“One of our favorite homes we have ever rented. Clean and beautifully furnished. Had breakfast and dinners on the large screened porch, surrounded by trees. Lots of privacy. Comfortable beds. Great laundry room and bathrooms. Walked to the marina to get the boat and jet ski each day. Chad even helped us find some awesome hikes close by. Thanks for everything! Can't wait to come back :) ”

“The house has great charm and was set up as if we were family. The kitchen was well stocked … the beds comfortable, the gas fireplace warm, great communication from the owners, furniture was perfect and the fire pit was ready to use. We needed a relaxing break from the Christmas holidays and we found it.”

“Book here. You will not regret it. This charming cottage is so well done and has everything you need for a restful getaway. You can tell by the little details that the owners really put a lot of thought into their guests’ experience and went above and beyond to make our stay fantastic. The house is clean, well decorated, and everything is in good working order. Loved both the outdoor fire pit and indoor gas fireplace. We hope to come back when it is warmer to make more use out of the spacious screened-in porch. The house is a short walk away from the marina, lake, farmhouse market, and a short drive to Clayton and various outdoor areas and restaurants. Chad and Christie were very flexible and accommodating on short notice and made the entire rental process from booking to check-out a breeze. Thank you both! We have recommended your place to friends and hope to come back again soon.”

-Jade (January 2021, Vrbo)

“My husband, daughter and I had the most relaxing week at Timpson Cove Cottage. Every little detail in this place was thought of and Chad was so helpful and responsive. Our favorite space was the screened in porch, with the lights on in the evening! We will definitely come back and recommend this location without hesitation. Thank you for such a lovely stay!”

The home is well laid out and spacious so we didn't feel on top of each other, and we appreciated all of the attention to details and amenities that made our stay effortless. We also loved all of the Lake Burton history throughout the home. Thank you again, and we look forward to staying again!”

“Timpson Cove Cottage is a beautiful, cozy lake home that had EVERYTHING we needed and more! There was even a soaking tub with lavender bath salts. Perfection. It is located walking distance (2 minutes) to the marina and a short drive (10-12 minutes) to Clayton. Lake Burton was quiet and clean and so refreshing. This is a great family home to enjoy at Lake Burton. Five plus ⭐️ stars!”

-Lisa (July 2022, Airbnb)

“We had a big family reunion weekend and this house was the perfect fit. Our house is close to High Harbour, and we had this house as the overflow for our guests - and we are more than thrilled we discovered this! The atmosphere is something all were ooohing and ahhhing about upon checking in - it's the cabin-cozy feel you crave during a lake weekend. It was our guests very first time at the lake, and this could not have been more perfect! Also... highly suggest calling dibs on the master bedroom, it is STUNNING!”

-Kelly (August 2022, Vrbo)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

“The Owners were very quick to respond to all questions and helped with suggestions on things to do when our original plans were rained out. The cottage is beautiful and so close to the marina and a very nice little beach right on the lake. We would love to come again someday!”

“We absolutely loved this cabin! The decor is wonderful! I went with 2 friends and we loved the fact that we each had our own room and own bathroom. The screened porch is great and the cabin had everything we needed. Also, kudos to the cleaner - everything was very clean. The owner was very responsive. We would love to stay here again.”

-Virginia (October 2022, Vrbo)

“Chad was great throughout the entire process. The cottage was a very special place-room to hang together, an outdoor fire pit and great parking for all family members. We highly recommend this property, and hope to return ourselves to enjoy a different season there!”

First of all - we were contacted the evening before check-in that the home was clean and ready and we could check-in early - if we'd like. I've been renting VRBOs for a while now and this has never happened! The owners were so personal and accommodating - you can tell they truly want you to enjoy your stay. As soon as we entered the door we felt welcomed. The furnishings and decor looked so inviting! Just what you'd imagine for a mountain - lake cottage. The furniture was very comfortable inside, but we spent most of our time on the screened in porch. Comfy furniture on the porch for lounging and napping! There's a nice tv in living area - plenty of books for reading and games for family game time. The kitchen was very well equipped. There's a dining table inside and one on the screened-in porch as well for outdoor meals. Great place to enjoy coffee in the mornings! The beds were very comfortable! So comfortable - I checked to see what kind of mattress I was sleeping on (master bedroom)! This cottage offers privacy, but is just a short walk to the lake and just a few minutes drive to Clayton where I enjoying shopping! It's a great location! We'd definitely stay here again.

“My family and I were looking for a place to stay by Lake Burton to get away from the city for a few days. Timpson Cove Cottage was perfect in every way. The location, amenities, size and cleanliness of the home, the decorating and we were able to bring our dog. Chad was very communicative and made the stay that much more enjoyable. Definitely coming back again!”

-Andrea M. (July 2020, Vrbo)

“We are Timpson Cove Cottage's newest fans. This charming abode is tucked in the woods, completely private, and a short stroll to the lake. With three bedrooms and three baths, it was perfect for our family of four so the kids (ages 14 and 11) could spread out and have their own space after being crammed on a boat all day. Clean and beautifully decorated, Chad and Christie made us feel welcome and at home - including our dogs. This cottage reminds me of my childhood summers on a small pond in MA, but with lots of modern comforts (and a lot closer to home). We stretched out, relaxed, breathed deep, and enjoyed all the details that the owners didn't miss. We will be back.”

-Jonathan (August 2020, Airbnb)

“The house is beautiful; the location is private but close to everything. We spent lots of time on the screened porch and playing corn hole... and walking down to the boat dock to watch the sun set. A great stay all around!”

I've never written a review for the dozens of properties we've rented in the past but felt compelled to write one for this special property. The house was beautifully decorated (so tastefully done), clean and well stocked (the laundry room was filled with paper goods and cleaning supplies). We appreciated the little details including a welcome brochure which gave us an overview of the house and local attractions. The location was great- within walking distance to the marina, the Farmhouse Market and a short 15 min drive to downtown Clayton. The owners were extremely responsive and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends. Thanks for opening your home to us, Chad and Christie!

“We had an awesome time staying at the cabin in Timpson Creek Cove. My wife and son (college age ) were on spring break so we rented this cabin to be close to our favorite trout fishing streams. The cabin was beautiful and my wife loved the decor. It had everything we needed to enjoy our week. I highly recommend it.”

-Chris (March 2021, Vrbo)

“Chad+Christie’s place is a wonderfully welcoming spot, excellently appointed with everything you need for a fun getaway! They are Goldilocks communicators and the house has a booklet of all the relevant “on-location” information you could possibly want or wonder. Everyone in our party loved this house - its cozy cabin-y, lake-life finishings were the icing on the cake!”

-Courtney (April 2021, Airbnb)

“This little gem is a perfect mountain and lake getaway for anyone. My family and I had a lovely stay. Chad and Christie have thought of everything when they decorated and stocked this cottage. It is located right by the lake (Lake Burton, and a boat-renting marina too), close to town and groceries (some smaller convenience stores within walking distance), hiking, fishing, and shopping. I cannot say enough great things about our stay and about the host! Treat yourself and stay here. We will definitely be back!”

Chad was super responsive and helpful with all of our questions. The proximity to the lake was very handy and allowed easy access for fun lake activities! We plan to be back!”

“We were in town from out of state for a friend's wedding. Excellent communications with Chad, he responded to my emails quickly and with clear information/suggestions. Beautiful home with everything we needed. Super beds! We all slept great. So quiet and peaceful. It was so nice to come "home" after a long day and sit by a cozy fire in the firepit. Well stocked kitchen, everything top notch and clean. Not to be missed is the outdoor shop Wander and pizza at Fortify Pi. :) Would love to come back.”

-Paula (October 2021, Vrbo)

“We recently enjoyed a week-long stay at Timpson Cove Cottage, and found it was the perfect location to enjoy nearby Lake Burton. We even rented a boat at a nearby marina and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon on the water. AND this property is located less than 15 minutes from all of the excellent restaurants and shops (including grocery and drug stores) in nearby Clayton. The cottage itself was beautifully decorated, equipped with quality linens and furnishings, spotlessly clean, and SO comfortable! Everything was in perfect working order. We enjoyed several meals on the lovely screened porch. There was enough space between bedroom areas so that our guests had some privacy. The owner was very responsive and helpful. Everything added up to a wonderful, relaxing time at Timpson Cove Cottage, and we can’t wait to return.”

-Janet (October 2021, Vrbo)

“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.”

“Amazing stay in a wonderful house with a can’t beat location! We have stayed in many Airbnb’s — and almost all have been wonderful — and this rates right at the top! The house was so comfortable, the space was great and Chad+Christie were wonderful and responsive hosts. Would give six stars if I could and we will definitely be back!”

-Brett (August 2022, Airbnb)

“The 3/3 house was spacious, comfortable and very clean. With the marina across the street, a boat rental is only steps away. The location also makes it easy to drive to Clayton in about 10 minutes, multiple waterfall hikes are nearby and if you are playing golf at the Waterfall Club it’s only 5 minutes away. This was a great place to relax and recharge and the owners were very accommodating.”

-Chuck (August 2022, Vrbo)

“The house is so well outfitted with thoughtful design and furnishings, and the location is very versatile - as quiet or as active as you want to be. The pictures are accurate, communication with the owner was very easy, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Perfect.”

“Great Airbnb! Super clean! Super decorated. Super location. Right on the edge of Lake Burton but ….. you can walk 7 min to the Farmhouse Market and get gourmet pre-cooked meals OR 100 Yards further to the “Last Dive on Lake Burton” good bar food. The accommodations are perfect. Screened in porch is awesome. Master Suite is 5 stars. Feels like you’ve been time traveled to 1950 except with all modern conveniences. 10 min from downtown Clayton. 30 min from the Soque - trout river (try Brigadoon - to quote Ferris Beuler “I highly recommend it if you have the means”) Been in Airbnb’s all over the world - this is one of the top 3.”

-Rick (October 2022, Airbnb)

“Fantastic getaway with family before Xmas!! Cottage was perfect for our family of four. Hikes, movie nights, dinners out at Bleu Canoe and Universal Joint ending with a home cooked spaghetti dinner on our last night. Highly recommend this property.”

Timpson Cove Cottage was absolutely perfect! This was a very special trip for me and my partner and we actually got married in the yard of this VRBO. It was a private elopement and we couldn't have loved it more. We will definitely be back!
