HELLO!
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 Chad’s grandparents had a house on Watts Bar Lake in east TN). 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.
We want to provide a lake cabin of old, a place with elements of the past, but obviously modern touches and comforts of the present. 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.
Our History
All of the photos hanging in the house are from our past, mostly here in Rabun County. Christie’s granddad (Frank) was an amateur photographer, and always had a camera on-hand. The topographic quad maps in the dining room are from 1957, and if you get a chance to look them over it’s amazing to see how few houses were around the lake. Enjoy these historic photos from Lake Burton.
