We had such a lovely time at this cabin! The house is spotlessly clean, and the location is perfect - we felt secluded but still close to everything. The host was amazing and so patient with me when we arrived and I struggled with the door (completely my exhaustion and scatterbrain, nothing to do with the door itself). We were only in town for a couple days for an event but we all discussed planning another trip just to stay and enjoy the area longer.

Every year, a group of friends take a trip to various locations in the mountains of Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, or Georgia. This has been, by far, the best we have stayed at! From a large kitchen and dining area to a roomy outdoor space on the back deck and a fire pit area. Everything here was just great

Great mountain/lake house

We stayed for a couple nights at Rabun Retreat. The house is very conveniently located and easy for a regular SUV to get to. We spent all day Tallulah Gorge and had a great time. Only thing to be aware of is if you plan to work from the house the internet is a bit spotty and might not support remote work. Otherwise great stay and our whole group loved it. Very newly renovated house and owner was super responsive to all questions.

We loved our stay at this Rabun Retreat! Very spacious for our family of five plus grandparents. The best part was the toys our kids were greeted with! They had things to play with all weekend. Updated bathrooms and kitchen. The furniture could use an update and WIFI was very spotty but otherwise we didn’t want for anything the whole weekend!

Awesome for a family

The place was spacious and had all kinds of things to entertain our family. The den with all the toys and the TV was awesome! Tons of extra blankets, soap, etc., and also plenty of cookware in the kitchen. The wi-fi was pretty spotty, it went in and out (it's phone line DSL), but getting on the internet wasn't the point of our vacation. The place is right near Rabun lake, and we went hiking in Tallulah gorge, and at two nearby waterfalls (Angel and Minnehaha). Hillside Orchard Farm was right up the road too. Overall a great place.
