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, with spectacular lake and mountain views, where you can park your boat or jet-ski 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 5 BR, 5 & 2, ½ bath cabin that sleeps up to 10 in beds (per Union County Short-Term Rental code), just minutes from Blairsville and charming Blue Ridge. NO parties. We offer a FAMILY and/or BUSINESS PROFESSIONAL setting. Kudzu Cabin is a NO SMOKING, NO VAPING property. Contact owners with questions.

WE HAVE A STRICT PET POLICY. Please read further for details and in our rules and policies. No exceptions.

The main level features cozy seating in the sunroom, a two-sided, floor-to-ceiling fireplace, peeking into an open living room, dining room, fully-equipped kitchen, and powder room. The dining room seats 8, plus 4 bar stools at the kitchen island. In the living room, you'll find a TV, with DVD player and small DVD library.

Off the living room is a master bedroom, with a king size bed and private bath (shower/tub combo) with double vanity.

Step out onto the wrap-around deck, where the outdoor barn-wood table seats 8-10, a pub style table seats 4, along with plenty of rocking and other chairs to crowd around a gorgeous outdoor fireplace. Relax in the hammock, or enjoy a rousing round of corn-hole.

In the upstairs loft is a master bedroom, with a king size bed and on-suite private bath with double vanity, leading to a shared shower/tub combo, leading to the loft powder room. The loft has a queen size sleeper sofa, an assortment of books to read, and a telescope for night time star-gazing! Find sheets and pillows for the sleeper sofa in the shower/tub room closet.

The basement level has a comfy living area with a gas log, two-sided fireplace, table for games, as well as a shelf stocked with games, playing cards, and books, and a flat screen TV with VCR and video library, and streaming available via an old-school Apple TV where you can login to your own Netflix account and more, or pair apps on your own Apple device. The three bedrooms include one with a queen size bed, one with a bunk bed (full size on bottom) and twin trundle, and a third with two bunk bed sets (one with full size on bottom). All three bedrooms have a separate bath with shower.

The laundry room is located in the basement with a full size washer/dryer and an iron and ironing board. The house has a landline phone, Smart TV on the main level (equipped with YouTube TV where you can login as a guest to stream), and internet with Wi-Fi. The bathrooms are all stocked with plenty of towels and a hair dryer. We even have several beach towels and rags in the basement laundry room for use on the dock, or to clean up a mess. (Please don't stain our white towels!) For your convenience, we provide a vacuum, brooms, and a mop.

If you have a small dog you'd like to bring along (NON-SHEDDING ONLY), please ask us about our pet policy. Additional fees apply. Weight limit is 30 pounds, with a limit of 2 dogs. Dogs are not allowed on furniture.

When you're not enjoying the sun on the deck, making use of boat rentals, or hiking around the area, you'll find plenty of other things to do at Kudzu Cabin. We have kayaks and several life vests, several noodles for your use, 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.

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.

Whether seeking a retreat for a family reunion, gathering with close friends, or a business function, Kudzu Cabin, Lake Nottely, and the surrounding areas have much to offer, year-round. Book your next trip with us!

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

Please carefully read the notes in the rates section of our 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.

Please see a detailed description of Kudzu Cabin House Rules/Policies to be received upon receipt of down payment. We strictly enforce said policies, which are in compliance with Union County Short-term Rental Code requirements.

5 Star Experience
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!
