Tennessee Tranquility
We had a wonderful stay with family (4 adults and 6 teenagers). The house is exactly as described and pictured. A great place to unplug, unwind and explore by boat. Love that the property is on a quiet cove. The dock is wonderful. We rented a boat so it was perfect. The screened in porch was a perfect place for morning coffee. Definitely recommend.

A Hard Day’s Night - Lakefront with private dock
My husband and I came to stay for our anniversary trip. We absolutely loved A Hard Day’s Night. It was so peaceful and relaxing. It rained all weekend so we didn’t get to enjoy the firepit or the dock. But we had an amazing time relaxing inside. We will definitely book again if we’re in the area.

Great place and communication was easy and timely. great place and supper clean, even being fur friend friendly!

Enjoy a Cozy Cabin With Great Smoky Mountain Views
My partner and I stayed here for 2 weeks with our 2 cats. Katlyn's place is incredible. The view is as described, but what stood out just as much as the view was the attention that Katlyn and her helpers clearly put into every detail. Every item that we possibly could have thought of was already there in case we needed it. The WiFi is strong enough for seamless video calls and online gaming. The location is very peaceful, although do note that it's about an hour's drive to the hotspots of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg (we saw this as a plus - it was peaceful every day but we could day trip over there if we wanted). The place is also on a steep gravel road. We had no trouble in a Subaru and a Tesla, but if you have a little car with small ground clearance and no AWD it could be sketchy. Overall, absolutely wonderful stay and we'd definitely book again if we come back to the area.

Tiny Big Town
My husband and I took a mini vacation and decided to stay at this cabin. Upon arrival, we were super impressed by how clean and organized everything was! In addition, Betsey was an amazing host, always willing to answer questions in a timely manner. We would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a private getaway :)

Lakein’ It Easy With Private Dock
Such a cozy stay on Norris Lake. This cabin had nice extra touches to make us feel right at home, including s’mores supplies for our kids to have around the campfire! Highly recommend.

Jace’s Place-Best Jacuzzi View in the Smokies
The views are SPECTACULAR! Awesome sunrises and sunsets, hands down the best view of all of our cabin stays in the Smoky Mtns. The place is easy to find, narrow winding road but not treacherous. Definitely make sure you have a full tank of gas especially if you’re planning to head elsewhere like down to the Fontana Dam area because gas stations are few and far between. Pillows were pretty flat, but luckily we had our own in the car. The place is simple, but everything felt very cozy clean and comfortable. The owners have made updates to the place where it really counts like a new porch and flooring. Jacuzzi was a wonderful place to unwind! Very peaceful and super quiet, despite having neighbors nearby. Well worth it - we stayed just one night before heading further east & was the perfect way to kick off our mountain vacation!

Cozy Cabin w/ Private Fishing Dock & Hot Tub
Everything was exactly as we imagined on this beautiful stay, we felt taken care of and the hosts were ready to answer any questions we had at any time.

MarshMellow on Norris @ Whitman Hollow Marina
We had a great stay perfect size and we didn’t have any issues finding it everything was clean and in a great location. What really sold us was the covered dock slip it was easy to get in and out. Would definitely stay again.

Guest house in the country with a beautiful view
I call this "my Cozy cottage", it is so peaceful and relaxing to stay here. The hostess is wonderful, very responsive and has all the little details covered. Feels like stepping into a magazine photo! Love, love, love it!!

Lakefront Cottage with Private Dock on Norris Lake
Wonderful stay at a beautiful place. We enjoyed the deck and the lake! Recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat.

Park Place Retreat with a view of Norris Lake
Stacie’s place was just as described! Impeccable home with nice touches from coffee to toothbrushes available for guests. Just down the road is the Andersonville County park.

The cove at Norris Lake
Lorrie was great to work with! Very responsive and helpful. We also rented her boat which made our stay even more fun!

Incredible Views | Heated Pool | Gourmet Kitchen
The Barn was nothing short of amazing! The views were beautiful! The home had everything listed, and was spotless in terms of cleanliness. The amenities are awesome, from the pool, to the games upstairs on the second level! I love that the home was family oriented, with several safety features to keep families with small children safe. The pool room has a code, as well as a pool alarm to alert you if someone is in the pool. Matt, and his team were great; he extended the opportunity to stay an additional night, was very friendly, and responded quickly. I look forward to booking with Matt again in the future!

Knoxville Little House
What a gem of an AirBNB! The perfect size for a couple. This was our last stop on an out west road trip (18 day total) and it was exactly what we needed. It was perfectly clean and had anything that we could possibly need. The grounds are peaceful and quiet. The perfect place to relax and decompress before hopping back on the road!

Luxury Lakefront Home with Pavilion and Loft
Can’t explain how great Shelly was and how perfect the house was for us! Shelly goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect and is the biggest help! We had an amazing time and I’m sure we will be back sometime! 😊

No Wake Lake House in Clearwater Cove w/ Dock
We loved staying at this place for our family lake trip this summer. The access to the ramp to put our boat in the water was so easy and having our own private covered boat dock at the house was great. The walk to the dock was very easy with minimal stairs. Having keys instead of just using the keypad was a little difficult at times with hands full with kids and boat stuff, but it was fairly easy unlocking and locking up each day. Overall, we would love to stay here again and appreciate the space and everything it had to offer!

Relax & Recharge-Lakefront Dock, Sauna & Swim Spa
Adriana was very responsive and helpful. The home was very clean. Loved the no touch hand soap in all the bathrooms. S’mores forks and lighter was a welcome surprise. The local Goat was one of her restaurant recommendations. It was awesome! Very nice pots and pans in the kitchen. The driveway and the walk down to the lake are both very steep. You can drive around instead but beware the cardinals are infatuated with the windows and mirrors. We had to find a car wash after their visit!

Modern Lux Lakefront - 6Bed/6Bath - Dock w/slide
We’ve stayed at a lot of Airbnbs over the years, and this is far and away the best we’ve ever experienced. It has the feel and finishes of a luxury hotel, but with the space for four families to spread out, each with their own wing. The kitchen is fully stocked — not just the basics, but everything you could need (and then some), all in high-quality cookware and tools, not the typical cheap stuff you find in most rentals. We loved having double dishwashers, washers/dryers, and three refrigerators. There are fireplaces everywhere (we used them all!), but our favorite spot was the back deck with the fireplace and TV (cuddled up with one of many may cozy blankets cheering for our Columbus Crew). PLUS, the double-decker dock? Incredible! We all took turns on the slide and got so many slow-motion videos of our boys jumping off the upper deck-endless fun and memories. Suffice it to say: we had an amazing time. The photos truly don’t do this place justice. I give it all the stars!

Serene Lakefront Getaway,Hot Tub,Game Room, Dock
From helping me add to our reservation, to working with flexibility on who was coming, Clinton provided awesome service! He responded promptly, was warm and welcoming, has a wonderful home, well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds, so many amenities, breath-taking views, so much space, indoor and outdoor activities or places to just be and read or talk. . . Thoughtful attention to detail. And perfect in any season!!Getting to the store or places to eat is easy and convenient, yet you're in a lake paradise. Husband loved running at the free state park across the main road (less than 20 minute drive). We can't wait for our next trip so we can enjoy the house and go hiking! Cannot recommend Clinton and his home enough! Go stay! You will leave refreshed like we did. Adult kids said 'just what we needed!' Can't wait to return!!

Norris Lake Escape! Sooooo There!
Always look forward to staying at her place!

Serenity Cove 3 Bedroom Home on Secluded Cove
We have stayed at this location multiple times and absolutely will return in the future. The host is amazing!

Lake House w/Amazing views of the Smoky Mountains
Andrew was very responsive and was a great host for our first time using AirBNB. He stated in the listing that the house was older and being worked on, so we didn't drop the rating for some of the imperfections. It was a gorgeous location and very close to downtown. The only thing we wish was better was access to the water. We brought kayaks expecting to be able to put them in at a neighborhood boat ramp but the closest place we found was miles away at the local dam. Overall, we were very pleased with Andrew and his home and wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Big Creek Lake Shack Norris Lake Sleeps 16 *HOT TU
We enjoyed our stay very much! The cabin is beautiful and is a perfect location!
Your guide to Norris Lake
All About Norris Lake
At the foot of the Cumberland Mountains, with the vibrant town of Knoxville to the south and the Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area to the north, Norris Lake is one of the more popular recreational destinations in Tennessee. The lake’s 800 miles of coastline are studded with several state parks, small communities, bars and restaurants, and more than 20 marinas with boat rentals available. Rent a boat from one of the local outfitters, and you can explore various coves and bays by motorboat, kayak, or canoe. After a busy afternoon on Norris Lake, you can enjoy a meal from one of the floating or waterfront restaurants, many of which offer boat parking and live music.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Norris Lake
The northwestern regions of Tennessee have a varied and temperate climate, with distinct seasons and moderate changes in weather throughout the year. Summers on the lake are hot and humid, with occasional rainfall and long sunny days that are excellent for getting in and on the lake. If you’re traveling during this time, you may want to check out the Fire on the Water Fourth of July Festival, a fireworks display on the lake’s western shores.
The shoulder seasons are great times to visit as the crisp temperatures make for excellent hiking weather through the adjacent Big Ridge State Park and Chuck Swan Wildlife Management Area. The fall is the most visually stunning time of year, with autumn hues of orange and red decorating the rolling landscape surrounding the lake. The winters can get quite cold — though they rarely reach freezing temperatures — with roughly the same overall levels of precipitation found in the summer.
Top things to do in Norris Lake
Museum of Appalachia
The Museum of Appalachia is a 65-acre recreation of a pioneer-era village and one of the area’s most expansive and detailed historical sites. You’ll find dozens of historically accurate structures here such as barns, schools, and cabins — along with hundreds of thousands of artifacts, including instruments, textiles, and art — from pioneer settlements and regional Indigenous tribes.
Big Ridge State Park
More than a dozen miles of hiking trails wind among dense hickory forests, along meandering streams, and through lush valleys in this state park along the southern shores of Norris Lake. You can cool off from a long hike by swimming at the beaches here, or make use of the many public sporting courts and facilities.
Paddling on the Lake
Motorized watercraft are the most popular kind of boat on Norris Lake, but exploring the coasts with a kayak or paddleboard provides a unique way to experience the area. Hundreds of coves and inlets around the lake — most only accessible by water — house dramatic rock formations, waterfalls, and secluded beaches. Paddling your way around the sights allows you to access several inlets too small for larger motorboats to enter, creating a truly intimate and tranquil experience on the lake.
