About this cabin rental
WONDERFUL LAKE HOUSE. THIS HOUSE HAS A 3 NIGHT MINIMUM, AND A MAXIMUM OF 10 GUESTS ALLOWED INCLUDING DAY GUESTS. POWER BOATS AND THE 2 BOAT HOISTS (WHICH ARE LOCATED INSIDE THE BOATHOUSE) ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE RENTAL. The comfortable 3 level timber frame was built in 1999. Sleeps up to 10. Upstairs: one open loft bedroom with double bed; main floor: 1 bedroom with double bed. Downstairs: 1 corner bedroom with 4 bunkbeds, 1 windowless corner BR with 2 single beds , and 1 trundle bed in family room. Please call with any questions or to book.
Huge picture windows overlook the broad sweeping 'treetops'' deck (two beautiful trees artfully growing through deck) then look across the Narrows of the lake way below, and then to forested ridges across the lake.
Old heart pine floors on main level, Berber carpet in loft , and slate floors on lower level main area with heart pine in bedrooms.
Steep pine panelled stairway with heart pine steps up to loft , and another down to lower level.
A slice of Canada in the far Northeast corner of Georgia with mature hardwoods: tall white pines, spruce, hemlock and fir trees . The house is settled on a slope with 100 steps through woods down to boathouse, and close to dirt road behind it. Property includes buffer of over 8 steep forested acres on Mt. Macy across dirt road .
The two story boathouse sits on the lake, complete with a partly covered upper deck plus adjoining dock and swimming cove. Great for entertaining or enjoying cocktails while watching the sun set over the Georgia mountains.
BE ADVISED THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF STEPS (AROUND 100) FROM THE HOUSE DOWN TO THE BOATHOUSE
Boathouse comes with a canoe and 2 kayaks, but power boats and boathouse boat hoists are EXCLUDED. Power boats and ski do's may be rented separately from independent boat rental companies, and attached to dock by two sets of (outside) boatwhips on either side of the boathouse during the rental. The boathouse offers a perfect setting for a hot summer's day swim, relaxing on floats, or fishing off of the dock. The boathouse also offers a slide, fun for young children. There is a tiny beach area in the foliage behind the dock on which the slide is located, where supervised young children can play in shallow water. Otherwise the water is 37 feet deep off the boathouse. .
Birdwatcher's paradise: wide variety of birds come to the feeders, and if you are quiet about an hour before midnight, the fearless FLYING SQUIRRELS will quietly swoop in to the feeders on the broad treetops deck, often in groups.
Other wildlife sighted on the property include an adult Black Bear doing a pirouette on our deck railing to reach the bird feeder, black racers, bullfrogs, water snakes, crows, numerous birds, chipmunks, squirrels, deer , bees and a wide variety of fish , some quite large. But this property is not for hunters.
Cleaning/laundry fee added.
Surcharge for multiple families or large groups to account for extra laundry and bed changing, and additional wear and tear.
Rabun County public accomodations tax IS 5% and State Sales Tax is 7%.

This property is in a beautiful location on the lake. There are 130 steps from the boathouse to the house. The lake is beautiful and quiet, even on the weekends this time of year. We enjoyed canoeing on the lake in the mornings and going down to watch the sunset over the hill in the evening. The location is close to a number of hikes, waterfalls and trails around the lake and others 30-45 minutes away.
We were given the wrong lock box code and home instructions, so checking in was a challenge. The property manager LJ, provided excellent problem resolution, communication and follow up. By the second evening the issues were corrected and we were offered a refund for the first night to make it right. Excellent management and customer service by LJ. The house would benefit from a deep cleaning, we expected more for the price.
We will return to this property again. It checked off all the boxes for us. We enjoyed 10 days disconnecting from the world, enjoying the quiet and tranquility of the property, the lake and being surrounded with nature.

We had such a wonderful time escaping for a few days to Lake Rabun and enjoying this beautiful home. We really appreciated being able to use the paddle boards and kayak to get out on to the water. Our boys loved the slide as well. We hope to go back again.

Charming, winding mountain gravel road took us to this cozy home perched on the ridge overlooking beautiful Lake Rabun. Our family was very comfortable here. Would love to stay again in the Spring!

We vacationed in this beautiful Lake Rabun home for a week. The timber house is spacious, beautiful, and well-appointed!!! Plenty of porches, decks and outdoor spaces. This home is in a lovely location on the lake. Our family and friends enjoyed the boathouse and swim dock with its slide, as well as the canoes and kayaks available on the dock. Plenty of swimming and boating for everyone. Glen Ella Springs Restaurant is a 5 to 10 minute drive, and Minnehaha Falls is a short drive and hike as well. Although it rained a few times while we were there, there were plenty of games, activities, and books to read about the history of the Lake and Rabun County, as well as area wildlife. We would happily return for another stay!
