Burial site of Tyrus (Ty) Raymond Cobb in his home town of Royston, Georgia. Ty Cobb is widely regarded as one of, if not the best, baseball player of all time.

Nicknamed The Georgia Peach, Cobb was an American Major League Baseball outfielder. He was born in rural Narrows, Georgia. Cobb spent 22 seasons with the Detroit Tigers, the last six as the team's player-manager, and finished his career with the Philadelphia Athletics. In 1936 Cobb received the most votes of any player on the inaugural Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, receiving 222 out of a possible 226 votes (98.2%); no other player received a higher percentage of votes until 1992. In 1999, editors at the Sporting News ranked Ty Cobb 3rd on their list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players".

Cobb is widely credited with setting 90 MLB records during his career. He still holds several records as of the end of the 2016 season, including the highest career batting average .367 and most career batting titles with 12. He retained many other records for almost a half century or more, including most career hits until 1985 with 4,191, most career runs with 2,246 until 2001, most career games played (3,035) and at bats (11,434) until 1974, and the modern record for most career stolen bases (892) until 1977. He still holds the career record for stealing home (54 times) and for stealing second base, third base, and home in succession (5 times), and as the youngest player ever to compile 4,000 hits and score 2,000 runs. Cobb ranks fifth all-time in number of games played and committed 271 errors, the most by any American League (AL) outfielder.

Cozy Pet Friendly Cottage, 2 story Deep Water Dock - bring your boat!

10/10 Excellent

"This is our 3rd time here. We love the location. Very seclude and quiet cove. Only 10 minutes ride to the marina where we rent a pontoon boat. Space to park the boat and enjoy the dock. We caught tons of fish this time around. We plan to be back."

New finished lower level. Peaceful 5-bedroom lake front cabin easy walk to lake.

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of 10 and our weenies rented this house for a week and we weren't disappointed! Plenty of space for us to hang together and get space away from each other. We brought a TV with us (there's only 1 upstairs) and volleyball net to occupy the kids when we weren't fishing or swimming off the dock. Kitchen has anything you need to cook big meals. We hung out on both porches a lot! My nephew loved the little bed out there. Dogs enjoyed the yard and running around the lake. Upstairs was homey and cozy, downstairs was nicely done. (They are double beds so if you're bigger people, you may not want to share a bed lol) very quiet neighborhood, only heard a couple cars when we were outside, while inside you could hear birds in the AM and crickets in the pm. Place was clean and wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!"

10/10 Excellent

"This place is in the perfect spot. Not far from the interstate. The cove was quiet. The water was clear. The house was shaded with TONS of outdoor space. The owners were super nice and helpful going above and beyond. The place is small. Perfect for a couple or a family with small or few kids. The only thing that was noticeable was the water pressure was really low. It was hard to shower. It was stated it needed to be low due to the piles installed. Other than that perfect stay. "
