About this property

Private Cabin - Lakefront, Dock, Fishing, Swim, near ATV trails, VIEWS

**New Tram available for summer 2025* see below for more details.

Discover Norris Lake At Our Peaceful Log Cabin Retreat! Our secluded, spacious 2,200 sq/ft., lakefront home offers exceptional mountain and lake views with all the modern amenities. Whether it's a memorable family vacation, a trip to the local ATV parks, a romantic get-away or that long-awaited fishing trip, our home is the perfect setting. Our home sleeps 14 guests comfortably.

Escape to the Foothills of Tennessee and Enjoy Year Round Water. Have your morning coffee and watch the sunrise while relaxing on our deck, fish off our private dock or rent a boat from the nearby marina and enjoy a day of fun on the water. We also have plenty of space to park multiple trailers, so be sure to bring down your ATVs and boats!

The property currently has an incline to the lake, and while this is very common at Norris Lake, it may not be for everyone. The steps are suitable for our family members ages 4 - 70. However, a new tram has been installed and will be available to renters in summer of 2025, which will eliminate the need to use the steps. For those who are not familiar with a tram, its like an elevator on the lake, and will allow groups up to 6 people + bags/coolers to travel to and from the dock. The steps will remain available but will not be maintained.

The thermostat stopped working the late night during our last night, so it was a little be cold giving the cold weather. We contacted the owner in the morning and got a very qucik response. Trisha also tried everything to solve the issue. happy with the quick response. definitely recommned it.

Great stay

Everything was fine, 2 suggestions: Provide instructions on how to use fireplace, and insure outdoor activities are available ( ie: even though weather changing, we would liked to have used kayaks, which were available, but no paddles) Thanks!

Fantastic!

We booked a trip down from Kentucky to do some riding on TWRA & Windrock. The parking was sufficient for 2 trailers with plenty of parking left. As soon as you pull up you see the cabin and lake. The outside was well maintained. Inside the cabin had everything you could need. Our kids enjoyed the boards games and card games that were there as well as the downstairs entertainment area. The walk down to the lake was a long one but it’s so peaceful and pretty you kind of forget about. Overall we had a blast and would definitely book again.

family fun

The house was great. Plenty of space for everyone in the living/kitchen area. The kitchen had everything we needed plus. The beds were super comfortable and the 3 floors gave everyone their own space. The kids loved the downstairs area. Loved the decks!. The only drawback was the steps to the lake which was not practical for some. Overall the place was very clean and as nice as it looked in pictures. We would definitely stay there again if the tram is installed.

Accurate listing - good for trails

The house is great. The kitchen is very well stocked. We were nicely surprised by this; they had every gadget we could need. The kitchen sink wouldn’t drain on like day 2 and they sent someone right out. There was a luggage rack in one bedroom which was nice, but it’d be great if there were multiple racks in each room or closet. Two of the mattresses and several pillows are stained terribly and need to be changed out asap. The loft bunkbeds aren’t the sturdiest; they sway & squeak if someone rolls over. The steps going down to the lake are sketchy and some are broken but it didn’t affect our winter stay. We stayed there to go ride side-by-side (atv/utv) at the trails. We were about 10-15 minutes from the south end of the trails and 45 minutes to the north end of the trails (Tackett Creek). We were about 20 minutes from Royal Blue trails. Plenty of parking for SUVs and trailers. The checkout instructions were a lot IMO: like stripping down all beds. The roads all around are typical mountain roads. Walmart grocery delivered several times without any problems. Neighbors were nice. Overall we had a great trip and would stay here again if they get new mattresses & pillows.

Would stay again

Nice layout of cabin. With leaves on plenty of privacy. Everything we needed was supplied. Plenty of hot water for showers, a must when returning from a day of trail riding. 20minute plus ride to trail system. Plenty of room for parking. Property manager was friendly and easy to communicate with.

Beautiful Lake House

Overall, this lake house was exactly as described and we had a great time. A couple things the host could do to improve the stay would be to provide a couple basics in the cabin. Things like laundry supplies, hand soap, extra paper towels etc. Beach towels would also be nice; we had to go buy some. Also just as an fyi, there are 151 stairs down to the dock; this would be a difficult trek if you’re not in decent shape. Good news is you get a workout every day you’re on vacation without a gym.

Great week!

We had a great week on Norris lake. The house was perfect for our group. They had all the baby gear which made packing easier. The steps down to the lake are a bit challenging (watch out for older/less mobile people) but we had a great time boating and hanging out on the dock. Thanks for a great stay!

Plenty of room - something for everyone

Once inside - we had plenty of beds, linens, dishes, and spaces to hang out. Kitchen had great cookware and enough coffee cups, spoons… extra pillows and throw blankets in abundance. Loved the gas grill and outdoor TV on the porch. All the things to make the stay comfy. Stairs to lake need repair - neighborhood is not what you would expect. BUT it turned out fine. The lake below is amazing - kayak were awesome - and our 7 year old pulled fish after fish from the water / right off the dock. So - I would consider the overall experience to be a diamond in the rough.

Wonderful property!

We stayed here to ride ATV trails. The location is a little far for that but we made it work. The property is beautiful and was the perfect size for our large group. The kids has a blast playing outside. There is plenty of seating for meals or hanging out. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. The kids loved the wii in the basement living area. The property is well upkept. There is endless hot water!! Overall, we loved it and would be happy to stay again even though it was a little further from the trails than we thought.

Great Headquarters for Husband's Birthday

This was a great place! We had several adult couples, and everyone had plenty of room. The bunkbeds are queen size beds even on top. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the commercial ice maker was such an amazing plus! The only drawback is that the reviews are right: the stairs are killer. We are in fairly good shape, and they were a workout. Definitely wait until you get down the stairs before icing down the cooler. Otherwise, we had an absolutely wonderful time.

The beauty & the beast

Beautiful cabin , we enjoyed our stay . The cabin look with the modern amenities . Kitchen well stocked with everything you need . The black stone grill was a nice surprise as well as the outside ice machine . The steps ( all 150 ) down to the dock was a beast to say the least . With several over 40 with bad knees we found this to be an issue . So just heads up unless your 20 with 2 good knees this isn’t your cabin . She is a beauty & a beast .

Great house!!

This house is beautiful and has a great little view of the lake! The owners were great to work with and responded quickly to questions I had. The check in and out process was easy. The kids loved the game room downstairs and the dock with with slide! The only thing that was difficult was the stairs down and back up to the lake. They are VERY steep and very long. It is very difficult with a lot of kids and if you're tying to carry a lot of stuff down there, so beware! You definitely want to plan one trip down those stairs, so don't forget anything lol! Overall it was a very nice stay!

Family Fun

My family stayed here for a week. The property is exactly as described and very clean. The cabin is beautiful, as is the lake. The kitchen has everything you need and the large beds (even the bunk beds) are great! The extras are amazing including the ice machine, surround sound system, kayaks, paddle board, etc. We rented a boat for the week at Twin Cove which is close by. We had so much fun. One caution …. The stairs are intense. I believe there are about 150 and it’s a steep climb. If you have someone that has trouble with stairs, this is not the property for you.

Boys Fishing Trip

My brother and three high school buddies stayed here in May of 2022 for our annual fishing trip. It was our first time to Norris Lake and we really had a great time. Our location on the water was excellent and the house was perfect. It was just the right size and was well equipped for our crew. Everyone enjoyed the comfortable beds, relaxing porch and the nice grill and blackstone which helped make some hearty meals for the guys. Trish and Gregg were responsive and very helpful answering our questions. We caught a lot of fish during the day and enjoyed hanging out in the evenings. Overall great experience.

About the host

Hosted by Trisha & Greg

Host profile image
We have been vacationing with our friends and family to various lakes our entire lives. While the lakes in Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky, all offer something unique, nothing captured our attention like the first time visiting Norris Lake. During our first trip to Norris Lake, with a group of our friends, we immediately fell in love with the clean water and mountain views.

By the end of the trip, we knew this was the place we wanted to call our second home. In the coming months, we worked hard to make that dream a reality. We truly appreciate the journey, the friendship, and the memories to come.

We are excited to share our home with you, and provide a place for you and your loved ones to make your own memories. We hope to hear from you, and thank you for stopping in!

Why they chose this property

We are just minutes off of I-75, but our property sits on an acre of land, with a beautiful view of Norris Lake. Plenty of space to feel secluded, yet close to everything you need.
