About this property

Lakeside Lodge- Dock, Hot Tub, Fire Pit+ 8 Kayaks

Our modern rustic lakefront cabin sleeps 20+ with just 41 easy steps to the dock from the lower deck with covered slip and jet ski ports. Completely renovated and constantly updated with new attractions by the owners, you're invited to come enjoy our personal lake home at Norris Lake under 23-ft knotty pine cathedral ceilings with views of the lake and mountains from 3 levels of full width decks!

High-end furnishings and cozy décor welcome you to this 6- bedroom Lodge in the no-wake cove of Flat Hollow Marina. Relax and play outside on the covered dock with picnic table, swim platform, 2 jet ski ports and a covered 21' deep slip, easily seen from every deck of the cabin. Only the tough decisions await each day - will you hike the shoreline, hit the lake, stroll down to the marina, or take out the 8 free kayaks to find the rope swing and explore the cove?!

Lakeside Lodge has 3.5 levels - beginning with the main floor great room, kitchen and master bedroom with king bed and adjoining bath. The upper landing Lodge room has a queen and two twin bunks, and shares a Jack and Jill bath with the Yellow room with queen sized bed. The Crows nest has a twin bed, while the LL Explorer Room has a full sized bottom bunk beneath a twin - sleeps 3, and the Nautical Room functions as a second master with queen bed and adjoining bath. The3 roll-out beds with linens in the guest closets will sleep #18-22. All bedrooms have tasteful themed decor, comfy Serta mattresses, hotel-grade linens and ceiling fans. Extra down comforters for winter are in each closet, along with a couple space heaters, and extra fans are available in the LL guest supply closet.

We're "All Decked Out" for your group or family: 30' wide decks including the upper Sun Deck with a large gas grill, 2 tables with seating for 12 or more under two large umbrellas with solar lights; a middle level covered Deck with a large table that seats 6, along with a bench and a loveseat; plus the lower 30 x 17 Gathering Deck's 6 person hot tub with blue-tooth stereo, granite gas fire table and plenty of comfortable seating for12 or more!

All decks and stairs have downcast accent lighting that makes evening time cozy and safe, and deck boxes on each level have stored cushions for all seats. At the gravel landing near the lake, the kayaks are stored on a rack with paddles and life jackets (kids and adults sizes) available for our guests, cornhole boards and bags, and a fire pit with enough campfire chairs for everyone in the outdoor storage. There's also a front porch deck with seating for three that stretches the width of the house, and has a side-wrapped stairway leading off to the middle and lower level decks, as well as the lake.

Inside, you'll find everything to make your stay feel like home - really, just like ours back in Cincy: a fully equipped kitchen with counter bar and 3 pull up stools; a rustic 9-ft wood and wrought iron dining table (seats 10). The 16' couches and loves seats in the Main Room with gas log fireplace (seasonally on fall - spring) and 54" Smart HD TV makes this a favorite gathering place. In the lower level rec / family room, you'll find overstuffed furniture, a high-top table ready for board or card games, and a free unlimited-play18-game arcade console, TV with DVD player, as well as a selection of books and movies.

Other amenities include a high capacity ice machine (50 gallons a day), 2 full sized refrigerators, tankless hot water heater for endless hot water, newer dual zoned HVAC new, USB inputs in every bedroom for charging devices; a charging station (including Apple watch charger) in the Main Room; satellite/cable; unlimited Starlink high speed Wi-Fi, washer & dryer, Keurig machine, traditional coffee maker and filters, pantry, loads of parking, iron, ironing board, hair dryers, and even a a Guest First Aid Kit and Care Kit - in case you forgot to pack something important!

Great view
The place had a great view and sitting inside worked great for our group. We wish the kitchen was a little bigger. Also one of the downstairs room did not have the extra bed in it.

Great house/ Lots to do!
We had a great renting experience. The property owner was always quick to answer any questions we had and I felt like there were so many things to do at the house. There was a great, clean hot tub, the gaming system downstairs, board games, and even some outside games like corn hole. We had a great time and couldn’t have asked for better!

Great Property with Awesome Kayaks
This property worked excellently for a family reunion/vacation. The number of rooms and bathrooms were great and all in clean shape. The kitchen is well stocked which made cooking for a large group easier. We absolutely loved the kayaks! The lake is wonderful and so relaxing. Many of us enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck with peaceful views.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Sturm, owner and rental agent

Host profile image
Tom Sturm is the broker/owner of Tennessee Home Finders (in LaFollette, TN) which sells real estate and manages rental properties just like this one! The Sturms love our busy lives in Cincinnati, Ohio where Tom leads a team with Coldwell Banker's Tom Sturm Group, and we're always looking for ways to help someone at church, work, and in the communities where we live and do business.

Nearly 20 years ago before the recession hit, a builder friend offered their cabin on the Lake to our family as a way to reduce stress and re-connect, and we gratefully accepted. As we traveled south on I-75, the Cumberland Mountains filled the windshield vista, and the closer we got to the Jacksboro/La Follette exit, we found our souls at peace and our minds unwinding. By the time we'd driven through winding mountain roads dappled with sunshine and breath-taking views and arrived at their "little cabin"... a beautiful 5-bedroom lakefront home, full of charm, near Flat Hollow marina - needless to say, we'd fallen in love with Norris Lake, the area, and its people.

Since then, we opened the real estate company Tennessee Home Finders LLC, and look forward to making as many trips to Tennessee for both business and pleasure with family and friends as often as we can get away. Yet no matter how many times we make that drive, Norris Lake and the Cumberland Mountains still hold the magic that originally captured our hearts with wonder and filled our spirits with peace.

Tom and Judy built - then sold - a lakehouse in Flat Hollow over a decade ago, but ironically, this "diamond in the rough" became available right next door to the one they used to own. After many months of planning, remodeling, renovations and Judy's design skill dreams, "Lakeside Lodge" is "All Decked Out" and ready for you - our family, friends and guests.

We hope you'll enjoy the same peace, experience the same wonder, and unwind and make memories like we did. Welcome!

Why they chose this property

Hailing from Cincy, we've packed everything under this roof and on this lakefront lot to make it your best one-place stop for a dream getaway. Everyone should experience the natural beauty, unlimited fun and guaranteed relaxation of a Norris Lake vacation. Lakeside Lodge has been designed to be a 24/7, year-round attraction with daytime fun at the dock and on the decks, cornhole, fishing, and watercraft rental options … and a fire pit, fire table, fireplace, hot tub, pro-grade lighting package and indoor entertainment for night-time enjoyment.

Even a rainy day can find you playing PacMan or any of the 18 games on the video console, enjoying a book or movie on any of the 4 televisions, all with Direct TV and Smart TV streaming connections, or make the drive and get to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood in under 2 hours. Deerfield Resort's 18 hole golf course is about a 30 minute drive, and there are local tennis courts and an open-to-the-public nine hole country club course in LaFollette as well.

For fun on the water, you're just a quarter mile from the marina, but tucked back in the no-wake cove just beyond the floating houses - close to everything, but safe and fun for all ages. With some of the best parking in the area, as well as marina-provided trailer parking, bring your watercraft or rent ours! Fishing guides are available for the sportsman (recommended to book in advance), and water toys are available for rent for the lake lovers. Norris Lake's 800 miles of pristine wooded shoreline and 35,000 surface acres of crystal clear water will take your breath away.

It's our personal memory - maker, and there's no greater compliment than "We didn't miss a thing, it couldn't have been better." Our goal is to share with you and your family the every-time-we-come experience of relaxing down time, joyful discoveries, wear-yourself-out time on the water, and deepening friendships that just happen when you hang out together at a place with no worries.

What makes this property unique

Over the years, our family has rented many homes in many areas of Norris Lake, but we intentionally returned to the Flat Hollow area. We found that the friendliness of the property owners, renters and the new Marina owners, Chris and Jamie, made us feel right at home. We especially like this quiet cove in a NO WAKE zone so our kids can jump off the dock without fear, and we prefer the sounds of nature and laughter day and night instead of roaring speed boats and loud stereos.

We also enjoy the convenience of Flat Hollow Marina's full service restaurant, gas station, bait shop and marine store - so relaxing to just order ahead and drive down to pick up carry out, or eat out when the ladies need a break and the guys aren't grilling, or just walking down for ice cream, listening to the bands or enjoying karaoke and seasonal entertainment on the weekends.

But our absolute favorite things are... sitting on the deck every morning with a cup of coffee, listening to loons and crows call as the mist rises from the Lake... hanging out with friends on the deck or dock after a great day on the Lake and a delicious dinner from the grill. Later you'll find yourself hanging out by the fire, or stargazing from the upper deck and being awestruck as shooting stars streak against the velvet black, Tennessee sky.

Most of the community across the lake from us in Overlook Bay is still undeveloped, and there's nothing like catching a glimpse of the bald eagles or bluebirds which nest there, or listening to the splash of jumping fish on a peaceful morning.

Let us know how we can make your special event, big celebration, or family or group vacation extra special - we and our staff are happy to accommodate any way we can. Come on down and stay a while - and tell us your favorite thing to experience at Lakeside Lodge!
