About this property
Lakefront Gem, Mtn views, dock + HOT TUB
***Please inquire about our 20% off Spring Sale***, and we will apply discount. Offer is only good for stays before May 22, 2025. 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. A double Kayak and Paddle Board are also provided.
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

The Dock:
We have a Double Decker Aluminum dock with a single slip and tie-ons. This dock is so fun! Tandem Kayak and Stand Up Paddle Boards are available for your use.
***The lake levels go down significantly outside of season. Full Pool is approximately mid April - August. The lake levels drop up to 14 feet off season. We are fortunate enough to have deep water for your year round enjoyment. The end of the dock is around 30’ deep with full pool.

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.

House was inviting, well stocked and very enjoyable. Great location and views; comfortable beds and quiet street. Tons of room to spread out. Our family had a great stay!
The place was beautiful! We had so much fun! Very spacious so we didnt feel crowded. Loved the board games and foosball table. I would definitely rent this house again.
Close enough to Athens, GA for a weekend getaway. Nice screened in deck for meals or just relaxing. Blairsville is only about 10 mins away. Lots to do and see.
Beautiful views, amazing, well stocked kitchen, and fun in every corner. Kids and dad caught 4 large bass! Hose Elle was amazing, we had a family emergency
This property is very nice and well kept. However, it had not been cleaned when we arrived. Arrangements were made in a timely manner for the home to be cleaned. The owner was very helpful and accommodating. We would stay here again.
Fantastic property with lake view, well equipped Kitchen, plenty of games for entertainment and room for everyone our entire family. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
Everything was wonderful. We enjoyed the screened porch, fire pit, well stocked kitchen and views! Convenient to stores and the marina for boat rental. Communication with the host was excellent. The pictures do not do this place justice. Wonderful trip. thank you
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!!
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!
We had a wonderful stay in late December, celebrating a late Christmas with family, then ringing in the New Year. We all agreed that we had never stayed in a better prepared/stocked vacation rental. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute, including the very clean hot tub and sitting on the dock reading, daydreaming and relaxing - even in the cold weather--also took advantage of the books and games provided.Our family hiked at the Reservoir trail near the dam and also enjoyed walked along the water on the very wide beach since the water was at its winter level.All in all, we can't say enough good things about the house, our stay, and the communication with the property owners!! The Trewhitt Family
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.
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.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay on the lake. The house had everything we needed and the dock allowed us to bring our boat! I highly recommend this property.
This is our second summer at the cabin, and once again, it did not disappoint. The cabin has everything you need inside and out for a perfect vacation. It is very clean and has a ton of space. We spent a lot of time on the dock and floating in the lake. We rented a pontoon one day from the marina and had a blast. This is by far our favorite summer cabin, and we can’t wait to go back next year!
Great property with very good amenities. The kitchen was well stocked to host large groups. The dock is fantastic and very close to marina. We would definitely rent this place again if we are back in the area.
We had the best time at Elle’s lake house! Such a comfortable home with beautiful deck views. We spent time on the dock, used the paddle board and kayak, and rented a boat for tubing at a nearby marina recommended by Elle. When we had a question, Elle was quick to respond and so helpful! Will be booking a stay again!
