About this property

North GA, Timpson Cove Cottage. Just a few hundred yards to Lake Burton.

We’re located on an acre in Rabun County where Timpson Creek meets Lake Burton. We’re just down the street from lake access at Anchorage Boat Dock, and under a mile from the public beach access on nearby Charlie Mountain Road. We’re just off Highway 76 and a short drive to downtown Clayton, GA (6 miles). The Appalachian Trail is just up the road, as well as Waterfall Club Resort and Golf Course. Basically, we’re right smack dab in the middle of much to do in Rabun County. From hiking, waterfall sightseeing, cycling, fishing, boating, skiing, and overall lake-relaxing, we’re at the heart of what northeast Georgia has to offer.

Our home has 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. The Primary bath has an additional clawfoot tub. The Primary bedroom is quite large with fresh carpet and a very comfortable mattress. There are 4 beds total: 2 King & 2 Full (an additional inflatable mattress and “pack’n’play” are also available). We have a full laundry room and supply closet, a screened-porch, fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and ample room between the fireplace and living area. There’s also a charcoal/kamado grill above the fire pit, nestled along the driveway.

3rd Times a Charm

This was our 3rd annual stay at Timpson Cove Cottage and it never disappoints. The property is stunning (especially in Fall), and the kids love playing in the leaves while my husband and I enjoy reading on the screened in porch. The attention to detail of the provided amenities is unmatched, and we can't wait to book again for next Fall!

Simply Perfect!

I cannot over state how beautifully curated this property is. The attention to detail is impressive, setting this home above most vacation properties. Our family truly enjoyed staying in as well as going out on the lake (just a hop skip and jump away!). We hope to return again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Timpson Cove Cottage! The cottage was beautifully decorated, comfortable, well stocked kitchen and easy to get to. We attended a friend’s wedding while here and the cottage was located close to everything. It’s located near the marina where some friends picked us up on their boat to attend Fridays party. Also, our host, Chad, was easy to get in touch with and super nice. Overall, it was a great stay! Thank you!! go the Fridsys party.

Great weekend!

We stayed here the weekend before sending our son to Camp High Harbour. We had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean, spacious and cozy. We had plenty of space for our family of 5 and loved the location. We walked to the marina to rent a boat and walked to the market/ Dive Bar for dinner. We would definitely stay again. The host was very responsive and helpful. We loved it!

Our stay was so peaceful and relaxing. We were able to have some much needed downtime to read, cook, explore the roads around Lake Burton, shop and eat in Clayton, while staying in your delightful, well appointed, clean cottage. You have set up an amazing home for others to enjoy. Thank you for a fabulous stay....we will return.

About the host

Hosted by Chad Pelton + Christie Bazemore

Host profile image
Both of us grew up spending our summers on lakes (Christie’s family has had a cabin right here on Lake Burton since the 1950s), and we wanted a home that made us feel like we did when we caught our first fish, when we made our first dive, and when we took our first boat ride. We wanted the smell of a grill, the coolness of the mountain air, the sound of a creek, and we wanted a lake tradition we could share with others.

Why they chose this property

From the get-go, we wanted to provide a lake cabin of old, a place with elements of the past, but obviously modern touches and comforts of the present as well. It’s not a fussy mansion of a house. Rather, it’s a 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage in the woods, within walking distance to boat and jet-ski rentals, as well as fishing gear, groceries, and even the local bar is within a short walk up Hill Camp Lane.

What makes this property unique

300 steps from Lake Burton. Less than a mile from the public beach on Lake Burton. 6 miles from Downtown Clayton, GA. Access to National Forests, waterfalls, hikes, fishing, scenic drives, and all that north GA has to offer.
