About this property
Beautiful Rustic Timberframe Lake House and Boat House Amid Trees
WONDERFUL LAKE HOUSE. THIS HOUSE HAS A 3 NIGHT MINIMUM, AND A MAXIMUM OF 10 GUESTS ALLOWED INCLUDING DAY GUESTS. POWER BOATS AND THE 2 BOAT HOISTS (WHICH ARE LOCATED INSIDE THE BOATHOUSE) ARE EXCLUDED FROM THE RENTAL. The comfortable 3 level timber frame was built in 1999. Sleeps up to 10. Upstairs: one open loft bedroom with double bed; main floor: 1 bedroom with double bed. Downstairs: 1 corner bedroom with 4 bunkbeds, 1 windowless corner BR with 2 single beds , and 1 trundle bed in family room. Please call with any questions or to book.
Huge picture windows overlook the broad sweeping 'treetops'' deck (two beautiful trees artfully growing through deck) then look across the Narrows of the lake way below, and then to forested ridges across the lake.
Old heart pine floors on main level, Berber carpet in loft , and slate floors on lower level main area with heart pine in bedrooms.
Steep pine panelled stairway with heart pine steps up to loft , and another down to lower level.
A slice of Canada in the far Northeast corner of Georgia with mature hardwoods: tall white pines, spruce, hemlock and fir trees . The house is settled on a slope with 100 steps through woods down to boathouse, and close to dirt road behind it. Property includes buffer of over 8 steep forested acres on Mt. Macy across dirt road .
The two story boathouse sits on the lake, complete with a partly covered upper deck plus adjoining dock and swimming cove. Great for entertaining or enjoying cocktails while watching the sun set over the Georgia mountains.
BE ADVISED THAT THERE ARE ALOT OF STEPS (AROUND 100) FROM THE HOUSE DOWN TO THE BOATHOUSE
Boathouse comes with a canoe and 2 kayaks, but power boats and boathouse boat hoists are EXCLUDED. Power boats and ski do's may be rented separately from independent boat rental companies, and attached to dock by two sets of (outside) boatwhips on either side of the boathouse during the rental. The boathouse offers a perfect setting for a hot summer's day swim, relaxing on floats, or fishing off of the dock. The boathouse also offers a slide, fun for young children. There is a tiny beach area in the foliage behind the dock on which the slide is located, where supervised young children can play in shallow water. Otherwise the water is 37 feet deep off the boathouse. .
Birdwatcher's paradise: wide variety of birds come to the feeders, and if you are quiet about an hour before midnight, the fearless FLYING SQUIRRELS will quietly swoop in to the feeders on the broad treetops deck, often in groups.
Other wildlife sighted on the property include an adult Black Bear doing a pirouette on our deck railing to reach the bird feeder, black racers, bullfrogs, water snakes, crows, numerous birds, chipmunks, squirrels, deer , bees and a wide variety of fish , some quite large. But this property is not for hunters.
Cleaning/laundry fee added.
Surcharge for multiple families or large groups to account for extra laundry and bed changing, and additional wear and tear.
Rabun County public accomodations tax IS 5% and State Sales Tax is 7%.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mr. LJ Craig at Ga. Mt. Rentals

We are a happy family with 3 late teen/young adult children, one of whom is married. We live in Atlanta and love the mountains and water. Lake Rabun perfectly combines both---and less than 100 mi door to door from our home. It is like going to another country.
Why they chose this property
Both of us grew up (small towns in Georgia and Connecticut) in nature, with happy memories of family gatherings in beautiful natural settings. We also love to hike. We wanted to recreate this for our children.
What makes this property unique
Little Mt. Macy (named for our beloved dog who now rests at the summit), over 8 steep forested acres across the road , was a deciding factor for us--a verdant buffer over which the moon rises on cold winter nights. The 'treetops' feel of the high open deck overlooking a steep slope to the lake far below, especially at night, is enchanting, especially when the wind blows and sighs through the huge white pines. The dense forest setting is also key. A timber frame, our house was finished by a renowned local builder who provided many delightful finishing touches, like artistic fanlike vents in the eaves. The kitchen and nearby rustic long dining table make entertaining effortless.
