Thank you for such a lovely place, so glad we found this gem at last minute! We stayed for 2 nights, but enjoyed the nearby restaurants and the view to the Lake. Scotty is an amazing host, left us eggs from their hens which we enjoyed at breakfast! We will definitely return!

We loved our experience at this classic lakehouse. The home was beautifully decorated and retained its charming, historic character. Our family of 4 stayed with 2 other families with children on this trip - The kids loved having their own space upstairs and playing football/soccer in the side yard while the adults enjoyed playing games in front of the gas fireplace in the evening. We also loved looking at the beautiful antiques throughout the home and cooking in a well-stocked kitchen.Easy drive to Tallulah Gorge State Park, Angel Falls, and some other waterfall hikes. We also grabbed pizza from Max's across the street one night, which was a great option to avoid cooking. Would highly recommend this property to groups of friends or families with children!

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!

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.
