"Lake Rabun is a popular spot among real estate tycoons, car-dealership owners, and the Alabama football head coach. The best place to stay is the 13-room Lake Rabun Hotel, which operates in the bones of a 1922 lodge. Expect refined decor, farm-to-table meals, and views of one of Georgia’s most beautiful lakes. Nearby Clayton features charming shops and restaurants. Fromage, set in a historic home, serves made-from-scratch lunches and homemade cake. Dogwoods Home offers antique furnishings and local artwork."
