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. There is a water slide on the dock.

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!

The five star Narrowed Inn

This place is amazing! Our family has stayed here the last two Thanksgivings and we all love it. It is very spacious and there are six adults and four children. The owners make sure you have everything needed and so kind to work with.

Slice of heaven!

Troy & Cheryl are incredible hosts! They have thought of every need and have made the home so comfortable and enjoyable. We stayed here for my mom’s 60th birthday and we had the best time here. The location is serene and peaceful — the proximity to the water and amenities were top notch. We are already trying to plan our next visit!

Best vacation house ever

I am not great at writing these but the bottom line is this house was amazing. There were six of us on a girls trip. The house was so beautiful decorated with everything you would need. The beds and linens were wonderful. The house is right on the water. We enjoyed coffee and drinks on the decks every day in addition to the kayaks and paddle boards. The house is close enough to enjoy downtown Clayton or the Rabun Hotel. Highly recommended hiring a boat/driver. We also visited some local wineries. We absolutely loved this trip and this house. The hosts were amazing with several extras. 10/10

A wonderful weekend in a wonderful VRBO

The Narrowed Inn just may be my favorite VRBO ever! The house is charming, the kitchen is VERY well equipped, the rooms are spacious, and the waterfront area is great! We have stayed at 3 VRBOs on Lake Rabun. This one is directly on a quiet section of the waterfront with a place to tie up a boat and a jumping platform. My kids loved fishing directly off the dock. My parents loved the screened-in porch area where they could watch the kids play. I loved the upstairs reading porch and the boathouse roof sun deck. My husband loved the ability to tie up the boat easily. I hope to be able to stay at the Narrowed Inn again. It's fantastic!
