2. The Enchanting Lake Forest Lodge
Forest Lodge is a great place for brides looking for a bigger space to house up to 150 guests. At this location, which is also operated and managed by Lake Rabun Hotel, you get all of the benefits of having your wedding at the enchanting Lake Rabun Hotel, but in a bigger space.
Lake Rabun Hotel handles all the booking, catering, and even has an exceptional wedding planner to make your special day perfect.
Talk about a unique place with seasonal mountain ridge views! Tucked into a forest with thousands of ferns and other native plants, colorful gardens, and walking trails, it offers much-appreciated privacy.
As the song asks “Isn’t it romantic?” Yes, it is! To give you an idea of what to expect: as you enter the lodge you’ll pass by a boulder designed waterfall, then into a vaulted chapel-like Great Room that opens onto a magnificent deck with views. Have you ever imagined getting married by a huge stone fireplace? Well, now’s your chance. Or, maybe you’d like to get married by the waterfall or in the forest. These are among the many choices that will be fun for you both to make.
