  We had about 5 couples stay at Gordon's house over the weekend for a friend's wedding at the Rabun Pavilion and we absolutely loved the place. There was plenty of space and the fireplaces (both in and out) were such a treat! The beds were very comfortable and the place was very clean. There was firewood outside for us to use also. Gordon had told me that the place was only a 3 min drive to the Pavilion (he was right!) and it was so easy to get back and forth to the wedding festivities. There are restaurants and inns nearby to have food. However, the driveway getting in and out of the place is a little steep - so be careful, especially if it is icy outside! The kitchen was well stocked with everything you needed to cook meals, even spices! The internet worked great up there, but if you have AT&T, forget it - no one's phone had any service, which was kind of a blessing :) I would love to stay at this house during the summer, since it was cold out, but the trees were so beautiful with all the leaves changing. The boat house was relaxing to sit out on in the hammock. The hot tub was especially nice on the cold nights. I would absolutely recommend this place to friends and relatives. In fact, we talked about possibly renting it again next summer with my family. Thank you, Gordon, we had a wonderful time!

  August house was a perfect get away for our family. The porch fireplace was our favorite gathering spot. Although too cool to swim, we enjoyed cruising the lake, gawking at the gorgeous lakefront homes, boathouses and mountains. The kitchen was well equipped with lots of dining space for a large group. We'd love to visit again.

  Owner response: Thanks very much, Cindy. I hope you will be our guests again in the future. Gordon

  We're heading back to August house in early fall for another amazing week. I discovered this home on line last year and absolutely fell in love once we arrived. The photos can't alone describe it's beauty. This is THE place to regenerate. It does a soul good! Pam and Ken

  We have just returned from our third stay at the beautiful August House and can't wait to return next year. The highlights were the 7am skiing trips when we had the lake to ourselves and the evenings after dinner on the back porch. We even built a fire one chilly night! The children loved having the downstairs to themselves. The house is very well stocked with spices, beach towels, etc, which really makes you feel at home. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Lake Rabun and August House.

  We had a great time at this property. It is very well-stocked (towels, spices, the kind of stuff you don't want to pack) and in a great location. The back porch is great for dining or just hanging out, and there aren't too many steps from the boathouse to the main house! We would definitely stay here again.

  Our week on the lake was wonderful. We had some rain, but even that was enjoyable with the covered dock, the wonderful porch with fireplace, and the hot tub. And never have we stayed at a house so well equipped! We lacked for nothing. We've loved Lake Rabun all along, and staying in a lovely house on the lake made us love it even more.

  We had a great time at the "August House'! It was wonderful-very beautiful and very relaxing. A group of 8 girls went up for a weekend get-away from Atlanta and it was the perfect distance-not too far but you definitely felt like you were on vacation! Everyone was very impressed with the size of the house and each of us said we would LOVE to book it for another weekend. The outdoor fireplace on the screened-in porch was the best. If you are nervous about booking a house you haven't seen before, August House is the place to rent because you won't be disappointed.

  We had a wonderful time at "August House" for a week. The house was perfect for our group. All 5 teens had a great time tubing on the lake - we practically had it to ourselves. They loving sunning on the boathouse deck, sitting in the jacuzzi & watching movies on the big screen TV. The adults loved the rocking chairs on the porch & having our meals there..almost felt like being in a treehouse! We had a great time talking, reading & boating. What a slice of heaven - we can't wait to go back!

  Hi Gordon, Just a quick note to say thank you for a wonderful week at August House. Linda, Clare, & I had a great time- perfect weather, beautiful surroundings, and a home that made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and welcome at every turn. I'm a dedicated slalom-ski fanatic, and I couldn't have asked for better conditions- water as smooth as glass every morning- even my driver (Linda) was eager to get up early- no small accomplishment! The kids stayed wet, (and when they weren't, they were asleep), the TV's stayed off, we taught friends to ski for the first time, and we ate well, and often. As much as we hated to leave, we're looking forward to a repeat visit- please let me know if the week is available again next year- we'd love to make it a regular thing. Please pass along our compliments to you wife, as well- and thanks again for letting us share your home! TR
