About this property

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.

60th birthday getaway and cycling

We planned my husband’s 60th with a stay in beautiful Clayton on the lake. Clayton is a special Place for us as we are avid cyclist and have ridden the area several times and always thought how amazing it would be to stay there. So this was our first stay in the area and obviously we were not disappointed by the beauty of it all. The property location is perfect. What was disappointing though was knowing we were watched by our host. Only 5 of us were staying at the property but a group met us Sunday morning for a bicycle ride in the area and the plan was for them to leave after the ride and having cake. While I was serving the cake around 4 pm, a call was made to the property asking for me, it was the host stating that she sees a car on the camera in the drive way blocking the neighbor’s driveway and it must removed immediately. And “how long more will people be there”. I had informed her about the group, told her everyone but the 5 of us will be leaving by 6PM. The car she saw was not parked there , my husband was moving cars around so that the people who had parked behind it could drive out as our friends were leaving. This really took away the sense of serenity and privacy knowing we are being watched. His birthday was interrupted and that was not OK.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Marti Schwab

Our family first started going to Lake Burton in the early 70s and rented a rustic cabin at Cherokee Landing camp. We loved it so much that we eventually bought our own property and have been enjoying the Lake ever since. We would spend our week days in Atlanta and weekends at Lake Burton. We have all grown up now and with that our lives have gotten busier with our children, their sports schedules, etc. So we unfortunately aren't able to get there as much as we would like so that's when we decided to share it with others! Let us share some of our southern hospitality with you and your family.

Why they chose this property

The original cabin that stood on this lot was purchased by my family in 1972. It was a 3 room rustic cabin with a great screened porch. It was tiny but we have so many great memories of our childhood vacations...water skiing, tubing, fishing, playing games, hunting for Indian pottery on the shoreline, etc. We lost the old cabin to a fire approximately 17 years ago, so we rebuilt it bigger to accommodate our growing families and have been making improvements and new memories ever since! It now has a master bedroom on the main floor and open kitchen, dining and living room areas as well as a screened porch running along the entire top floor overlooking the Lake. We love to go up and relax. It is so peaceful...away from the hussle and bussle of Atlanta traffic. Now it is time for you to build some wonderful memories for your own family. Rent today!
