About this property

LAKE FRONT! 15 Beds, 2 kitchens, 2 living rms, HUGE dock w 2 covered boat slips!

“Family Affair” is an enormous 5,000 square foot home with 15 beds (7 of which are King size beds). The lake house is located right on the water's edge!!! The entire house with all amenities are strictly yours to enjoy, this includes a huge private double level dock with two covered boat slips and a swim platform. The private boat ramp (for the gated community only) is only about 50 yards from house, so putting your boat in and out will be easy. Family Affair is about a five minute boat ride to the famous 'jumping bridge' and about six minutes to ski water.. Family Affair is ideal for family gatherings or entertaining large groups. You can see us on faceb00k at "family affair - norris lake". Its open floor plan has 2 full living levels and each level has a full kitchen, living room, and dining area. Both kitchens are equipped with granite counter tops, refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, and microwaves. With 8 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, plus four private vanities with sinks and mirrors (in four of the bedrooms), this huge house can accommodate up to 26 guests in beds. (7 king, 4 Twin, 4 full)
Located on an acre lot with more than 150 feet of private water frontage, “Family Affair” is built right on the lake shore as close to the lake as the Tennessee Valley Authority will allow. It has three furnished walkout decks overlooking a tranquil swimming cove where family and friends can float in the sun with no worry of speeding boats or big waves. The lowest of these three decks has a secluded 8 person hot tub for taking in the lake scenery while your relaxation is taken to a whole new level.
Take the steps from the lowest of the three walkout decks to your own private fire pit on the water’s edge. A good late night fire is a perfect way to end the evening next to the lake while telling everyone about your day at the jumping bridge (five minutes away by boat).
Finally, just a short distance from the fire pit, is one of the biggest private docks on the lake. The dock has two covered slips for your boats, two personal watercraft drive up docks, and a sunning deck. The second level of the dock is a gigantic 31’ x 31’ platform that sits 10 feet above the water. It’s a great place to play corn hole, take in the surrounding sites, or just relax in the sun.
“Family Affair” is located in Lakeside Estates, a gated community a few miles from I-75 and minutes from the city of LaFollette. You couldn't ask for a better location. The cove, where “Family Affair” is located, is a short boat ride to Sugar Hollow Marina, Shanghai Marina, and Springs Resort. These locations are conveniently close, but still far enough away as not to interfere with the tranquility and isolation of this wonderful lake home. Norris Lake is a boater's utopia spanning 5 Tennessee counties with more than 800 miles of shoreline. After 18 years of boating on Norris Lake, there are still many areas we have yet to explore. Norris Lake has over 20 marinas with fuel, food, and entertainment. These are great places to have a drink, watch the game, and to people watch. Many of these marinas have great food, especially fish dinners. If you haven't eaten the striper from Norris Lake you are missing what a lot of people consider the best tasting fish anywhere. If you plan on fishing we can recommend a wonderful fishing guide that we used recently. This guy knows his stripers! Just let us know and we will provide his contact information

The huge two level, two slip covered dock allows you to boat and fish most anytime of the year!! Many houses in coves loose their water in the early fall when the lake is lowered and by mid September these homes can NOT be accessed by water. Typically, Family Affair can be accessed by water, even though it is in a tranquil cove, this is unique!! If you plan on boating or fishing after September or before April please let us know and we will get the current lake level for you to MAKE SURE the water level is acceptable for any planned activities.

Every December our family rents a cabin for a long weekend to be together. Family affair was the best we’ve ever picked. The house is well-built, well-stocked and very clean. Since it’s winter, we did not enjoy the lake, but I can only imagine the additional fun on the water!

Our family had the most amazing vacation at Family Affair home!! There is so much space. We had more than enough space for our family. The bedrooms are all spacious. There is so much to do that we hardly ever left the house. With 2 kitchens and dining areas we had everything we needed for our family chef to do his thing. The kids had a blast playing and running around the area hiking and exploring.We will be back in the summer time and take a trip to the jumping bridge!!The double decks on the boat dock was awesome for sitting and enjoying the beautiful views!

Family Fun Vacation

The home was great and we had plenty of room for 15 of us. The lake was great and the boat dock. Everyone loved the space, pool table and games. My only issue for me and my husband was, we are both 65 and the stairs gave us a challenge, but we did it. The owners were amazing and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the home and our stay.

Perfect Getaway by the Lake!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lakehouse! The property was spotless and well-maintained, with stunning views of the lake from every room. The spacious deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening BBQs. We loved the private dock, which made it easy to enjoy the lake. The hosts were incredibly responsive and provided great local tips. Highly recommend for a relaxing and memorable vacation!
