About this property

Perfect Lake Vacation! Boat Rental Available! VRBO Next Door For Big Groups!

Welcome to *Kedra-on-the-Lake*, a spacious, family-run lake house where comfort meets adventure. With plenty of room to spread out, cozy charm, and lakefront fun, it’s the perfect retreat for vacations, weekend getaways, or special celebrations. And when you book a full week, the 7th night is always free.

**Need more space?** Ask about the private 3-bedroom apartment next door.

**Pontoon Boat Rental** Bring your own boat or rent our pontoon—both can be docked right at your private dock.

**Warm, Welcoming, and Full of Fun**
Since 2004, Kedra has been a guest favorite thanks to its personal touches and thoughtful amenities. The open main level feels like a peaceful mountain lodge with a large fireside living room, dining space for 14, and a well-stocked kitchen made for cooking together. Step out to the wraparound porch for quiet mornings or rocking chair afternoons with a view.

The main-floor primary suite includes a private bath and porch access. Upstairs has two oversized family-friendly bedrooms and a shared bath, plus a workspace with a view. The terrace level features another bedroom, full bath, flex room, and a fun zone with air hockey, and movie space.

**Life at the Lake**
A gentle walk out back leads to a private dock on a quiet cove, ideal for swimming, paddling, and sunset views. There’s a fire pit, canoe, paddleboard, and ping pong in the garage. Lake Nottely is a quiet lake, and Blairsville offers shops, restaurants, and small-town charm—plus Blue Ridge and Hiawassee are just 20 minutes away. Lake Nottely is TVA controlled and lake levels always are lowered in the off-season.

**What Guests Say:**
"Beautiful... elegant... relaxing... home away from home... family-friendly... two weeks wasn’t enough… we’ll be back!"

Beautiful quiet cove

The house was perfect for our large family. It’s well stocked and all the beds were comfortable. There’s plenty of things to entertain the younger crowd and a nice wrap around porch with rockers and swings for those who prefer to relax. The house is close to downtown Blairsville and Butternut Creek golf course. Our guys enjoyed playing that course a couple of times during the stay. I’d definitely stay here again. Everyone was very nice to work with.

Absolutely wonderful! Very relaxing and the house has everything you need and more!

Kedra was very roomy and clean! The back deck is the perfect place to relax and have coffee in the mornings. The dock was perfect! Great for swimming, boating, and floating around on a raft. Played golf at the Butternut Creek Golf Course that was just minutes away from Kedra. Will definitely stay there again!

Return to Kedra

We stayed at this property last year and loved everything about it. Consequently, we had to return this year and it was just as wonderful. The lake is lovely, it sleeps our 12 people-6 adults and 6 under age 11 very comfortably (in fact it could easily sleep several more), and even the little things were provided for. We particularly loved having access to a canoe, paddle boards, and plenty of life jackets. We even rented the next door neighbor's pontoon boat for the day which was great fun for all. Highly, highly recommended!!

A great home in a convenient area

We spent six nights in this beautiful home. It is very well equipped and clean. The owners were very accommodating and provided everything needed. The family room and air hockey tabie were perfect for the kids. We enjoyed the fire pit and walking around the area. Two refrigerators really helped. It is well furnished and comfortable. Just remember to back down the driveway if you have rear wheel drive. The slope is a little steep and it’s gravel. We were warned before arriving. Thanks to the owners for a great place to spend a family Christmas!

Great for our family reunion!

Our fourth stay at Kedra was just as nice as our first stay in 2006. Except, this time our kids are grown, married and have children of their own. With 5 bedrooms, 10 beds, a pullout couch and 3 1/2 baths, it was great to be able to host the family. The kitchen is well stocked. Ping pong in the garage and air hockey in the basement. A canoe and paddleboards for the lake. Hiking in the woods. Deer, turkey, birds, and squirrels everywhere. Internet works great. Roku TVs were a nice touch. What else can I say? We had a great 2 weeks with family coming and going.

Great lake getaway for fall break

Really enjoyed our stay! Everything as expected. Kids loved the lake and paddle boards. The lake was low, which we expected, but we were still able to take the boat out. Temp was 65-75 with rain, but they still got out there and went tubing. even though the neighbors are close, it was still very quiet and enjoyable. Only complaints...we did have some small black ants in the kitchen, and the water filter on the fridge did not seem to be working. The water from the fridge tasted like dirt. We had to buy a lot of bottled water/gallons of water to drink. All in all, would recommend it to anyone!

Thanks for sharing your home!

Our adult children and grandchildren (ages 11 to 1 month) recently spent the week with us at Kendra. It was such a wonderful week! We enjoyed swimming in the lake, taking a boat ride (rented from the next door neighbor, Doug, who is super!), swinging on the porch swing, playing board games, and enjoying meals around the large kitchen table. My husband took one of the grandkids fishing each morning and we enjoyed the lake in the afternoon together. The kids and grandkids enjoyed the air hockey, ping pong, canoe, and floats provided. Our two year old grandkids had no problem with the gentle slope down to the dock and back. We loved having a separate area for families upstairs and downstairs. It worked perfectly for our growing family! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful place with my family!

Simply Wonderful!

We had a fantastic time with our kids and their friends. We fished and canoed on the lake, played games, watched movies, had ping pong tournaments, and had a blast cooking in the awesome kitchen that was large enough for a crowd! The location is close to grocery stores and “town” but out enough to relax. The coolest was the group of 5 deer grazing in someone’s yard we spotted when we first arrived! We recommend! :)

Nice get away!

Overall this is a great place to stay. We enjoyed ourselves and had a relaxing, fun time. There wasn't much communication prior to arrival and when we arrived after dark there were no lights on, so we were a tad unsure if we were at the right place. There was a for sale sign in the yard and that threw us off. This is a house on the lake and there was very little water in it. I wish the listing had advised us that the lake gets drained during the winter. It was still a pleasant view. My husband and I were in the main floor bedroom and the bed was so so. I noticed that it tended to have a drop to each side, indicating it is a pretty used bed. Other than that it was great!

Nice family Thanksgiving get away

I’ve stayed at properties through VRBO in several countries and I’ve never been to one that provided so much STUFF. That’s the best word I could find. We had foil. We had a tea kettle. There was even hot cocoa pods in the cabinet. Everything we thought we needed we were able to find. Even toiletries that may have been forgotten. We went at Thanksgiving so the water was drawn down so dont think you’ll have a lake view at all if you go that time of year. But the inside was very nicely done with tons of space. We had more beds than we even needed. There were a few things I reached out to the owner for and they responded promptly. It’s located in a remote area and very windy path to get across the mountains. But you still had a walmart within 10 min of the house. Great stay for everyone.

Perfect Home for Our Family for the Thanksgiving!

The home was just right for our family! We had our 3-yr old and 6 yr old grandsons and my sister and her family! Kitchen was well stocked! Too cold for lake use (and it was drained) but I am sure this would be a great place for warmer weather! The views are beautiful! Loved the extra "stash" of toiletries in the laundry room! Lots of spices, tin foil and other aids for cooking! We spent a lot of the day hours at my other sister's rental about 30 minutes away but enjoyed our time here too! Would've loved to enjoy the wrap around porches too but it was too cold! Quick response from owner when we were trying to figure out the fireplace! Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful place to stay

This property did not disappoint. The interior of the home was very clean, but the outside sitting areas could use a good washing. The waterfront access along with the private pier and fire pit were awesome. We caught and released fish off off of the pier, as well as went swimming, etc. This is an excellent family getaway. Many other things to do only a short drive away.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Finley

Welcome to our vacation home, Kedra on the Lake! We are Ralph and Ann and we are retired and live in the Metro Atlanta area. We have 4 married children and 13 grand kids ages 1-23 who we love like crazy and with whom we share many wonderful times at Kedra through out the whole year. We would love for you to bring your crowd here too and please know that you will be treated like a treasured guest!

Why they chose this property

Lake Nottely in Blairsville has the perfect combination of charm, convenience, natural beauty and remoteness that makes our trips up there so enjoyable. There is lots to do but you don't have to fight a crowd of other vacationers to do it! The house is huge and is easy for more than one family to share, giving us each a little space to breath and plenty of room to share.

What makes this property unique

Each year we add to our list of things to do, taking expeditions to find new and interesting adventures. Of course, the lake is the biggest draw... fishing, canoeing, boating, swimming; it is all heaven on this lovely, peaceful lake. We also enjoy tubing and rafting down the rivers, golfing, hiking to waterfalls, shopping and eating out at our favorite restaurants. Probably our favorite outing is to Vogel State Park, a must-do on every trip. Mostly it is time spent together, making memories and getting refreshed from the peacefullness and beauty.
