Property was good, but the house was very musty and smelled of dog pee also had lots of spider webs inside the house. location was great, and the access to Lake Burton was great.
We stayed over the Thanksgiving holiday and had the most magical time. The house is very spacious with plenty of room for all 9 of us. It is within walking distance of a great restaurant with a lively bar. Kitchen is extremely well stocked and had everything we needed to prepare our holiday meal. The open green space was perfect for a family kickball game.
My family and I had a wonderful time staying at this lakehouse! The house has plenty of space inside and out and is quite comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. The house has some fantastic photos and memorabilia from when Camp Cherokee was on the premises. I’d recommend this house to a friend.
A perfect long weekend in dear HoH. We have many fond memories of this place from its Camp Cherokee for Boys days.
The revised HoH was fully equiped with a full kitchen, laundry facilities and many comfortable bedrooms. Three floors made sleeping arrangements very convenient. Beautiful Lake Burton and a private dock were steps away. Swimming and boat rental ( at a nearby marina) were easy and a treat.
The owner was always available via phone or text for any questions.
HoH would be a perfect mountain/ lake retreat for anyone but especially those with summer memories of the Camp.
We hope to return next summer with our Grandchildren to share the wonderful memories.
Thank you
Lots of memories for our family from this property. Very pleasing to us personally to see so much of the its history preserved. Kitchen and living areas are conducive to multiple guests. Great views from the porches of the lake and dock-actually caught a glimpse of a bear wandering in the woods. Host readily available and responsive.
This was our third visit to this amazing property! The house and surrounding forested acreage are beautiful. Whether you are looking for a peaceful retreat or the perfect spot for great fun on the lake, this is your place! The house with its intriguing history is so unique and filled with gorgeous furniture! Everything you need for a special vacation is provided: linens, kitchen utensils, and more! Bonus: the owners are very friendly. Thank you, for helping us “ make our dream come true!
The host was very communicative and the house was well stocked with dry goods and basic needs. We loved walking the property, sitting on the dock and enjoying the history of the boys camp that started in the 1920’s on this property.
Perfect house and location for a quick family getaway. Rustic house with a great kitchen and easy lake access! We rented a boat and loved touring Lake Burton. Caught several fish (small) right off the dock. We spent hours on the screen porch playing cards and board games. Wifi is a little iffy, which made for great family time.
We have stayed here in the past and again enjoyed our stay. Mr. Bell is always attentive to any needs and it is hard to go wrong with this large rustic place. We spent most of our time on Lake Burton. It is so nice to have such a quiet place for the kids to swim. We will definitely be back! This is the first year it didn’t rain the entire week which was so nice.
Jim was a great host and handled everything we needed. The property was an amazing historical boys camp started in the 20’s and the old buildings are still around. The main house has lots of character and history. Our teenagers stayed in the second building and had their own space. The lake was great and we had a blast.
We had a great time together! There were four kids ages 2-6 and there were lots of games, toys for them. Plenty of space for the ten of us to spread out. Screened in porches to enjoy the outdoors while it rained. We enjoyed the meadow playing kickball and baseball and enjoyed exploring the area. Would love to go back!
When our original cabin was canceled at the last minute due to water issues, we found Jim's cabin. I have to admit sometimes plan B turns out to be much better than our first choice. Everyone loved it! Thanks for the great memories.
The only thing that I would change would be to put some new TVs in the house that work. And the internet is sub-par. Otherwise, the charm was very well enjoyed. It felt like staying at a friend's house for the weekend. I would not hesitate to stay at this place again.
My family and I vacationed at this unique Lake Burton property. The description on the website is very accurate. The house is a combination of a rustic section (living room and dining room) with lots of history and and a newer section (bedrooms). The kitchen is large and very well equipped. We enjoying eating on the open air patio and the screened porch. The house has lots of privacy. The property is lakefront, but there is a bit of walk from the house to the lake. The dock is nice and there was plenty of space for our rental boat (we rented from Anchorage Marina). The cove is quiet and we swam without worry of boat traffic. The owner Jim Bell is helpful and attentive. We would return.
We have been staying on Lake Burton for 20 years. A couple of years ago, we discovered this magnificent property. We’ve stayed at several different rentals, but this one tops them all. The house itself is uniquely beautiful in the style of a great lodge. The furnishings are gorgeous, and all appliances are the top of the line. The kitchen is well equipped, beds are comfy, and the primary bathroom even has a claw-foot soaking tub! The surrounding property consists of an amazing forest of trees and various flora with several hiking trails. It is very private . The boat house easily accommodated our sport boat and two jet skis. We really enjoyed swimming off the dock. The owner is one of the nicest people and eager to see that his guests have a great time! We now measure time by counting the days until our next visit! Don’t miss out on this gem!
Our family had a great time at this house. We had four families staying together and there was plenty of room for all of us. There are two screened in porches where you can relax with a book or get some quiet time. The kitchen is huge and a great place for all to gather. The house may not suit people who are looking for a pristine, sterile environment. This house is lived in, and a lot of the family’s personal effects are throughout the house—stuff in drawers, condiments in fridge, etc. For my family, that made it cozy and interesting, but others may be turned off. And the electronics—tv’s, WiFi, are not modern, so if this is important to you, then you may be happier elsewhere. This is not meant to be a criticism, just honest. We loved it. My teenage boys learned to fish and kayak and it was the first time in a long time I saw them enjoy the outdoors. And that’s really what made it special.
