About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Huge Lakeside Lodge has stunning views and an easy walk to its big dock!

As you enter the front door, the Lodge's elk welcomes you from its mount on a 24-foot-tall, stone fireplace. The enormous living room features mountain cabin décor with peeled logs from Mount St. Helens and Acacia hardwood floors. The entire south wall is a bank of windows that gives you a breathtaking scene of Lake Norris and its hills. Your glorious scene is private – no other house is in view.

The living room offers two comfy leather couches, a leather chair and ottoman, an overstuffed recliner, a stereo system, and a 70" HDTV with a DVD player, many DVDs, cable TV, free Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, other internet services, and free WiFi. The living room flows into the kitchen with new slate flooring, a seventeen-foot-long granite island, and counter seating for seven. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare and to serve meals for the entire lodge. It has two pantries, two sinks, two refrigerators (each with an ice maker), two full-sized dishwashers, two ovens, two microwave ovens, two coffee pots, two blenders, and a six-burner cook-top on a second, granite island.

The dining room is right next to the kitchen and features two beautiful oak tables and sixteen matching chairs. Two woodsy chandeliers and elk-horn candelabras make the perfect setting for your meals. To top it off, you have awesome views of the lake from both the kitchen and the dining room -- and nearly every other room in the lodge as well.

Your views get even better when you step through kitchen’s sliding glass door onto the large, two-story deck. Four tables comfortably seat twenty people on the new Brazilian hardwood deck. The grilling area has both a big gas grill and a charcoal grill, as well as a stainless-steel prep table. After your meal, an outdoor sofa and two swivel chairs beckon you to relax, put your feet up, and soak up the awesome lake view. If you walk down to the lower deck, a hanging chair and a hammock await you for the perfect post-meal nap.

The Lakeside Lodge has six master bedrooms, each with a king bed, private bathroom, television, full-sized closet, and lodge decor. On the lower floor, a Kid's Kamp area has two bunks that sleep six kids and features a “cave” full of pillows. These rooms can sleep up to 20 people, and if you need more room, you may also rent the Lakeside Lookout, an efficiency cottage on the property that sleeps four (Vrbo Property No. 1731053). The Lookout has its own private swimming platform/dock and superb views of Norris Lake from its deck.

The Lodge provides everything for your recreation. Downstairs, a giant game room has ping pong, Foosball, air hockey, giant checkers, a closet full of games and Legos, a TV with a DVD player, Netflix, and video games. The Lodge also gives you easy access to the lake. A short walk down a paved sidewalk (with no stairs) takes you down to a big, blue dock with two jet ski ports and a double, covered berth for your boats. At the dock, you can swim, float, boat, fish, relax on teak benches -- or swing on the double teak swing.

At the Lodge's private dock, you and your family can swim in a safe cove off the main channel and away from fast-moving boats. Our cove is only a five-minute boat ride away from the pirate-themed Sugar Hollow Marina and is less than two miles from the lake’s well-known jumping bridge -- a guaranteed thrill. And after a day of swimming, boating, tubing, and water-skiing, you and your family can watch the stars come out around our new fire pit, complete with a picnic table and circle of new Adirondack chairs. To top off your perfect day on the water, a crackling campfire and tasty s’mores await you!

To lay out the specifics, the Lakeside Lodge has three floors with these rooms:

MAIN LEVEL: (1) Main entrance with powder room off foyer, (2) big living room with wood-burning fireplace, (3) kitchen, (4) dining room, (5) huge deck, dining tables, and grilling area, and (6) Gray MBR #1 with king bed, lake view, TV, double sink with granite countertops, Jacuzzi tub by lakeside window, and full bath with tub/shower.

LOWER LEVEL (1) Huge game room with ping pong, Foosball, and air hockey tables, giant checkers, corn hole, and a Roku Smart TV with Netflix, a DVD player, many video games, Xbox, PS1, PS2, and Sega Genesis units, and a double closet full of board games, toys, puzzles, and 72 gallons of Legos, (2) Kids Kamp with two double bunks (each with a double bottom bunk), lake view, and entrance to “The Cave” (a closet camping adventure with winking stars in the ceiling, a toy campfire, and pillow animals), (3) laundry room with two extra-large washers and two extra-large dryers, wash tub, iron, ironing board, and laundry table, (4) lower deck with hammock and hanging chair, (5) Green MBR #2 with king bed, lake view, TV, full bath with tub/shower, and (6) Blue MBR #3 with king bed, lake view, TV, and full bath with tub/shower.

UPSTAIRS LEVEL: (1) Mauve MBR #4 with king bed, lake view, TV, window seat, and full bath with shower, (2) Gray MBR #5 with king bed, TV, and full bath with tub/shower, (3) Yellow MBR #6 with king bed, daybed with trundle, lake view, TV, window seat, and full bath with tub/shower.

COVERED DOCK: A paved, sloped walkway leads down to the fire pit area, which provides seating for 20+ and a picnic table. The concrete path continues down to the blue-roofed dock, which has two jet ski ports and a covered double slip for your boats. The dock features a swim platform and ladder, and ample seating on two teak benches, two teak chairs, two teak side tables, and a teak swing to enjoy your sunset over the lake.

OTHER AMENITIES: You'll have easy parking with three parking areas for all your guests’ vehicles and boat trailers. The Lodge also provides pots and pans, cooking, serving, and eating utensils, a hair dryer in each bathroom, hangers, a telephone land line, linens for each bedroom, fire detectors, and fire extinguishers. The Lodge has air conditioning throughout its 6252 square feet and sleeps a maximum of 20 people. The Lakeside Lookout is a cottage on the property that is also available for rent. It sleeps four people and has a king bed, a queen bed in a loft, full kitchen, deck with grilling area, lake views, and its own boat dock/swimming platform.

The Lodge is pet-free and non-smoking. You may rent it for a minimum of three days from mid-August to June (four-day minimum for Thanksgiving and Christmas), and if you rent for six days, you receive the seventh day free. From June to mid-August, you may rent it for a minimum of seven days, Saturday to Saturday.

The Lodge is part of Deerfield Resort, an exclusive, secluded area nestled between the Cumberland Mountains and the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. As our guest, you have free use of the community swimming pool, tennis courts, and playgrounds. You may also patronize Deerfield’s 18-hole golf course, private airstrip, two restaurants, marina, and tiki bar. Deerfield Resort is about 35 miles south of the Kentucky border, eleven miles from La Follette, and 30 miles north of Knoxville.

And Norris Lake has it all. Its beautiful, blue-green waters cover 34,000 acres and span over 800 miles of shoreline. The clear, pristine waters of the Clinch and the Powell Rivers provide endless opportunities for recreation – including swimming, bridge-jumping, rope swinging, boating, water skiing, wake boarding, knee boarding, tubing, jet skiing, jet boarding, hydro-biking, kayaking, fishing, and charter fishing. Around the lake, you’ll also find great places for ATV riding, horseback riding, biking, and hiking. It's the ideal place for vacationers and sports enthusiasts!

Beautiful, spacious house on the lake with so much to offer!!
Whether on either of the two decks, around the large kitchen table or massive island, game room or living area, this house allows plenty of opportunity to spend time with family or friends! We had no younger children in our group, but the kids kamp is adorable and makes me wish that my children/grandchildren were young enough to bring here. My siblings/husband live in four different states and this place was perfect for us to meet, kick back and enjoy some time reconnecting. So much to do that we didn’t even have time to do it all! The owners are very responsive and kind to share their get away with others. If you’re looking for a place to really get away, this is it!

Perfect for larger group / family trip.
The layout of this lodge allows everyone to be close for dinners, games while providing great lake views. Each bedroom with bath was also nice, kids camp was a winner for the small kids. The slope walk to water allows a golf cart to take our older mom and handicap kids down with little effort. Long and short is hated to leave and can't wait to return.

We rented the lakeside lodge for the first time this year and all I can say is this place fit every need we had for 11 people, very well equipped home had everything we needed in the kitchen, two of everything made it so nice to cook for a large group, the area was great the house was clean and beds were very comfortable everyone says they slept like a baby,. We loved the way they thought of everything had a whole closet full of games and toys a neat hideout for kids, the owners Steve and Kathy Ray are amazing and got back to us right away with any questions.. we already booked for next year in this gorgeous home.. the dock was awesome lots of room for our jet skis and tritoon boat…. Best house we have been in on Norris, we have been coming over 10 years and this was the best so far .. highly recommend if you need a home for a large party, and every bedroom was a master with king beds and private bath plus a bunk room .. can’t add enough stars to this home

Perfect for family vacations!
Lakeside Lodge was the perfect location for my water-loving family to relax, unwind, and have fun in the sun. The rooms were clean and spacious, the kitchen was well equipped, and the game room had a large variety of activities to fit a variety of ages. We loved having 2 refrigerators and dishwashers. Our grandson had a blast staying in the Kids Camp. The walk down to the water was steep, but that’s to be expected for Lake Norris and we much preferred the sidewalks to the multiple flights of stairs present at other properties on the lake. We rented a boat and appreciated the nearby marinas, the jumping bridge, plus the multitude of little coves to explore. The hosts, Steve and Kathy, communicated well before our stay and called to make sure everything was okay during our stay. I would definitely recommend staying at the Lakeside Lodge.

Wonderful Experience
Steve and Kathy’s home was exactly what my group was looking for! Plenty of space for our group of eleven. The kitchen had absolutely everything necessary to fix any meal during your stay. The view from the deck was incredible. To get to the water and the private boat dock was not steep compared to other homes on the lake. The location of their home is perfect to get to the famous jumping bridge, as well as gas for your boat at Sugar Hollow Marina. Both of these were within a five minute ride from the dock. Kathy even called the house phone during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed, which I found very considerate. When I got home from our trip, I immediately talked to my wife and we plan on coming back to the lodge next year and bring the kids! I had such a great time at their beautiful home. Thank you Steve and Kathy! -Ben

We love Norris Lake and the Lakeside Lodge met our expectations!!! The house had plenty of space to spread out. The covered deck was amazing, the game room served us well with a ping pong tournament and the dock was amazing and spacious for the fishing, swimming and relaxing that we had. The crew caught many fish of all kinds including multiple catfish, bass, and panfish. The swing on the dock allowed some peaceful moments down by the water. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and will likely be back again!

Extremely pleased customer.
The Lodge was absolutely perfect for our family of 13. We had 7 adults, one 8 year old, two 5 year olds, two 2 year olds, and one infant. The Kids Kamp was a huge hit for all our grandkids. Adults had absolutely everything we needed for the house and the lake. Dining table for 16 was huge. Two large outside decks had wonderful views of the lake. Main deck had tables and seating for 18 and comfortable lounge patio seating for 5. Lower deck had a comfortable, huge hammock and a very nice chair and foot support hung from deck above. Kitchen was very well stocked with two refrigerators, two double sinks, large center island, and everything imaginative for the entire kitchen. Hose decoration was very interesting, from the Elk over the fireplace, the large bear in the corner of the living room, animal skins on the wall, to even a small wooden bear carving on a nice light stand. House was clean throughout. Wife says this house was perfect and was overall the best place our family has stayed EVER. Very pleased wife. Only issue we had (and it was extremely small) was the island sink faucet had a small, slow drip near the handle. We simply left a folded paper towel under the handle for the owner to fix in the future. We hope to return for future family vacations.

Plenty to do!
This property is by far our favorite we have stayed at since we started doing this large group Norris trip. The kitchen is massive and stocked with anything you would need, the decks themselves gorgeous even if they didn’t have an incredible view of the lake. The walk to the lake wasn’t hateful despite the slope, it was well lit, and my girls favorite spot to lay out a night and watch the stars. The fire pit area was nice with plenty of space. The whole family loved playing pong and air hockey together. Our kids were so well entertained with the closet of games and toys that getting them down to the lake was a battle. Even with being on a more open part of the lake, the waves at the dock were minimal, and floating and relaxing in the clear water was so enjoyable. This property is very kid and family friendly. Very neatly decorated with a cabin feel. We ended up being down a boat yet still felt we had a great trip because of the space. The community was also very neat, lots of deer and a great winery close by.

Lakeside Lodge Family Funweek
We spent a week at the Lakeside Lodge and it was perfect for our very large extended family (mom and dad, their three kids, spouses, and 9 grandchildren). We did a massive grocery shop on the way in and never left the property again— you won’t want to! Everyone had their own king sized bedroom, and the kids loved the bunk room downstairs. There were games and puzzles galore, but we spent the majority of our time swimming off the dock and cruising around Lake Norris on a pontoon boat (delivered to the dock by Oasis Water Sports). The kitchen is massive which allowed for some epic family meals. And the porch has a beautiful view complete with hummingbird feeders. Don’t be like us and overpack. All you need is a swim suit, towel, pair of pajamas, and flip flops. Be sure to visit the Sugar Hollow marina for taco Thursdays and live music, and don’t chicken out at the jumping bridge!

This house and the property is beautiful. The listing is exactly as it states.
My family had plenty of room to spread out…all adults slept in their own master suite. The kids loved the downstairs sleeping arrangement and all the games the owners have in the closet. They were super excited to find 2 gaming systems but stayed so busy with us playing outdoors, they never played them and had very little phone time. That was a huge win for everyone. The kitchen has two of everything (sinks, refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, ovens, and dishwashers, even two sets of washer and dryers in the basement). Enough seating inside and outside for an army. We took our boat out fishing and tubing and brought it back to the private covered dock. Swimming off the dock was nice because the cove they are in is safe and away from the main boating part of the lake. S’mores over the fire at night was also the best dessert and family time to end our evenings. If you want to visit Norris Lake and relax with friends and family, this is the house you want to do that in. Perfect all around.

Impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, designed in such a way that there was privacy when desired but also an open design for family gathering in kitchen (incredibly well appointed), living room and lower level game room. And the views!! Access to the lake was also perfect! This may be our favorite vrbo EVER!
