This lakefront gem has sweeping views with an awesome 2 level dock and HOT TUB!

Union County, GA STR License # 012060 - The Nottely Nest could be your perfect getaway, with a year round deep water dock. From the moment you walk in, you will see panaramic mountain and lake views from most every room. You can even see the highest point in GA - Brasstown Bald. Lake Nottely is not your typical “close to Atlanta” lake. It is a TVA mountain lake with the majority of the shoreline owned by the US Forest Service. Some of the best fishing in the Southeast - known for Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, and Black Crappy.

We have a fantastic hot tub with a view, right outside the porch doors for those chilly nights.

Nottely Marina is closed from Oct. 31 - March. If you need gas from the marina, you can call 24 hours in advance, and they will try to arrange a meeting. 706-745-3638.

We are the 2nd to last house on a dead-end street. This is a great quiet neighborhood with considerate year round residents on both sides. Our house is bigger than it looks.

Bring your boat/jet ski or rent one at the Marina - right around the corner

Parking Area:

- Parking for 4 cars

- Entry into the house is only steps away from the parking area.

- Patio to the left of the house with a fire pit and gas grill, overlooking the lake

Bedding and mattresses are all very comfortable (we know how important this is!). Smart TV's in every room.

This house may be brand new to VRBO, but we are experienced managers with several other vacation property rentals. Don't worry, we will take good care of you.

The Main floor:

- Boasts sweeping views, and a generous open floor plan/great room. The well equipped Kitchen has an island with seating for 4. The appliances are stainless steel and the countertops are granite. This is a "Cook's Kitchen" with a walk-in pantry (new washer/dryer) and utility sink. There is a mounted TV for game day.

- The Dining Room table seats 10 with a lovely rustic table and chairs.

- The Living room has a sectional couch and a stone surround wood burning fireplace. There is also a 55" TV.

- The main floor Primary Bedroom has a King sized bed, large TV, en-suite Master Bath (heated floor, separate Jacuzzi tub, double vanity with granite countertop, custom tile shower with body sprays and rain showerhead), and a walk-in closet. This bedroom opens up to the screened in porch for fabulous morning views.

- Bedroom 2 - Queen bed attached to a full bathroom (also has an entrance to the common area) with mounted TV. Opens up to the screened porch for the same spectacular views.

- The Screened-in porch (also screened under the flooring to keep the bugs out) - 600 sqft of extended living area. There is a table that seats six, 3 chaise lounges, a wooden porch swing, and a rocking chair.

On the Downstairs level:

- There is a large recreation room with a game table (and plenty of board games), compact ping-pong table, a foosball table, magnetic darts, a sofa and love seat, and a 55" TV.

- A sleeping niche with full sized double bunk beds. There are cubbies for each bed, and charging stations for the top and bottom bunks. There is also individual lights and a curtain for privacy.

- Downstairs common area Bathroom - brand new, custom tile shower, modern vanity with quartz countertop, and hooks for many towels.

- The Downstairs Primary bedroom has a mounted TV, King sized bed with walk-in closet and en-suite bath (stand-up tiled shower and single vanity). The bedroom opens up to the open air porch, and has perhaps the best views from the bed.

- Bedroom 4 (the red room) with mounted TV - has 2 sets of full sized beds and a twin bed.

- Downstairs Deck - 600 sqft of unobstructed open air views, cornhole game, outdoor furniture (sofa, chairs, 2 chaise loungers), and a hot tub where you can relax and look out at the lake.

Ground level (below the downstairs level):

- 600 sqft of mulched patio area. perfect for horseshoes, corn hole, or just hanging out.

Access to the lake:

- This is a deep water lot, so the hill is rather steep. We have taken great pains to make this as moderate as possible.

- Concrete walkways traverse the hill to small sets of steps.

The Dock:

We have a Double Decker Aluminum dock with a single slip and tie-ons. This dock is so fun! Tandem Kayak and two Stand Up Paddle Boards are available for your use.

***The lake levels go down significantly outside of season. Full Pool is April - August. The lake levels drop up to 13 feet off season. We are fortunate enough to have deep water for your year round enjoyment. The end of the dock is over 25’ deep with full pool.

Our insurance requires us to get signed liability waivers from all adults, specifically for the amenities.

It is common practice in the area to let dogs roam off leash. There are dogs in the neighborhood owned by the neighbors that have always been friendly to us.

If you are planning to bring a dog, please contact us in regards to easy walking trails.

We are in a great location on the lake just 5 minutes to town. We have provided an attractions binder to illustrate some of the many popular activities in the area. In addition to anything lake related, there are many great restaurants and shops just a couple miles away, including: a large Ingles grocery store (with Starbucks), Home Depot, Walmart, Chick-fil-A, pizza, amazing BBQ, seafood, Mexican, Cuban, Japanese fusion, tacos, subs, Grandaddy Mimm's Distilling Co., and many more. Butternut Creek Golf Course is just down the road and close by is Meeks Park (tennis, basketball, athletic fields, hiking trails, Frisbee golf, canoe launch for Nottely River). Blairsville also has a bowling alley and movie theater.

Nottely Marina is within sight of our dock, and the owners are wonderfully friendly.

We are about 15 miles from the Appalachian Trail and many scenic hikes and waterfalls. There are also Horseback riding stables nearby.

Sorghum Festival (Biggest Event of the Year) - Fall

Weekend art Fairs on the square

Vogel State Park - (12 miles away)

Local Vineyards (45 min away)

Breweries in Blue Ridge (about 20 min away).

Our new favorite on Lake Nottely!
This is the 3rd trip in as many years to the lake and this house was by far the best! From the incredible views, to friendly neighbors and cool lake water on hot days, our family couldn't have asked for more. Even caught a few bass from the dock during the cool mornings. The house is wayyyy bigger than it looks when you first drive up and had plenty of parking and amenities for kids and adults alike. We will definitely be renting again and can’t wait to get back! Thanks, Elle for being an awesome renter!!

Best cabin EVER
We had an amazing time at the cabin! It was very clean and spacious for our family of 5 (plus one doggie). Tons of space for everyone to spread out. Very easy check-in and the owner responded right away to a question I had. We spent a lot of our time on the dock and in the lake. We did quite a bit of hiking, and there is a nice place to walk at the cabin too. We rented a boat one day from the marina, which is super close to the cabin. We stay in Blairsville every summer and this was by far the best cabin we’ve had. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back!

Great Views
If you like beautiful views this place is great! Ok, now our experience. My wife and I and two small 15# dogs and My Father stayed for a week. The cabin was clean but did have some dog Oder. Not bad but I could smell it. The main living area and two main bedrooms is were we stayed. It was laid out nicely with great open feeling with the island kitchen and the views of the lake and great big porch (screened). We walked down to dock and back up (pretty good hike). Did day trips all around the area. Only issues we had were that we felt the couch in the main living area uncomfortable and with the dogs; taking them potty was a bit of a chore as you really had to climb a hill to be able to walk them (our dogs won’t go on gravel). Would I stay there again? Yes! But probably would not bring our dogs. Thanks for allowing us to visit this cabin for the week.

Weekend at the lake
We had a short weekend arriving on Friday afternoon and leaving on Sunday. The Nest was a great place to land. It was easily accessible and sleeping accommodations were great for 6 adults. There are plenty of games and activities to do at The Nest and since it rain part of the time these came in handy. The kitchen is open to the living area and has everything needed for multiple people to cook meals if desired. The screen porch is comfortable with great view and bottom porch with spa hot tub is also enjoyable. We rented a boat from Nottely Marina which is literally less than 5 minutes from The Nest. The lake itself is nice and not as crowded as many others in the area. I definitely recommend staying at The Nest if you want to spend some time on lake Nottely.

An outstanding home with more than everything you need on a lake with a dock. Besides all that Blairsville, Georgia is a gem. My family and I have had a VRBO home on a lake with the kids and grandkids over the July 4th holiday for 5 years. We have never had a bad place or stay. Having said that "The Nest' on lake Nottley is the nicest place we have stayed in all our adventures. We plan and coming back. All the other reviews cover the amenities and they are all true.
