About this property

'Happyhour', Norris Lake, Cov Dock w/slide, by Deerfield, Lg Fire Pit, sleeps 30

Happy Hour is a lake front home designed around the celebration of family and friends. It is ideal for reunions, gatherings, and the entertainment of both large and intimate groups. Happy Hour accommodates up to 30 guests in beds and is equipped with ample table seating. Located on an acre lot with more than 200 feet of private water frontage & built right on the 1044 (the lowest and closest to the lake that the Tennessee Valley Water Authority will allow).

This 8 bedroom home offers 2 full Living levels complete with a full kitchen, living room, dining area, as well as a private deck with a full outdoor furniture set and grill on each level. A 3rd walkout lower level is equipped with a play area, foosball and TV, and two bedrooms designed as kid friendly bunk rooms, along with one full bath. This 3rd level is very private and is sure to accommodate the more active evening activities, while providing tranquility to the upper two floors. The 3rd level walks out to a private deck which extends to a secluded hot tub deck equipped with a new hot tub overlooking the water. Beyond the hot tub deck is a walking path and fire pit area on the water’s edge.

The Covered boat dock is oversized, constructed with Trex decking and is equipped with two personal watercraft drive up docks, a water slide, and a large sunning deck with a Tiki Bar and is ideal for playing at the water or just hanging out. The Main level of the house is located on the street level with no steps to the water. This is ideal for those wanting to avoid steps while still enjoying the breathtaking views of the water from this level.

An 18 x 32 foot fire pit and camping area has just been added on the water’s edge. It is elevated and overlooks the water & is perfect for evening gatherings or early Spring and Fall activities. Like the rest of Happy Hour, it was designed with the group gathering/family in mind. Sharing stories with your friend/relatives around the fire or just roasting marshmallows with your grandchildren is a special experience you will remember for a lifetime. Two tent areas beyond the main gathering area are ideal for the kids to have a campout close to the house during your vacation.

The main level kitchen is enhanced with granite counter tops and custom Tennessee built cabinets. The majority of the main level has authentic hardwood flooring, 17 foot tall cathedral ceilings, a 50” LCD TV, two dining areas, a beautiful owners suite equipped with a king bed and a desk for catching up on work activities. The owner’s bath is top of the line with a Jacuzzi type tub and tile flooring. The 2nd bedroom on the main level has a king bed and adjoins a full bath via a private entrance. This 2nd bath is also open to the great room and is a common bath. The 3rd bedroom offers two full beds and a great view. The Main level deck extends the length/width of the home as do the other 2 levels of deck, and offers a sunning area with lounge chairs at one end and a table and chair area, with a large stainless steel grill, at the other.

The middle level has an open floor plan complete with a large family room, with a spectacular view, and a 50 inch TV, as well as a 2nd full kitchen, dining area, 3 bedrooms, full bath and a laundry room. The 4th bedroom is located on the lakeside and has a king bed and TV. The 5th bedroom offers a king bed. The 6th bedroom is set up ideally for the young family with a queen bed and a set of twin over twin bunks with a trundle pull out bed. There is plenty of room for a Pack N Play (as Happy Hour has two of them upon request.)

The lower walkout level, as mentioned above, is complete with a recreation/game room and two bedrooms. The large room has two full over full bunk bed sets, and the 8th bedroom has two twin over twin bunk sets.

Happy Hour has plenty of parking and, can accommodate up to 8 cars outside of the home, and many more in the development's auxiliary parking area. Happy Hour is conveniently located in the Lakeside Estates gated community just a few miles from I-75 and minutes from the city of La Follette. From the lake, you couldn't ask for a better location. The very popular Deerfield Resort is located just south of Lakeside Estates and around the corner from Sugar Hollow Marina, Shanghai Marina, and Springs Resort. You can enjoy these full service marinas and restaurants within a few minutes boat ride, yet be very secluded at your vacation home.

**Please note that between mid November and the first of March the water levels at Norris Lake are normally down. This can limit access to the dock depending on the water level.

We go to Norris a few times a year and these owners were great to work with. Great communication on the property and answered questions immediately. Location and house were great - we have 25 folks and didn’t feel cramped at all. Highly recommend this spot

No wasted miracles!!

The house had plenty of space to spread out and relax. The no wake zone by our dock was awesome for swimming and kayaking for us and the kids. The beds were very comfortable. The views were amazing and the memories priceless. A miracle brought us all together initially, grace and love for each other has formed lasting bonds.

Extremely relaxing while providing some exercise.

The tiki bar and dock was a great place to relax morning, noon and late night. The water was just perfect. We only left to play golf, hike the Cumberland Gap and cruise the lake. The house was comfortable and worked well for our group.

A great vacation home!

I cannot express in words how much fun our families (6 families ages 5-70) had at this home. The cove is great for swimming and floating. Such relaxation! We boated and rode a jet ski all week. Some went golfing nearby, but we mostly left only to go to the grocery store or to golf. We enjoyed just spending time with each other, playing games, watching movies, cooking, etc. One of the best vacations I have ever had and the lake is so beautiful and clean. I highly recommend.

Absolutely perfect

Happy hour embodies its name. From the moment we checked in we had a great time! The two kitchens were nicely stocked and were both needed with our 16 person group. The bedrooms and living room were nicely decorated and homey. This cabin has everything you need. The owners were very quick to respond and helpful when needed. Not a complaint but just a fact, there are a lot of stairs. And I mean a lot. But I wouldn’t change anything and we had a great trip.

Great golf weekend!!

This property was fantastic for our annual spring golf trip. The only thing nicer than the house was dealing with the owners. They immediately answered any question I had and were more than accommodating to us!! We had 16 bigger than average guys and all slept great, played golf all weekend at one of the local courses, watched NCAA basketball, and never felt crowded. The house definitely made you feel relaxed and takes you away from the hustle of everyday life. I would 110% recommend this property, especially with the no hassle use of the property and friendliness of the owners. It would be a great place for a large family getaway

Perfect family vacation!

Just returned home from a perfect family vacation! The accommodations at Happy Hour far exceeded our expectations! The house was beautiful - clean, comfortable and well appointed to meet the needs of 13 adults and 9 children ages 9- 1 year of age. The location was perfect - the quietness of the cove was great for the children to swim and fish and for the adults to enjoy a drink or two each evening at the tiki bar under the stars. We will be back - all agreed about wanting this to become our regular family vacation! Our 7 year old grandson cried for fifteen minutes on the way home wanting to go back! Many thanks - have already posted this to others as a great place to visit!

Family Reunion

My husband's family (19 adults and 4 toddlers) enjoyed a fantastic time at Happy Hour. Every day was spent in the surprisingly warm lake off the dock. Beautiful clear, clean water! Several of us enjoyed the walking trail. We rented a large pontoon boat for a couple of days and enjoyed seeing the rest of Noris Lake. Happy Hour is located in a very quiet, private cove with a "no wake zone", so it was very safe for swimming. The house itself was well equipped. Andrew was a pleasure to work with. I would definitely enjoy staying there again.

Family Reunion

My 4 siblings, their spouses and children and my parents stayed at the Happy Hour House for a much needed family reunion. There were 26 of us with 14 being children ages 5-16. Not once did we hear "I'm bored". The water was perfect off the dock so the children swam, fished and played for hours while the adults enjoyed lounging on the dock and floating on rafts. We rented a pontoon boat which was a blast to use for tubing and taking those to the bridge to jump off! At night we used the fire pit and made s'mores, played games and sang songs. We had a wonderful time and had plenty of space with the 3 levels of living. The children loved having separate bedrooms for boys and girls! We all love to cook and each family had one night assigned to cook a dinner. The two kitchens were fully stocked so we did not have any issues with needing extra pots or pans. I an ready to book this house again!

About the host

Hosted by Dawn

Host profile image
Our family lives on a lake in Ohio and have enjoyed waterfront living for many years. Due to our experience with lake living for several years we custom built Happy Hour to reflect the needs of our family and others like it when we vacation at Norris. Over the past few years we have made many improvements to complete our wish list.

Why they chose this property

As a real estate professional, I specialize in waterfront homes for sale & rent. With the knowledge and experience of 20 years of being involved in waterfront homes we designed and built Happy Hour with all the wish list items a renter would want.

What makes this property unique

Most of the reservations we have at Happy Hour are repeat visitors year after year. We hear over and over how they love the floor plan and how it accommodates their large groups. They love the 2 full kitchens, the oversized fire pit and oversized covered dock. The waterslide is always a favorite for the children and the adults love the Tiki bar. The home/dock is located on a safe and peaceful area on the lake. The little ones can swim right off the dock with very few waves and little boat traffic to worry about. Being just a minute from Norris Lake's most popular water hang out spot, 'the jumping bridge', is always a crowd favorite. Sugar Hollow Dock is just right around the corner. It is a big attraction as it has some of the best food on the lake and the night life is second to none with the oversized outdoor bar and famous Karaoke night and theme weekends.
