Our home is located 100 miles north of Atlanta on the shores of Lake Nottely in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Georgia. The lake is 20 miles long with 70% of the 110 miles of shoreline protected National Forest land making it one of the greatest relaxation stations in the Southeast.

Newly renovated - our home features a wide wrap around front porch - perfect for Morning coffee and watching sunsets. There is a double covered dock however, both slips are full. You can always tie up to the dock if need be. We have our own private boat launch and have 2 canoes, 2 kayaks for your use.

Guests have access to most water toys including noodles, tubes, canoe, paddle boards, kayaks, paddles, kids and adult life jackets with full access and use of the dock.

Mountain lakes also provide cooler summer temperatures with average highs of 84 and average lows of 62 during the "heat" of the summer and great crisp weather in the spring and fall for fishing, apple picking, or seeing the beautiful mountain colors. The lake is crystal clear and is a true enjoyment for swimming from April - October! Lake Nottely is part of the Tennessee Valley Authority and is a power generation lake that was built in 1941.

We are less than 2 Hours from Atlanta, Chattanooga, Asheville, and Knoxville, for anyone interested in outdoor mountain adventure. Winter, Summer, Spring, or Fall,

Second year in a row! Our new go-to!

After staying last year, our family overwhelmingly said they wanted to go back. The house is beautiful. The access to the lake is perfect! No huge inclines to deal with and convenient to everything. Looking forward to booking for next year!

Great views and we had a great time!

We had a great time here since our goal was to spend the bulk of our summer days on the boat and in the lake. When we weren’t in the water we were on the deck enjoying the gorgeous views. Our only complaint was that the house wasn’t very clean when we arrived. The owners responded very quickly to all of our questions and offered to send the cleaning crew back to remedy the uncleanliness (but at that point we were in the house and did t want to do that).

Perfect Vacation

I literally can't say enough good things about this property! Perfectly fit our large group. The downstairs area was perfect for the kids and allowed them to have their own space separate from the adults. The beds were super comfortable. Plenty of seating for everyone which is usually an issue for our large group. The kitchen was nicely stocked. Plenty of bath towels and beach towels for everyone. The home is secluded and has perfect access to the water. The view is absolutely amazing! The host was amazing and very responsive. We can't wait to book again!

Perfect setup for large family and kids

This was our second time staying here. It is a great setup for our family and kids. We will be returning again next summer. We have absolutely no complaints. If we had one wish it would be for a better grill, like an Egg or pellet grill, but the propane grill does get the job done.

Nottley Lake beauty!

Loved our visit on Nottley Lake! Our family have bounced around different lakes in NC and this year decided to try Nottley. It was beautiful! Loved not having to stress over the driveway and walk down to the water! This home was beautiful on a point, low lying so easy to walk to dock for us all which is exactly what we were hoping for. Only real hiccup was the 5th bedroom or the small by room on main level. It doesn’t have ac and the fan can only do so much so we ended up not using it after the first night and rearranging the group a bit to accommodate. Add an a/c duct and it would be really nice. Otherwise - we would definitely stay here again!

Great place!

It was perfect for our large family. Has everything you need right on site. Loved the dock, kayaks, fire pit, porch, large rooms and living space, and a spacious kitchen. Our only wish was to have a Traegger or Egg grill. The propane and Webber grill got the job done but a man can dream.

Everything was perfect

It was all we had hoped for! I would say the house was exactly as pictured but it was actually a little better. The owner was super responsive when we had questions and the check in / check out was so easy. The house was loaded with everything you could need...movie couch for kids, lake toys, room to eat and play games, porch to rock in rocking chairs and fire pit for s’mores. It was one of my best vrbo experiences!! Thank you for everything and we are already planning our next booking!!

Wonderful lake house

Tigger’s Folly is a spacious, comfortable, homey place where you can relax, enjoy water activities, fire pit, hammock, cornhole, fishing and more. The views are spectacular (bring binoculars to watch the ducks and other birds) and enjoy the huge covered porch with rocking chairs. We loved this place!

Great Family Fun!

We had such a wonderful experience at this lake house....The star of the show is definitely the view as this property sits on a prime piece of land. You have easy access to the water either via a boat launch, beach-like area (perfect for getting on the kayaks and paddle board) or from the dock. The view is unobstructed with only only trees and mountains in the distance. We couldn't believe how few boats we saw with it being the week before the July 4th holiday. Another highlight was the fire pit with plenty of chopped wood to use. We would enjoy these every evening at sunset! There was plenty of room in the interior with two master bedrooms and a basement with two bunk rooms. Perfect for our middle-school aged kids to get away from the adults! Overall, a great lake home for families. We would definitely rent this place again.

Incredible stay

This house is all about family! There is a lot for everyone to do: Kayaks, canoes, a basketball hoop, a ping pong table, board games... We had 3 families together yet it didn't feel crowded. The bunk bed rooms were clutch. The kitchen comes fully stocked (salt, spices, oils, kitchen bags....) and we ended up leaving items behind for the next family. Check-in process was super easy. The kids loved the basement room. And the views of the lake were absolutely stunning. It's the perfect lakeside getaway!

Great Lake House

We really enjoyed the beautiful lake house. Overall, a great property that feels private with great access to the lake. The house has been updated and they did a nice job with renovations. A few minor issues. The charcoal grill grate needs to be replaced. The bigger issue was inability to use the kayaks since there were holes in the bottom. It was disappointing as that is one of our favorite activities. Otherwise, great stay. The owner is responsive and communicates quickly.
