Lake Rabun Rental - Classic Waterside Home and Boathouse

Charming, fully renovated lakeside classic. Great for any season.
Located waterside on the jewell of the North Georgia lakes, this lakeside home was completely renovated in 2017 and features everything you're looking for in a lake vacation. Totally rebuilt and upgraded, this 4-bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home features all brand new amenities including a cook's kitchen with granite countertops, tasteful furnishings with designer fabrics, and two king bedroom suites. There are a total of 4 private bedrooms. The two king bedroom suites feature king size beds; the smaller bedrooms include queen size beds. The third story contains a large bonus room with giant smart tv, two built in beds and a queen size sleeper sofa. The room arrangements comfortable sleep 10-12 guests (e.g. 4 couples and 4 children).

The 2-stall boathouse provides a kayak and paddle boards , as well as dock-side boat parking, and there is a public boat ramp just 2 minutes up the lake. If you wish to rent a pontoon boat (kayaks, paddle boards, canoes, etc.) we recommend Bear Gap Outfitters.com, which is located just minutes from the house. They will deliver your boat and provide a brief orientation on boat safety and navigating the lake. There is an extra large deck atop the boathouse with partial shaded coverage and a jump platform.

Additionally, the house features a screened-in porch on the lake level, which spans the length of the sea wall, as well as a screened-in porch on the second level which is ideal for reading.

Besides the many features of the home itself, the location is a huge plus. Being situated in the "Narrows" of Lake Rabun, you will enjoy all the access of the entire lake by boat, kayak, canoe, and paddle board, while still being able to retreat to the no-wake zone of the "Narrows" , escaping the noise and activity of the big basin areas of the lake. Located just 12 miles from Clayton, GA,, and 110 miles north of Atlanta, you will feel a million miles away from stress.

This unique location is just minutes from many of the region's beautiful waterfalls. Both Angel and Minnehaha Falls are within a short hike of the Narrowed Inn. Additionally, world famous Tallulah George is 15 minutes away by car.

Lots of near by wineries to explore as well as wonderful dining in near by Clayton, GA

So, come for boating and skiing, swimming,, paddling, hiking, biking, sight-seeing, or just to get away and relax with a cool drink-- enjoying the magnificent sunsets and sunrises from the quiet of your deck and porch.

Something for everyone of all ages - the Narrowed Inn at Lake Rabun welcomes you!

The five star Narrowed Inn

This place is amazing! Our family has stayed here the last two Thanksgivings and we all love it. It is very spacious and there are six adults and four children. The owners make sure you have everything needed and so kind to work with.

Fantastic property!

This was the third time my family and friends have stayed at this property and we all agree we’d come back again. I do believe I would be disappointed if I stayed anywhere else. The house is very clean and you can see the lake from every room in the house. The owners are extremely responsive and do a great job maintaining the property. I highly recommend.

Relaxing, family vacation on the lake

This is a wonderful "home away from home" and offers great space for gathering family and friends. The proximity of the boat house is so convenient...we enjoyed many snacks and cocktails up top! And being in a "no wake" zone allows for easy swimming, kayaking, etc. We can't wait to return for our next getaway.

Troy & Cheryl are incredible hosts! They have thought of every need and have made the home so comfortable and enjoyable. We stayed here for my mom’s 60th birthday and we had the best time here. The location is serene and peaceful — the proximity to the water and amenities were top notch. We are already trying to plan our next visit!

Wonderful Thanksgiving Stay

We had a wonderful holiday at the Narrowed Inn. The house was extremely well-appointed--have never seen a rental property with such a well-stocked kitchen, which came in so handy for our "away-game" cooking for Thanksgiving. The owners even went out of their way to be sure we had a turkey serving platter! All was extremely comfortable--from the beds to the couches. We loved our stay and hope to be back sometime in the summer so we can enjoy all the fun water toys and the slide from the dock!

Amazing lake retreat!

Our group (two families, four young kids) spent three incredible nights at Narrowed Inn. The home is beautifully decorated, well stocked, and spacious. Louis and Bonny are very accommodating and responsive owners. We spent our trip swimming, fishing, boating, and relaxing on the home's boathouse deck and awesome screened porch. I can't recommend this property enough! We are already planning our return trip!

Absolutely Beautiful

This home is beautiful and great for large framilies. The home was clean and cozy yet spacious with 4 private bedrooms, a loft area with several sleeping options, and several decks. Everything you need is provided. The owners were prompt with answers to questions. Parts of the drive were close to the edge on a curvy road...just take your time...it's so worth it! Can wait to stay again!

Great Family Vacation!

We had a wonderful time at Lake Rabun. Cheryl was beyond accommodating and easy to communicate with. Definitely one of the most well appointed homes we have rented via VRBO. She even left fresh flowers, a charcuterie board, and provided clean sheets for a pack n play at the last minute so my brother and his family didn’t have to haul one from Denver. We loved the layout of the home for multiple families with ages ranging from <1 to 70+. I was a little worried about parking so close to the road at first, but it was completely fine. Great house, great host and wonderful vacation!

Best vacation house ever

I am not great at writing these but the bottom line is this house was amazing. There were six of us on a girls trip. The house was so beautiful decorated with everything you would need. The beds and linens were wonderful. The house is right on the water. We enjoyed coffee and drinks on the decks every day in addition to the kayaks and paddle boards. The house is close enough to enjoy downtown Clayton or the Rabun Hotel. Highly recommended hiring a boat/driver. We also visited some local wineries. We absolutely loved this trip and this house. The hosts were amazing with several extras. 10/10

A wonderful weekend in a wonderful VRBO

The Narrowed Inn just may be my favorite VRBO ever! The house is charming, the kitchen is VERY well equipped, the rooms are spacious, and the waterfront area is great! We have stayed at 3 VRBOs on Lake Rabun. This one is directly on a quiet section of the waterfront with a place to tie up a boat and a jumping platform. My kids loved fishing directly off the dock. My parents loved the screened-in porch area where they could watch the kids play. I loved the upstairs reading porch and the boathouse roof sun deck. My husband loved the ability to tie up the boat easily. I hope to be able to stay at the Narrowed Inn again. It's fantastic!
