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?













Hi, I have to say many of the prices you show here look very reasonable. I think I would need to research the areas a little more in order to make an informed decision. I would be most interested to know for example whether any of the lakes have restaurants that you can access by boat. Also whether there are any small towns or settlements on the banks of the lakes that could be attractive places to visit or whether a vacation in these locations is mainly about seclusion and enjoying time with the people you are with. Some of my best and most memorable vacations were on small riverboats, or on sailing boats for just a week. So I would definitely be in the market to rent one of these places. Best regards, Andy
Hi Andy, There are a handful of seasonal restaurants on most of these lakes (and you could drive your boat to get there), but the lakes are generally more residential and natural than built up with a town on the shore. It’s a really nice way to enjoy the mountains!
I am seriously so happy that you have provided multiple options that actually have boats included. Because I do not have a boat I want to go to these properties to vacation and have a boat already in the water. Thank you so much for being so thorough and concise with this article it has been helpful
Hi Misael, I agree that this is a very convenient way to have a memorial Summer vacation in North Georgia. Enjoy your trip!
Georgia is a beautiful place and these vacation rentals look like amazing deals for groups. If we split the costs then they’d be a steal. The private rentals sound more ideal for me and my family since there would be kids. And wow, I didn’t realize how many gorgeous lakes Georgia has. And if this is only north GA, I can only imagine what the southern part of the state has. So many hidden spots that the average tourist would never consider looking into. I’m so glad I found this. I will use this guide and others when I’m looking for a great group getaway. Having a boat would make so many great memories, too. Depending on time of year the bug spray is definitely an important item to bring.
Hi Max, These Georgia mountain lakes are fantastic places for a family vacation and especially if you’re able to have a boat conveniently available at your rental house! Definitely pack the bug spray for any Summer trips. I hope you and your family have a wonderful trip!
My best friend is interested in taking his girlfriend out on vacation, but he’s not sure where to start. The idea of taking her to a place with lakes and watery bodies is perfect! I’ll be sure to recommend that he look for a vacation rental that suits his needs.
Thanks so much for sharing Zachary!
