DOCK SPACE AVAILABLE FOR MINIMAL FEE at nearby Springs Dock Marina!!! Less than a four minute walk!

Almost all lake and lake view properties in this region are steep and hilly with difficult access. Not so at Dancing Dog! Mostly flat grounds allow for plenty of room for playing and relaxing for the entire family and boat/trailer storage space. Comfortable and plentiful seating for outdoor dining / fire pit use. Large yard for outdoor activities when not on the lake. Property is not lakefront, but is lakeview and a short four minute walk to full service Marina with boat ramp and boat rentals.
Front porch swing to welcome each morning. Afternoon hammock naps are a must. Star gazing under clear forest skies. Ice cream awaits at the full service marina for an evening stroll. Relax and enjoy. This home is located 45 minutes from exit 134 off I-75 and about one hour north of Knoxville. If it's quiet, beauty, space and artistic décor you seek - Dancing Dog will thrill and delight you fully. Dancing Dog is an older home (1972) but filled with quieting charm near one of America's cleanest deep water lakes, Norris Lake, will pull you back and back again. So will Dancing Dog.
The city of Lafollette TN, the closest town, is 12 curvy mountainous miles away. That is the closest food store and grocery location. Please stock up before you arrive.

About the host

Hosted by Manuel & Dana Mesa

Host profile image
Formerly the Dogwood Acres Bed & Breakfast, Dana and Manuel Mesa fell in love with property and surroundings and made it their new home after moving from Florida in 2004. We wanted to escape the heat and move to a cooler climate with changing seasons. The emerald green water of Norris Lake and the mountains of Tennessee were an easy sell.
We are excited to offer our home to you to relax and enjoy the beautiful sites and nature sounds of Norris Lake. Rated one of the nations cleanest lakes.

Why they chose this property

After two summer reunions on Norris Lake, we knew we had found our new home. After living in South Florida for 21 years, we decided to start looking for property. When we saw the Dogwood Acres property we were sold. Many homes around the lake had very steep and unusable property but due to the flat land it made it more appealing. We had also learned that the former owners Dorsal and Janet Jones, who had run it as a bed and breakfast, served ice cream in the back room of the house. People visiting the area still recall the overflowing ice cream cones they served.
I love the relaxed feeling and atmosphere that this house emanates. It is casual and easy. Everyone that visits feels a sense of calm as soon as they pull into the driveway. From the front porch swing to the sun room, room to sun or wander the grounds, this property has it all. It does not have lake access but when we get off the lake its a great place to come back to rest and just hang out.
The boat ramp is conveniently close and marina is walking distance for an evening stroll and ice cream cone.
If you're wondering why we named it the Dancing Dog House, it is because we love to dance and we love our dogs. We love animals and we hope your animals will love it here.
It is a special place that we love to share with others (four legged too!). Everyone that comes to stay always leaves feeling refreshed and rested. We hope you will too!!

What makes this property unique

Weddings, ice cream and a former bed and breakfast. The stories continue as we meet people that have been vacationing and visiting the lake since they were kids. In the spring the property comes alive with dogwood blossoms as well as the entire hill. Hence the street name, Dogwood Acres.
We love the fact that whatever time of day, there are always special spots and nooks to tuck into to relax or nap. Whether its a hammock, a lounge chair in the private lower yard, the front porch swing or a bench around the fire pit, this unique property is just what most people need to spend time with friends and family and reconnect. Hope you find what you are looking for whether it is at The Dancing Dog house or somewhere else on the lake. Wherever you end up relax and enjoy the view!
