Review of Lake Rabun Hotel

For our Anniversary this year my husband wanted a cabin and a hot tub.. I wanted something that didn't mean me cleaning and cooking the whole weekend, Lake Rabun Hotel was a sweet little compromise.. He got his nice rustic cabin feel (no hot tub) and I got a free gourmet breakfast for two days and delicious dinner every night (no dishes)! That Friday was rainy and cold so being greeted by a cozy fire as you walked in the door was dreamy! The downstairs has the feel of walking into your own Cabin on the Lake, you feel right at home. The Decor was perfect for the style of the house and was a bonus because you felt transplanted back in time. Looking at the pictures on the website your room looks extremely small...but although it was small it was bigger than expected which was a relief. Cozy and Lovely the bed was a queen size dose of fluffy and perfect for a weekend of snuggling. The walls are thin and the white noise machine was a tad bit annoying but its and older home and there is not much you can do about that...we put on some lovely oldies and called it even. I would like to add there was little to no noise except at night when the restaurant was in full swing. We were not really bothered by that. We sat on the beautiful balcony, sipped some champagne and people watched. The bathroom was charming. A huge shower with a mixture of modern and rustic finishing. Our room had a umm view of the parking lot..but your in the mountains surrounded by trees and a partial view of the lake... you get over that real quick..Did I mention the food... when I read a free gourmet breakfast was included each day of your stay... I wasn't ready... Best Breakfast ever!! They even took note of my dietary restrictions while I was making my reservation and each morning specialized my breakfast to accommodate me! In fact I noticed that they were very accommodating to many of the guests different dietary restrictions and allergies. Dinner both nights was fabulous and before it goes off the menu the the chef's burger of the month with candied sriracha bacon is a must have! If you are looking a quick getaway The Lake Rabun Hotel is perfect... I would definitely recommend you give them a chance with realistic, knowing expectations! This is an historical, charming BandB with updated modern conveniences and that's what you will get and that's what you have to want! A big Thank you to the staff who are like your personal tour guides and concierges! Very sweet and nice and made the stay pleasant and fun! Looking forward to our next stay!
