The Story Behind Burton

Long before Lake Burton became a gathering place for generations of families, a small mountain town flourished along the Tallulah River.
In the mid-to-late 1800s, Jeremiah Burton—our developer’s cousin—owned 1,000 acres along the river, where he opened the area’s first store and post office and built the first bridge across the Tallulah. The town took root at the confluence of Dick’s Creek and the river, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire Burton’s new mountain village today.

At our boathouse, historic photographs—including images of Jeremiah’s son John and his family shared here —along with a painting of the original town by Mary Poss, offer a glimpse into the lives and landscape of Burton’s past.

We’re proud to honor this history as we build for the future.

Stay tuned to our Events page for Mike Maffett’s upcoming talk on the history of Burton.

As the colors turn more vividly across the mountains and late afternoon sun peeks through the trees, fall is in full swing at Burton.

Progress continues on Homesites 14, 15 & 16, tucked above Kastner Pond with the Chattahoochee National Forest just beyond. It’s been a beautiful week to take the long way along Wildcat Creek and wander up to Waterfall Gorge, where the best of mountain living is found in the quiet moments.

A Season of Change at Burton

As the mountains begin to turn, a new season is taking shape around Burton.

Fall color is finding its way through the trees as new homes rise on Homesites 12 and 16. Beautiful stone details are taking shape on Homesite 14, while sweeping views over Kastner Pond frame the home underway on Homesite 15.

Each home reflects the land, the views, and the natural character of this place.

🍂 An Easy Fall Break at Burton

Sometimes the best Fall Break is the one that doesn’t require a flight—or much planning at all.

This October, make Burton your home base for a few days in the mountains. Apples are ripe, the leaves are at peak color, and there’s plenty to do—from orchards and waterfalls to lake days and fall festivals.

And with The Quiet Season at the Inn At Burton, staying a little longer is even easier: stay two nights and your third night is complimentary at select accommodations. Visit burtoncommunity.com/inn.

DAY 1 — FARM TO MOUNTAIN 🍎
Start at Jaemor Farms for apple picking, c***r and the farm market. Then head to Hillside Orchard Farms for pumpkins, c***r donuts and more fall wandering.

Arrive at Burton for a family hike, pool + hot tub, dinner at Lake Burton Grill and s’mores beneath the stars.

DAY 2 — LAKE + WELLNESS 🎣
Fish Burton’s ponds and streams and enjoy a little time at Spa At Burton. Enjoy TB&J BBQ or walk to Billy Goat Island Pizza Bar for lunch, then spend the afternoon on Lake Burton with a boat from LaPrade’s Marina.

Back at Burton, slow down by the pool before dinner at Bleu Canoe.

DAY 3 — FRESH AIR + FALL FUN 🍁
Breakfast at Batesville General Store, followed by a family hike at Burton, Minnehaha Falls, Black Rock Lake or Amicalola Falls.

Visit an October festival, then return to Burton for an afternoon with nowhere to be. Gather for a family cookout at the Boathouse or dinner at 1967 Lakeside, then end the night around the fire.

DAY 4 — HELEN + PUMPKINS 🎃
Take one last waterfall hike and family ping pong match before heading to Helen for Oktoberfest, lunch, Alpine Mini Golf and the Georgia Mountain Coaster.

On the way home, stop at legendary Burt’s Farm for pumpkins, a hayride and one last taste of fall.

Three nights. Four days. A little mountain air, a little lake time, and plenty of time together.

Start the weekend the Burton way. 🌿

Join us tomorrow morning for a lakeside Pilates workout with thirdspacefitness and Allison Adams. Pre-register at tsfitnesstraining.com.

Then slow things down. Breathe in the cool mountain air, wander along Wildcat Creek Trail, and make your way up to our 150’ waterfall. And because every good mountain morning deserves a little reward, stop by .Marina for ice cream.

The first weekend of October has arrived at Burton. 🍂

The leaves are beginning to turn, the mornings are crisp, and there’s a full lineup of mountain fun waiting just beyond the lake.

Start Saturday with Pilates at Burton, then settle in at the Boathouse for UGA Game Day as the Dawgs take on Vanderbilt. 🏈

Head into Clayton for Foxfire’s Mountaineer Festival — a celebration of Appalachian music, crafts, traditions and good old-fashioned mountain fun. Then round out the weekend with a trip to the farm: pick your own apples at Hillside Orchard Farms, wander through a corn maze, or simply slow down and enjoy the season.

Starting the week slowly.

Warm early fall afternoons. Cool mountain air. A long soak in the lakefront hot plunge beneath the waterfall.

At Burton, wellness can be as simple as stepping outside, slowing down, and giving yourself a little more time.
