Hermosa casa en el lago Rabun!

I am an Atlanta native and graduated from The Lovett School. I earned my undergraduate and master's degrees at Georgia State University. Currently, I own a small retail store, Belles Choses (French for beautiful things) in Atlanta. My husband was a Mississippi native, but he moved to Atlanta in 1973 to start a Colo-rectal surgery practice, after graduating from Tulane Medical School. We were married in 1976 FOR 45 years and have four children who have wonderful memories of spending summers and holidays at Lake Rabun. TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND THE "PREMIER HOST"-CATETORY WITH VRBO--I HAVE TO ACCEPT 90 PERCENT OF REQUESTED BOOKINGS TO QUALIFY. IT IS NOT LIKELY I WILL DO THIS SINCE I ACCEPT RESERVATIONS FROM FRIENDS AND PREVIOUS RENTERS OUTSIDE VRBO. ALSO, I TRY TO FIND OUT IF OUR HOUSE IS A GOOD FIT. I DO NOT ACCEPT EVERY REQUEST. IF MY INFORMATION SAYS MAXIMUM OF 12 PEOPLE AND YOU ASK FOR 16, I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE RESERVATION. PLEASE READ OUR INFORMATION CAREFULLY. I ALSO RESERVE SOME TIME FOR OUR OWN FAMILY.

Lake Rabun offers the wonderful opportunity to boat, ski, or tube on friendly water just big enough to do all of that, but just small enough not to get lost! Our children grew up loving trips to this house and enjoyed entertaining friends from pre-teens into adulthood. This is a place that offers solitude when you need it, activity when you want it, and relaxation at it's best. Do as much or as little as you want. Go tubing or water skiing til your muscles ache, or just enjoy a simple slow crawl around the lake admiring all nature has to give. Feed the ducks from the dock. Sip a glass of wine on the top of the boathouse at sunset. Prop your feet up and read a good book. Celebrate an important birthday. Go to sleep with the windows open listening to the crickets and frogs, or close them and sleep in total, blissful, quiet. Cook as many pancakes as your belly can hold. Or don't cook anything and go up the street about a mile to one of Georgia's finest restaurants for brunch. Take a trip to Clayton, and enjoy one of the few remaining soda fountains in the country. Explore the antique shops and art galleries. Come back to peace and quiet for your last night. Cry because it's time to go back home.

This is a house that has it all. It has 6 bedrooms. It's close to the marina, the main highway, and to many good restaurants. There is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy your privacy. Or you can enjoy the company of family or good friends while grilling a steak and reminiscing about special times together. You are only steps away from the water. There are no huge stairways to get from the house to the dock. So if you forget your suntan lotion when you get to the dock, no big deal. It's beautifully decorated with comfort as a priority and all the little touches you will love, like a warming drawer, multiple coffee makers, luxury linens, multiple places to nap, maid service, and plenty of entertainment if the weather prevents you from enjoying the outdoors. You'll never want to rent anywhere else again! Be sure when looking at other properties that you understand whether there are multiple steps to get to the boathouse, whether the house is on the lake or just "near" the lake, whether the house is on the "paved road" side or the "dirt road" side. The "dirt road" side takes much longer to get to from the main road.
