Incredibly charming historic cottage close to lake (but no direct access), perfect for large group of family/friends and accessible for those with mobility issues. Easy walk to Lake Rabun hotel, Max’s Lakeside and marina. Be sure to book boat rental ahead. Close to great hiking.

Lovely Time at the Bend

This property is beyond charming and had everything we needed. From the books, records, and memorabilia within to the sound of the stream immediately adjacent to the house it was by far the most interesting and delightful stay we've had. It's location overlooking the lake and the meandering Lake Rabun Road added to its appeal!We've look forward to our return.

Landmark House

My family celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at The Bend. Everyone loved this beautifully restored and decorated old Lake Rabun house. The dining room was the perfect place for a family dinner celebration with the house’s George Harrison LP playing in the background. We explored the house and property with wonder, slept well, ate out, and spent a day boating on the lake without ever getting in a car. We loved hanging out on the patio in front of the house. At night the moon lights were magical. It is a special place.

Great Experience

This house was classic "Lake Rabun" with tons of character and the location can't be beat. It was perfect for our groups consisting of two families with 4 kids between the age of 1 and 6. The hosts were very reachable and eager to please, but we didn't have to bug them much because everything was so well prepared in advance for our stay. We hope to stay here again next summer.

Amazing historic property

We loved this amazing historic vacation property. Despite its age the house looks great and has every amenity you can think of. The house comes with a grand kitchen and large dining room that can accommodate a large humber of people. We also loved that there are three king bedrooms in addition to a perfect 'kids room' with 5 beds (incl. 2 bunks). The house is fairly close to the road but Lake Rabun Road is pretty quiet, so we didn't have an issue with that. It's close to the towns of Lakemont and Clayton as well as to Tallulah River Gorge, Minnehaha Falls and Angel Falls.

Great family getaway

The house was outstanding for my family. Very accommodating bedrooms and living space and you can’t beat the setting of a mountain lake. We enjoyed the living room and kitchen areas, the outdoor fire pit and stream flowing through the property. There were several great hiking options close by as well as easy access to Clayton and even the charming little downtown Lakemont area. Scotty was a great host and we would absolutely stay here again.

Great Getaway at Lake Rabun

This is a lovely property and a beautiful area! The house is very cozy and perfectly in keeping with a North Georgia getaway. Our family of five had plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. We had friends staying nearby so we didn't use the outdoor space much, but it was great with a firepit and lots of chairs. And the owners were so kind to leave us some delicious eggs from their hen house! The house is a short easy walk to Louie's pizza and a short drive to Clayton where there are some really fun restaurants. We had a few communication issues on check-in, but that was likely due to my own technology challenges. Overall, we highly recommend the house and the area!

Beautiful property

We stayed here for our wedding which was held across the street at the Pavilion at Lake Rabun. The property was beautiful and meet all of our needs. I loved the uniqueness and the coziness to the house. We had a small issue getting the code when checking in, as there is limited/ no cell service at the property so make sure you get this info in advance. Overall great house and good experience working with the owners.

A slice of heaven

This property is perfect especially if you are looking for an authentic early 1900’s lake house experience. The house inside is beautiful old wood paneling with hard wood floors. Full of antiques and interesting curios, beautiful paintings, lots of books and never ending surprises. The bedrooms are beautifully fitted with sumptuous beds and high end linens. Lots of windows that let in the natural light and beautiful mountain lake scenery. The bunk room is so lovely with its own sitting area and gas heater. Many games and books for kids were provided. ( I was with with 3 old grammar school friends and we actually fought over who would get the bunk room.) The kitchen is a dream with high end appliances and enough dishes, cookery and flatware to feed a small army. The gas range was amazing. There are lovely places to sit outside and with the babbling brook that runs right by the house, you will want to partake no matter the weather. This is truly a unique house that will make you want to never leave. Nothing has been forgotten for your comfort.

Absolute Perfection! We couldn’t have enjoyed our stay any more.

This place was an absolute joy to stay and enjoy. First, everything in the house was neat, tidy, and clean. I felt like I could use any dishware or pan without having to pre-wash. The layout of the house allowed everyone to have a good time but also to have some individual space for themselves. The house truly is a lake house retreat! You have wonderful views from every bedroom in the house. And the screen-in porch that runs the full length of the house is just lovely. The homeowners were easy to get in touch with and extremely helpful with any questions we had.
