About this property

She's a Brick House - Norris Lake & the Mountains

She's A Brick House is a wonderful place for family fun.. Few locations on Norris Lake are in as close proximity to both the lake, the mountains, and the LaFollette/Jacksboro retail, restaurant, medical, and business district as we are. Across the street from Indian River Marina, we are 2 miles from town. This is a quiet and very comfortable house nestled up next to Koi ponds, 100 yards from IRM and the lake, and 20 minutes to fantastic ATV trails.

If you need a great place to stay in this area; this is it. Read our reviews.
Three queen bedrooms, two bathrooms, large living room with day bed, fully supplied kitchen (blender, microwave, gas stove), gas grill, gas fireplace for cool weather use, laundry room, large front porch and large back porch with tables and chairs, beautiful Koi fish ponds and viewing decks (no swimming allowed), four televisions with cable (one in the living room and one in each bedroom), wireless internet, four car parking with trailer parking available as needed, large front yard looking down to Norris Lake, two miles from the Lafollette/Jacksboro business/retail district, and seven miles from Interstate 75. The property address is 117 Boshears Trail, but GPS maps sometimes show it as 117 Shoshone Trail. They are one and the same. It's easy to find. Gray brick with black shutters. Circular blacktop driveway up to the house.

Coming for the Lake
We are a three-minute walk to Indian River Marina where a new store and restaurant have just opened in 2020. Live entertainment through the summer season, great food and beverages, and a nice, friendly, atmosphere. Pontoon boat rental available, or for boat owners who can reserve a boat slip or tie up a spot on the walkway as available. Norris Lake has 850 miles of shoreline and 25 marinas to visit. Our side of the lake is much more peaceful than most other parts. We are located within a few miles from most everything happening in rural Campbell County.

Coming for the Mountains
The middle of nowhere is not far from us. Remote mountain areas and trails abound nearby for four-wheeling, seasonal hunting, rock climbing, mountain climbing, and riding/hiking trails. The Cumberland Mountains, Ride Royal Blue, Big South Fork, and the Chuck Swan, Cove Lake, and Sundquist Wildlife Management Areas are easily accessed from our place.

Better than a hotel
For those just visiting the area to look at property, attend a family reunion, see relatives for the holidays, conduct business, see the fall colors, or for whatever reason you come to the LaFollette/Jacksboro/Norris Lake area our accommodations should meet your needs.

We have 3 - one bedroom one bath units that we rent, so if this one isn't available or you have a large party, ask about the others.

BEWARE OF MOLD IN HOME

When I arrived at the home to check in, the host still had not sent me a door codes for access. I was able to get in touch with him after waiting outside for 25 minutes. While unloading our vehicle, my children were startled by a person who came our of a van (also parked in the driveway) asking what we were doing there. I explained why we were there and she told me I should park on the other side of the house because she pays the host to rent the driveway space and use the water and electric. I honestly have never rented a home through any booking site and had this kind of encounter. Nevertheless, we proceeded to unpack our things and settle in. The home itself was nice and as described, but in a very dirty condition. There was a broken chair in the kitchen, stains on the sheets and comforters in two bedrooms, missing remote for tv and the most disturbing thing was the black mold stains on the ceiling in the master bedroom from what seemed to be some sort of leek from the attic. I did contact the host that evening letting him know about the condition. He came by the following with a tv remote, new set of sheets, removed the broken chair and painted the ceiling to cover up the mold. When he contacted me later that day to let me know everything was taken care of, he was cautious about the mold and said he did not know what it was but that he was able to clean it off. A total lie, I did take before and after pictures of the areas and all items listed. I would not stay here again

Perfect Location Anytime of Year

Beautiful grounds make any stay relaxing. Many comfortable outdoor seating options gave us great places to gather to make memories. We visited a local festival and had a stress free drive to UTK for a game. The kitchen has everything you need and more. Truly a cooks kitchen! Beds are comfortable and bathrooms well updated. Hosts are friendly and make the check in process seamless. We will be back!

Great, clean rental

She's a brick house was a great rental for our family! Super clean, updated and tastefully decorated without being overdone. I love that they provide work towels for messes in order to keep the nice linens stain-free. Owners were super accommodating, boat rental is a great add-on and even though there are multiple rentals on the same property, we never felt like we were in a fish bowl. We would highly recommend and plan to come back!

Father’s Day weekend

Had a great time. The Brick House was very nicely decorated and a great place to unwind and relax in the back yard around all the koi ponds. The boat was also a good idea to rent. We enjoyed the lake also. Very centrally located and would highly recommend to anyone looking to get away for a weekend or week trip to the lake. We are thinking of going again next year. Thanks again, we really liked y’all’s place!!

Jacksboro Memories

We came to Jacksboro to see where my late grandmother was born and grew up. My mother, daughters, and I enjoyed your home! Fred and Debbi were both very friendly and welcoming. The grounds were peaceful, both front and back porches were lovely. I enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the kids play in the yard. The kids enjoyed watching the fish in the ponds out back. We enjoyed walks down to the dock to look at the water. We were able to locate the hillside that my great grandfather owned back in the early 1900’s! We enjoyed driving down to Cove Lake, walking the trail and reading the children book they have posted on the walking trail! Definitely a memorable trip and the accommodations made it even better. The beds were very comfy, linens and towels were soft and cozy, the home was very clean and well organized for travelers. We made good use of the fireplace and the twinkle lights on the patio only added to the homey feel! Thank you for letting us use your home, if we’re ever in the area again we’ll be back!

The house was clean and spacious. The kitchen was a great size for cooking Thanksgiving meal. The hosts were very friendly and there was plenty of parking. Quiet neighborhood too. We were able to park two large trailers and another vehicle with room to spare. The property has other cabins that would be great for very large families looking to travel together and stay on the same property.
