Lake Nottely was formed in 1942 by the damming of the Nottely River for flood control & power generation. It is 20 miles long and stretches from Blairsville, GA almost to the NC border. Approximately 70% of it's shoreline is US Forest Service and therefore undeveloped so although there are many homes and boats on the lake you can often find a cove all your own for a peaceful swim. Enjoy a day of fishing for Largemouth, Smallmouth, Spotted, or Striped Bass, Black Crappie, Yellow Perch, or Catfish. Lake levels are controlled by the Tennessee Valley Authority & fluctuate based on time of year, rainfall, flood control, & power generation. This is typical of most lakes in the North Georgia Mountains. Lake Nottely is usable year round, but our dock is usable from approximately late April through early September most years. Lake level information is available online at http://nottely.uslakes.info/Level/.
Other amenities include free parking, a Level 2 EV charger, high speed fiber optic internet, a washer and dryer for guest use, a fully stocked kitchen including with coffee bar & spice rack, and a life-size Jenga game (for outdoor use only please). Motion activated cameras are located on the exterior of our property for security purposes. UCSTR License # 012216
