Amazing!

Everything we wanted, privacy, the beautiful gardens, and the woods!! Since the weather was warm we really enjoyed the screened in porch! Very well appointed except I could find the iron and needed to touch up suits and dress. But popped them in the dryer for a few minutes. We can not thank you enough for a beautiful home to calm our souls. Plenty of board games too! We will be back!

Paradise Away from Everything

My friend and I were visiting Lake Rabun for a wedding. The festivities were at the Lake Rabun Inn and the Lake Rabun Pavillion. The location of this property is ideal for all things Lake Rabun. The property was clean, and truly a unique place where you could truly get away. We have talked about coming back to this property to stay just because! Amazing, amazing time!

Perfectly charming bridal cabin!

My husband and I stayed here on our wedding night and it was absolutely perfect. We loved the vintage decor - there was so much attention to detail. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Rachel was very communicative and flexible. We wish we could've stayed for a week!

Great stay

We absolutely loved this house. It is very cozy and secluded, the beds are comfy and the kitchen has everything you need to cook. We enjoyed our nights by the fire and morning coffees on the patio, the little window nook was my wife's favorite place to read. Everything was clean, an abundance of extra towels, napkins and sheets. We would've loved to stay longer, but couldn't because we had to work and the Internet was a little slow.

Perfect cabin in the woods

This was the ideal home for a quick weekend getaway in the mountains. It was so peaceful and comfortable. We loved the screened in porch and watching our little “mountain munchkins” explore. It was a great place to take a family of all ages. We hope to visit again soon.

Perfect cabin

The cabin is so nice. The back porch at night is a dream. I love the woods and natural landscape. It appears to not have toxic chemicals sprayed in the yard and nontoxic cleaning supplies were available. We also loved having fresh well water. We also enjoyed seeing wildlife (deer).

Quiet Solitude

Very close to Lake Rabun which is where we wanted to be. The amenities throughout the cabin were top quality. It’s furnished with comfortable furniture & decorated with many antiques. The most extensive collection of books & games I’ve ever seen (a vintage Tinkertoy set!). We loved the porches front & back and the fire pit was excellent and ample wood has been provided. It’s a unique cabin in the woods that reminded me of rural homes of my childhood.

Adorable little gem.

If you are searching the cabin rentals for a nice quiet place don't overlook this one. My husband, daughter and I were looking for a place to get away from civilization for awhile and this cabin really fit the bill. It is tucked back from the road on a beautiful and quiet piece of wooded property. It feels secluded but yet is close to hiking, Lake Rabun and a short jaunt to Tallulah Falls. Rachel was a great host with clear communication. She even checked in with us when she heard there was a power outage in the area. The cabin is adorable, very clean and well stocked with needed ammenities.

What a lovely older cabin nestled into the woods, with a beautiful wood interior, and historical decor. It takes you back in time. Was a perfect place for us to explore Lake Rabun and Tallulah Gorge from. Would gladly come back and spend a whole week here.

This Charming Cabin

The cabin is very well appointed with everything you need for a relaxing vacation: comfortable beds, fluffy towels, books, games, and porches with plenty of seating and great views of the property. It's full of thoughtful little touches throughout that show how loved and cared for it is by Rachel and her family. Our family will definitely be back to There in a Wood!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

I’m currently an Atlanta resident (but I grew up in Tampa, Fl) who loves to travel. Coming to Rabun county feels like visiting another world.

Why they chose this property

The house is my parents’, they fell in love with the N Georgia mountains and decided to put down roots years ago.

What makes this property unique

You feel like you’ve gone back in time when you enter the antiques-filled cabin, it’s like an English country cottage. It’s such a great place to unplug and unwind.
