I was unprepared and surprised by the road leading to the property. Once we arrived, it was great. I definitely recommend an SUV. I scraped the bottom of my sedan several times on the eroded areas on the way to the house.
Property was nestled right at lakeside; great dock/boat house. Though property was quite dated; it was very clean and very comfortable. The overall experience is worth the asking price and we would book again. It should be noted: directions are very confusing on Waze and Apple Maps. MUST USE GOOGLE MAPS.
The views from the cabin were spectacular. We thoroughly enjoyed waking up to the sunrise on the lake every morning. It was in a nice and secluded neighborhood and overall a great experience.
Everyone loved being on lake Raven, a fantastic location and a great boat house. It's an older house with some issues as the other reviews have noted and the driveway is terrible but we had a great stay
Loved it. Just a couple things the owner should know. The road is in terrible shape. It was no problem for my truck but my wife's Honda Accord scraped bottom in several places. There was simply no way to avoid it. So we suggest stating this in the description that low slung cars will scrape or fix the road. The TV remote batteries were dead. The second bedroom in had a tee shirt made up in the bed and an opened packet of twizzlers under the bed. Again, we loved the place and overall it was a great experience.
Very nice Accommodation on the lake.
1. To our surprise, The main entrance opened upstairs to five bedrooms—four BDs on the left and one on the right hall looking over the lake from the balcony. One bathroom is connected to two bedrooms, and the second is at the hallway's end. The lower level was a spacious room for many people to relax and enjoy comfortable couches and chairs. The pantry had a washer and dryer, a small restroom, plenty of cleaning products, boating, and safety gear. The kitchen had all the utensils needed and more.
The porch, a spacious outdoor area, was furnished with comfortable chairs and a couch, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. A gas grill was also available for outdoor cooking.
2 At the Water level, there is a small beach with easy access and a boathouse with stairs into the shallow water to stand. Perfect for kids of all ages. The top-level deck had plenty of room to watch a sunset and to jump into the water from the gate.
3. This lake house has normal wear to the furniture, as expected.
4. The air conditioner worked perfectly, but the owner should have the unit serviced. It makes a lot of weird noises outside, but you never hear it inside. You won't need an air conditioner when The temperature is low: 85.
5. Important: only cars with high clearance; the last 25 yards are challenging but fun. RAV4 had no problem... There is plenty of parking for at least four cars
Overall, we thought the house was perfect for our needs.
This house is in a great location, and a great place for a family/ friends to get away for a relaxed, low key weekend or week. Not the fanciest place on the lake, but overall a great value.
Our group of 8 was easily accommodated at this lovely spot on the lake. Boat House is super accessible, not necessarily a given at Rabun. Michael was a great host. Would definitely stay here again.
I enjoy "rustic" lake houses, and I do not expect fine furnishings or a well stocked pantry. But I do expect clean dishes and a full set of silverwear. Almost every baking dish we used was literally dirty (like with food still on it...not just old and worn), and they had almost no spoons. One bathroom was thoroughly clean, but the other had a shower with spiderwebs, mildew, and a tub that took five hours (literally) to drain.
Upsides were were the deck, view, and small beach / shallow water for the kids, and Michael was kind and helpful related to getting into the place and renting a boat. To me, the downsides far, far outweighed the downsides.
The location is excellent. Lake Rabun is absolutely beautiful and the outdoor space at the cabin takes advantage of that. The inside is pretty worn and dated, but overall it was a pretty good place to bring the grandkids.
Picture perfect location. The driveway or the lack of was impossible. After getting down the driveway trying to get out was a beast! But, it was worth it.
This place was perfect for a fun weekend gathering with our friends! The location was tucked away and the dock/deck was just amazing. Was exactly what we were looking for. Michael, the property manager, was fantastic and helped us with everything and we had also booked a pontoon rental with him which was so much fun!! We had a blast and will hopefully be back again!
Our second stay. The lake and the deck over the boathouse make it a great place. House is not without a few minor issues but it as a great living room looking over the lake and a great porch.
If you're looking for Lake Rabun opulence, look elsewhere. This house is an old school, no frills lake house that we found to be reminiscent of our time we spent growing up on the lake in the 80's and 90's.

I wish I could give a better review....
Unfortunately, this house is just unloved. It has a ton of potential but needs a lot of work. Other people commented on the road in and I should have taken the warnings more seriously because it took us a long time to get out because we got stuck whenever we tried to leave.
Overall, I guess it was clean but hard to really say that with any real conviction because the kitchen is just old and gross. The counters are wood and haven't been taken care of so they were sticky. Around the house there are gaping holes for all kinds of bugs and critters to get in (mouse droppings in the drawers) and we found multiple centipedes and "beetles," etc. The AC works GREAT which is good because you couldn't leave windows open at night because more bugs can get in thru ill-fitting screens. Yes, I DO get that it is the mountains but that makes it all the more important for a house to be sealed well.
Every cabinet, drawer and closet is full of old junk and very little of what you need for things like cooking. It didn't have any of the basics like pepper, foil, etc. so if you even think you'll need it, you'd best bring it.
If you're a clean freak, this is definitely not the house for you.
Once you've survived the road in, the location is great. It is on a small cove with a little beach area which was great for the kids to play and hunt for treasures, etc. The boat house was nice for hanging out but watch out for the wasps nest.
The property management were very helpful and friendly and that was a plus for sure!
