About this property

On the Point: Nov. through New Years Discounted! 3+ night specials!6 B/R,4.5 Bth

Our family has been coming to Lake Burton since 1943 and our grandmother purchased this property, Chiggerchaw Lodge, in 1949. With over 1000 feet of shoreline we are one of the largest lots on Lake Burton. We have so many happy family memories of swimming, touring the lake, fishing, eating at Laprades, buckdancing at Mountain City, whitewater rafting on the Chattooga River (1/2 hour away) and Nantahala River (45 minutes away) and exploring Clayton, Clarkesville, Helen and the surrounding area. Trophy fly-fishing rivers 20-30 minutes away!

We held our family reunions here in 2011 and 2019. We believe Lake Burton is special and we believe our home and property are special too. We finally tore down the cabin which was built in 1947 and built our log cabin dream house in 2007.

The house is on the main part of Lake Burton with 2.8 secluded acres and as described over 1000 feet of shoreline. From the Great Room with vaulted ceilings with all our glass doors there is a 180 degree view of the lake and Charlie Mountain. We have complete wood interior with four bedrooms with queen beds and 2 shared baths on the main level, and 2 separate bunk rooms with 2 bathrooms on the lower level. The house sleeps a total of 20 including bunk beds and a pull-out bed.

Disappointed with the overall experience

The first day when we checked in, we found out that the water supply was totally off. The property manager responded promptly and sent a plumber to the house, but it all took until late night to get some water out of the taps. Still the water pressure in the bathrooms was very low and so those rooms were not usable. Our party included 5 families with kids so it was a disappointed start for our stay that too on the Christmas day. The next day, we could not go out till someone showed up to fix the issue, so we lost another half a day in our trip - effectively losing 1 out of 3 days of our trip. The home seems to be maintained fairly well. But, we found spiders in the bathrooms, all 5 kids got allergies and sneezing throughout the night. When we went outside the next day, they were normal. Got the sneezing back when we reached the home. Sorry to say this, but it was a disappointing stay for us.

Beautiful views, beautiful home

We took 4 generations to Chiggerchaw for a 3 day weekend and the whole family enjoyed a relaxing weekend. There is plenty of room to spread out for a large crowd. The kitchen is perfect with all the amenities. We had great weather, played lots of games, took a hike at the nearby State Park. We grilled at night and sat on the porch by the fireplace drinking coffee. It was a nice getaway for our family.

Spectacular Weekend on Lake Burton!

Came to stay on nice place for golf weekend. This house and property was the main event. We all just had a blast. The secluded point on Lake Buton in a beautiful home surpassed all of our explanations!

Amazing trip

We stayed for the week of the 4th of July and it was an amazing experience. John (property owner) was very helpful prior to and throughout the stay. The memorabilia on the walls and history of lake Burton was fascinating. The pictures of the property and house on vrbo do not do it justice. The place is beautiful and there is nothing like a 4th of July out on the lake. The kids had a blast. Would be great if boat / jet ski rental/use was included in the house rental in the future to avoid marina rentals, which are limited during busy periods. We look forward to staying again in the future!

Had a great time for a group of 16. Even though the lake was too cold to get in, we thoroughly enjoyed the property and house. The kitchen was well equipped. Everyone slept comfortably. The view was stunning. We ate at Bleu Canoe one night as well and would highly recommend.

Ultimate winter or summer get away

This is the 2nd year we have met up with friends at this cabin. It couldn’t be more perfect for families with older kids. Enough space to spread out but the large open room ensures the kids don’t stay hidden in the basement. The bedrooms are simple but perfectly outfitted. The property and view is something to see. Could not recommend enough. So thankful to make memories here.

Lack of communication- lying homeowner

We rented this cabin for a family fall adventure. When we checked in the cabin was not cleaned at all- the numbers that were on the check in sheet were wrong. Finally at 9pm a cleaning crew arrived but it was super inconvenient to wait outside with several little kids. I talked to the owner about it and he was agreeable to give us the night for free however he has never refunded me the money and now ignores my emails and phone calls. The cabin itself is nice but I would not recommend based on the owner.
