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. ##### David A.

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! ##### Mac M.

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. ##### Justin B. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Tim H. 20 Jul 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Really nice place but not as clean as we would have liked The house was very nice and we found everything as advertised. The area is beautiful and although the house is very close to the lake it feels very secluded as it's set back in the woods away from all the other houses. My only complaint was in regards to cleanliness. The kitchen and most surfaces were clean, but there was pet hair all over the place. The king bed had clean sheets, but we had to wash all the other bed sheets as they had hair in them and did not look clean. Also, there were multiple pieces of furniture that if we sat in them our clothes would be covered in pet hair when we got up. The owner was responsive and provided all the details we needed up front. Would have rated 5 stars except for the cleanliness/pet hair. ##### Tim H. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### benjawan b. 17 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Good property but WiFi is not reliable The property is well maintained and clean. Good for family relaxations. There are a couple review mention that the wifi is the issue. so I have contacted the host to check and inform her/him that I will be working remotely during my stay for a week and need reliable internet. The host confirm that there is no issue. Just to find out after the arrival that I couldn't use the wifi to work there for the whole 3 days and have to submit urgent PTO. My husband also missed a video call for job interview. The TV also lost connection several times. My son have a hard time with the TV. I reached out to the host. The host refunded a little money for the inconvenience . And later on we got additional charge for fee for extra cleaning because of a dog paw print on sheet. I have been travel and stay at many rental places with pets, I had paid extra for pet to stay but I have not get extra charge for cleaning due to pets because we usually make sure that our pest do not mess up things. I personally not going to stay at this place again. ##### benjawan b.

The master bathroom was luxury, the open kitchen was a favorite gathering place, and the fireplace upstairs was perfect for morning coffee. Something to add, the water pressure was fantastic, and the hot water was hot. The tips and directions Cindy provided were very helpful, and she had the Lodge stocked with everything we needed. There was so much to see and do, every day was a new place to discover. It was a wonderful two weeks and would definitely stay again. ##### Penny L C.

This property was great for our stay. Plently of space for 6 adults and 1 dog. The fenced in area for the dog was too wooded for us to use and was steeper than anticipated but we enjoyed walks close to the house and the many close trails. Great proximity to the lake as well as Tallulah Gorge and Clayton restaurants and vineyards! Would recommend this house for future guests! ##### Hannah M.

Modern bathrooms. Plenty of space for working, resting, reading, entertaining. Great amenities, gas grill on the deck, and separate laundry area. Close to Tallulah Falls and Clayton and a short walk to Lake Rabun. Beautiful area. Master bed is very firm and pillows rather flat and part of the couch sags. Check in and check out easy.

We were able to relax comfortably at the house on lazy or rainy days, and use it as the perfect launch point for all our North Georgia adventures. The hosts have worked hard to make it really feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend! ##### Amy W.

The location was great, the house was very beautiful, especially the kitchen and bathrooms, and our kids really enjoyed playing with the toys in the living room. The host was very communicative upon arrival. However there were a few drawbacks: -there was a distinctly unpleasant smell throughout the downstairs. We cracked a window to try to air it out, but the smell remained. -the couch in the upstairs area sagged really bad and was uncomfortable for my husband and I. - the AC/heat units in each of the rooms (there's no central heating/air) took a little bit of fiddling to figure out - it would have been nice to have a guide for those. - the fenced in area for the dogs was very difficult to get to. There was barely a path to it out back and no way to reach it under the porch of the house although there was a gate. Also, I would not have felt comfortable letting my dogs roam back there anyway because it is very steep and full of forest debris. We did feel a bit rushed to get out of the house. What I assume was the cleaning crew arrived about 30 mins before actual checkout time and were sitting in the driveway as we packed up to leave. I did communicate with the host beforehand to say we'd be leaving around checkout time, 11am. ##### Jessica L. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2022
