About this property

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!

We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home on Lake Rabun. The house is fun and the hosts provided all kinds of special and convenient extras which were appreciated. The dock, decks and porches were great for gathering. We rented a pontoon from a nearby facility and enjoyed exploring the lake, which was very quiet while we were there. We also visited nearby Minnehaha Falls. A lovely fall weekend.

Outstanding house on Lake Burton with a perfect boat dock. Very comfortable for five adults, each with their own bedrooms ( would also be great for 3-4 couples). Paddle boards and kayaks were a huge plus. Very little boat traffic going by, and the water is deep enough to dive off the boat dock!

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.

Great Spot on Lake Rabun

We have stayed at The Narrowed Inn twice. We love so many things about it....the gorgeous natural light, the well-equipped kitchen, the fun jumping platform. Everything is great! Cheryl and Troy are wonderful hosts! From the fresh flowers and charcuterie board to the personalized house cookies, everything is fabulous. I hope we have another chance to stay at The Narrowed Inn in the coming years. Thank you Cheryl and Troy!

The place was spotless! The kitchen was stocked with a ton of spices for almost any meal. The host was super helpful and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. We also love that the home is in the no wake zone. The multiple levels were great for both early risers and those who wanted to sleep in. The multi-charger stations next to all the beds were a lifesaver for our tech needs. The upper deck on the boathouse was definitely our favorite spot for outdoor entertaining. The sunrises and sunsets were amazing. And for the young and adventurous, the jumping platform on the top deck was used a few times. 15 feet of water and not a problem! We‘ll be back.
