Lake Rabun Hotel

Lake Rabun Hotel

To celebrate 41 years of marriage we stayed at the Lake Rabun Hotel in Lakemont this past weekend. The hotel was built in 1922 and has been remodeled since then, but keeping it's quaint exterior and exterior.

View of our room, glad it had a fireplace because it was cold in the hotel. Can't say the mattress was all that great, will be writing a review about that and other thoughts.

Here's one of their dining rooms in the attached restaurant. The food was excellent. I had hardwood grilled bison tenderloin, best red meat I have ever had. (I don't usually get any red meat but glad I did, it was melt in your mouth tender). Gary had southern shrimp and grits which were good but I like to order things I can't get in my home town when I am traveling. I had a crab imperial for an appetizer and Gary had a fire roasted corn chowder, both were excellent. Gary had peach cobbler for dessert which was excellent. I had creme brulee which is always delicious.

We were glad to get home to our own beds and to our cat who missed us terribly and we missed him too. All in all I recommend staying at a different location and going to the restaurant for dinner.

Every day on fb I see folks wanting to kill critters.
Please stop killing wild animals.
If folks don't want to see or deal with wild animals,
they should move back to cities and
leave the forests, farmlands, skies, and gardens
for the critters who are here just trying to survive.
And don't get me started on data centers
and solar farms taking up valuable open space.

After a medical procedure I'm going back to
some old standbys, this one is baked okra.
