About this property

Norris Lake Cabin with Double Decker Dock on Private Cove

Feel like you are in a 'tree house'...yet have a private double deck dock in a private cove! Whether you are a house-boater, skier, fisherman, sightseer, sunbather, or water sports lover, Norris Lake has it all. Norris Lake was created by the construction of the Norris Dam in 1936. This hydroelectric project was the Tennessee Valley Authority’s first. The lake’s beautiful blue-green waters span more than 800 miles of shoreline covering 34,000 acres. Norris’ boundaries extend up the Clinch and Powell rivers which feed Norris with clear, pristine waters. It’s an ideal environment for sportsmen and vacationers alike.

STAIRS ALERT: Please be aware that there are 250 +/- steps from the cabin to the dock (and back up again!!). Well worth the effort to get there and back, but we like to be sure our customers know this before committing to the rental.

This home is situated in a beautiful cove on Lake Norris. It has 2 bedrooms and the basement is a bunk area/game room. The upstairs has a king size bed in one of the rooms and the other room has a queen size bed, one full bathroom with shower/and tub , separate private hot tub house, porch, stairs to the dock, basement area with couches and three twin beds, with an extra twin mattress under one of the beds. There is high speed internet and Roku TV's in both upstairs bedrooms, in the living room area, and in the basement bunk room. Washer and Dryer are downstairs.

Enjoy the beautiful wildlife, private setting, swimming, boat slip, jet ski slip, lots of lounge chairs, fishing.... all you need to relax and 'get away' from it all!

Closest marinas by car are Whitman Hollow Marina and Indian River Marina, and by boat--Whitman Hollow and Sequoyah Marina is closest. Boat rentals are available at all three of these marinas.

Weekend trip

Loved the property and all the amenities. The dock is great with the grill and kayak. The property is in a private cove, which was perfect for swimming. Our family rented a boat and had a blast. We enjoyed the hot tub and large deck. Chuck was amazing with communicating and helping with any issues. The worst part was the steps down to the dock.

The 250 stairs are no joke. Pack lightly for going down for the day. The dock is amazing. Bring Saran Wrap, aluminum foil, and containers for leftovers. They have everything else. We did have some tick issues so bring spray for that. Overall, a seriously amazing and peaceful property.

authentic lake experience!

This is the cutest little cabin in the most gorgeous, private cove. Fully equipped with everything we needed, from snacks to a slip for our boat. The kiddos absolutely loved jumping from the top of the double decker dock and having a huge, private area to swim safely. Great location for our favorite jumping rock and several marinas with nice restaurants. Host had excellent communication and went above and beyond for our stay! We would absolutely stay here again. Two cautionary details…the 254 steps are a doozy, especially after a long day in the sun and on the water. Also, there is a very active hornets next on the lowest hanging limb above the deck, right over where the kids run and jump. With having a EpiPen kid allergic to bee stings, this made for no relaxation on my part while he was up there.

Beautiful little cove

Had an absolute blast staying here with my family. The stairs to the dock can get taxing but totally worth it. I would recommend renting a boat (we did) it was so much fun going tubbing.

Fun private lakeside retreat, stairs no joke

Loved the private dock on a private cove on a beautiful lake. The 259 stairs are no joke, but well worth the climb for the great time on the water.

Loved the property, house, and area. Didn’t have much luck fishing and it rained a lot(Hurricane Helene), but we still had a great time. The owner, Mr French, was wonderful to work with and very accommodating!

Nice, private, and just what we needed

My spouse and 3 kids and 3 dogs stayed here for a week. It was exactly what we were looking for. The house is situated on dead end road in a nice little neighborhood. Plenty of privacy if that's what you're looking for. The driveway is tight, but if I can back out of there anyone can. Anything you could need is already in the kitchen. In my history of staying places I've never been provided with as much as these hosts have provided. Kitchen and bathroom. Heck there was even some laundry soap. The house overall is comfortable and rustic, with plenty of accommodations. There were some broken sliding doors, and I could not get the very large and nice ceiling fan to work in the living room, but these things were insignificant for us. The dock is unreal, providing plenty of seating and even a small paddle boat. The view is serene and we love beautiful Norris Lake's teal water that is clean and clear. The dock is on a pretty private cove, with boat traffic a good ways away. As for the stairs...there is a bunch and it is steep and they can be slippery if it's rained. We managed each time but there is a balance. You want to pack for the day so you don't have to take multiple trips, but also understand you have to carry that all back up. Overall we liked our stay and the hosts helped us look for our daughters lost phone. They seem like very nice people.

Dock was amazing

We really enjoyed our stay. The house had everything we needed, but we spent most of our time down at the lake. The dock was fantastic and we had a blast jumping off the top. The hot tub was huge and was great for winding down at the end of the day. Cove was beautiful and quiet, even on a holiday weekend. We were very happy with our stay.

Spring Trip

Would be a great place to summer vacation. The weather could have been better for our March stay but we made the best out of it. Would have loved to lounge out on the dock all day, just not in high 30 to low 40 deg temps. Would love to plan a summer trip here.

Best Cove!

We had a great time at the cabin. Had everything we needed. The dock was awesome and it is on the best cove I’ve seen at Norris. There are a lot steps but we managed just fine, even with our 2 pups they did great. We knew exactly what to expect. Host was extremely nice and accommodating.

This property was so peaceful and relaxing. Definitely a lot of privacy since there are no close neighbors. The dock was amazing and we spent a lot of time there. The hot tub was huge and fit all 5 of us just fine. Chuck was very nice and helpful and responded extremely fast whenever I had a question. Check in and out was very easy and simple. I will definitely be adding this to my list of vacation homes to return to.

Excellent Location

The property was great for having a boat and the house had everything we needed. Just as it states those stairs are no joke but we planned accordingly and had big coolers of ice at the dock and brought what we needed for the day. The dock was great and I loved that it was in a cove pretty much by itself. Great host.
