Cozy Comfort on Norris Lake - Tritoon/JetSki rental available - dock for free!

NOTE: ***Please read info at regarding lake levels and dock access if staying in the Fall/Winter between mid-Sept and mid-April. Also, boat/PWC rental prices below.
UPDATED Aug 29, 2024.

If interested in boat or ski, please let us know ASAP as we rent them standalone at times.

Enjoy the clean waters of Norris Lake, a premier lake of the Southeast, with this cozy 2nd floor studio suite in a residential area. Our above garage suite sits less than 250 ft from our private dock in Fisherman's Cove on a gentle slope. Unless you are in a very low car, you can drive down to the dock. A Stand up Paddleboard, kayaks, and large water mat are provided for your use free of charge and a tritoon boat and jet ski can be rented for an additional fee. * Additional tritoon/ski info at bottom.

Located 10 minutes from Exit 122 on I-75. There are many marinas on Norris Lake with restaurants, bars, boat/PWC rentals, fuel, and live music nearly every night of the week between Memorial and Labor Days! We are within 10-15 miles by water from most of the popular spots--including Stardust, Sequoyah, Shanghai, Whitman Hollow, Waterside, Norris Dam, Springs, Deerfield, Mountain Lake, Twin Cove, Sugar Hollow and the Jumping Bridge (Cedar Creek). By water, we are located between Sequoyah Marina and Anderson County Park. See marina info, event schedules, and maps here: http://www.norrislakemarinas.org/events/ or Download the events guide for 2023 here: http://www.norrislakemarinas.org/lake-visitor-guide/

The suite will sleep 5 comfortably, but we have an inflatable mattress to accommodate two more. It features all-new bedding and furniture, including one queen bed, one pull-out sleeper sofa (queen), one pull out sleeper chair (single), dresser, chest of drawers, and large LCD TV (with Dish), and gas grill. The kitchenette includes a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster oven, coffee maker, and two-burner hot plate. The bathroom has a walk in shower and vanity. Previous guests should note we have upgraded the HVAC in the suite to a quieter and more powerful unit, as well as new decking

The suite is accessible only by stairs.

We can accommodate parking for two vehicles and a boat trailer if bringing your own, though please let us know in advance if bringing a trailer so we can make space.

We live in the main house year-round, so you may see us in the driveway, yard, or down at the dock, depending on the day, but we won't pester you.

Feel free to contact us before booking with any questions you may have.

You may moor up alongside our private dock if renting or bringing a boat, or use it for your swimming, lounging, or fishing pleasure. We also have two open Jet Ski ports available if you are bringing PWC's, as well as a KayaArm to make launching a kayak a breeze. Our cove is seasonal and our dock is usable at lake level 1012 and over. We typically will be over 1014 from Mid-April through Labor Day. Please see below regarding lake level.

SATURDAYS: We typically do not allow stays to begin or end on a Saturday because we're often away those days. Please feel free to contact us if you'd like to request an exception. There are situations under which we can accommodate and we will respond quickly.

*Tritoon and Jet Ski rental Info: Our Tritoon rental boat is 26 foot Veranda Tritoon with a 200 HP four stroke motor. It will seat 12 adults and travel ~32 mph depending on load, and will pull most towables, wakeboarder or slalom skier. We have plenty of life jackets and a flat-deck style innertube you may use, as well as a knee board. It has AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth/USB connectivity, GPS Chartplotter/fish finder, popup changing room, bimini top, and large overstuffed furniture and sunpad. From May 1 through Labor Day the rent is $340 per day + gas. Any additional days receive a 10% discount. After Labor Day through April, we rent the boat for $275 a day. Just bring it back with a full tank of gas. There is a refundable damage deposit of $250 required. I can add the tritoon as a "fee" due before check-in. If our dock is not available (see below), the boat will be docked at nearby Sequoyah Marina. We also have a "JetSki" (PWC) for rent. It is a four stroke 3 seater that will run ~55mph and pull towables. We rent it only from Mid-April through Mid-Sept for $285 per day plus gas. Any additional days receive a 10% discount. There is a $250 refundable damage deposit. NOTE: Renters must have a valid boaters license or Boaters Safety Course OR complete the free online safety course at https://www.rentalboatsafety.com/ and provide proof of completion no more than 7 days before the rental. Due to insurance requirements and state law, we will be required to obtain a copy of proof of course completions.

***Lake Levels during off season: Our floating dock will no longer be usable when the water level is below 1012 feet above sea-level. Typically, the lake comes up over that in early April and remains there until at least Labor Day. Historic levels back to 2019 can be seen at this link: http://www.norrislake.info/Level.asp . Rain and downstream water demands cause it to fluctuate from year to year. As of Aug 29, 2024, our dock is is no longer in the water as the water's edge has receded beyond it. The lake level is ~1010 and is not expected to rise again to sufficient levels until Spring 2025.

At low winter pool, the lake's edge is ~100 feet from the dock and one can easily walk down to it. Sequoyah Marina and Stardust Marina are each less than 5 minutes away by road and offer overnight mooring along their causeway for ~$15 a night. We continue to rent the tritoon most of the year, but will move it to the neighboring marina (Sequoyah) where you can access it. Sequoyah is about 2 miles away by road. If you have any questions regarding this, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Great location & nice place to stay
The hubby and I decided to take a trip without the family and just needed a small intimate place to sleep & hang while we explored. It’s always I feel a coin toss what you might show up to but even though we thought it might be uncomfortable with the owners on site, it was the total opposite. Derek and Meredith were extremely caring and hospitable. They enhanced our trip with their above & beyond customer service & their local suggestions of things to do just topped off our vacation.

Lakeside lodging
We were interested in a lake weekend at Norris Lake. This property is right on the water, and it also has a dock that you can use. We brought our own kayaks, paddle boards, and JetSki, so that was very convenient. The lodging itself is a unit above a large, three car garage. Very nice inside with everything that you need. It is one big space though, so think about that if you need separate rooms, bedrooms, etc. It is great for a couple. The host is very nice and responsive. Good information and tips for the lake. No problems with anything. If we need more lake time, we would be happy to return!

What a great stay. Derrick is an excellent host. His property is beautiful. I enjoyed sitting on the deck just outside the rental. You could see the cove from there. Derrick was very knowledgeable of the lake which helped me with my fishing. It is also quiet. I will stay there again.

We absolutely love Norris and wanted to head down for Labor Day. Their home came up and I have to say we’ll be back. The Johnson’s are the nicest people and really make you feel welcome. They had a spot for us to put our boat and the wave runner we rented from them was a blast!!! This place was perfect for our family of 5 and located close to everything!! Definitely recommend!!!

I was looking for a place to dock our boat and lay our heads at night ….and Derricks place fit the bill!! He was very informative and very helpful in every way possible. His place was very comfortable, quaint and quiet. We had everything we needed and felt very safe in our environment. We spent a ton of time on our boat and Norris lake did not disappoint. From waterskiing to just lounging in the water , it was fabulous!! Loved it all!!!

Perfect weekend getaway with small family
We found a little gem of a property with Derrick and Meredith’s “mother-in-law” suite by Norris Lake. We love the lake life and on a whim, scheduled a long weekend at the property. We were pleasantly surprised to find a very clean, comfortable property with all the space our family of 4 needed for a few days. The kitchenette was perfect for making easy meals, and the sleeper sofa was perfect for our kids (10 and 7). The bed was comfortable, the internet was great to stream videos (and catch up on work email). But the real prize of the property is the dock—it’s perfect for sunbathing, swimming or fishing. They also have all the water toys you could want: kayaks, a paddle board, a lily pad mat, and water noodles. They also have a spacious tritoon boat for rent as well as jet skis. We rented the boat for a day, and Derrick took the time to walk us through all the boat’s “bells and whistles” so we felt confident taking it out on the water. They have knee boards and tubes for the boat, too! As far as hosts, Derrick was excellent! Very communicative and responsive to my questions. You can’t go wrong with this property if you’re looking for a fun, relaxing weekend at the lake.
