About the host
Hosted by Tom Sturm, owner and rental agent
Andy and Emmy Weiss have RV'd through nearly all 50 states with their kids Sarah and Jack, but when they stayed at a park next to Norris Lake in the fall of 2020, they were hooked. Enter real estate broker and long time Norris lover Tom Sturm, his wife Judy and daughter Shannon ... partner us up on a pretty slice of heaven in their sweet spot near Flat Hollow Marina ... and you've got two families making their dreams come true.
Andy's a veteran real estate manager and highly regarded coach with Coldwell Banker Realty, serial investor and entreprenuer; Emmy's a long time nutritionist for sports teams and corporate businesses; Sarah's off to OSU to study sports med and physical therapy enjoying long time passion as a medaled gymnast; and Jack's into everything fun, but especially band, baseball with a traveling league, and anything to do with the great outdoors. This active family is on the road every chance they get, and equally loves running at full speed as well as relaxing around a campfire together with friends and family.
Tom and Judy have been in real estate for nearly 50 years between them - investing, rehabbing, renting and selling - but their favorite outlet is at Norris Lake where they have a vacation home / 2nd home real estate business catering to retirees, investors and lake lovers of all flavors.
Judy's a gifted designer and executes the planning phases and finds the perfect furnishings and decor, while Tom loves to direct the contractors and dream up the fun stuff outside the houses and on the water. Shannon's finishing her senior year at Wheaton College as a marketing and communications major with a minor in psych, combining a good head for business with a big heart for people, especially boyfriend Austin who deserves a mention as they've been together for nearly 6 years now, and he's invested a lot of love and work into all the projects here at Norris as well.

Why they chose this property
Doc's Lake Escape took our breath away the first time we pulled around the bend, and still makes our hearts skip a beat every time we open the gate and look around.
We own a couple other lakefront houses, and Tom manages a bunch more ... but this place creates a one-of-a-kind experience that allows any group or family to spread out and enjoy the best of Norris Lake along with all the best of hanging out on a private retreat with your favorite people in a paradise packed with fun and natural beauty.
Can't see a neighbor anywhere, gate can lock behind you, and the place is yours to enjoy and explore, discovering creeks and woods as well as relaxing by the custom built firepit, soaking in the 6-person hot tub, hanging out under the covered pavilion, on the decks and patios or out by Doc's Hideaway, the converted double carport that will boast an outdoor bar, games, and more.
With kayaks to take down to the marina and a covered slip (D32) for your watercraft or any you want to rent ... all the best Norris Lake has to offer is just minutes away. Parks, museums, trails, shopping, golfing, horseback riding, ATV trailheads and so much more to do all around the four counties surrounding the lake ... or make the drive to Knoxville (1.25 hours), Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg (2.25 hours) and many more attractions in the surrounding towns and cities.

What makes this property unique
Over the years, our family has rented many homes in many areas of Norris Lake, but we intentionally return time and again to the Flat Hollow area. We found that the friendliness of the property owners, renters and the Marina owners, Chris and Jamie Rademacher, make us feel right at home. We prefer the sounds of nature and laughter day and night instead of roaring speed boats and loud stereos.
We also enjoy being close to Flat Hollow Marina (and other marinas) for the convenience of a full service restaurant, gas station, bait shop and marine store - relaxing to drive down to pick up call-ahead carry out or eat out when the ladies need a break and the guys aren't grilling, or just walking down for ice cream or seasonal entertainment and karaoke on the weekends.
But our absolute favorite things are... sitting on the deck every morning with a cup of coffee, listening to loons and crows call as the sun rises over the hilltop... hanging out with friends on the deck, patios or hot tub after a great day on the lake and a delicious dinner from the grill. Later you'll find yourself hanging out by the fire, or stargazing from the upper deck and being awestruck as shooting stars streak against the velvet black, Tennessee sky.
Let us know how we can make your special event, big celebration, or family or group vacation extra special - we and our staff are happy to accommodate any way we can. Come on down and stay a while - and tell us your favorite thing to experience at Doc's Lake Escape!
