Peaceful lakehouse right on the water.
Plan your trip in the winter and you may get surprised with snow!

So many laughs and memories made around the firepit.

About this property

Peaceful lakefront house on Lake Nottely. Large secluded cove with boat dock.

UPDATE: The $30K shoreline investment is completed!! Lots of grading, a concrete ramp to the dock, widening of the dock, new ramp to dock with handrails, and lots of granite "rip rap" along the shoreline has been installed. Hoping to build a unique kayak launching area soon! Getting to and from the dock will be much safer and easier. We also added new bunk beds in the upstairs bedroom. Plus a couch and game table in the basement replacing the treadmill and weight machine. See new pictures!
---
Looking for a relaxing place on the lake? You found it! Very private. Gentle slope down to year round water. Separate parking area for boat trailers.

Large back porch overlooking the lake with rocking chairs and outside dining. Firepit with plenty of seating for those peaceful nights and amazing star gazing.

VERY clean lake, perfect for swimming and fishing. Some fishing supplies and swimming floats available.

Rent a pontoon or jet skis at local marina. Lots of shops and things to do in the area. Brasstown Bald is highest mountain in GA (you can see Atlanta on a clear day)! Waterfalls and Wineries everywhere. Harrah's Casino in Murphy, NC is 20 minutes away. Helen, GA is 40 minutes away for a "Little Switzerland" type experience (especially Octoberfest!).

3-bedrooms with 2 1/2 baths. Master has queen bed, upstairs guest bedroom has bunkbed twins and an IKEA twin trundle bed that slides out for a queen size bed. Downstairs bedroom has a King bed and twin bunk beds, along with a large private bath with heated floors. TV, Couch, and Game Table also downstairs.

Washer/Dryer upstairs. Double gas oven in kitchen.

Large great room with great appliances and real fireplace. Surround sound speakers make the room great for movies and ball games. Outdoor speakers on the back porch too. (Surround Sound and Outdoor Speakers not working at the moment due to someone damaging the Receiver). Working on a solution.

Firepit overlooks the lake and dock.

Fishing off the dock usually results in success and loads of fun. Teach your kids how to fish the old fashion way with bamboo rods growing on property! UCSTR License # 011208.

Beautiful place with gorgeous views of the lake! We enjoyed Thanksgiving with our family of 8. Fire pit and dock were a great addition. Plenty of room and all the comforts of home. Can’t wait to visit in warmer months to enjoy lake time.

Love this Lake Cabin!

This is our second year staying at this cabin. The owner is easy to work with and friendly. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Lake view was great and the location on the lake is great too. They added a Lilly pad for the lake and that was a huge crowd pleaser for the kids.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Arnett

Host profile image

I'm a laid back, semi-retired good 'ole boy from the Western Carolina mountains. Graduated Appalachian State with an IT degree and took it to Atlanta for 30 years. Finally realized my dream was to be back in the mountains and on a lake. Getting away from the city, traffic, and daily grind was such a stress reliever!

Now I travel around the Carolinas helping homeowners invest in solar to eliminate their power bills. I get back up to the lakehouse as often as I can, but not enough so I decided to share it with you. Please take care of it as it will become my permanent home soon.

Why they chose this property

I was blessed to stumble on this property in 2005. I fell in love with it because of the gentle slope to the water, the circular driveway with plenty of parking and separate parking for boat trailers.

I designed the lakehouse myself to take advantage of the space, views, and peacefulness of the setting. I worked the 1.3 acres for 3 years, wearing out a chain saw and at least 2 weedeaters. In May of 2009, the house was ready. The following year, I finished the basement by adding another master room with a king and 2 bunk beds, a private bath, and another family room overlooking the lake.

The firepit "amphitheater" area was built in 2016. The house still looks brand new and we like it that way. It's very comfortable for families or just a few couples enjoying some time away from the grind.

In April 2024, the shoreline project was completed. Removed trees for better lake views, lots of grading, 6 tons or granite "rip rap", new concrete dock ramp, new gangway, expanded dock surface.

Blairsville is full of heritage. There seems to be a festival or parade almost every weekend. The antique shops and flea markets are loaded with treasures. There is plenty to do in the area from antique shopping, combing through huge flea markets, hiking, horseback riding, chasing waterfalls, exploring the other nearby towns like Blue Ridge and Murphy, NC (20 minutes away to the Casino).

Of course, you can always enjoy the day by swimming, floating, and fishing off the dock. Local marinas have pontoons and jet skis for rent too.

What makes this property unique

Gentle slope with stairs all the way to the lake. Water is almost always clear and calm, great for swimming and fishing. Separate, easy parking for boat trailers. Close to gas station and Walmart. Six miles into town. Dead end street with minimal traffic.
