally, it offers a generous amount of parking (7+ vehicles) and only 20 feet from the water! Bring your power boats and jet skis--the boathouse will stow (1) one boat under cover and the docks will tie-off many additional boats water toys. This home is ready for fun, frolic, & lots of relaxation. Most of all, enjoy the new lifetime memories your family & friends will have--just like the last 50 years for its owners.

About David Dyer

Steph and I (David) have lived in Rabun County for over 18 years. We grew up together as children on Lake Burton - what a terrific place to meet your future bride! We are retired, but work part time with a therapeutic wilderness program for troubled teens. I do a bit of radio broadcasting for our Rabun County Wildcats (football & basketball.) We feel so fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful areas of our country. We look forward to meeting you and sharing this beautiful area with you and your family.

David Dyer purchased this house in 1958
Why David Dyer chose Lake Burton

How lucky for us....We didn't have to purchase our vacation home. Lake Burton is where Steph and I spent summers as children growing up. We were both teenagers and met on the lake. Steph's parents had a summer cabin on one end of Lake Burton -- my family had one on the other end. We sort of met in the middle.

What makes this house unique

There are many unique features about this lake cabin. First of all, this was one of the early cabins built on Lake Burton. Therefore, the location and size of the lot are nearly perfect--500 feet of lake front, private cove, and lots of level parking. The house and boat house were completely remodeled 4 years ago. Now you can enjoy the cozy cabin -- with all the ammenities for your comfort and pleasure!

So nice, even in cool weather!

Another wonderful week at Shangri-La, this time during the cold snap just before Easter. The snow flurries were beautiful! The fireplace gave the house such warmth, and the afternoon sun made the sunroom a perfect spot for relaxation. We still caught fish off the dock -- a chain pickerel this year. The firepit was fun for all during one chilly afternoon, and on milder days we enjoyed the sounds of the stream. I can't say enough about the comfort of the house, the nice kitchen, and the exceptional hospitality of the owners.

A Fall Get Away That Truly Exceeded Expectations

5 of 5
Submitted: October 16, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
David-- Thank you so much for providing a wonderful weekend get away for my family and friends. Your home was the perfect place to bring two families together to enjoy a nice Fall break weekend. We loved being greeted with the towel and wine, while the kids only arguments were over who got the last of the muffins. HUGE HIT, and delicious. Your kindness and ability to drop what you were doing to assist was great and comforting. We really appreciated the boat rental, after learning my boat would need engine work. Not many would come at that hour and be so pleasurable. The history lessons of the lake as well made it all that more enjoyable to cruise and think about the stories and adventures you had, It certainly made eating at Chophouse fun knowing some of the back story. Thanks again for a great weekend and look forward to many more on Lake Burton at Shangra La!!

David and Steph, Thank you so much for everything!! We can't even begin to tell you what a great time we had and how appreciative we were of your wonderful hospitality. When we walked in and saw the embroided towels with our name on them, the huge muffins, wine, chocolate candy, personal note, etc.... we KNEW we were in for a treat!! The coffee pot filled with water and the different coffees to choose from won my heart too...and we haven't even gotten started yet..... your lake home is beautiful! You can tell it has been loved and taken care of. Everywhere you turn, you feel a sense of coziness, warmth and beauty. The personal touches that you add to every room show how much you love sharing your home. The view is astonishing from inside your home as well as the outside. Walking from the bedroom door directly onto the walkway that leads to the boat house is an amazing little stroll. Just beautiful!! We were again amazed.... the size of the boathouse deck...wow.... the view, the tables and chairs, grill, and all that you put into this area!! What a great place to spend the day. The walkway along the lake and the floating dock area was very nice too. So clean and well kept. The ducks were a bonus, they were so pretty and seemed to love hanging around. The purpose of our trip was to just get away for a few days and spend some quality time together. We enjoyed it so much. It was really hard coming back home and back to reality. We enjoyed going to the Dillard House to eat. That is one of our most favorite restaurants in Georgia. The antique shopping areas and sightseeing opportunities are great too. That was so neat...so close to everything...yet so far away. The pictures you have posted on the website to rent your home are beautiul and give a really good idea of what it is like, but you could never really know what it is like unless you experience it in person. They say pictures are worth a thousand words, but in this case.... .. Thanks again for everything!! We sure hope to see you again...in the near future!!!

Beautiful Home With Amazing Views On Lake Burton - A Must Visit!

Submitted: August 18, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
I had the best time celebrating my 30th birthday with my closest friends at this secluded hide-away. The views were stunning, and the owners thought of everything. Great touches all through the house that made it truly enjoyable. They even had "welcome" gift for us when we arrived, a monogrammed towel with my name on it, muffins and wine.

We got to use the kayaks, enjoy the water and even caught a meteor shower. I don't ever remembering seeing so many stars and the milky way in all my life. It was a once in a life time experience.

I will definitely make a trip back to Shangri La the next chance I get. Thank you David and Stephanie!!

I had one of the most fun vacations of my life at Shangri-La! The owners had thought of everything. The house was so cute and the views were stunning. I loved the kayaks and the "blue lagoon". I felt so at home and had a wonderful time. I can't wait to go back again. I am telling everyone about this property!
Recommended for:  Girls Getaway, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Isn't the "blue lagoon" a hoot! Those high intensity blue LED underwater lights have been a big hit this year. Thank you for your kind remarks and do come back soon and experience the new water feature. The expected preview date will be October 2012.
