We returned to Rabun County for our anniversary and so our cancer-battling lab could enjoy a likely final vacation. Our time at the secluded but easily-accessible Lavinder Laurel Leaf Cottage was MORE than we could’ve hoped for! Our FAVORITE-EVER short-term rental - it was spacious; tastefully decorated; spotlessly clean; thoughtfully well-stocked throughout; with an oh-so-comfortable bed and the softest linens. We made all our meals in the huge, chef-quality kitchen - enjoying them on the back deck, surrounded by blooming rhododendrons! We lazed for hours on the creekside porch and our old-boy became a puppy again wading in the sweetly babbling water! We hiked Minnehaha and Angel Falls, and at Tallulah Gorge and Black Forest Mountain State Parks; and explored iconic Lakemont and nearby Clayton. We were SO sad to leave! Finally, we can’t thank enough, our wonderful-in-every-way host Jamie! We recommend this wonderful cottage without hesitation.

This cabin is nothing short of amazing. Very well cared for and definitely fully stocked. The front porch has comfortable seating where I spent every morning reading and listening to the creek that flows right by the cabin. The kids and dog loved splashing in the creek to cool off also. Would recommend this rental 100%!!
