Log home in peaceful cove. Great for multiple families. Starlink internet
Lazy Life Lake Lodge We have replaced our grill with a new stainless 5 burner grill and have also replaced all mattresses and box springs, king size beds in bedrooms 3 queen beds in loft. This gorgeous log home is located in a pristine cove in the Cove Pointe / Big Creek area on Norris Lake (point 6). The lake is literally right out your window. Home is in a cove so lake/ dock is primarily accessible may, June, July, aug early September due to lake level dropping in the off season. We still book outside lake season as the area is a peaceful getaway to enjoy family time.
The home features two main decks that over look the crystal clear lake and woods and there are 2 smaller decks on the side of the home and out front. Great places to hang out.
The home itself boasts a well furnished great room that is so welcoming and includes a nice large fire place with a newly installed big screen TV above fireplace. Great place to relax and enjoy family. Also a highlight are the excellent dining areas both inside and on the main deck with a wonderful view of the woods and water. You will find that everyone seems to gravitate to that main deck and its so fun to settle in after a long day on the water to laugh and tell stories. The kitchen is fully equipped and up to date including disposal, blender, dish washer etc. so you can focus on the fun stuff rather than the clean up. The washer and dryer in the main bathroom offers further convenience.
All bedrooms are roomy and tastefully finished- pillow and fresh bed linens provided. And if you fall asleep on that comfy couch... well... people might just leave you there!
Also- just in case of a rainy day we have videos and games but feel free to bring your own favorite fun stuff. The cabin has Wi-Fi but we hope you spend most of your time on the water and don't really need it.
The easy walk to the dock and water is a short path through the beautiful canopy of trees. You may see deer- turtles- squirrels- wood peckers- otters or just about anything on your way to the lake. The dock gives you plenty of room to put your boat and feel free to bring your jet skis and put then on the 2 jet ski ports. Sequoyah, Whitman Hollow and Star Dust Marinas are near by. In season you can enjoy great food and drinks at the marinas.
Need a boat look up local marinas for rentals.
You just wont find a home this nice in such a beautiful cove on Norris Lake at this price. Trust me- this is the best part of the lake! And the beautiful cabin is perfect!!

We had a great time at this location. The house comes with all the amenities to facilitate a weeklong stay. The location on the lake provides a great cove to swim in (kids absolutely loved the slide) and we were able to visit almost all the marinas on the west side of the lake via boat. Would definitely recommend a stay here.
Loved this cabin. It was perfect for our early Thanksgiving with our family. The kids had plenty of room to play and sleep. We spent most of our time outside enjoyed playing corn hole and hanging out by the fire. The property is very peaceful and beautiful to the lake. Would recommend this property to anyone looking to get away.
Loved the cabin like house, the porches, the private dock, the cove, the nature and the fire pit. All of it was wonderful!!
Perfect rooms for the whole family!!
Very relaxing and comfortable. Lots of steps to the water, but not a problem.
Highly recommend this house for family vacations!
Would also recommend renting a boat if you don't already have one, the lake is beautiful!
Overall, the cabin was beautiful and the view even more lovely. The internet and cable were intermittent but we brought our Roku and had absolutely no problems watching tv in the evening.
The only problem we had was that TVA had continued dropping the lake level and one day after we had been out boating all day, we came back and noticed that the whole dock had been moved down in front of the next door neighbor. But we spoke with the owners (who were always responsive) and got permission from their neighbor to use their stairs.
All in all - we had a wonderful time and enjoyed our stay.
Thank you!
If you are looking to get away from hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is a good place to do it. The beds were great. This is a large place and will sleep a small army. It is a nice cabin, right on beautiful Norris Lake which has some of the clearest, cleanest water you will see. Communication with the owner was very good. Everything worked. We went during the off season so the lake was dropped to winter pool levels. I think it would have been nicer at summer pool levels and taking a boat, but we just wanted some time together as a family. I recommend it.

Eight was enough in this cozy log cabin
If you’re looking to be close with your friends and family, this will work for you. It’s a pretty log cabin, but it is not roomy. The bedrooms are good sized with king beds, but the single living room is small and the only dining table seats eight. There is no outdoor eating area with seats unless you want to hold plates on your lap.
It was very dirty, not swept, dust built up on ceiling fans, and vents, dirty fridge, etc. The dock is peeling paint and broken Bring extra forks and lighting if you plan to sit outside as there is a lack of both. There are lots of bath towels and the a/c and hot water work well. Nice swimming area in front of the dock.
We had a large group of family (consisting of 5 smaller families) together at the house, and it worked very well for us. Overall, there were pros and cons, but there was nothing that was a deal breaker for the week and we were able to enjoy our time there as a family.
Pros:
* Check in was super easy
* Host was quick to respond to messages and to try and help where they could.
* The beds were very comfortable
* The photos represented the house fairly well, and we pretty much got what we were expecting.
Cons:
* As some other reviews say, the driveway is very steep, much steeper than it seems in the photos.
* The house was still pretty dirty when we got there. Things like the floor, counters, some dishes, and bathroom rugs were are very dirty, and there was broken glass all over the table and floor. The hosts were helpful though and got someone to bring us over a mop as soon as they could. They offered to clean, but we didn't want someone else in our space.
* The dock is in rough shape - there are multiple cracks on planks, there is exposed, sharp metal at the entrance to the boat slips, and the slide is very rickety and the water pump to it is not setup.
* The wifi barely works most of the time - if you're expecting to get any work done, you need to go into town or to a marina to really access the internet.
Great place for a family vacation! Responsive host, comfortable accommodations, well-stocked kitchen, quiet location on a beautiful lake--ticked all the boxes!
The house and property were great and very reasonably priced! The dishwasher and kitchen sink have problems but otherwise a spectacular experience had by all!
Great vacation, very nice location, the house is fully equipped only one suggestion that they should pay more attention to the cleaning service because there were some places that were poorly cleaned, besides, everything was great and we had a nice time there
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had a gorgeous week and were able to spend time on the lake daily. Bring your own DVD/blu ray movies if you like to watch movies - there is wifi but it doesn’t support online movie platforms well (but the owner was upfront about the wifi). Awesome family time!!

Private and beautiful
We had a great weekend staying on the lake here at this beautiful cabin. We stayed for the weekend and found this cabin to be very private and found so much to do to jam pack our stay with lots to do. Would definitely come again and would recommend to a large family or to just a couple to get away. Owners were very kind and responsive with answers to my questions. Thanks again!
This lake house is perfect for family wanting to get away, relax, and enjoy the mountain lake. It’s huge but not fancy so you can put your feet up and relax. Plenty of outdoors to love and a nice place to retreat inside. It is quintessential lake house. Don’t expect fancy, but it has everything you need. Owners are super responsive and nice.
Its a great location with plenty of room and a very nice part of the lake. We had camp fires, used the dock, rented a boat and went off-roading near by. Stock up before you go, your about 25 minutes from groceries. If your into water sports or fishing, the lake is amazingly clear and you can hop from marina to marina to refresh and eat.
Very nice cabin. Norris Lake is very clean. The only thing i didnt agree with was the clean up rules when leaving. I can see straightening everything up but, wiping down bathroom and kitchen counters, and stove
and refridgerator, plus sweeping all the floors, emptying all trash and starting a load of towels and sheets is what you pay a cleaning fee for.

Toilets were not clean, had poo on toilet when we arrived. No air hockey table like advertised.
We loved our time at the Lake House. It was in a beautifully quiet cove with a really fun water slide for our kids to play on. Swimming off the dock was a favorite of ours. The dock was a great place for our boat and we loved the rope swing across the lake! The lake itself is so clean...
We enjoyed having fires out in the fire pit and dinners on the screened in porch, all with views of the lake. It is important to note there are a LOT of stairs between the lake and the house, so get ready to get some exercise! We also loved paddle boarding...
The hosts were great and quick with their responses, despite the difficulty with reception...
