Poor Staffing, Teeny Tiny Rooms, But Charming
I will say, it's an adorable historic rustic little lodge on Lake Rabun. But "historic" means tiny rooms where you have no place to put your luggage, you constantly bang your shins and toes on the feet of the bed, and you can't turn around in the bathroom. We apparently stayed in the tiniest room of them all: The Moonshine room.
They do serve breakfast, which is a plus, but at least when we were there on a Monday through Wednesday, there were no servers. You walked in and helped yourself to juice and coffee just sitting on a table and a small fruit spread on the bar. As you sit, they ask you how you like your eggs (excuse me: egg). You get one. Then they just bring you a small plate of what they're serving that day, including your egg how you told them you wanted it. No menu or buffet to choose from. The food was decent, but the "server" was also manning the front desk of the hotel, so I felt like a bother trying to track someone down when I needed to ask for staples like ketchup or butter.
The front desk closes up for the night at about 7pm (maybe 8?), apparently, and doesn't open back up until 7:30am, so you're on your own at night, just don't need anything. And the nearest grocery store or gas station is 15 minutes away in Clayton.
In some ways, I guess I get it. It's a very small, probably family-owned place tucked away from any real civilization. So, the service is lacking for sure, but it does have some charm.
