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.

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. And of course, the nearby towns of Blairsville, Blue Ridge, and Murphy, NC have entertainment events, art shows, and other attractions, year-round.

If you’re looking for a boat to rent, the closest is Nottely Boat Club & Marina, less than 10 minutes from the cabin by car. Find our website at CoolestPlaceInGeorgia.

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.

Note that it is our policy not to accept reservations more than a year in advance. If you have any questions about future reservations that far in advance, please contact Val.

Beautiful home on Lake Nottely
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.

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.

Family Lake Vacation.
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.

A lovely, spacious and well equipped cabin with ample relaxing and recreational amenities.
This was our 2nd stay in this spacious cabin. It is clean and offers comfort for a large group. We have 16 family members who enjoyed the many amenities. Our only suggestion is to add a smaller refrigerator on the lower level to accommodate larger groups such as ours.

The house is decorated and furnished nicely. Lots of indoor and outdoor space. No complaints. Kitchen needed a better skillet. Otherwise the kitchen was well equipped.

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.
