This wonderful vintage cottage and separate cabin are within walking distance to Hall's Boathouse, the Pavilion, and The Lake Rabun Hotel. The cottage from the 1940's has all wood interior with the warm natural color only time can provide. It features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, 2 living areas, and large stone fireplace. It retains the charm of the old days in the Lake Rabun community. The 1920's cabin has 3 large bedrooms and one bath. The 1.65 acre lot is exceptional with a noisy creek that runs down the center and beside the cottage for endless relaxing sounds of flowing water. The site has a carport/boat shed and a small building built over the creek. If you are looking for vintage charm you have found it. Plenty of room for friends and family.
