About this property

Owl House on Norris Lake

Welcome to Owl House on Norris Lake!

We invite you to visit our charming lakeview cottage. Owl House is named for the barred owl that my grandchildren & I have been amazed to see hunting in the yard. If you sit quietly on the screened porch at dusk, you’ll have a good chance of seeing the owl too!

In September 2024, we finally got approval from TVA for our dock and mooring buoy. Mooring buoy is in place and useable to lake level of 1012 ft. Full pond for Norris Lake is 1020ft and normally stays near that until late August. A small dock is afloat as of April 2025. We are still working on the ramp and offshore anchoring which should be complete in May 2025.

In September 2022, we upgraded the AC/heat to a mini split HVAC unit. This unit serves all rooms except for the sleeping porch which has natural heat and cooling.

The cottage is located on Persimmon Road. Lake access is available within a 5 minute walk (you can also drive). Sequoyah Marina is the closest boat launch and Anderson County Park is nearby as well.

Owl House was originally an Alphabet House built at Oak Ridge. We guess it moved to Persimmon Road in the 1950s and some modifications were made, including raising the ceilings and adding 2 porches and a deck.

Norris Lake was the first TVA lake, the dam was completed in 1936. The lake has over 800 miles of shoreline and almost 34000 acres surface area at full pond level. It’s formed by the Clinch & Powell Rivers and is considered one of the cleanest TVA lakes. Weekly and monthly rates available.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
