Our home was recently renovated and features 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a gourmet kitchen, open living/dining space, incredible screen porch and multiple decks with hot tub to relax in.

This level has a bedroom (king) with private bath and a second bedroom (king) off the kitchen area with full bath. All main level areas have access to the 60-foot screen porch from the open living space or either bedroom! Enjoy a wall of glass windows/doors give sweeping views of the lake from all living spaces.

The screened porch is a favorite location at Happy Retreat! Views are simply amazing from here. We have a large deck off the screen porch for grilling, dining, soaking in the hot tub and relaxing overlooking the lake. Towards the waters edge we have a large deck and covered pavilion with a fan and stone fireplace, with firewood provided. Enjoy sunbathing, time around the fireplace roasting s’mores and dining by the lake.

Please see our Welcome Guide for a list of the MANY things to do in the area!

We do have 4 cameras on the exterior of the home, doorbell, two viewing the trash cans, to ensure trash removal, and of the dock, to monitor water level since we are on a reservoir lake. Nottely is a reservoir lake - during the late fall until early spring water may not be available at the dock. Please use TVA resources to see typical averages, or please inquire if we anticipate water at dock during your stay.

We traveled from florida with our family. This house was amazing and had all the amenities you could ask for. We enjoyed fishing, swimming and boating from the dock. The sunset views from the dock were amazing. Everyone enjoyed all the deer that would pass through the neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again!

My family had a wonderful experience! The home was very clean and the perfect size for two large families with kids. So many positive things to say about this property…The downstairs area was the perfect kids retreat — our group enjoyed hours of fun at the air hockey table. The main level’s open space was great for socializing, playing games (lots of fun board games and puzzles) and enjoying meals (kitchen equipped with lots of cooking gadgets). There were plenty of cozy blankets, lots of lake towels and very comfortable beds. The extra large washing machine and dryer was a bonus. The spacious screened porch was one of our favorite spots to dine, relax and enjoy the spectacular lake sunsets. Above all, the outdoor area was incredible — nicely manicured grass area for the kids to play, deck with fireplace for s’mores (had to buy our own wood), and the perfect dock for our boat rental. The only “nice to have” for this property would have been a paddle board and/or kayak (however we bought an inflatable paddle board at the last minute which worked great). The owners provided lots of information about the area and were very responsive with any questions we had. We would definitely consider visiting this beautiful home in the future.

Excellent location for acccess to the lake for all water activities; skiing, tubing, fishing, swimming, or just lakeside hanging out. The deck near the water is a great feature to serve as a place to eat, hangout, or have a fire in the evening. Unlike a lot of properties, it has a short walk and gentle slope to to the lake. The property location is easy to access and plenty of parking with a circular driveway. A short drive to Blairsville or Murphy. Our family had a great week at the property!

Loved the place! Very clean, good amenities, hot tub worked well, they had games to play, worked well for 10 adults. The only semi complaint I have is that the furnace kept waking me up bc we had the bedroom that had the loud furnace in it. Would definitely stay here again but would love to in the summer to enjoy the lake.

This is a lovely rental home very well appointed. The beds are very comfortable and there are plenty of towels and extra blankets. The kitchen has everything needed and then extra. The covered deck was perfect for early morning wake ups and the hot tub was a wonderful way to end the day.

We had two families (including 5 kids) who needed a little getaway. This was the PERFECT place for us! Great spaces to all be together, but plenty of space when anyone needed time to themselves. The kitchen was the best stocked kitchen we have ever seen. The beds were super comfortable plus they offered plenty of extra towels and blankets. They also had indoor blankets for cozying up on the couch, and outdoor blankets for sipping morning coffee when it was still chilly outside. Our only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer! But we definitely hope to be back!
