Lakefront Escape on Norris Lake w/ Kayaks

Listing Description:
Beautiful home located in a quiet country setting on pristine Norris Lake in the Dodson Creek Cove! This property has a great floor plan, outdoor living and the perfect location on Norris Lake. Conveniently located 10 minutes to Maynardville, TN and only 30 minutes to downtown Knoxville. We are neighbors with Beach Island Marina & Bubba Brews! The home comes with a private dock & 1 boat is allowed. Our pontoon rental stays in the other slip! There is a gradual grade to get down to the water with a complete concrete walkway. No more than 3 cars allowed due to limited parking.

The Space:
-We have several pontoon rentals available upon request. You must have a valid boaters license or be born before 1989 to operate.We deliver them to the house as well!
Rates are as follows:
90 HP - $275 per day plus taxes & $50 insurance

-It is not allowed to leave your trailer at the property & is highly recommended to launch prior to going to the property. The road is short but is a single lane and is tight & peaks & valleys in spots which would make turning around with a trailer difficult. We however do provide several options. There’s an additional property we own 2 minutes away that it can be dropped at in the field beside the house or we have a gated warehouse less then 10 minutes away that it can be left at for the duration of your stay. Just please be sure to let us know which option you prefer as it gets closer. You can put in at Beach Island Marina (5 mins away)!

A Perfect Escape: Our Blissful Stay at the Lake House
We absolutely loved the lake house—it was majestic! This home exceeded our expectations in every way. It was impeccably clean, and everything was top-notch. As you drive up to the property, the massive lake unfolds before you—so beautiful and calm. After parking in front of the one-car garage, entering the house is a delightful experience. From the stunning granite countertops to the real canoe hanging over the kitchen island, every detail is amazing. The kitchen is spacious, with five bar stools, perfect for gathering. The bedding for the beds is also top-notch and incredibly comfortable. The jet tub in the master bathroom? Wowza! Plus, having three refrigerators—one on the bottom level and two in the kitchen—was awesome for storing all our snacks and drinks. We were pleasantly surprised to find fiber internet available—who knew we could enjoy such fast service at a lake house? This allowed us to squeeze in a bit of work during our vacation. Gunner, the host, was exceptional. He responded to every text promptly and was incredibly helpful with any questions we had. Overall, this was the best experience we've had, and we can’t wait to come back!

Wonderful property in quite area
We typically stay up near Deerfield and Flat Hollow area which is very congested. This is the first time we stayed on the south end of the lake. It is definitely less congested and has nice wide open spaces for water sports. We were so happy with the location. We didn’t mind the hour boat ride up to that area to visit our favorite marina Shanghai. The ride there was thru beautiful parts of the lake. The only caution for large groups considering this property is that it does sleep 12 but only has 2 private bedrooms. It had several pullout couches in common areas in addition to the wide open bunk room in the main area of the lower level. Ideal for two families with lots of younger kids who don’t mind being in open areas. The full sized pullouts are in the living room, sun room and in the main bedroom upstairs with one of the king beds. The two level porch was great to take in the views of the lake and hang out in the evenings. Hot tub was great too. The covered dock at this property was awesome. Fit our wake boat with tower up perfectly and the double decker was great for the kids to jump into the lake. Would definitely stay at this property again!

Lovely Norris Vacation Home
Beautiful lake property. Our family enjoyed the week we spent on Norris Lake. The home has three refrigerators and two sets of washers and dryers. With three levels, it was easy for family members to have their own space. The beds were comfortable and the home is well furnished with everything you need to enjoy your stay.

The house and the furnishings were beautiful!
The house itself and the furnishings were great. The driveway is very steep with limited parking, but since we were the only vehicle there it was not a problem. The master bath plug would not seal properly leaving water to drain out. We resolved this by buying a plug at the dollar store. The cleaning charge seemed high since we were instructed to strip the beds, gather all towels, start a load of towels, start the dishwasher and take out the trash. Overall it was a good experience.

Beyond perfect!
This house was absolutely perfect! The layout, the space, all the amenities, & THREE refrigerators! Perfect for 2 families who didn’t want to do even one grocery run. I unnecessarily brought a crock pot & blender but the house was so beautifully stocked, I left my items in the car. Getting to & from the dock many times a day was a breeze, even w kids & coolers & snacks & aaaall the stuff! Our host was super responsive, helpful, warm, & kind. 6 out of 5 starts!

Great house for relaxing vacation
House was great, beautiful views from the house. Upper deck with ceiling fans is a great place for a meal. The owner is not exaggerating when he says the drive is steep & doesn't recommend bringing your boat/trailer to the house, so pack accordingly. Great dock with paved walkway to keep the boat and a nice quiet cove to float in.

We took a girls trip and had the best time here! Very clean, amazing views, easy lake access, and plenty of room for everyone. We rented the pontoon for a day, it was just as perfect as the house. The driveway was a little steep but we didn’t have any problems getting in or out. I definitely would recommend this house to anyone looking for a nice getaway.

Quiet fall break
We had a small group (3 total) and wanted a property on water that was big enough we didn’t feel cramped as we planned to stay most of time at the house. The property was beautiful and clean. The owner always answered my calls or messages and was very helpful. There isn’t a ton to do in the town near by but we did enjoy going to the National Park to hike and drove to another stage park near by and antiqued in Knoxville. The hot tub was perfect and it would be a fun place to rent in the summer when you could enjoy the water more. We have no complaints!
