Welcome to OCNOC on spectacular Lake Nottely
“Union County, GA STR License # 001858”
With 1.4 acres situated on Lake Nottely, you can kick back on our large deck with spectacular views overlooking the lake channel as breezes cool even on the hottest of days. If you like to swim, jump into deep water, float, kayak, paddleboard, peddle boat, or take your own boat to explore, you can experience it all here. If you wish to fish, some of the best fishing of Lake Nottely is just off of our dock, where large stripers and catfish have been caught. If you like to explore towns and mountainsides, we are just minutes from the Blairsville town square, 20 minutes from Blueridge, and 30 minutes from Murphy, NC. If you like to hike - the famous Appalachian Trail, breathtaking waterfalls (Helton Falls, DeSoto Falls, Blue Hole Falls, High Shoals Falls +), and mountaintop views (Bald Mountain, Blood Mountain, and more) are close. You can golf (Butternut, Old Union County), white water raft, tube (Pappy's), play mini-golf, bowl, and watch a movie all nearby. If you need refreshments, wineries, distilleries, and dining destinations are close too. (Living Water Winery and Vineyard, Odom, Paradise, Crane Creek, Granddaddy Mimms Distilling, Roadside Distilling, The Sawmill Place, The View, Michaelee's Italian Life Cafe, Lucky's, Coppertop, Hole-In-The-Wall, plus others.) If you like to shop or antique, there are places galore. There is a full list of entertainment in the cabin Guidebook. It's located in the cabin. Message me if you have questions.
If you are in the area to attend a wedding, the riding stables, a Pickleball tournament, or other events, stay with us to go and then get away from it all.

The black trunk is stocked full of fun games and warm, soft throws for your enjoyment. Snuggle up while you play games and warm by the wood-burning stove (Firewood is on the terrace). Also, if you are a pool shark, it is time to show off your skills on our 8 ft. pool table. The lake level sports a bar with a mini-fridge, a mini-icemaker, and a hot/cold water and K-cup dispenser. There is a full-size coffee maker under the bar. There are bar tools, plastic and paperware for your use. Behind the pool table is an armoire' where lake towels, warm throws, hats, bags, and the "I need it" basket are kept. Feel free to use the fresh towels and blankets. Also, you can hang your wet towels here to dry for future uses. If you forgot something, no problem, we have you covered. You may just find what you need in the "I need it" basket where there are sunglasses, readers, nail files, a hairdryer, bug spray, etc. You may also find toiletries, like toothbrushes and first-aid items, in the medicine cabinets, and under the bathroom lavatories. We have tried to include meaningful items that may make your stay more comfortable.
Open the sliding glass doors and step onto the lake-level terrace. There you can sink into the sofa and chairs or eat at the four top. To the left are floats and water items for your use. Just steps away, you will find the stone fire pit for an evening of fireside stories and smores. (The marshmallow sticks and smore makers are in the kitchen pantry cabinet.)

LAKE & DOCK
As you stand inside the cabin looking out, it appears that the lake is an extension of the cabin. In fact, it is just a few steps outside the lake level, where you will find the dock. On the terrace or on the dock you will find multiple-sized life jackets, six floats, two paddleboards, and two kayaks, all with paddles. You must wear a lifejacket on any watercraft or risk getting a ticket from the GA Lake Patrol.
The dock has a broad platform for sunning, chairs for relaxing, two benches, and a table for early morning coffee, afternoon snacks, or a glass of wine or two.
If you have a license (get online), you can fish right off of our dock or take out a peddle boat for cove fishing. Our cove is known for some of the best catches on the lake. You will find fishing rods, a bait trap, and a fishing box with lures on the terrace. Good luck in catching the big one! Live bait can be purchased at the marinas or Walmart only 12-15 min. away.
