Always a great place to stay

A solid choice for us when staying at Norris. The home has literally everything you need and the owners communicate very well with us! The kitchen is fully stocked and the cleanliness of this home is hard to beat! This is our second year staying here.

Best boating vacation ever!!!!!!

Beautiful place, the dock was perfect, plenty of room for boats and swimming. We had a great time taking day trips on the boat exploring and just as much fun hanging out around the house. The host was truly great. The property is a perfect location, close enough to town and far enough away at the same time. This was truly one of the best vacations we have ever had.

Great location for boating trip

We had the best time during our stay. The house had everything we needed and more. The view was amazing. We brought 3 boats, and they all tied up easily in the dock. The location on the lake was perfect for exploring the many marinas, and we found good places for water sports. The day we didn't take the boats out, we enjoyed a day on the dock with the kayaks and floating mat that were provided. The commercial ice maker meant we always had plenty of ice to pack the coolers for the boats, and didn't have to stop somewhere to buy it. Also, the owners were very responsive, and it gave us peace of mind that they were right next door if needed. We're definitely planning a repeat visit.

Baseball mom getaway

The baseball moms needed a getaway from the hustle and bustle! We had a blast just lounging in our 10 person float off the dock! Music, laughter and making friends with “Fred”, the sweet dog of the owner next door! Everything was well stocked and the kayaks were a nice added touch! We really enjoyed the lily pad too! Thank you Chris and Janine for the beautiful cabin and the memories!

Perfect Fall View

Such a lovely location. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and looking at the fall view. Kayaks were a delight. Nicely equipped kitchen. We especially liked the hot water kettle for heating water for tea. Make up your beds as soon as you get there. We were surprised we had to do that ourselves but understood that hosts can't predict which beds will be used. We had a great time and would go back.

Great House on Norris with an Awesome Owner

Chris's house on Norris has an awesome view of the lake from just about every room. The house was clean and well stocked with everything our group of 10 needed. Communication with Chris was top notch as we had several questions since we had never stayed on this end of Norris before. The dock and fire pit setup are great as well. If you are bringing your own boat, be sure to bring plenty of bumpers as the dock does get a decent amount of boat traffic waves during the busy times of the lake.

Great week at the lake!

We had a wonderful stay at the lake! The view can’t be beat! House was the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. Had everything from an abundance of laundry detergent to trash bags as well as a well appointed kitchen. The owner, Chris was very timely in responding to any and all questions. Even came over to say hello and make sure the house met our needs. No complaints!

Big Creek

House was as described and is stocked with everything you need. Huge bonus is the industrial sized ice machine on the lower deck - this is so necessary for coolers and a great asset to this house! The only downfall we experienced (and its NOT the owners fault) during our week long stay was ZERO cell phone service and minimal wifi - we are business owners and need to run our business from afar even while on vacation - we had huge difficulties doing this but it is just a downfall of this area of the lake.

Bring the family and enjoy!

When our previous plans changed we searched for a lake getaway where we could gather our all of our kids and relax. This was the perfect spot! Swam right off the dock since the water is beautiful and rented a pontoon boat from Sequoyah Marina. (Be prepared that this marina is a one hour drive!) Kitchen is very well supplied with a grill on the deck. Plenty of outdoor seating! Limited cell service and Wi-Fi was not a bad thing and we never turned on the TV. It is a drive to get back to town so plan accordingly and bring your supplies with you when you arrive then RELAX and ENJOY!

Talk about a room with a view!!!

Our stay at Blakey’s Bungalow started with being greeted by our neighbor, who also happens to be the owner, Chris! The house listing in VRBO is spot on but one thing that is hard to imagine from the listing is exactly how very nice this bungalow REALLY is. The steps to the lake are broken up with several landings, the fire pit area is beautiful and accommodated our family of 10 comfortably, the upper and lower decks were very nice! The view is so peaceful! The house itself is a cute bungalow that comfortably fit our family. We all felt this was the BEST Norris vaca we have experienced. Thank you to Chris for making sure everything was so nice!!

Great Location, Set Up & Amenities!

We loved this house! The owners were so nice - good people who truly cared about our experience! The house is super clean and well kept. There are lots of amenities that made our stay that much more comfortable (board games, blender, plenty of different types of glasses, serving bowls, pots/pans, utensils, etc., extra fridge/freezer on lower level, covered outdoor dining and nice grill right off kitchen). Spent most of our time on the dock - lounge and Adirondack chairs. Perfect location!!! Such beautiful views right out to a wide lake and undeveloped land (unlike other houses we noticed that are too far down the different coves all facing each other - this one is right at the beginning of the cove so you have the safety with less boat traffic, but the best views and skiing right off the dock) We all safely and comfortably (warm water!) swam right off the deep water dock (used our life jackets to help float around and brought a huge float to hang out on which was great to have! - bring something if you want to float a bit). We rented a boat and very quickly got to the jumping bridge (towed the kids on the tube all the way there), Shang Hai (pass on way to jumping bridge), Whitman Hollow (Froggies was a fun outdoor restaurant), Sequoia (where we rented our boat) and other marinas. Water is glass - great for all the skiing and wake boarding! Beautiful views! Once you get here you won’t want to leave so I suggest bringing all the food/drink you need. Only a 15-20 minute drive out to the stores, but you will not want to leave because it is so relaxing and beautiful here! Just want to sink into the lake life! We did get out one day bc only 1.5 hours away from great white water rafting and zip lining! Fire pit was awesome and we sooooo did NOT miss having a hot tub - stayed on the dock soaking in the views (we initially limited our search to houses with hot tubs, but not needed for this trip - would not have ended up using it like we do after winter skiing). Hope to be back on Norris Lake and staying in this house again!

Girls vacation 2022

We loved the property and the view. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddling on the lake. The house was very comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen. We are an older group of women in our sixties and seventies, so we had a little trouble with access to the house down the concrete steps and access to the dock where the lowest set of steps does not have rails. Overall a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Janine Owen

Grew up in Kentucky but have been here in Knoxville since 1996. Bought property on Norris in 2000 then built in 2005. We were lucky enough to buy this great rental house next door in 2007. We have met so many great people and really enjoy our multiple repeat guests.

Why they chose this property

We hope you enjoy the house and the lake. We wanted to be able to share all the good times we have had at the lake with everyone we can

What makes this property unique

A view that can't be beat. The house is very close to and it's an easy walk down to the water. The fire pit area is incredible!! Deep year-round water great for swimming. Firepit right at the water's edge. Plenty of parking.
