About this property

Water front log cabin and dock on Norris Lake, perfect for your family vacation!

Located on beautiful Norris Lake in the Cumberland Mountains, you will find this three-bedroom custom log cabin provides a warm and welcoming haven for your upcoming trip.

This spring we added a beautiful roof, matching the log cabin architecture, over part of the lake facing deck. It creates a wonderful gathering space with spectacular views. Further, we have installed new cedar railing around the entire deck!

As you step inside the cabin, you'll be greeted by a fully stocked kitchen with granite countertops, beautiful wood cabinets, and all the necessary appliances to prepare delicious meals and clean up afterward. Gather around the inviting kitchen island, bay window breakfast nook, dining room table, outdoor umbrella table or table under the new roof on the wrap around deck, taking in the stunning lake views.

Curl up by the electric fireplace in the living room and enjoy a movie on the smart TV or via computer using the free Starlink unlimited high speed internet. Families will appreciate the selection of games and books available, offering entertainment for all ages. The home also features a desk overlooking the great room and lake, perfect for those who need to get some work done during their stay.

When it's time to unwind, retreat to one of the 2.5 bathrooms, where you'll find towels, basic soaps, and a hair dryer. Refresh yourself with a warm shower or a relaxing soak in the tub. And don't forget to take advantage of the on-site washing machine and dryer.

Venture outside and gather around the fire pit (wood provided), or simply relax on the outdoor furniture and soak up the peaceful atmosphere.

Whether you're seeking a cozy weekend getaway or a longer vacation, this 3-bedroom vacation home in LaFollette, TN, is the perfect destination to unwind, reconnect, and create lasting memories.

Excellent location on the lake. The sun comes up in front of the cabin in the morning, so you can enjoy breakfast on the covered porch. It's located in a cove off the main channel so there is very little boat traffic. Checking in and out was very easy, and Gerry was always available if needed. He made great recommendations for the local restaurants and other things to do.

About the host

Hosted by Gerry Otto Sr

Host profile image

Our family has been fishing and boating on Norris Lake for over 30 years. Grandpa, "The Legend", was a popular fishing guide out of Springs Dock. Grandma loved taking the family out on the pontoon boat to meet up with friends at Debbie's cove. We learned time on Norris is all about making magical memories. We purchased Powder Mill Lodge in 2018 with the goal of providing customers with a beautiful setting to make their own lifelong stories.

Why they chose this property

Powder Mill Lodge is a beautiful log house with some of the best views on Norris. While nestled in a private setting, it is close to both a popular marina and beautiful golf course. Also, for Powder Mill Lodge guests interested in going on a fishing trip, we have arranged for a professional fishing guide to pick up and drop off at Powder Mill Lodge dock and to offer a discount.
