About this property

Cozy, Rustic Cabin on Big Creek - Sleeps 10

Built in 1977, this cabin has served as a retreat for three generations of our family. Since 2006, its classic a-frame design, locally sourced wood and stone has invited guests to enjoy a cozy, outdoors getaway here on Norris Lake. We hope we can welcome you into our little slice of heaven.

Over the years we listened to every piece of feedback and advice our guests had. That’s why, in 2017, we underwent a massive renovation to meet those demands and keep up with the growing popularity of the area.

This three bed, two bath boasts an open floor plan downstairs and two large porches, both overlooking the lake. Downstairs, you will find the fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a master bedroom featuring classic, rustic cabin furnishings, a smart tv and a queen size bed, a newly renovated master bath with an oversized bath/shower combo and the great room. The great room includes upgraded DirectTV entertainment on a 55 inch flat-screen TV, a blue tooth sound bar as well as a sectional sofa, recliner and a love seat. Additional kitchen appliances can be found below.

Upstairs we have two bedrooms and a newly-renovated bathroom. The loft bedroom overlooking the great room sleeps 2 in a queen bed while the back bedroom sleeps 4 with two double beds. Both bedrooms are connected to the upstairs porch which includes seating. For your comfort, a window mounted air conditioner has been added to our upstairs double room.

Our cabin is centrally located so it's really easy to get where you need to go by water! Sequoyah Marina is one of the largest marinas on the lake, and you're just a 10 minute (speed) boat ride away! Sequoyah is a full-service marina offering WaveRunners and Pontoon boat rentals. They start off all their weekends on Friday night with their famous "Wing Night" serving the best wings and coldest Corona on Norris Lake!

Also, just a 10 minute (speed) boat ride away, is Whitman Hollow. Whitman is a smaller dock, but don't let that fool you. Froggies is Whitman's bar that prides itself on great music, delicious food, friendly staff and their high rise dining deck.

For all your land traveling needs, we're really in that happy medium of just close enough in case you need anything and far enough out to not be bothered by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You'll be in town in about 20-25 minutes and there you'll find an array of food, grocery shopping, gas stations etc.

We offer repeat renter discounts and welcome you to your vacation with a gift basket, setting us out from the rest. Unlike most rentals on Norris Lake, we are from this area and we'd like to think that gives us a little more appreciation and love for this amazing lake. Here, you're not just a tenant, you're a guest in our 3rd generation family home. Come stay with us, and see for yourself why life is always better at the lake.

Lake vacation 2023
The house was exactly as described. Our only issue was with meal times.There is no light over the dining table and only 4 chairs. We utilized the stools, but they are really too high for the table. There was plenty of room to park the car and truck and trailer. The access to the lake and dock was manageable. We had a great time!

We love this property. This is our second stay at this precious cabin and we’ve already booked our next trip to stay. This year the cabin was even more comfortable than last year. The property manager and owner are very attentive and responsive.

Norris Lake Stay
Very difficult identification of property (I suggest adding property number to home- less than $20). Code given by VRBO was inaccurate. Causing several issues which were resolved by property owner. Overall great place for our weekend. Catfish from the dock. Might be an internal leak, kitchen had running water noises.

Good for a group on the lake
We had a nice time at Norris Lake. The property is set up for a young family. Beware of the outside stairs and the steep hill to the lake. Ground is uneven on path going down and a twisted ankle is likely if you are not constantly aware. The kitchen has everything you need. A little on the expensive side but overall nice. (Cleaning crew should have cleaned air vent and swept deck.) But the view was great.

My wife and I live about 15 minutes from the property, making it easy to assist guests during their stay. We are very familiar with the area and always happy to offer suggestions about local entertainment and events!

Why they chose this property

We bought this property from parent's estate. Home was built by my wife's father. One of the choice lots in Big Creek one. He was the second person to buy property here and got what is considered the best two lots on the Big Creek site. Sits on a point about midway between Point 7 and 5. 10 minutes by boat from Norris Dam. 7 minutes by boat from Sequoyah Marina, Home of Fire on the Water 4th of July weekend fireworks extravaganza. Convenient to several Marinas, including Sequoyah, Whitman Hollow, and Shanghai. Drive times are Cincinnati 4 hours, Dayton 5 hours, Atlanta 4 hours,

What makes this property unique

Centrally located so it's easy to get to any area of the lake by boat in a reasonable amount of time. Secluded with only three homes on a cul-de-sac. We're the last house at the end of the road. The way the house is situated you can't see any other homes from the upper or lower deck.
