About this property

Cedar Cove' Huge Dual Kitchen w/Large Dining/Family, Billiards, Hot Tub, Dock

Located in the scenic, slow/no traffic, swimmers' cove of Cedar Creek on Norris Lake, 'Cedar Cove' cabin provides everything needed to bring family and friends together.

Walk in the ground level entrance to find a huge kitchen containing two oven/ranges, two large refrigerators, two dishwashers, two sinks, and a huge island overlooking the dining area and the fireplace equipped living room. Strategically placed TVs ensure no ballgame is missed. Two bedrooms on this street level ensure anyone having problems negotiating stairs can still join the fun.

**Prior to submitting questions, you must read entire note section below. **

The upper level provides four bedrooms and an additional TV equipped living room with vaulted ceiling. Relax, rain or shine on the covered deck overlooking the cove's swimming area.

The lower level provides three additional bedrooms and the huge recreation room with TV, billiards, shuffle board and twin 'Gamer TVs'. Exit the patio door to find a perfect, large, flat, ground level area to enjoy outdoor games. Enjoy your hot tub and camp fire overlooking the lake and your personal dock. The hot tub is emptied, cleaned, and refilled with fresh city water prior to your arrival.

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 life guards or concessions. You don't need a pass. Free parking is available. Around the corner from the home is the boat ramp. 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.

The impressive dock has a huge swim platform w/ ladder. A large covered slips measure 10’ x 24’ and room for 2 more boats on the outside along with a jet ski pad. 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. This new dock does not yet have electricity.

Secure & very fast internet via Comcast cable @ 150 Mbps and unlimited usage.

**Prior to submitting questions, you must read entire note section below. **

If you need to rent watercraft simply contact NorrisLakeWaterSports (ask for 10% Bertke discount) or OasisNorrisLake. Both places offer delivery services. Flat Hollow and Powell Valley marinas also rent watercraft

Due to liability reasons, we do not provide life jackets, watercraft, floating toys.... We do provide an enormous floating dock.

Great for our group!
Our family had a great time! If you are looking for a basic home for a large group in a great location for a reasonable price, this is your place. If you are looking for a perfectly decorated, high end luxury home, this is not your place. It was our first time at Norris Lake we and fell in love with the beauty and fun. It did rain on and off during our stay but we still had plenty of time to boat and swim. The dock and slide were a big hit with the kids and adults. The cove was like the end of a cul-de-sac with room for the kids to swim and play in the water. Pros: Lots of rooms, great for large groups, beautiful cove location with no fast boats or traffic, nice new dock with slide, fire pit, hot tub, double kitchen, and plenty of parking. Game room tucked away in the basement for kid to play away from the adults. Cons: You need to bring ALL soaps and paper products and you need to make your own beds upon arrival. This is clearly stated in the description and I’m sure this is to keep costs down, just be prepared. The bed linens and mattresses are a bit worn out, so if you are picky about that, bring your own sheets. The house and furniture could use some cosmetic maintenance, but everything functioned well. (We did need to reattach the dryer vent, but it worked fine after). Overall, I would stay again. We looked at dozens of homes in the area and for the price, this house is a great value.

Family week at the cove
The house was big enough for 9 families without us being on top of each other. The location was great and we had a wonderful time. I would recommend this home for other large groups. The downside is the furnishings are a bit worn and some of the mattresses were uncomfortable.

We had a great time
We all enjoyed the lake, the house does need a lot of work. You have to make your own bed, (not an issue) but our sheets were wet when we arrived. The house is in need of repair, the dryer doesn't work well, neither do the refrigerators. We did have plenty of room but I think the house needs a cleaning crew, not just one person, it is dirty. The cove is a great place to swim. The upper deck only had two chairs, one of which is broken. The couches are very stained and dirty. We expected a cleaner house for what we paid. The location and neighborhood are great.

The house had plenty of space and bathrooms which was great. The house was not cleaned very well as many of the sheets had stains so we washed and cleaned the house up a bit. Other than That it was a great stay.

Great location on Norris Lake.
Great location on Norris Lake. Since this is the off-season it was quiet and peaceful. Great place to paddle board! The house is perfect for large groups. However, it is well used, needs some maintenance and some new bed sheets and towels. The maintenance items mentioned in previous reviews are correct. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars. But we did enjoy our stay there.

Family fun
The property was pretty clean. The house was clean. This house is well used. It is not elegant or fancy. It was an average house for lots of people to enjoy each other’s company, which is what we wanted. If you want elegant, this is not the place for you. Definitely need new sheets! The bottom sheet would not stay on the most of the beds. The oven in the left side does not heat properly and the toaster is broken. The 3 refrigerators we perfect! We had the best time celebrating our parents 50th wedding anniversary. Plenty of room for 20-25 people. The decks were perfect. The dock is great. In the cove there is more debris in the water, but overall the water is very clean. We would rent it again for a family gathering. A boat is a must to fully enjoy the beauty and the lake.

Loved it!
We had a family reunion and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms were awesome. Some weren’t able to attend last minute but we had 20 people which meant we had a ton of space! One thing to keep in mind is this location is past the jumping bridge so don’t reserve a double decker boat. We were lucky that the marina had another boat to accommodate the bridge. The kids loved the slide and jumping off the top of the deck, it was a fabulous time!

Helpful tips
Big house - need more toilet paper Add tissues to each bathroom Add wall hooks in every room or stand alone closets. Some rooms had very very little space to hang clothes. One bottle of hand soap in every bath. Add electric to dock. If not at least to dock steps.

The kitchen with double ovens and refrigerators, the amount of space, bedrooms, bathrooms was awesome! We had plenty of room. The hot tub with the fire place so nearby was convenient. The owner was a great communicator. The whole cove had a friendly respectful vibe. We loved our stay and would go back every summer.

Needs some TLC
We chose this house because of the number of bedrooms and the online pictures. Would we stay there again? It wouldn’t be our first choice. The management team was great to work with, but they are managing a house that has seen lots of traffic and needs updates and tender loving care. Some are simple fixes - deep pocket sheets that stay on the bed all night for all the beds would be wonderful. Others updates will take more time and money - like repairing stair treads with nailheads poking through and replacing carpet that has seen better days; sticky doors, a bathroom doorknob that doesn’t lock; and perhaps updated kitchen appliances. They are very honest about the freezers inability to make ice on move in day. By midweek we had full ice buckets. There are two dishwashers, only one worked while we were there. There is a four slice toaster, only 2 of the slots worked. The master bath is beautiful, but the drain plug on the tub doesn’t work. So for us, it was a nice house, but…. However, we were impressed with the cleanliness, the large capacity washer and dryer, the well stocked kitchen cupboards - plenty of utensils, small kitchen appliances, LOTS of coffee mugs, and having 2 coffee pots was clutch. The guys loved all the TV’s. The outdoor furniture was ok. It was nice to have a dozen or so chairs by the fire pit, the dock area could use some updated furniture. We knew the house was at the end of a cove, but be forewarned, it takes at least 10 minutes to get to open water - and then you’ll need to slow down again because of the traffic at the jumping bridge. The jumping bridge was lots of fun for the brave-hearted in our crew! Ultimately for us vacation is about the people you are with, a house this size allowed us to spend a week with people we love. For that we are very thankful.

Fantastic Family Fun
Our family, from all over the country, just completed a Fantastic Vacation Reunion at "Cedar Cove". The nine bedroom, six bath home was everything we had hoped for. The large kitchen and dining area allowed plenty of room for our family of 17. Nine additional family members that we had allowed for could not make it, but it would have easily accommodated them and more. Your home was very clean, beds were comfortable and your dock area was fantastic for our jet ski and pontoon boat. The kids enjoyed the slide and jumping off the top deck. The Lake was the nicest one we have ever traveled and the adults spent days of enjoyment traveling over 800 miles of coastlines. We would highly recommend your property to all families that want to reunite at a fantastic location.

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 'Cedar Cove' cabin.
