About this property

'The Lakefront Lodge' - Spacious Lakefront 3 Bedroom W/ Private Covered Dock

Please Note: Our house is in a peaceful cove in the Big Creek area of Norris Lake. It is perfect for families and friends looking to have a fun and relaxing vacation. If you are a college group or group of loud, partying adults we suggest you look for other properties around Norris Lake.

This spacious lakefront log home is perfect for your family get-away. The 2800 sf cabin sleeps 12 and features two large family rooms with plenty of space to play games, watch movies, and spend quality time together. It has 3 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths and features lots of windows to view the blue-green waters of beautiful Norris Lake from almost any room in the house. The location on the water is in the highly desirable and secluded Big Creek area of Norris Lake perfectly situated between Whitman Hollow and Sequoyah Marinas. The Lakefront Lodge features new stainless steel appliances, fully equipped kitchen, 50 lb per day ice maker, large bedrooms, family room w/foosball, and first-level living room. Access the two-level spacious decking overlooking Norris lake through either the living room or family room. It is minutes away from Whitman Hollow, Sequoyah Marina, and Shanghai Resort. Don't worry about the security of your boat trailer at a boat launch since there is plenty of on-site parking for boat trailers and vehicles.

This 2800 square foot home sleeps 12 and has 3 levels with lots of windows:

The top has 1 master bedroom with king bed, full sleeper sofa and full bath with jacuzzi tub.

The middle (main) has a living room, kitchen, dining room with table seating for 8 plus 2 more at the kitchen counter and 1/2 bath. The spacious living room offers a 65” TV and two full size leather reclining couches, leather recliner, and bay window for additional seating.

The lower has 2 bedrooms. One with a Queen bed and a set of bunk beds and the other has full over full bunk beds. Between the bedrooms is a full bath with washer and dryer. The lower level has a family room with LED TV and foosball table which leads out to a large deck overlooking beautiful Norris Lake.

Outside, enjoy gathering with family & friends while grilling out on the gas grill or playing corn hole. There is plenty of eating & gathering space outside on the lower deck, or enjoy eating at the upper level 'high-top' area while overlooking the water. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee on the porch swing with just the sounds of nature on this secluded part of the lake. During the day, spend time boating on the clear, glass-like water of Big Creek or just relax and have fun swimming or hanging out at the private covered dock with giant swim platform and picnic tables...in the back of a quiet deep-water cove, there's no need to worry about wake from boats cruising by at high speed. Float in the lake or take the paddle boat or 2 provided kayaks out for a cruise and look for many of the turtles, heron, or beavers that live in the cove. Fishing off a paddle boat is great too - it gives you access to many more spots on the water than you could fit a boat. In the evenings, enjoy eating S'mores around the campfire at the large fire pit.

Take the steps or walk the concrete path using the available pull-cart down to the Private Wahoo dock with 26' deep covered single slip, swim platform, & gangway with rails. A giant 30' x 16' (480 sq ft) steel platform dock was added in 2017. This swim platform has multiple picnic tables and seating for relaxing and fishing in the back of the cove. You may want to spend all day just at the dock with our recently installed patio cooler, water slide, and water basketball hoop. All docks have composite decking so no need to worry about splinters in little feet. Please note: like many houses at Norris lake, there are steps to the water. Taking the path will only leave 25-35 steps depending on the water level.

We do ask all guests to wet-sign a copy of our rental agreement subsequent to booking.

Norris Lake Family Vacation
Very nice stay at Lakefront Lodge. Location of property on cove was perfect to be away from the boat traffic but still easy to get to most locations on the water. Dock area was very nice to hang out and swim. Property is as described and very clean. Owners were very responsive to very minor issues we had and great to work with. Only downside specifically for our family with children was there are a lot of steps (100+) down to the water from the house with no railing for most of the way. Even the walk path down is quite steep. This is common for this area but good to be aware of this in advance.

Good house/ convenient location on the lake
Great house. It has a decent amount of steps to get down to the water, but if you minimize trips, it’s definitely doable. There is a ramp that you can walk things down with the provided carts, but it is still fairly steep. The listing states there is no WiFi, but it has been recently outfitted and worked well for everyone that was in the house. Most things that we needed in the kitchen were supplied as far as cooking utensils. The dock was very nice and the kids had a blast sliding down the water slide. Overall it was a very nice house with plenty of room.

Quiet cove vacation
This was our third year to Norris Lake and just one more reason to keep coming back. Property was just as listed and was nice being in a no wake cove. Easy access to launch boat 16 min away and plenty of room for vehicles and trailer. Thanks again for allowing us to stay in your home.

We love this lake front property!
The property is right on the water with a wonderful covered dock to hang out at the lake. It is in a great location and close by everything we like to do. The house is awesome with a really good layout and a nicely stocked kitchen for those times when you want to cook meals. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Nick Braun

Host profile image
We live in Dayton, OH and have rented houses and floating houses at Norris Lake with family and friends for approximately 15 years. We purchased this cabin in 2014 and have worked hard to furnish with amenities we looked for as renters. I think you'll find the Lakefront Lodge fully furnished with everything you'll need for a great vacation. We know your family and friends will enjoy being at the Lake Front Lodge as much as we do - it's perfect for that relaxing get-away.

Why they chose this property

The Lake Front lodge is in the perfect location on Big Creek. After many years renting near Springs and Flat Hollow, we tried the Big Creek area and fell in love. Big Creek has it all...calm water for watersports, great fishing, and close enough to the large marinas for nightlife. If you're looking for relaxation, we enjoy sitting on the back porch swing looking out over the cove - it's perfect!

What makes this property unique

After looking at many homes for several years, we fell in love with the Lake Front Lodge due to the large kitchen and family rooms for gatherings. When vacationing in the mountains, staying in a log cabin adds to the vacation experience.
