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.

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.

I have rented many houses on North GA lakes over 22 years and this house is one of my top picks. It is well-built with heavy wood and stone, clean and comfortable on a country-feel property overlooking a large wooded point with private boat house. The owner was very responsive and pleasant to deal with.
We truly enjoyed a family get together for the week. Spacious for our family of 9. Fantastic deck for evening meals and just relaxing. Everyone had a favorite hammock! Great dock and fast access to the lake for tubing and evening cocktail cruise. We had a blast and will be back next year! Thanks so much for your hospitality and great communication during our stay!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving vacation with our family. The cabin was very spacious and comfortable, with plenty of room to spread out, and the kids had a blast playing around the lakefront area.
Thank you for the review. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay, and we’re happy to have helped make it a positive one!

Need more garbage cans on the outside of the cabin. Really enjoyed the amenities, dock, floating pad, etc. Recommend this place for family vacations.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your advice, but I will say that we don't usually have issues with four trash cans for a week long rental.
We're glad you enjoyed the new addition of the floating mat. We just love it ourselves and appreciate that you took good care of it!
We hope you'll continue to think of Kudzu Cabin for your future lake adventures!
Thank you for the review! We’re glad you enjoyed your stay.

We're so happy the house was right for your gathering and that you enjoyed your stay! You were the perfect renters and we'd love to have you return - and receive our return guest discount!
This house was so perfect for our party of 8 adults. Beds were comfty and there was plenty of room for everyone with 2 master suites and then the “kids” now in their 20’s just took over the basement. We loved how there were so many bathrooms and the kitchen was stocked which made cooking easy. We enjoyed the fireflies, kayaking, and fishing off the dock. The hosts really did think of everything and we wanted for nothing. We appreciated the strong WiFi, loved all the comfy outdoor seating, the float mat and making smores in the outdoor fireplace. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re glad you found our little home away from home to be well suited for your group. We also want to thank you for leaving the house in such great condition when you left. We welcome your return visit when the time is right!
We had a lovely time catching up with friends and family bonding time at the Kudzu Cabin! The cabin was very well stocked and nicely laid out for our three families to enjoy! Plenty of room for our group of 12. We would love to go back!
Our family enjoyed the stay at Kudzu cabin. We fished and had fun on the floating dock. Made smores and played games on the big porch with fireplace on the rainy days. Fall colors and view great.

Thank you for taking time to write a review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay.
This cabin was among the best vacation homes we've ever rented. The house is large, spotless, well stocked and full of thoughtful details that made our stay comfortable and fun. Lake Nottely is pristine and peaceful, and this home sits on a quiet cove with very little boat traffic and great views. We had a great week at Kudu Cabin and highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful lake house with deep water dock. We brought our boat and enjoyed Lake Nottely. The lake is very deep and clean water. The house is great for a large group and the covered deck was great to sit outside and enjoy the pleasant weather. We will definitely book this house again.

Thank you for taking time to review our home and your time on Lake Nottely. We couldn’t agree with you more, and look forward to having you back in the future!
There were 3 families sharing this home on the water and we had the best time. It was clean, well stocked with everything you could need and so much fun!!! The location is beautiful and so quiet. The dock is awesome and the water was clean and the perfect temperature for Labor Day weekend. I would highly recommend it.

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!
