Lakefront home with private dock, hot tub & pool table

Ma Cook Lodge - Sharps Chapel

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This beautiful cabin on Norris Lake is located in Sharps Chapel in East Tennessee - a prime lakefront location near Beach Island Marina and Bubba Brew's on the main channel. This quiet, wooded area is far removed from the city lights and noise, so the entire family can relax, unwind, and enjoy nature.

One of the best features of this home is its private covered dock and sundeck, which provide you with year-round access to the lake. You can swim, fish, or cruise your boat within steps of your door - just head 50 feet down the scenic path and you’ll feel like you’re the only ones on the lake. After a day on the water, you can soak in the private hot tub that overlooks Norris Lake.

Inside, the open floor plan is great for entertaining and socializing. As you enter on the main level, you'll be greeted by a dining table and a kitchen with a large refrigerator/freezer, a double oven, a dishwasher, a variety of cookware and utensils, and additional seating at the island bar. Also on the main level are a primary bedroom suite and a half-bath/laundry room with a full-size washer/dryer.

But the great room is the main attraction. You'll fall in love with this beautiful space, offering a wood-burning stone fireplace and charming, rustic décor. Admire majestic views of Norris Lake as you walk from the great room onto the main deck. Sear steaks or the catch of the day on the gas grill and enjoy the beauty of the woods and the lake.

The open loft has a sleeping space, a full bathroom, and a desk if you must get some work done using the free WiFi. And don't worry about getting stuffy in the loft in the summertime - there's central heat and air, plus an additional window air conditioner.

The lower level is the entertainment hub of this home. Challenge your loved ones to a friendly pool tournament and watch your favorite shows on the flatscreen TV while you're waiting for your turn to play. Or, just lounge on the sofa and read a book. There are two bedrooms on this level as well.

THINGS TO KNOW
It's a 50-foot walk to access the private dock.
A queen-size air mattress is also available, with linens included.

Ma Cook is a home away from home

This place is big, clean and has nice deepwater lake access. The many decks and lower level with a pool table are very nice and the beds are very comfortable. A great base from which to explore Norris Lake. It’s close to Beach Island and Cedar Grove Marinas and Bubbas Brews for great food and music.

Perfect spot for a nice get away!

My family had a really nice time here. Our first time to the lake in many years. The walk down to the boat was easy and we really like this area of the lake. The house was very comfortable and well equipped for what we needed. Will definitely be back!

Good, very remote location with plenty of beds and places to hang out. Access to water is nice and you can swim in the cove. Hot tub is nice and functional. Bring groceries because everywhere you might need to go is a 30 minute drive at minimum.

Beautiful view!

Beautiful home with an even more beautiful view of the lake! It was great just sitting on the deck watching the boaters go by. Whether sitting in the hot tub or on the top deck with a cocktail. Amazing! The house was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The pool table was an added bonus. We had nightly competitions between our family members. Would definitely stay again!

Ma Cook Lodge

Nicely updated lakefront house. Ma Cook Lodge provided a peaceful retreat for our two families of four. When we arrived, the house was very clean and welcome items had been provided (hand soaps, dish soaps, mini shampoos/conditioners). We rented a boat from a nearby marina and the Ma Cook dock was in good condition to store the pontoon boat at night. There are two large back decks (lower and upper) with a large dinner table, lounging chairs, working grill and hot tub.

Exactly what we were looking for!

The property was perfect for a long weekend with my siblings. The house was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. Communication with the property manager was quick and easy when I ran into a problem with the WiFi. You cannot beat the view. Between the comfy living room, pool table, hot tub, fire ring, and fishing, there was something for everyone! We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Amazing

This is by far my favorite vacay yet. We will definitely be back. I definitely over packed. Not knowing what exactly I would need. But there's plenty of kitchen stuff. Dishes. Cookware. There were plenty of towels and beach towels. The view is amazing. The house is amazing. I do need to add that there no jetted tub. It has been updateupgraded to a beautiful walk-in shower. I just loved this place so much. beautiful wal Silverware.

Ma Cook property was great

The house was clean and great! No issues at all. The dock was just OK - boat fit fine but needs some work. You can't sit on the dock and enjoy the lake like at other locations. This is not a deal breaker for me. I would rent this house again for sure!

Peaceful Relaxing

This was the perfect get away for our family. Loved every moment spent in this beautiful, clean, peaceful Home. Fully stocked with everything we needed. Excellent views, loved the sunrise over the mountains the reflections shinning on the water with the different colors were calming. The pier was nice to fish off of, we all enjoyed fishing and took out some time grilling out on the balcony/patio. Very nice setup for outdoor enjoyment. Beds were comfortable, Plenty of privacy inside this home. Tons of family games if needed. Pool table was extra nice. Hot Tube was relaxing and private. Little ways to get into off the main road however worth it. Will be back. Thanks for sharing

Sisters visit Tennessee from Virginia

We (3) are retired for several years. Our nephew lives in Oakridge and thanks to VRBO/Vacasa we found the ideal lake home for a 3 day relaxing visit. I’m no stranger to VRBO, have used them for many years, many states. I’ve always been very pleased with few exceptions. The MaCook home was nearly perfect!! High on our list is comfort of beds and good sheets, all were excellent! The furnishings were all in great condition and comfortable. Lots of necessities were provided, toiletries, well stocked kitchen for cooking, firewood, laundry essentials, the list is endless! The three of us and our 2 guest from Tennessee had zero complaints!! There’s usually minor issues or taste differences, not in this case. Very well kept property, many updates and just simply beautiful and very enjoyable! I would recommend highly to anyone interested in the area. We mainly relaxed and enjoyed the scenery so we aren’t rating the swimming, boating, fishing etc. Loved it and will definitely check it out when we are planning to be in Tennessee.😊

Great location, older home.

Had some issues with a toilet, septic system and very dim lights and many lights out. But we have stayed here before and it’s an older home. Took longer than usual to get issues resolved so a bathroom and a bedroom were unusable from Sat through Monday. Vacasa was quick to respond via text.
