Live life to the fullest in this beautiful log cabin nestled in the woods right at the water's edge.
Awaken to a fantastic view of blue sky, magificent southern white pines, and the still waters of Norris Lake. Savor a cup of coffee on the upper deck in the morning while being entertained by the birds and squirrels in the tree canopy. Fish for striped bass off of your private floating dock. Pile the crew into your boat and explore some of Norris Lake's 34,000 acres. Carve it up on glass-like water conditions almost any weekday. Splash and play with the kids in the clean emerald green water right off your private dock in this secluded deep water bay.
Leave the truck in the driveway as you rustle up a home-cooked meal in the fully-equipped kitchen, on the full-size SS gas grill, or even over the fire at the firepit, then eat together as a family. Take the kids on an exciting adventure down the well-maintained trail to explore "Bear Cave". Enjoy an evening card game with friends on the beautiful, well-lit, screened-in porch. Recap the day's events in the evening on the paver style patio surrounding the brick-firepit.
You will find this is one of the most enjoyable, stress-free vacations you have ever had. We love our little slice of paradise. We are happy to share it with you, and we thank you for treating it with care.

A fun time was had by all - it was great just to walk down & go swimming off the dock. Tony had fun exploring the shoreline in his raft. We put a lot of miles on the jet skis - our long day was 120+ miles!! Such pretty scenery... (almost to far end of the Clinch) And of course, we can't forget tubing and wakeboarding. Tony finished up his waterskiing (modified for wakeboarding) merit badge for Boy Scouts, and Sarah got better at jumping wakes and almost did a 180! We had a few rain showers, but card games and reading Harry Potter poased those times away! Thanks so much for sharing your cabin with us - it's a cool place!

We had a great time in your cabin. We caught a 13 pound striper using leeches! Crazy I know! We only lost one camper to the sharks - thank heavens! Great places to visit are the Save-A-Lot parking lot - great cell phone service :), also the Family Dollar is a great people-watching attraction. Springs Dock also has great cheese fries - mmm good. Our weather was beautiful and we experienced many aeronautical adventures on the lake. We love the cabin and the many exciting "hidden gems" of the lake. Thanks for everything!

What a wonderful time we had here. The view we had was amazing. We all loved the firepit. It is so hard to describe the sadness of leaving your cabin. We hope that we can come back next year!

Dear Cooks, My wife, daughter, son-in-law and 2 grandkids had a wonderful time at your TN retreat home. Weather was fantastic, fishing could have been better, fire pit provided great night time entertainment. I'm sure you're very proud of your labor of love in the cabin. The hard work and efforts paid off. It's so beautiful. We've always known TN is God's country: spending a week here proves it! My kids reallt enjoyed the company of the visiting dog companion. We had a Momma dog and her Beagle baby pup visit us one day and my 5 year old fell head over heels for this duo. Though he complained that the little beagle pup loved to "hug" his leg a little too much. Needless to say, they provided entertainment for us all. The kids loved sleeping in the closet upstairs. What a cute idea! Aidan fell asleep with his lightning bugs every night. Also, love the camp fire song book. I'm not sure your neighbors would say the same. LOL P.S. A must see if you need something to do, especially for the little ones, is the Knoxville Zoo: only about 45 minutes away. It puts our Cincy Zoo to shame!

We came for a family get-a-way. We fished, boated, swam, and had fun. The cabin and the lake was beautiful. We didn't see the Norris Lake Monster, but I had my camera ready for it. Maybe next time. Thanks you for the cabin - we had a lovely time.

This has been a wonderful week. The cabin is a great place to come and relax and made for a wonderful honeymoon. It's a beautiful place and the location is great. Hope to do it again on our first anniversary.

We had a great week. The weather was fabulous! It only rained once (overnight). The cabin is great. Our older kids loved swimming off the dock and fishing. Our younger kids loved the play closet and the sand pile at the end of the drive. One of our highlights was a beaver cominng up late at night to retrieve a branch. He was huge - at first we thought it was a baby bear. We also found a turtle near the tire swing. He was missing his toes on one of his front feet. The fishing wasn't great. Hubbie began calling the lake "the dead sea" :) The lake is beautiful. We spent hours kneeboarding, tubing, and cruising the lake. We went to eat dinner at one of the marinas one evening. Ordered pizza from Demory Mart one evening (good pizza). We had a great week here and would love to come back again. God Bless. PS - The view is spectacular! Coffee on the deck, every morning. :)

Shhh! Keep this plalce a secret. After 5 days here we could happily up sticks and move in. It would only be a matter of time before every Englishman we know would be renting homes, drivinng on the wrong side of the road, demanding Bitter, Stout and Guiness and trying to reclaim all of Tennessee for Queen & Country. Actually, we came, we swam, we ate, we skiied, we swam, and ate some more. Truely truely wonderful...& we promise not to tell a soul.
