Enjoy the magic of the Northeast Georgia Mountains when you escape to our spacious, 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom home on Lake Rabun in Lakemont, GA. This idyllic, two-story property boasts 2 king beds, 2 twin beds, 1 bunk bed and 1 full bed… plenty of room for anyone looking to relax and make a lifetime of memories. Perfectly located in the quiet “Narrows” area of the lake, guests will find Green Acres the perfect home base as they swim, boat, relax on the top of the boathouse (immediately adjacent to the main house – no stairs!) or lakeside on the dock, or explore the beauty of one of the many nearby hiking trails and waterfalls. Fall in love with Lake Rabun as you enjoy the many creature comforts (AC, WiFi, smart TVs, wood fireplace, washer/dryer), thoughtful amenities (linens, towels, fully stocked kitchen) and pristine accommodations at Green Acres, where we are sure you’ll want to return, time and time again!

(As Green Acres is a new property to VRBO, you can see our 5-star reviews for our sister property Little Lakemont (VRBO #980532) to see our experience renting lakefront properties.)

Green Acres is a recently refreshed home, located less than two hours north of Atlanta, and sleeps up to 10 guests, ideal for a family vacation, weekend getaway or a girls' or guys' trip. Green Acres is neat as a pin, tastefully and comfortably furnished, and is spacious enough to accommodate a crowd, if needed, while still offering cozy privacy to its treasured guests. Easily accessible year-round via paved Lake Rabun Road (trust us, this is a perk!), Green Acres has ample parking and no daunting flights of stairs to the house, boathouse or the lake (perk! perk! perk! perk!).

You and your guests can enjoy the peaceful calm of “The Narrows” and its no-wake zone, making swimming and water recreation worry-free. Bring your own boat (the Lake Rabun Beach boat ramp is just a stone's throw away) or rent a boat via Michael at Lake Rabun Boat Rentals (706-782-4438) or Hall's Boat House (706-782-4981) and – with either option – you can tie up right at our boathouse.

Speaking of the boathouse – where we bet you’ll spend the majority of your time – ours is partially covered so you can either sunbathe or relax in the shade, where we have a porch swing, dining tables and plenty of seating. Back at the house, take advantage of the climate-controlled sunroom, the wraparound porch and the charcoal grill, all with unobstructed views of Lake Rabun.

As you enter Green Acres, you’re welcomed immediately by the vaulted ceilings over the combined living and dining areas, which have been – as has the entire house – freshly painted from top to bottom. Cook (or simply eat) to your heart’s content with all the pots, pans, plates and utensils one could need. The kitchen features an oven and stove, microwave, toaster oven, drip coffee machine, Keurig, dishwasher, blender, hand-mixer, garbage disposal and refrigerator with ice machine.

In the off chance that you’re not taking all your meals on the boathouse, our indoor dining table seats eight, and there are two barstools at the kitchen peninsula – giving you tons of options for family dinners or game nights (and we have a well-stocked closet with board games and puzzles).

If a quick load of laundry is on your agenda, a washer and dryer is conveniently located on the main floor next to the kitchen.

The spacious family room features a new couch and loveseat and a comfy, upholstered armchair, all of which are working hard to divide their time between the entertainment center (stocked with a 55-inch smart TV) and the floor-to-vaulted-ceiling stone, wood-burning fireplace.

The two king bedrooms are also located downstairs. One is next to the house’s “go-to” full bathroom (shower/tub combo), while the primary suite is on the far corner of the house, offering quiet seclusion via a spacious bathroom (soaking tub, separate shower), a TV, a “conversation corner” with two upholstered chairs, a desk if work must be done, and a private, screened porch for quiet moments overlooking the lake.

Head upstairs – where you can overlook the living area and the lake – for the other two spacious bedrooms and adjacent Jack-and-Jill bathroom. One features twin beds handcrafted from reclaimed barn lumber, and the other has a full bed and – in true Lake Rabun fashion – bunk beds!

All bedrooms have ceiling fans, plenty of closet space and storage, and the comfy beds are nicely appointed with new linens and quilts. All bathrooms are stocked with fresh towels as well.

There will be no need to leave Green Acres once you arrive, but there’s plenty of exploring at your fingertips, should you feel compelled to wander. Enjoy Angel Falls (you can walk from our driveway to the trail head), Minnehaha Falls (a short drive to the trail head, just across the lake from Green Acres), Tallulah Gorge and Black Rock Mountain State Parks, all offering hiking trails and pristine views. Hall’s Marina, Lake Rabun Inn and Restaurant and Max's Lakeside are a short drive (or boat ride) away; Rabun Beach Grocery is nearly next door (for restocking refreshments, gas for your boat or an ice cream treat or two for the kids...); historic Lakemont beckons with its quaint shopping area, art gallery and café; plenty of creature comforts (Wal-Mart, Ingle's Grocery Store, Home Depot, fast food ) are available in the nearest city – Clayton, Georgia; and Downtown Clayton is booming with boutiques and amazing restaurants.

We consider Lake Rabun our favorite place on Earth, and we respectfully offer its charm and hospitality to you as you plan your next mountain retreat. Please also visit the listing for our sister property, Little Lakemont (VRBO #980532), located right next door to Green Acres.
