Lakefront Gem, Mtn views, dock + HOT TUB
***Please inquire about our 20% off Spring Sale***, and we will apply discount. Offer is only good for stays before May 22, 2025. Union County, GA STR License # 012060 - The Nottely Nest could be your perfect getaway, with a year round deep water dock. From the moment you walk in, you will see panaramic mountain and lake views from most every room. You can even see the highest point in GA - Brasstown Bald. Lake Nottely is not your typical “close to Atlanta” lake. It is a TVA mountain lake with the majority of the shoreline owned by the US Forest Service. Some of the best fishing in the Southeast - known for Striped Bass, Largemouth Bass, and Black Crappy.
We have a fantastic hot tub with a view, right outside the porch doors for those chilly nights. A double Kayak and Paddle Board are also provided.
Nottely Marina is closed from Oct. 31 - March. If you need gas from the marina, you can call 24 hours in advance, and they will try to arrange a meeting. 706-745-3638.

- Concrete walkways traverse the hill to small sets of steps.
The Dock:
We have a Double Decker Aluminum dock with a single slip and tie-ons. This dock is so fun! Tandem Kayak and Stand Up Paddle Boards are available for your use.
***The lake levels go down significantly outside of season. Full Pool is approximately mid April - August. The lake levels drop up to 14 feet off season. We are fortunate enough to have deep water for your year round enjoyment. The end of the dock is around 30’ deep with full pool.
Our insurance requires us to get signed liability waivers from all adults, specifically for the amenities.
It is common practice in the area to let dogs roam off leash. There are dogs in the neighborhood owned by the neighbors that have always been friendly to us.
If you are planning to bring a dog, please contact us in regards to easy walking trails.
We are in a great location on the lake just 5 minutes to town. We have provided an attractions binder to illustrate some of the many popular activities in the area.
