Pet Friendly with Double-Decker Dock, Beautiful View

Union County STR# 014520

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 pet friendly 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.

Kudzu Cabin is a NO SMOKING, NO VAPING property. Contact owners with questions.

When you're not enjoying the sun from the boat dock, making use of boat rentals (see notes below about Nottely Boat Club), or hiking around the area, you'll find plenty of other things to do at Kudzu Cabin. We have kayaks and several life vests, hula-hoops, a corn hole game, bocce ball set, and horse shoes, as well as plenty of books, games, poker set, cards, and videos for the kids to watch.

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.

Please carefully read the policies shown in this listing for important information and requirements. Photo ID and a signed contract are required before a booking is final.

Kudzu Cabin for the win!
Trying to find a place big enough for our children, nieces and nephews is no easy feat. KUDZU CABIN was the perfect fit! Not only were the accommodations just right for our group, it allowed for the inclusion of our daughter and her family and brother and his family who live in Blairsville. The double decker dock provided excellent space for everyone to gather and accommodated my brothers speedboat as well as a pontoon. Nottley Lake is beautiful and the home well situated and well stocked with everything needed to enjoy the clear, warm lake. Communications with the owners went very smoothly, check-in the easiest I have experienced. You will not regret renting Kudzu Cabin for a family gathering. One word of caution, the steps from the driveway level down to the lake access are a little steep and care should be taken if you choose to go that way rather than from basement level. My husband fell and cut himself pretty bad. He should have been wearing sneakers rather than his Italian loafers. Just an FYI. KUDZU CABIN contributed to an AMAZING family get together with beautiful memories.

Great location, great house, awesome owners. We had our annual family vacation with 10 adults. Everyone had a bed and bathroom. Plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to spread out. Amazing outdoor porches. Fully equipped kitchen that even had the crockpot I forgot - super handy. Lots provided for lake adventures - kayaks, life vests, dock chairs and the big lake float was used daily. We didn't rent a boat, but probably will for a day next time. Blairsville is a quick drive and has everything you need. Local wineries are great. THANK YOU for the memories.

Very nice stay at the Kudzu Cabin
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Kudzu Cabin. The house was large enough for our party of 10; plenty of beds, several sitting areas, well-quipped kitchen, more than enough bathrooms, and great covered outdoor areas. Access to the dock concerned us a little as one of our sons is 6 weeks out from major back surgery but it turned out to be very manageable and almost a blessing in disguise. We all got our steps in over the week. We spend a lot of time at the boat dock; floating and swimming in the lake. Communication with the owner was very easy and we received prompt replies to our questions. We’re already talking about next year; hopefully at the same cabin. Definitely would recommend this cabin.

Great cabin for the family
We enjoyed our family get together at the cabin in June. There was plenty of room for everyone from grandparents to toddler. The cabin was clean and well stocked. We've been vacationing on the lake for many years and unfortunately this was the first time that it rained all week. We still made the best of it and fit it some boating and swim time in between the rain showers. The dock is great although it is a bit of a trek from the house down to the dock. Since the cabin is located up in a cove it was nice not to have much boat traffic going by. I recommend this cabin to other families.

Peaceful Perfection
Our vacation to Nottely Lake was absolutely wonderful and Kudzu Cabin was a large part of the reason! The cabin is decorated very tastefully and the wooded setting provided lots of wildlife encounters. In the mornings, we sat on the main deck sipping our coffee and listening to the world wake up- woodpeckers pecking, turkey’s calling and many other species of birds saying good morning. After days of hanging on the huge dock and pontooning, we gathered on the back porch and enjoyed a crackling fire each night. We were serenaded by frogs, whippoorwills and owls. We have vacationed in many accommodations but this cabin provided the most well appointed kitchen we have ever encountered. We all love to cook and were so very pleased with the high quality implements provided at this cabin. This was the perfect place to meet our kids and grands (we live in Mississippi and they reside in Kentucky) and we are making plans to meet at Kudzu Cabin again soon. 💗

Pictures are misleading
The main reason we rented this house was the view of Lake Nottley. The lake is apparently drained every October per the locals. The landlords should have let us know this prior to our final payment. We should have been informed that the pictures on the VRBO site were not accurate.

Off the GRID Getaway!
We stayed at the "Kudzu cabin" for a family gathering which was halfway for all family members traveling from Illinois and Florida. The cabin was true to all of the amazing pictures. Everyone in the family had their own bedroom and bathroom. Loved the size of the kitchen and all the kitchen necessities needed to cook nightly for our foodie crew. Loved Lake Nottely as we did rent a pontoon boat and explored daily. The boat dock was a bit farther than expected and the walkway was steep with lots of roots. Some of the outdoor sports equipment could a use a little updating. We loved the property and location and would definitely go back.

Lake House!
This is a really nice rental with plenty of room. We had 6 people and a small dog fit us great with 2 extra rooms! We trailered our 25' Pontoon to the lake which was awesome! Parking for trailer was in front of house. The dock was a nice hang out spot! We tried fishing and tubing out on the lake was a lot of fun. We also did some local hiking to waterfalls and mountain biking in Ellijay. Like the small town and the house was great for entertaining! Bring your food to cook as well there are some local restaurants but we preferred to cook ourselves. Would rent again!
