Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant

This is our second stay at this hotel. We decided to stay in one of their cottages next to the main building for our 2 day stay. We stayed in one section of a cottage with a separate bedroom and bath. It offered more space from the main building and a little more privacy. It is very rustic appearing and offers a nice shared porch. We enjoyed wine and cheese on the deck both nights. There was no one in the other half of the cottage, so that was nice. There is no TV, which is nice and relaxing. Breakfast is included with your stay at the restaurant. Dinner is optional and provides for a nice dinner experience. The cons; bed was okay and sank in the middle. The small dorm sized refrigerator was not very cold, as I think they just turned it on prior to our arrival, which leaked water by day 2. The room was musty smelling and we were not able to open windows to air out then place and we had a small electric heater to use for the cool evenings. I already mentioned the bed. The shower is rustic and made of stone. The towels smelled of bleach and are rough due to the starch. Something you find at a low end hotel. Our clothes stunk due to the musty smell, even those that sat in the suitcase. A provided coffee pot in the room was nice but the provided coffee was not so good. Providing better towels, bottled water and a mattress that did not sink in the middle would go a long way to provide a nice experience. Airing out the room and providing fresh air would go along way also.

A wonderful time was had by all! The hotel was just as described. Yes the rooms are small and no TVs, but there are wonderful outdoor areas and a TV/game room for all to enjoy. We ate breakfast and dinner there each day. Breakfast is included with room and was very good and filling! Dinner was also excellent from the service to the food. Spent the day shopping in Clayton, which has a nice selection of shops downtown. I’ve spent over seven years in commercial hotels due to heavy work travel and found Lake Rabun to be very refreshing.

The room was small but intimate and comfy. We enjoyed hiking at Tallulah State Park, dining in Clayton, GA as well as walking and shopping on main Street. The staff at the hotel was very helpful and went out of their way to make sure our needs were met. Breakfast was served quickly and was very tasty. It was a great start to a day of hiking. We will be returning soon..

The most beautiful place I’ve ever been! Romantic, excellent restaurant and friendly host(Amanda) And our server was a hoot(Taeler)and quick and funny. Wanted to take her home with us for some belly laughs Again don’t know where I’ve been that can top this 5 star hotel and restaurant

Historical cozy inn with a cabin vibe. The grounds are charming but important to know - there is no view of the lake at all. I wanted to read my book while looking at beautiful Rabun, but not an option, nor anywhere nearby. Breakfast was hearty and good.
