About this property
Lake Nottely Vacation Rental, Blairsville. King Beds. Pontoon boat available
The lake is your backyard! We have lots of things to do right here at the property, and we love families! For the kiddos, we have a high chair and a Pak 'n Play, along with toys, books and games.
In the summertime we have a pontoon boat for rent* as well as pedal boats, and kayaks that come with the rental. We provide more on-site fun with a movie theater, a pool table, electronic dart board, cornhole, horseshoes, and more.
The entire lower level of our home has been renovated to accommodate guests.
The lake is your backyard, with a short and easy walk down to the cove.
We have a private dock in a secluded cove. You can rent our 24-foot pontoon boat for $250 a day during season (May through mid-September, please check for availability as we also rent it to other area cabins).
Enjoy a large great room with 12-foot ceilings and a stone fireplace. The space has a theater room, pool table, dart board, dining area for 6 (with a table that expands for extra guests) and a small kitchenette. There is more seating outside on a huge covered patio, with a grill, dining table and chairs. The large backyard leads down to the cove. We have kayaks, a bonfire pit, corn hole and horseshoes.
It's about 10 minutes to town, where you will find grocery stores, restaurants, and local shopping.
THINGS TO NOTE: We are in residence upstairs, but you will have complete privacy with a separate entrance and a locked door on the stairs to the upper level. We have 4 inches of sound-suppressing foam over the door, and a gate at the top of the stairs as well. We frequently never meet or even see our guests.
* Please check availability for the pontoon boat.
The "kitchenette" is a small former wet bar that has been outfitted with a coffee maker, refrigerator, microwave, convection burner, crock pot and griddle. There is no oven or stove, but there is a gas grill outside with a side burner for pasta, rice, or anything you would cook on a stove.
Lake Nottely is a TVA "working" lake, which means there is a big draw-down in the Fall. Our cove is usually full from mid-April through September. They begin to drop the water after Labor Day.
We have a washer and dryer upstairs you are welcome to use. We plan to install one downstairs eventually, hopefully by next year.
Unfortunately, we can't accept pets, but Nottely Oaks Animal Hospital and Pet Resort is approximately a mile down the road. They will happily board your furry friends, and release them for daytime adventures, to be returned later on. If you're interested in this option, just look them up. I would happily post their website and phone number, but VRBO won't let me.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Hi Lourdes, we are so glad you want to come back this summer! That is the best response we can get. We would be happy to host you again.
The place was very spacious, clean, and easy to access when we arrived. Unfortunately, the lake had been drained a good bit that we were unaware of, but we were still able to enjoy the lake by kayak. The AC was not working and was still out when we left. We were lucky enough to have cool weather at night, and with the 3 sliding glass doors being open with screens, it kept us comfortable. The owners were very nice and did what they could to accommodate us. "Even when I accidentally locked us out of the rental," HAHA Would go back in the summer for sure when the lake is up, and the AC is fixed!

Hi Bobra, thanks for the honest review. I make it very clear on our page under "THINGS TO NOTE" that the lake is down during the winter and early spring.
It is a little frustrating for me, because people don't read the listing description. (I also have signs on all the doors about how not to lock yourself out). :-)
I'm so sorry about the AC, it is fixed now and I appreciate your understanding. We hope to see you guys again!
Beautiful place, fully equipped We loved our mini stay, enjoyed the theater, watched princess bride, played pool, went on kayaking, enjoyed the nice fire-pit, made S’moresPlayed board gamesThe host couple was friendly and responsive

Thank you for the great review Ruby, we try very hard and it is always gratifying to know that our guests enjoyed their stay and made use of what we offer.
We hope to see you again soon!
Great place. Peaceful if you want it. Games, darts, billiards and the media room was great to unwind in. Beds and pillows were comfortable.

We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time with us Brian. We hope you will stay with us in the future, and perhaps next time we will get the opportunity to meet you.
We had a wonderful stay! Doug was so helpful making sure we had everything we needed. We were hauling a 18 foot trailer with full size rigs and he made sure we would be able to get in and out. Although the driveway was extremely steep we were able to make it workout with the help of Doug. Beautiful place and every morning we seen deer.
We had an awesome stay! Doug and Margie made our stay with two young kids amazing with all they provided; a highchair, booster seat, toys, endless fun on the lake and so so so much more. Highly recommend!

We are so happy we finally got to meet you guys! Your girls are adorable and I'm glad they wanted to meet the "people who live upstairs." :-)
It was a pleasure to host your sweet family and we hope to see you again.
This was our 5th stay and as usual it was great. Doug and Margie are great hosts. We will probably stay a few more times as we are in the middle of building a house in the area.
It was a great time, Doug and Margie are amazing people and made the stay so much better! Would definitely come back

About the host
Hosted by Margie Schramke
We built this home in 2001 and raised 4 kids in it. Now our nest is empty, and we have a lot of extra space!
Why they chose this property
We chose Blairsville because we have always loved the area. We purchased the lot back in the 90s, and finally decided to move up here from South Florida in 2001 and build our dream home on the lake.
What makes this property unique
We love our private cove, the fresh mountain air, quiet neighborhood, and playing on the lake.
