There is no lake view, the room and common areas are clean. The bathrooms off of the lobby stunk all of time. The first room we stay in was right over the kitchen and the smell was horrible, the bed was uncomfortable and the parking lot noise was loud as the staff was leaving for the night. The next morning we moved to a different room. The 2nd room didn’t smell, had a larger bathroom and was quieter. The staff was nice and accommodating. The food was good but nothing special. The food at Max’s across the street is great, large portions. I can say that “I’ve been there, done that” as a historical hotel stay but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend my family or friends. I really wanted to like it but sadly it fell short of my expectations.

We love historical properties and excited to stay at the hotel. Unfortunately, there was an issue with our room and we were moved to the Fish Camp. While the camp is unique, the beds definitely need some upgrades and sadly we had to drive a mile and a half to eat breakfast and dinner at the hotel which made us feel isolated and diminished our experience. Staff were exceptional.
Wonderful stray. Beautiful room with porch. Amenities are very nice. The Dinner and Breakfast was very tasty. I had the trout was so good, and my wife had the Crab cakes just as good. Great stray and service. You will enjoy as much as we did celebrating our 55th Anniversary. Love this place
We loved our stay at the Lake Rabun Hotel and Restaurant. The hotel is so charming and the staff is so helpful and polite.
Our only complaint is the shower in our room, needed to be updated and we did not get fresh towels every day.
I loved the lodge and all the public spaces. It was lovely. I did not like how small our room was. It was almost impossible to get around each other to get ready. Only one small chair. The bed was super comfortable and we slept great. Wish we had better views of the lake. Overall lovely property.
Arrived later than anticipated but check-in was easily pre-arranged. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. Staff was cheerful, friendly and very helpful. The room was nice but a bit cramped with the bed occupying most of the space. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Would definitely stay again.
Sooooo charming and cozy!! In superb condition although over 100 years old! Room and common areas were SO clean!!! Staff lovely.

Our third time staying here. The Rabun room needs some work. Screens fall off. No way to open windows for fresh air. The ceiling fan looked and sounded like it was going to fall off on us so we couldn’t use. Stuffy without fresh air and fan. The first floor water baskets in bathrooms needed to be emptied. The restaurant was great for dinner. Slow service at breakfast.
This was a small but beautiful room. It created a nice romantic get away for my husband birthday. The small town near by had plently of options for dining and shoping, but our main reason for coming to the area was hiking in the state park. It was about a 10 minute drive to the trails.
The staff were wonderful and did everything possible to answer questions and meet any need we had. Breakfast service was quick, the meal was filling and a great way to start a day of hiking.
We enjoyed our stay and loved this historic hotel. The food was very good and the servers were so friendly and accommodating. The only issue was the bed. Though the mattresses was plenty soft you sunk down so far it was like being in a bowl. That was very painful for my back.
