Celebrating our Anniversary.
Wonderful stray. Beautiful room with porch. Amenities are very nice. The Dinner and Breakfast was very tasty. I had the trout was so good, and my wife had the Crab cakes just as good. Great stray and service. You will enjoy as much as we did celebrating our 55th Anniversary. Love this place

We loved our stay at the Lake Rabun Hotel and Restaurant. The hotel is so charming and the staff is so helpful and polite.
Our only complaint is the shower in our room, needed to be updated and we did not get fresh towels every day.

Arrived later than anticipated but check-in was easily pre-arranged. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. Staff was cheerful, friendly and very helpful. The room was nice but a bit cramped with the bed occupying most of the space. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Would definitely stay again.

Fell Short of Expectations
There is no lake view, the room and common areas are clean. The bathrooms off of the lobby stunk all of time. The first room we stay in was right over the kitchen and the smell was horrible, the bed was uncomfortable and the parking lot noise was loud as the staff was leaving for the night. The next morning we moved to a different room. The 2nd room didn’t smell, had a larger bathroom and was quieter. The staff was nice and accommodating. The food was good but nothing special. The food at Max’s across the street is great, large portions. I can say that “I’ve been there, done that” as a historical hotel stay but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend my family or friends. I really wanted to like it but sadly it fell short of my expectations.

I loved the lodge and all the public spaces. It was lovely. I did not like how small our room was. It was almost impossible to get around each other to get ready. Only one small chair. The bed was super comfortable and we slept great. Wish we had better views of the lake. Overall lovely property.

Lovely little oasis
Lovely comfortable place and wish we could have stayed more than one night. Small room but plenty of other areas to sit and relax. Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious frittata and bacon for breakfast.

Our Waterfall chasing journey
We enjoyed our stay and loved this historic hotel. The food was very good and the servers were so friendly and accommodating. The only issue was the bed. Though the mattresses was plenty soft you sunk down so far it was like being in a bowl. That was very painful for my back.

Breathtaking Inn.
This charming inn really had a way of welcoming and inviting it’s guests into the historical context of the area. This stay was the most comforting & breathtaking one I’ve had yet. There were few others staying around the time I was..it was overall pretty quiet offering peace & an appreciation of the ambience surrounding us.
