The Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant

Historic Lake Rabun Hotel & Restaurant has welcomed guests to the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia since 1922. The property sits on the shores of Lake Rabun in Lakemont, GA — a mountain lake setting that draws couples, families, and small groups looking for an experience rooted in place rather than a generic event hall. The hotel's award-winning farm-to-table restaurant anchors the property, offering fresh seasonal menus and gourmet breakfasts alongside a strong bar program. For weddings and private events, the venue specializes in celebrations of all sizes set in natural surroundings, from intimate elopement packages for 3–40 guests at the historic hotel to larger gatherings at the Forest Lodge Wedding and Retreat Center, a dedicated event facility opened in 2020 that accommodates up to 150 guests. The Forest Lodge features a custom waterfall and pond entrance, a massive stone fireplace, vaulted timber ceilings, a hand-crafted log bar, a built-in audio system, and views of distant mountain ridges — alongside the hotel's preferred vendor network for photography, planning, florals, music, and catering.
