Located on the shoreline of prestigious Lakeside Estates, this luxury cabin has 4 decks overlooking your private dock. The dock has a large swim platform w/ ladder. Two covered slips measure 10’ x 22’ and room for 2 more boats on the outside. This dock does not provide electricity. No boat? No worries! Simply call NorrisLakeWaterSports (ask for ‘10% Bertke discount’) or OasisNorrisLake. Both deliver right to your dock. Nearby Sugar Hollow marina or Shanghai Resort offer daily/weekly boat rentals. Due to liability reasons, we cannot provide flotation devices.

Enter the cabin main level to see oak floors, knotty pine walls & ceiling. The great room provides plenty of space to gather with friends and family. The equipped deck has a propane grill overlooking the lake (free propane).

The fully equipped luxury kitchen is open to the large dining room with table. The loaded kitchen features granite, dish washer, coffee maker, blender, toaster, serving trays, pots/pans, dishes, cutlery service for 20 people.

*The main level also has a master suite with private bathroom.

Lower Level has a recreation room providing pool table, huge TV, spare refrigerator, and extra games. The utility room contains a convenient washer & dryer. The lower level deck with bistro table and lounge chairs, makes a fantastic reading room. The hot tub deck is ideal to end the long days. NOTE: the water is changed prior to your arrival. The Sun Deck is built right on the shoreline providing an ideal location to watch over the swimmers.

This cabin is located right around the corner from the famous "Jumping Bridge" where all the boaters love to simply hang out, swim in the clean water, and get the nerve to take a plunge off the bridge.

Comcast secure WiFi up to 200Mbps. 5 TV equipped with Xfinity.

NOTES: ***** You must be minimum 28 years of age to rent this cabin*****

This neighborhood has a small, free, community pool with kiddie pool 1/3 mile from the cabin up a very steep street. It is clean but nothing fancy. There are no lifeguards or concessions. You don't need a pass. Free parking is available.

Our convenient boat ramp is located inside our neighborhood 1/3 mile from the home. There is parking for approximately 5 vehicles directly in front of the home. Trailers and extra vehicles are parked in the designated trailer parking area inside our neighborhood.

Blast

Overall everything about the property was great. If you bring a boat the trailer parking/launch is a bit cumbersome, study the aerial views but keep in mind you’re on a mountain! Can’t wait to get back!

Good property, needs some improvements

Overall our family enjoyed our stay. Upon arriving we had to do some cleaning as it seemed the cleaners forgot to sweep/vacuum. The house itself was great for our family of 13. The only major complaint we had is the lack of lighting. As many steps as there is to the dock there is zero lighting on the steps. Also think it’s time to update a bed/mattress in one of the rooms as it was very uncomfortable and rolled into the center.

Fall Stay

Beautiful setting and very quiet around the lake. The dock was a plus, as you can rent a boat and have it delivered. Overall the house is nice and we enjoyed our relaxing stay. There were a few MINOR maintenance issues during our stay, but nothing serious that caused any major inconveniences to the extent we felt a need to contact the owner. Upon on our arrival at least 4-6 overhead lights to the basement stairs and in several basement rooms were burned out. There were also dead bugs in many of the overhead light fixtures. The bulbs could have just burned out recently but the dead bugs in the light globes were clearly visible and had been there a while. One globe fixture above the tv area contained around 50 dried out ladybugs ( I was just glad they weren't something else, but I had never seen that many lady bugs and have no idea how they got inside the fixture). We arrived as it was getting dark and without the lights it was very hard to see in the basement and one of our group was staying in the lower bedroom so we needed lights down there. We just bought some light bulbs at the store up the street and I cleaned out the bugs from the fixtures and replaced bulbs. The owners had a step stool, so it only took a few minutes for us to correct. Dishwasher needs maintenance, as it does not seem to clean the dishes very well, even when the dishes were thoroughly pre rinsed they came out with bits of food stuck on them.

The Perfect Family Spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Blue Water Lodge! The floor plan of house accommodated all of our family’s needs! We enjoyed cooking all meals in the well equipped kitchen. The hot tub, billiards table, and dock provide countless hours of entertainment! Be prepared to work your legs climbing the steps back and forth from house to dock! We look forward to coming back!

Enjoyed our time on the lake!

This is our 2nd time renting this property. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out. Would enjoy the decks more if there was a view of the lake, trees obstructed the view and make a mess if the lower deck. One other suggestion would be an ice maker or bigger fridge/freezer in basement that can make ice. Overall enjoyed our stay.

It was a great get-away with covid19 safety in mind

It was so nice to get away from months of seclusion at home yet relatively safe from the virus. The place was clean & quiet and we made our meals here. The only drawback was the number of steps down to the lake (93 steps from dock to main level) so we weren't running back & forth much but it was manageable). Make certain you rent any boats well in advance as many others are seeking solace from the virus here also. It was so nice to be away for a while in a beautiful environment.

Getaway

This was a wonderful place for my whole extended family (3 generations) to getaway. Great kitchen, lots of fun swimming and boating. The many steps down to the lake and 4 floors of the house may be a deterrent to elderly guests or those with hip or knee issues. Luckily that did not apply to us and we found it great exercise. The Food Lion was only 5 miles away and there was a Dollar store and gas station in front of it that covered all our needs. We would love to come again.

Relaxing Vacation

Very nice house that accommodated our family of 12 comfortably. The location was perfect. As we went around the lake, our location was our favorite. WiFi was very sketchy, but I can only blame that on the mountains, I think. Not that we needed to use WiFi much anyway. We were too busy enjoying the great outdoors. Thanks for a great stay!

Spring Break

We could not have had a better experience! Being the first tenants of the season, we had an issue with the gas grill. I contacted the owner and within a few hours a brand new grill showed up ready to go. The house was clean with plenty of room for the 11 of us and the location was perfect!

Great place! Stay multiple days to make all of the extra fees worth it!

It was a very nice property to stay at! Pool/ping pong table was a hit, and the jacuzzi was clean and nice! Not many supplies, so bring toilet paper, trash bags, and soap! Plan on staying multiple days to get the most out of all the fees (site, cleaning, insurance). Since we were only able to stay 2 nights, it ended up being $800 a night!

Excellent

Other than the various stages of the weather, we arrived and it was beautiful and 80 degrees, stayed through 35 degree weather and snow, but the cabin was in beautiful shape....all amenities listed were available. All family members enjoyed themselves. My son, who is soon to be leaving for the Marines, had a great family trip. It was everything we were expecting and more. We hope to return when we can fish more. Although the weather wasn’t great they was still fish to be caught. I think in all, about 10 fish was caught. Any issues we had, John was ready to accommodate. A very UPSCALE cabin. Thanks John for sharing your cabin with us!

Wonderful first time experience!!

What an amazing experience to say the least for our first time traveling somewhere from Texas to celebrate a holiday. My family absolutely loved the house, the area, the environment and especially the SiriusXM channels that had us doing karaoke all night! The house was clean and equipped with everything we needed for Thanksgiving weekend. The upgraded appliances were also pretty sweet! The communication with the realtor could not have been any better. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to escape city life and just enjoy a beautiful, relaxing scenery for a few days.

The views of the lake and beautiful fall foliage were simply breathtaking! We definately will return next summer with our boat!!! Highly recommend for ANY season!

Why they chose this property

They say location means everything. The Blue Water Lodge is located in the woods, right on the waters edge. The fish come to swim around the dock. The famous jump'n bridge is right around the corner. There are numerous marinas nearby. There are two golf courses nearby. What more could you ask for?

What makes this property unique

I'm an avid fly fisher, my wife loves to golf, and my daughters never tire from wakeboarding so my whole family stays happy when we visit Norris Lake.
