Location: Lake Rabun, Northeast Mountains, Georgia, USA (10 minutes from US 441, Just South of Clayton, GA)

Accommodations:  House, 5 Bedrooms, 4 Baths (Sleeps 11)

'August House' is where memories are made on Lake Rabun, known for its cool, clear water, fed by mountain streams. Summer evenings are comfortable and sometimes cool, and fall offers a colorful display unique to the region.

This 3000 square feet home is located on a quiet cove and is fully furnished and equipped and beautifully decorated. On three levels, 'August House' features five spacious bedrooms, four full baths, a covered deck with outside fireplace, and a boathouse for relaxing and entertaining. Bring your own boat or Jet Ski. No Smoking and No Pets, no exceptions.

900 acre Lake Rabun was built in 1915 by Georgia Power, therefore many lakeside residences in the area have historic appeal. 'August House' is a modern home, built in 1993, with everything included. Just bring your toothbrush!
A shoreline 'cocktail cruise' is an experience in itself, not only for the natural beauty, but as well for viewing many of the mountain mansions that dot the shoreline. But Lake Rabun is a friendly place, where it's customary to wave at every passing boat.

  • 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

  • Four friends and I rented August House for a "girls only" weekend reunion, and had a blast in the Van Mols' beautiful home. August House is so thoughtfully designed--large enough to accommodate a crowd yet cozy-feeling. It is tastefully and comfortably furnished, and there are numerous "hanging-out" spaces, indoors and out--whether one wishes to hang out with others or have a little private time. I would certainly consider renting the house again in the future, and would highly recommend it to others.

  • Absolute peace, relaxation and tons of laughs at this incredible property. Intiment enough to be like home, large enough to get away from others in a large group for some private time. We sat in front of the fireplaces the entire weekend and even joined the "Polar Bear Club" with a refreshing dip into the cold, blue waters of Lake Rabun. If the owners will have us back, we'll be there sooner than later. Thank you very much Mr. and Mrs. Van Mol!
