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
