With room for up to 20 guests, this peaceful cabin features a private dock, hot tub, fire pit, and eight kayaks for exploring the calm, no-wake cove. Less than half a mile from Flat Hollow Marina, it’s the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and laid-back lake living. Relax and unwind at Lakeside Lodge, a 6-bedroom, 4-bath lakefront retreat designed for families and groups. With space for up to 20 guests, this spacious home sits in a peaceful, low-traffic no-wake cove where the water stays calm and quiet, perfect for swimming, kayaking, and floating the day away. Less than half a mile from Flat Hollow Marina and about 12 miles from the Tackett Creek ATV trail system, Lakeside Lodge offers the best of both worlds: easy water access and nearby land adventures. Across the cove lies Overlook Bay and more than 10,000 acres of TVA land, and just around the bend is the Chuck Swan Wildlife Preserve, where deer, wild turkey, foxes, and bald eagles are often spotted. Down the stairs is your private dock, complete with a covered boat slip, swim platform with ladder access, and two jet-ski ports. Eight kayaks are available for guests to explore the peaceful cove, and when the day winds down, there’s no better place to be than in the hot tub, around the fire pit, or gathered at the granite fire table on the lower deck. Three full-width decks offer a mix of sun and shade so everyone can relax their way. Inside, the main level features 23-foot ceilings, a cozy gas fireplace, Smart TV, and a kitchen equipped for group meals. You’ll find a full-size refrigerator on the main level, a second refrigerator and high-capacity ice machine on the lower level, and a large dining table for ten with extra seating just outside on the upper deck overlooking the water. Sleeping arrangements are ideal for families and friends: a king suite on the main floor, two queen bedrooms (one with bunk beds) and a full loft upstairs, plus a queen suite and bunk room on the lower level. Three roll-away beds are available for added flexibility. Every bedroom, including the loft, has a Smart TV. The lower-level rec room brings everyone together and offers rainy-day fun with an arcade console, Smart TV, and board games. Guests also enjoy practical comforts like a washer and dryer, dual-zone HVAC, Keurig and drip coffee makers, and free Starlink Wi-Fi (satellite-based, reliable but may be slower at times). Bring your own boat or wave runners, or take advantage of our seasonal tritoon and jet ski rentals, which include life jackets. Tube rentals are also available for an additional fee.

We love the dock, kayaks, sitting by the fire pit and relaxing in the hot tub under the stars! Location to the marina was perfect, although having two refrigerators plus a commercial ice maker meant that we didn’t need to get much of anything (except gas for the boat and jet ski we rented). Our kids loved boating and fishing during the day and at night they enjoyed playing Nintendo and watching the selection of family movies that were offered. We definitely recommend this vacation home and would stay here again and again! ##### Lisa P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew & Belinda W., Winder, GA, USA Dec 24, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Christmas at the Lake Our family of 17 had an awesome, comfortable stay!

Our family enjoyed the home inside and outside, especially the kayaks. Tom was very communicative and responsive when we made reservations, planned our trip, and stayed at his house. The only downside was the steep gravel access. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mabel h., Knoxville, Tennessee USA Aug 26, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best lake cabin we’ve ever stayed in! This home was huge, w 6 bedrooms and 2 gathering places, a large dining table and 4 bathrooms. The kitchen was so well supplied and all the beds were comfortable. There were lots of towels and a washer and dryer. There are 2 decks and a functioning hot tub ( this usually is not the case at places we have stayed). We enjoyed the gas fire pit and there is a wood fire pit too. Being right on the water, we enjoyed swimming in the lake and boating ( they have a boat slip and rent boats and jet ski). The owner communicated w us immediately when we needed information and was kind and generous in every way. We will be back! ##### mabel h.

Jul 26, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### We loved Lake Norris and enjoyed our stay at Lakeside Lodge Lakeside Lodge was very easy to find, along with the recommended grocery stop. There were enough parking spaces right at the house for our 5 vehicles. Our family had 10 adults, and 7 children, including 3 teenagers. The 15 year old loved having his own space in the loft bedroom. We couldn’t have done this smoothly without the 2 refrigerators, ice machine, plenty of provided towels, washer/dryer, large grill and fully stocked kitchen (crockpots for chicken taco night!). The “boat captain” loved the covered boat slip and there is also parking for 2 jet skis. Everyone spent plenty of time at the dock, swimming, fishing and boarding the boat for tubing! There are 3 flights of steps from the water to the house, but are completely doable. I have double hip replacements and used the steps 4-5 times daily! We loved the fire table/hot tub deck with plenty of seating, and the 8 kayaks! We roasted our marshmallows for s’mores at the fire pit. Bonuses were the table top video game, cornhole area, picnic table on the dock, and a crawl space with extra “toys”. ##### nancy e. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ken C. Jul 3, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication Disliked: Location, listing accuracy #### Misleading answer/disappointing stay Our family time at Lakeside Lodge had several disappointing aspects. 1. We visited the property we reserved in early March as we wanted to check it out before our June rental. We saw numerous houseboats and texted Tom to ask about them. He replied that they would be gone by early April. They most definitely were not!! There was a huge blue houseboat directly across from our dock and there were at least 20-25 others between us and the marina. We felt very misled!! It looked like a trailer park on water and NOT attractive at all. We have stayed for the last 3 summers on Lake Lure and we will definitely be back there next year- NOT interested in another stay with so many houseboats!! 2. Our cabin had apparently been painted the day before we arrived as there was a "wet paint" sign on the porch post as we arrived. The deck chairs were all stacked up on the front porch and the middle deck on top of the hot tub which were difficult to get back down. There were 2 big outside trashcans in the lower den, along with an outside bench that took 2 of us to get back outside. Also, the painters must have smoked a LOT because there were dirty ash trays on the bottom deck and the table looked like it had not been washed in months. I took a picture of the nasty paper towels I used to clean them up but can't figure out how to add them here. The deck cushions didn't look like they had been wiped down in months. 3. Dock area had 5 big tree size logs floating around-very unattractive!! ##### Ken C. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sarah S.

The lake was so peaceful during the day and even a beautiful sight at night either by the fire or in the hot tub! Plenty of games for entertainment and easy location to find. ##### Brittany W.

Having direct access to the lake was important to our family and we spent most of our time in and around the water. Since kayaks were included as part of the rental we did not have to bring our own which was a huge plus. They were in constant use as was the boat we rented. The kitchen was a bit small for cooking for a crowd but it was very well stocked with more than the basic tools of most rentals. Having two refrigerators is another plus but the best added feature is the ice maker. We did not have to purchase ice the entire week. The property office staff was very accommodating and and responded to all correspondences/requests in a very quick manor. They were a pleasure . Tom, thank you for welcoming our family and giving us a memorable family vacation. Dorene ##### Dorene A.

Tom was very helpful and responsive to all our needs and questions. The Lodge is a great , well-equipped, home on Norris Lake. We had a great experience at this location. ##### Jerry L.

The stairs may have won, as 4/7 of us fell down them but that’s nothing to do with anything lol. Beautiful view, plenty of room, and the kayaks were a great plus! We had so much fun. Definitely recommend stopping at the store on your way in so you don’t have to go through the crazy turns. Other than that everything was great. ##### Laci D.

The kids had a great time fishing off the dock and playing the video games. I loved the tranquility of the mornings on the deck with coffee. Would highly recommend. ##### Misty W.

The cabin was wonderful and we are hoping to make this trip a yearly one! ##### Kimberly T. ### 6/10 Okay #### Mychael R. Sep 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Okay. This trip was not the best experience. The host wasn’t nicest to me when I was booking because my account was under the age requirement I’m 24, okay, but my fiancé is 26 was going and ONLY wanted to talk to him “man to man.” He really was talking down to me it felt like but he was being nicer to my fiancé so I let it happen bc we already paid for the house. We get to the house and we had to do the check in check list. There were some things that weren’t on the list that were broken So my fiancé called to tell him and it’s like he knew they were broken but wanted us to call him it was odd. The WiFi didn’t work until our LAST night...were in the middle of the mountains so no one had a working device. He told me he sent a welcome email and I never got it. Couldn’t figure out the hot tub until the last night. My friend was walking down the outdoor stairs and it completely broke where he fell and hurt his hand and ankle. My other friend was walking in the dock, hit a soft spot in the wood and fell completely through! The house cleaning was suppose to take out the garage from previous guest and never came back to get it. One bedroom there were dirty used tissues under the bed... there were a lot of issues the entire trip. Oh and the host mentioned twice he was going to stop by while we were staying there(Friday-Monday when he and his family were the next people to stay at the house) like to check up on us in something. It felt very invasive and I’ve never experienced anything like it before. I felt like I was on edge the entire trip making it not so enjoyable. ##### Mychael R.
