Vacation Rentals with Boats on Lake Nottely
Lake Nottely is a beautiful mountain lake near Blairsville, GA and makes a great choice for Summer boating. Approximately 70 percent of the shoreline on Lake Nottely is owned by the U.S. Forest Service and is natural and undeveloped.
Visitors to the lake should note that Lake Nottely is a TVA working lake that does a major water drawdown every year, usually right after Labor Day. In a year with normal rainfall, the water level in Nottely Reservoir varies about 20 feet from summer to winter to provide seasonal flood storage. The water in many coves will go away during this time, and boats will be pulled out of the water until next season. That also means that generally, boat rentals are not available from mid-September through the end of April (when lake levels are lower).

What is your favorite about these North Georgia lake house rentals with a boat?













I really like how you show rental properties with a lakefront for boats on Lake Blue Ridge and that it is within reason to obtain one of these properties even if you are not a particularly high earner. Do you think that Lake Blue Ridge is one of the most scenic places to rent property in the United States? What makes it different from campgrounds?
Hi Jon, I think the main difference from campgrounds here is that these properties include some nice accomodations with all the modern comforts. Adding a boat with a dock is a perk that can be hard to find — even when buying a property!
Lake Blue Ridge is quite scenic and a great place to combine getting lake time and mountain time! Even if you don’t rent a home on the lakefront, it’s still possible to rent a boat at the lake for the day and enjoy a fantastic time!
These are absolutely beautiful, idyllic and picturesque locations. It’s great that you’ve included dog friendly accommodation too as that’s important to me. Also, listing the available activities is great e.g kayaks etc. I like a little bit of adventure and activity so I’m glad you’ve covered these options too. I will definitely consider these locations in the future. The Lake Notterly properties are my favourites. Thanks
Hi Martine, I came across one of these listings by accident and realized what a wonderful idea that it is to include a boat on a rental of a waterfront property! I’ve rented lake homes and I’ve rented boats — getting that all taken care of in one place (on site) is a huge way to get a great start to a vacation.
Lake Nottely is a beautiful option for summertime boating fun!
Detailed view of the lake holidays for all nature lovers. Certainly one way to avoid city crowds and enjoy the clean air and beautiful nature by the water. With a note for the things you need to make your vacation more enjoyable, as well as pricing guidelines for everyone to find something for themselves.
Hi Mirza, I hope that you found this Georgia mountain lakefront rental information to be helpful as you narrow down your holiday choices!
Hello there. This is a fantastic article for people who want to escape from big city life and enjoy nature and small town life. You gave us so beautiful places from we can choose and also described everything that the potential renters would like to know. The only thing I regret is that I am not in the USA so I cannot visit these lovely places as soon as I’d like. But in the future when I do visit the USA, I will seriously consider the Georgia mountains and stay in one of these cabins with a boat! Thank you very much for this useful information.
Hi Petar, It really is a nice option to be able to have a boat available on site when you get to your vacation home!!
Wow I really really enjoyed this post. I live in New Zealand but we are planning a N America trip for two years time. This did not occur to me as an option but you have ma salivating over the thought of it.
This combines 3 things that I really am fanatical about; Cabin stays, lakeside locations and the ability to navigate the lake by boat and maybe catch the odd bass!
Great post, great job thanks, My wife and I are seriously looking at some of these fantastic options now for that trip in two years time, thanks for the inspiration.
