Lakemont, Georgia
Located on a rare, FLAT, FENCED-in lakefront lot on Lake Rabun - great for children of all ages - “Little Lakemont” is a two-story, family-owned home in the scenic Northeast Georgia Mountains. Bring your bathing suits and a carefree attitude to this quiet section of the lake, where your only task is to relax and enjoy the beauty that surrounds.
This immaculate home, located less than two hours north of Atlanta, sleeps up to 9 guests, ideal for a family vacation, weekend getaway or a girls' or guys' trip. Little Lakemont is neat as a pin, tastefully and comfortably furnished, and offers the ability 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!), Little Lakemont has ample parking and no daunting flights of stairs to the house, boathouse or the lake (perk! perk! perk! perk!).
Our large FENCED-IN back lawn is perfect for running around playing tag, chasing fireflies, roasting marshmallows in the in-ground fire-pit or squaring off in a game of Giant Jenga, Horseshoes or Corn Hole (all provided!) under the shade of the Sycamore trees that border the lake. Relax on the wrap-around screened-in porch – where we bet you’ll spend the majority of your time – with unobstructed views of our boathouse and Lake Rabun. You and your guests enjoying the peaceful calm of “The Narrows” and its no-wake zone, making swimming and water recreation worry-free. Explore the water via our 3-person, 17-foot canoe and 1-person, 15-foot kayak, or stay grounded and make use of our charcoal grill and the boathouse's lounge chairs, dining table and chairs and porch swing.
Speaking of the boathouse, ours is partially covered so you can sunbathe or relax in the shade. We have two boat slips, so feel free to bring your own boat (the Lake Rabun Beach boat ramp is just a stone's throw away) or rent via Michael at Lake Rabun Boat Rentals (706-782-4438) or Hall's Boat House (706-782-4981) . Just be mindful of the no-wake zone in The Narrows, and be sure to wave as friendly “neighbors” pass by, as Southern Hospitality is on full display here at Lake Rabun.
As you enter Little Lakemont through the front door (via the screened-in, wrap-around porch), you’re welcomed immediately by the open kitchen and dining area that overlook the family room. Cook (or simply eat) to your heart’s content with all the pots, pans, plates and utensils one could need. The kitchen features a gas-burning oven and stove, microwave, toaster oven, drip coffee machine, Keurig, dishwasher, garbage disposal and refrigerator with ice machine. We also have an ice-cream machine, slow-cooker, popcorn machine, shaved ice machine, blender and hand-mixer.
If by chance you aren’t taking your meals on the dining table on our screened-in porch (which features our second charcoal grill and two Adirondack-style swivel/rockers), our indoor dining table seats eight (five chairs and one bench) for casual meals. We also have a restaurant-style high chair available for your use, if needed.
The family room is cozy and inviting with a new couch (which folds out to a full-sized bed) and new, comfy, upholstered swivel-rocker chairs, all of which are working hard to divide their time between the entertainment center (stocked with a 43-inch smart TV, DVD player, tons of movies and board games) and the real star of the show, a floor-to-vaulted-ceiling stone, gas fireplace.
The two guest bedrooms are also located downstairs. One features a pillow-top queen bed and the other – in true Lake Rabun fashion – bunk beds! Both bedrooms have ceiling fans, plenty of closet space and storage, and the comfy beds are nicely appointed with crisp linens and quilts. These bedrooms share the immaculate main-floor bathroom, which features a roomy vanity/sink, large linen closet (stocked with bath towels and beach towels) and a shower/tub.
If a quick load of laundry is on your agenda, a washer/dryer combo is conveniently located on the main floor next to the bathroom.
The master suite, with a king-sized bed and attached bath, is located on the second floor, offering quiet seclusion from the rest of the home. If you’re tempted to watch television, the cleanly appointed master bedroom features one of the two TVs in Little Lakemont. Just outside the master is a sunny reading loft, where an overstuffed leather chair and ottoman invite you to settle in and enjoy a good book (borrow one of ours or bring your own) - or take a nap! - with views of Lake Rabun and the boathouse just below. Also on the top floor is a small, gabled bedroom with a single bed, perfect for a child (or an adult who would prefer the privacy of his/her own room versus the pull-out sofa in the living room). There’s plenty of space in this bedroom for a pack-and-play (not provided) for the littlest ones.
There will be no need to leave Little Lakemont 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 Little Lakemont), 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; and 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 Little Lakemont our favorite place on Earth, and we respectfully offer its charm and hospitality to you as you plan your next mountain retreat.
The 3 of us enjoyed our stay at Little Lakemont very much! It was exactly as described, and perfect for our small family. We brought our own hickory firewood and enjoyed a fire every evening and morning as the cool Fall weather arrived. The house and porch were quite clean and well appointed. The kitchen was great for anytime we did our own cooking. The yard and dock were also freshly clean and maintained. Easy outings possible for exploring old Clayton or Highlands, NC, as we did. Having the kayak and canoe was a great plus! Note that the water in this part of the lake is quite shallow -- even more so during the dry Fall season, but the lake does not fluctuate much like other larger GA lakes. The narrows are quiet and still and very peaceful. We definitely hope to return!
We enjoyed the house, yard and dock! Highly recommend.
This is the second time staying at the property and enjoy the quietness and short trip from home. The house is perfect for our family allowing everyone to have something they can do separately or together.
Our family had a great long weekend stay at Little Lakemont. Everything was as described, house was clean and well equipped, and process/communications were responsive. The setting on a quiet section of the lake really is beautiful and great for lounging/swimming/kayaking, and renting/navigating a boat out for watersports was easy. Would definitely recommend.
The cabin is welcoming and warm. The perfect place to make special memories!
We really enjoyed time with family at this house. It had everything we needed and then some. Billy is a very nice guy and we will be staying at this house again.
What a great place! Everything was as pictured. Clean, neat, organized, and detailed-oriented, including descriptions for everything and how to use it. The location was very quiet, and peaceful for a relaxing vacation at the lake. Views are amazing, especially coming back from an excursion on the kayak! We would definitely return here for another vacation.
This was the second time we have stayed at this property and it did not disappoint. The house is in such a fantastic location and the home itself is fabulous. The owners have ensured everything you may need is already provided, so you can literally unpack and start enjoying your vacation. Kids will love the location for the swimming, fishing and kayaking, and adults will love that it is in a 5 MPH zone so no boats or jetskis flying by. Did I mention the bass fishing is incredible. Launch ramp is a couple hundred yards away and I pulled my boat into the slip at the boathouse out back. Everything about this property is next level impressive, and the owners are very responsive and grascious hosts. Can't wait for the next trip!
We’ve rented Little Lakemont several times. Always a great experience
My Family stayed here over the Thanksgiving week and had a perfect stay. the house is on a beautiful part of the lake and the leaves still had fall color in them making for a wonderful setting every morning at the boat house. The house is comfortable and has everything needed to entertain a family, the kitchen is fully stocked with cookware, plates, utensils and glasses, very comfortable beds, lots of games if you have a rainy day. The location is great, you can walk a half mile to a hiking trail, Helen is 30 minutes away, lake burton wildcat trail head 25 minutes away, (beautiful hike to a waterfall). This is the house you need to stay at if you want to stay on a mountain lake in GA. My grandchildren are already planning to come back during the summer.
Outstanding in every respect.
The property was perfect for our family vacation. The kids loved swimming off the dock and playing yard games with the adults. We utilized every part of the property. The view from the boat dock is glorious. The home is lovely and equipped with everything we needed. Everyone had a wonderful time and agreed to return next summer. Thank you for sharing your home.
We had a wonderful stay at Little Lakemont! Lovely home, beautiful yard and boat house. Easy to kayak, swim or canoe in the no wake zone. Hope to return again.
The property was amazing - the house was homey and the layout was great. We loved the porch and boat house.
Property was as advertised. Clean, quiet, fun. Great location. Entire process was smooth. Flat lot perfect, both for little kids to play and easy access to water by the old. Two thumbs up!
My husband and I along with our daughters enjoyed our stay at Little Lakemont. Located on a quiet part of the Lake: the Narrows, the location was perfect for kayaking, swimming, etc without the worry of busy boat traffic. We rented a boat and were able to explore Lake Rabun in it’s entirety. Billy was a wonderful host; he included recommendations for dining, grocery shopping, rentals, etc. We can’t wait for our next stay!
Great house and great time.
We has such an amazing time with the family. The house was better than advertised. The views are incredible and the property location could not be any better. The kids had a blast fishing from the dock and swimming in the cove. The bass fishing was great as well. Brought my bass boat and the dock was perfect. Overall we could not be more happy. Billy and Laura are perfect hosts!
We had the best weekend celebrating our 10 year anniversary with our family and friends!! The cabin was perfect for our young kiddos and had everything we needed to play on the lake. The owner was very responsive and helpful. We hope to make this an annual trip with our family.
Little Lakemont is a dream home-away-from-home. The screened-in porch offered an excellent inside/outside place to perch. There were two finely tuned swivel & glide Adirondacks that frequently called our name. Down the path, the two-story boathouse provided glorious views of mountains freshly painted by clouds & sun, the Tallulah River calmly floated by, a gaggle of geese happily honked in a nearby cove, & a majestic osprey soared high overhead. It was an enchanting place to fish, canoe, kayak, dine, read, write, rest, play. We are so grateful to the owners of Little Lakemont for opening up their home to us. We hope to return soon. Sincerely, Steve & Amanda
We will definitely book this house again in the near future.
