Double-Decker Dock - Beautiful View
Union County STR# 014520
Sleeps MAX 10 People
(Sorry. No pets allowed.)
Post Stay, we would appreciate your REVIEW on VRBO. We’re also on TripAdvisor @kudzucabin.
Check out KUDZU CABIN on beautiful, peaceful Lake Nottely, in the North Georgia Mountains, less than 2 hours from Atlanta. Please click on the RATES button for rates details, cancellation policy, required deposits, and pet and cleaning fees. VRBO determines their fees and collects Union County hotel taxes as well.
For a good sense of what you’ll see on arrival, please be sure to view our pictures for decor, bedroom configuration, lake views from our boat dock, and more.
NOTE: Please do NOT use the stone "steps" on the side of the house for basement level access. These are placed for landscape needs to retain soil and limit errosion and are not intended as a walkway, as they are quite steep and could be a slipping hazard.
Kudzu Cabin, your home away from home, awaits you with its rustic lodge-style furnishings and over 300 feet of lakefront access (no lake view from house) with a private double-decker boat dock boasting spectacular lake and mountain views, where you can park your own boat/jet-ski or rentals, swim, kayak, sun on the upper deck, or just sit back and relax with a glass of wine at sunset.
You’ll have plenty of room for family and friends to join you in this beautifully appointed and spacious cabin, with 5 BR (including 2 king master suites), 5 full baths & 2 half baths, that sleeps up to 10 in beds (limit based on Union County Short-Term Rental code), just minutes from Blairsville and charming Blue Ridge.
We offer a FAMILY and/or BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL setting, so no big parties are allowed. Per Union County Ordinance, as outlined by Sec 48-04, amplified sound that disturbs or causes a nuisance to neighboring properties is not allowed. If we are notified of a violation of this ordinance by renters, the assessed fee will be deducted from the security deposit.
Kudzu Cabin is a NO SMOKING, NO VAPING property. Contact owners with questions.

The dining room seats 8, plus 4 bar stools at the kitchen island. In the living room, you'll find a smart TV with access to YouTube TV for free programming, or login to your own streaming accounts, plus a DVD player and small DVD library. Purchases through owner apps are not allowed and anything charged will be deducted from the damage deposit. Off the living room is the main/master bedroom as described above.
Main level wrap around deck hosts a barn-wood table (seats 8-10), a pub style table (seats 5), along with plenty of rocking and other chairs to crowd around a gorgeous outdoor fireplace. Relax in the hammock or enjoy a rousing round of corn-hole. You’ll also find both a gas grill and a charcoal BBQ pit on the main level deck.
LOFT/UPSTAIRS:
Upstairs includes a loft level master bedroom, as described above, and is connected to the loft living area, as described above.
BASEMENT LEVEL:
The basement level has a comfy living area, table for games, as well as a shelf stocked with games, playing cards, and books, and a flat screen TV with VCR and video library, and streaming available via a ROKU device with access to YouTube TV for free programming, or login to your own streaming accounts. Purchases through owner apps are not allowed and anything charged will be deducted from the damage deposit. (Note that the gas log/two-sided fireplace is not currently working.)
The three bedrooms surround the basement living area and are as described above.
The laundry room is located in the basement with a full-size washer/dryer and an iron and ironing board. Bed linens are provided for each bed and bathrooms are all stocked with plenty of towels and a hair dryer. We also have several beach towels and rags in the basement laundry room for use on the dock, or to clean up a mess. (Please don't stain our white towels!)
For your convenience, we provide a vacuum, brooms, and a mop.
BASEMENT LEVEL PATIO:
The patio on the lower level has tables and chairs for gathering and enjoying a closer look at the outdoors.
PETS are NOT allowed. Anyone found to bring a pet will lose their damage deposit.
OTHER AMENITIES:
When you're not enjoying the sun from the boat dock, making use of boat rentals (see notes below about Nottely Boat Club), or hiking around the area, you'll find plenty of other things to do at Kudzu Cabin. We have kayaks and several life vests, hula-hoops, a corn hole game, bocce ball set, and horse shoes, as well as plenty of books, games, poker set, cards, and videos for the kids to watch. And of course, the nearby towns of Blairsville, Blue Ridge, and Murphy, NC have entertainment events, art shows, and other attractions, year-round.
BOAT RENTALS:
If you’re looking for a boat to rent, the closest is Nottely Boat Club & Marina, less than 10 minutes from the cabin by car. Find our website at CoolestPlaceInGeorgia. You'll find live entertainment on Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the peak season.
LAKE NOTTELY WATER LEVEL:
Check expected lake water levels for your trip by visiting https://www.tva.com/environment/lake-levels, select Nottely. Lake Nottely is TVA controlled, with water levels at full pool during peak season - gradually increasing up through Memorial Day (typically much earlier than that) and gradually decreasing after Labor Day. Any drought or rainy conditions in North Georgia can also have an impact on lake water levels. Note that our boat dock is in deep water and in the past, we have not had issues getting boats in and out during peak season and often have good access well before and after peak season.
POLICIES:
Please carefully read the policies shown in this listing for important information and requirements. Photo ID and a signed contract are required before a booking is final.
Note that it is our policy not to accept reservations more than a year in advance. If you have any questions about future reservations that far in advance, please contact Val.
After booking, a detailed description of Kudzu Cabin House Rules/Policies will be sent along with your booking confirmation. We strictly enforce policies which follow Union County Short-term Rental Code requirements.
Whether seeking a retreat for a family reunion, gathering with close friends, or a business function, Kudzu Cabin, Lake Nottely, and the surrounding areas have much to offer, year-round. Book your next trip with us!

About the host
Hosted by Val Bippert & Doug Bippert
A family of 5 and Marietta residents since 2006, the Bipperts hail from Texas, but love the Atlanta area and the North Georgia Mountains. After owning this gem of a cabin for 6 years with friends, we've bought out our partners and have decided to share our treasure with others, as a rental. We love that this house is so close to home that we can pop in for a weekend with friends, with little planning, and immediately start enjoying the relaxing lifestyle that Lake Nottely and the area offer. We hope you'll find some of what we have at Kudzu Cabin!
Why they chose this property
After searching for a beach house for a year, we realized that we wanted our get-away to be closer to home. Our friends (and soon to be lake house partners) recommended looking in Blue Ridge and Lake Nottely for a home to share on the lake. In no time, we stumbled upon this beauty and have called it our second home since. It's great for as many as three families at once, enjoying the lake and nature together. Whether you spend the entire time outdoors, or a rainy day inside playing games and watching TV, Kudzu Cabin is the perfect get-away from the realities of life, any time of the year.
What makes this property unique
We are always looking for updates and ways to make our home more renter friendly. Renter feedback encouraged us to add a second refrigerator. Though small, the second fridge in the basement is a nice addition. Recently, we added a new renter favorite, a giant floating mat, great for relaxing/floating, or jumping off and playing with the kids.
Be sure to look back from time to time, to see what is new. In the mean time, enjoy the fact that there is a private bath for every bedroom, a deck that is the perfect extension of the main floor and dining room, and a double-decker boat dock where you could spend an entire day, enjoying family, friends, and sunshine!
