National Geographic Traveler names Lake Rabun Hotel to its "Stay LIst"

The April, 2009 issue of National Geographic Traveler has just hit the newsstands and subscribers’ mail boxes. This issue features the second annual “Stay List” -- a round-up of 129 properties that reflect a sense of place, take part in being part of the community, and employ best practices in the eco-sustainable realm.

The Lake Rabun Hotel is the ONLY Georgia property included on this list! Congratulations to Gwen North and her staff!

"One Tank Trip" features the new Lake Rabun Hotel

Nice publicity in Sunday's Atlanta Journal-Constitution Travel, both on line and print. To check it out, got to www.ajc.com and click on travel -- then on best food and wine vacations. Here's a link to the online article, "One Tank Trip: Lake Rabun Hotel."

If you haven't yet taken the time to visit the new old Lake Rabun Hotel, you are missing something special. I had the opportunity to dine there recently while entertaining a journalist from California, and hope to get back very soon. Gwen North and her staff are bringing a new level of service to the region.
