Cute as a Button! Fee Simple! Comfortable Country!
Walk into an incredible view of Lake Burton. The warmth of the great room with pine tongue and groove walls and vaulted ceiling, wide plank pine flooring and stacked stone fireplace creates a wonderful room for guests to gather. The open country kitchen allows the chef to enjoy lake views and good company at the same time. The spacious dining area has plenty of seating for 8 or more with a vaulted ceiling that extends out to a wonderful covered deck with distant mountain and lake views of Dick's Creek.
Wake up to soft lake views from the master bedroom on the main floor. A big picture window with a door leading to the outside deck offers great lake views. The cheery master bath features white beadboard walls and cabinets with sage beadboard accents and a double vanity.
The patriotic guest room offers a comfortable sleeping quarter and a good night's rest listening to the peaceful outdoors sounds.
Enjoy the bathing beauties in the fresh and happy full guest bath with vibrant sunshine walls and pine ceiling and floors.
The partially finished lower level offers a game/media room with extra sleeping in the bonus room. An entrance to the outside stone walk way leads to the two stall boathouse. An easy lighted boardwalk framed by mountain laurel introduces a wonderful deck complete with screened porch and open decking for sunbathing. Deep water and wonderful views await you at the water's edge.
The house was renovated in 2000. You need to see it to appreciate it!
FROM THE OWNERS:
We drove down the one lane road through a canopy of mountain laurel in bloom. We were almost hooked. And then we saw the view of the lake and the surrounding mountains from the old weathered deck, and I knew we had found our special slice of heaven. Sure, the old fishing cabin was small, but it had been kept spotless by the previous owner. With the comfortable furnishings and wood paneled walls, it was like stepping back into the 70ʼs. But we felt right at home. How wonderfully convenient it is to be able walk right into the house with only one step up.
Less than a 2-hour trip from door to door made it for us easy to slip away for a day or a week. Our first project was to update the old one slip boat house, allowing us to host up to 25 people for a few July 4th celebrations. Anyone under 25 thinks it is a great place to sleep! Jumping off the top of the boat house has also become a favorite activity—even for the older folks.
When we renovated the cabin, we wanted to preserve its homey, rustic feel. Keeping the original rafters exposed in the kitchen and bedroom has enabled us to retain that charm. More windows and doors were added to let in the natural light, wonderful views and nice breezes.
Most of our time is spent on the back porch watching the boaters, skiers and wildlife. Lots of time spent rocking and watching the humming birds come faithfully to our feeders each year. It is the place we sit in the morning with coffee to wake up, to visit and tell tall tales and laugh with old friends, to eat meals, to watch kids and grandkids play, to glimpse an eagle or even a bear, and to finish the day with a cold beer or glass of wine as we see the last of the sun’s rays.
We love sleeping under the breeze of the fans and the cool summer nights. We love the quiet and the sense of peace we find there. We love that whoever visits is just as mesmerized by this place as we are.
Now we have children and grandchildren living out West who aren’t able to come as often to enjoy the lake with us, so we find ourselves spending more time with them during the summer months. The decision to let go of our piece of paradise does not come easy, but we hope another family will find the contentment and joy that our lake house has brought to us.
