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.

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.

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!
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!
Traveled from TX to meet up with family in GA and although we only had a short stay, the home was perfect for hosting dinner and watching football with a backdrop of beautiful lake views in Oct. It’s much roomier than pics showed, beds were quite comfortable and the kitchen had every single thing one could need, more than any home we’ve booked in awhile. The large space downstairs had so many games and entertainment and next time we visit elderly family in beautiful Blairsville we’ll book in summer and use the outdoor amenities-and definitely stay longer. Bonus: evening visits by the firepit (get firewood at nearby Ingall’s Grocery) by a very sweet and well-fed neighbor pup named Dax. Everything was just perfect. Excited to return.
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!
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.
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.
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 was our second time to Nottely Lake and this house was by far better than last year! I was a little hesitant to book with it being a pet friendly property, knowing how hard pet hair is to remove but it was impeccably clean in all areas of the home! I especially loved the screens in porch (being screened in from below was a great idea) No bugs or spiders to deal with so it was very enjoyable to sit on the porch day or night! The beds were so comfortable the home itself was cozy and relaxing from the extra blankets to the organization and decor of the home! Only downside was the steep hike up and down to the dock, tricky to carry heavy coolers. But hey, at least we got our exercise in! I would definitely recommend this house and will be looking to stay here again in the future!
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!!
