Come Enjoy Fall at Norris Lake! Firepit. HotTub. Beautiful views! Quiet Cove.

Bring on the ‘Wow’ factor with this owner built, new in 2018 8BR/8BA home in popular Lakeside Estates! Laid Back Lodge offers everything you could want in a lake house with three levels of living space both inside and out, numerous amenities and a modern rustic décor. The breathtaking views of the mountains, trees and peaceful water of Norris Lake will send you in vacay mode immediately! This home rents Saturday to Saturday during peak summer season (early-June to mid-August). Laid Back Lodge was built with attention to detail for vacationers like you in mind. There is plenty of available parking right at the house and FREE fast Xfinity internet (200mps) and long distance telephone.

This 3-story lake house features spacious living areas on each level with a stained wood vaulted ceiling, a fireplace and expansive windows to greet you as you walk into the main level in this open concept floor plan. The fully equipped kitchen has marble countertops with plenty of seating available to enjoy your company at two oversized dining tables as well as at the large kitchen island/bar. Two full size refrigerators, two dishwashers, cooktop stove/oven, built-in oven and microwave will suit a chef of any kind. Step out to the elevated deck from the kitchen/dining area and take in the views while drinking your morning coffee! The large covered deck includes a gas grill and tables & chairs for outdoor dining enjoyment. There are two bedrooms (each with a King bed) and two bathrooms also on the main level.

The middle level has a large family room area with 2 couches and a flat screen TV. There are four bedrooms - two King bed suites and two with Queen beds along with Full/Full bunks. Each bedroom has its own full private bathroom. There is also a laundry room on this floor with a washer & 2 dryers. Walk out to the middle level lounge deck and chill on the outdoor sectional, swivel chairs or in the hammock!

The lower level is the ultimate game room complete with a large flat screen TV, sofa, pub table/chairs, air hockey table and ping pong table! This level has 2 bedrooms, one with a Queen bed and Twin/Twin bunks and the other is a bunk room with a Twin/Twin bunk and a Twin/Full bunk. There are also two full size bathrooms on the lower level attached to each of the bedrooms. From this level you can walk out to the lower level deck and relax in the hot tub after a long day or play a fun game of carpetball (rules are posted on the table). A short set of stairs off the lower deck leads you to the firepit and corn hole area for more family fun and entertainment! Here you can access the concrete path that takes you to the private double decker dock. The dock is marked with a sign, 'Laid Back Lodge' on both the front and the back to make it easy to locate. It's a super short walk to the dock from the house (about one-tenth of a mile) - but the terrain is hilly due to the fact that we are nestled in the Cumberland Mountain range, so we provide a COMPLIMENTARY GOLF CART for your use! *Note that the golf cart may only be available seasonally (April - November).

The 2-story double decker dock features a large picnic-style table on the upper level so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while right on the water. And you don’t want to miss out on the fun slide for kids (and adults) of all ages!! The dock has one covered slip and 2 other areas with cleats to tie up your watercraft. No watercraft? No problem! There are several places on the lake that rent boats and/or jet skis. And for the non-motorized water enthusiasts, there are 2 kayaks for your enjoyment!
The dock sits on Year Round Deep Water. This means you can utilize the dock throughout the entire boating and swimming season.
PLEASE NOTE: Later in the Fall and through the Winter into early Spring, the lake level will drop (controlled by the TVA), possibly making the dock inaccessible from the stairs off the bank.


Lakeside Estates is a gated community with private boat ramp, community pool, basketball court and walking trails. A quiet cove surrounds the neighborhood which is located near the famous Cedar Creek Jumping Bridge and Sugar Hollow Marina. Sugar Hollow Marina is a full-service marina with a restaurant, live entertainment during certain times of the year, fuel and ice. Vacationing on Norris Lake will be one of the most fun and memorable times you could ever share with your friends and family. Whether you are boating, fishing or spending the day swimming or just lounging, you will enjoy the calm clean waters of the lake and its surroundings. Staying in Lakeside Estates feels like a true getaway, yet you are only 10-15 minutes from grocery, restaurants and shopping. Taking a break from the lake or visiting in the off season? Enjoy the nearby ATV park, golfing at one of the local golf courses, Cumberland Gap National Park or a quick day trip for some shopping or to see a show in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

Need even more space? Laid Back Lodge sits next to Laid Back Living, a 6BR/5BA home and Seas the Day, a 9BR/9BA home. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
During your stay at this vacation home, you'll be close to Sugar Hollow Marina. Enjoy features like a spa tub and an arcade/game room. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the vacation home.

Great place to stay!
Our family vacation included a wide age range of people and everyone had a great time here! Only problems were one squeaky, uncomfortable bed out of the 8 bedrooms. Also, you have to make your own beds upon arrival. Otherwise, plenty of space! 2 refrigerators and dishwashers. The golf cart was a life saver getting to the dock and back. Everything was clean and the property manager/ owners were very responsive! We want to stay there again!

Overall very clean and nice property!! Was below expectations on extra needs. Like dishwasher soap and dish soap. We were told ahead of time there would be only 1 roll of toilet paper and a couple trash bags, but feel for the price these amenities would be better provided. The golf cart was awesome to go back and forth to the dock and hang in the sun! We’d stay here again.

Lots of space/great for games and hanging! Not really lakeside...
For a trip when it is too cold to swim, the house is perfect! Lots of deck space, plenty of family/living room options & enough beds for 3x the number of people we had with us! We could not access the dock due to water levels (host warned us about this) but the dock was also VERY far down from the house -- walking was very steep and very long & the golf cart was not in great shape so we did not spend time down by the water at all. If you are looking for a great hangout house with a huge kitchen & tons of beds/baths, this is a solid choice! If you are wanting a lakeside retreat with easy access to water/dock, I would probably suggest a house with easier access. We would return -- just not during summer/swimming season due to difficulty of accessing the water even if the levels were high enough. The dock is probably a half mile away downhill so this house sits above 2-3 other houses that are situated between it and the water.

Good experience
We liked the house. There could be some things that need to change but overall good stay. Clean house and very roomy. There is no extra toilet paper, paper towels, cooking spices, cooking oils, or anything you might need so be prepared. Some of the bathrooms didn't even have full rolls of toilet paper. We had to make our own beds which isn't a huge deal but still when you pay money you expect at least the beds will be made even when they tell you ahead of time. The dock is a pretty good distance away so be prepared to walk. Overall would we stay here again? Yes we would.

Great House
Awesome house, very clean. Tried to call property manager 2 times with no answer and no call back. Cell service at the house was very spotty so maybe the calls didnt go through? The dock and water were perfect. The hill to the water was very dauting and having 15 people made it a challenege to go to the water for the day as well as coming back up the hill when we were done. Overall this was a great house and would recommend.

Great stay! Tips for future guests in this review.
If you’re traveling with babies/young kids….bring a baby gate! There were box fans in every room…thank you! 2 of the king bedrooms are on the main living floor with the kitchen, dining & living (lots of noise). One bedroom is a shared bath with the house. 4 bedrooms on the 2nd floor and 1 queen and 1 bunk room in the bottom level with the game room. Mentioning because this was helpful to us as we planned which kids were in which bedrooms. Lots of stairs! & the trip down to the lake was steep and a little more than we expected but the golf cart helped. Great workout and pretty nature views. Recommend bringing kids life jackets and lots of floats/rafts for the lake at the dock. I didn’t see the house rules before shopping…and listing doesn’t mention…but you’ll need to bring your own TP, paper towels, trash bags & dishwasher pods. Great house! Nothing bad to say at all…just tips for future guests that would have helped us. It was clean, updated, & spacious! Accurate to what we booked. Wish we were a little closer to the water and with a lake view but this worked great for our group/budget.

Great Stay at Norris
When we come back to Norris Lake, we will definitely consider staying here again. Size of the house was perfect for our 20+ gang of friends and family- enough space to spread out and read / work by yourself or spend time around large kitchen table playing board games. Two refrigerators + one in the basement were perfect, cleanliness was super, golf cart was fantastic to get coolers back-and-forth to the lake. Deep water cove and very clean lake. Just a great overall vacation home that provided our group with a great vacation!

Norris lake family vacation
We had 12 adults and 10 children (5-14) and there was plenty of room and lots of entertainment available. Kitchen is large and has plenty of room for several cooks. It is further down to the lake than anticipated but the dock is very nice. The kids loved the slide. We had paddle boards and the unit supplied kayaks. We rented a ski boat and tube. All 10 kids tubed and six learned to ski. Even some "older" adults took a turn on the skis. since not everyone could be on the boat we took videos and showed them in the evening on the big screen TV for everyone to enjoy. The decks are sunny in the morning and shaded in the afternoon which is very pleasant. Everyone enjoyed smores by the fire pit one evening. The lake is beautiful and very large. In the words of a famous general "We shall return"!
