About this property

Breathtaking Mountain Lake Retreat

Captivating views and inviting amenities throughout this beautiful spacious log home are relaxing to everyone. The area's finest craftsmen/artisans built this tranquil home ideally suited for the perfect getaway for 2-14 guests. Three fireplaces both inside and outside on the upper porch help create a rustic comfort with a view of both the mountains and prestine Norris Lake. Cedar Grove Marina is just five minutes away with ample watercraft rentals.

The main level, loft and second level are accessible to guests along with the two entire levels of wrap around porches. Stone throughout the cabin with hand hewn logs makes the indoor and outdoor fireplace , Amish rocking chairs and leather couch even more inviting.

This was our second stay in this cabin. Since the last time, basement was finished and we loved the extra space. It is such a peaceful setting! Russell went above and beyond helping us change dates after an unexpected hospital stay.My only suggestions: 1. As one of our party has balance issues, a handrail on basement stairs would be nice, 2. We would love more outdoor furniture to enjoy the views/be able to dine outside. Love this cabin. Plan to visit again.
Lots of space for quiet reflection
Big welcoming porches
Walking the dog around the circle - lots of elevation change
Love being able to take our dog.

The cabin itself is beautiful and the host is a very nice man. Sadly, the house had some serious cleanliness issues and was infested with bugs. We notified the host, however he said nothing could be done.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Jan, 2026
Seems a little strong use of words. Infested with bugs is an over statement. All the lady bugs were removed before Nathan arrived. There were only a handful of lady bugs on two second story windows. Yes, my exterminator confirmed that lady bugs are not removed like other bugs. The only cleaning item mentioned was Nathan found some white dog hair. Ironically we talked about that and my impression was it wasn’t a big deal since he had a dog.

Beautiful Cabin with Fabulous views

This was a great place for our family to stay while visiting my parents on Norris Lake. Lots of room to spread out and a great dining table for family meals and playing games. Beds were comfortable and it was very quiet. Bathrooms had lots of towels The only thing I would have liked to have had was some type of closet/shelves/dressers for our clothing. For longer stays I don’t like living out of a suitcase. All in all it was a wonderful stay.

Family Retreat

Beautiful inside and out. Community is peaceful and a landmark from the lake. We took a boat trip to hwy 33 bridge and back to Cedar Grove Marina. We had a great time with a speed boar rental. Our ancestors came through Claiborne County after the Rev. War. I loved the Cumberland Park history. Great location.

This house was amazing! Russ was great! We rented a pontoon from Cedar Grove Marina and spent a day on Norris Lake. We saw so many deer, and a bear! My brother got engaged on the deck with the smokies in the background. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful home and picturesque view!!!

This home was absolutely perfect for our family's spring break getaway. We had plenty of space, yet enjoyed a lot of time together sitting on the deck and enjoying the view. Just a quick drive to groceries and shopping- yet still enjoying the privacy and solitude of the mountains! House was well appointed, clean and exactly as described/pictured. Can't wait to return to this Tennessee gem!

Great cabin!

This was the best air b and b we have stayed at. Was fully stocked and I love how when guests leave spices etc it didn’t go to waste. Manager was nice and fixed the one issue we had with the grill. The hills to get to location was a bit difficult with a boat but manageable. Parking you can fit 4-6 vehicles. Overall for price and location it’s great!

Beautiful peaceful cabin

The cabin was just as pictured, the surrounding deck with views was amazing. You could watch the fog rise up from the lake every morning while having your coffee. Very well stocked cabin, gorgeous baths, great laundry room with supplies. The beds were a little firm for us, but we’re used to pillow top mattresses. Russ met us at the cabin and was very sweet. He called the marina minutes away from the cabin to be sure we could rent a boat (we got a 15% discount because we were renters with Russ). It you’re looking for quiet peaceful getaway close to Norris Lake away from the craziness of Pigeon Forge, this is it.
