About this property

Book now for summer! Hot Tub, Private Dock, Sunset Views

Welcome to the Happy Retreat on beautiful Lake Nottely in the mountains of North Georgia. Escape the city and come stay at Happy Retreat, about 2 hours from Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Knoxville.

Our home was recently renovated and features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a gourmet kitchen, open living/dining space, incredible screen porch and multiple decks with hot tub to relax in. Play on our 4 kayaks or bring your own boat, jet ski and water toys or rent from multiple marinas on the lake and use our private dock.

The house is great for family gatherings or cozy for two!

The main level has a large, gourmet kitchen that is fully stocked with all your cooking needs, open family room and dining area. This level has a bedroom (king) with private bath and a second bedroom (king) off the kitchen area with full bath. All main level areas have access to the 60-foot screen porch from the open living space or either bedroom! Enjoy a wall of glass windows/doors give sweeping views of the lake from all living spaces.

The screened porch is a favorite location at Happy Retreat! Views are simply amazing from here. We have a large deck off the screen porch for grilling, dining, soaking in the hot tub and relaxing overlooking the lake. Towards the waters edge we have a large deck and covered pavilion with a fan and stone fireplace, with firewood provided. Enjoy sunbathing, time around the fireplace roasting s’mores and dining by the lake.

The main living space has a gas log fireplace and ceiling fans in all rooms and screen porch to help make you more comfortable. There is a 50-inch Smart TV in the living space and Smart TV’s in all bedrooms, very fast Fiber Internet and central heating and air conditioning.

The basement level has a game room and full bathroom. A separate bedroom is set up for a kids or family sleeping area containing a queen, a separate twin, a full/twin bunk and a convertible sofa. An additional room contains a queen and twin bunk beds. The basement holds plenty of entertainment with an air hockey table, brand new arcade game, 2 televisions, dvd/vcr, library and beverage refrigerator.

Please see our Welcome Guide for a list of the MANY things to do in the area!

We do have 4 cameras on the exterior of the home, doorbell, two viewing the trash cans, to ensure trash removal, and of the dock, to monitor water level since we are on a reservoir lake.

Cozy home with beautiful views
My family had a wonderful experience! The home was very clean and the perfect size for two large families with kids. So many positive things to say about this property…The downstairs area was the perfect kids retreat — our group enjoyed hours of fun at the air hockey table. The main level’s open space was great for socializing, playing games (lots of fun board games and puzzles) and enjoying meals (kitchen equipped with lots of cooking gadgets). There were plenty of cozy blankets, lots of lake towels and very comfortable beds. The extra large washing machine and dryer was a bonus. The spacious screened porch was one of our favorite spots to dine, relax and enjoy the spectacular lake sunsets. Above all, the outdoor area was incredible — nicely manicured grass area for the kids to play, deck with fireplace for s’mores (had to buy our own wood), and the perfect dock for our boat rental. The only “nice to have” for this property would have been a paddle board and/or kayak (however we bought an inflatable paddle board at the last minute which worked great). The owners provided lots of information about the area and were very responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely consider visiting this beautiful home in the future.

Lake Getaway
Excellent location for acccess to the lake for all water activities; skiing, tubing, fishing, swimming, or just lakeside hanging out. The deck near the water is a great feature to serve as a place to eat, hangout, or have a fire in the evening. Unlike a lot of properties, it has a short walk and gentle slope to to the lake. The property location is easy to access and plenty of parking with a circular driveway. A short drive to Blairsville or Murphy. Our family had a great week at the property!

Family get together
Loved the place! Very clean, good amenities, hot tub worked well, they had games to play, worked well for 10 adults. The only semi complaint I have is that the furnace kept waking me up bc we had the bedroom that had the loud furnace in it. Would definitely stay here again but would love to in the summer to enjoy the lake.
