The Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant celebrated its 100th birthday in 2022. It’s the last surviving mountain lodge on a lake in Georgia. Carefully restored by preservationists in 2008 to maintain its ancestral charm, it features gardens of native plants, rock pillars and walkways, locust log decks, and balconies with views of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains.

Selected as a Top 10 Best Farm to Table Restaurant in Georgia, the restaurant is brushed with international flavors with seasonal menus inspired by locally grown produce and accommodating vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free preferences. They feature humanely raised meats and wild-caught seafood. One of the most popular signature dishes is the Pecan Encrusted Mountain Trout named by Explore Georgia as one of the “Top 100 Meals Loved by Locals.”
