Parking:
Parking is plentiful at Hidden Treasure for cars and trailers.
Septic System: Please do NOT flush anything except toilet paper down the toilets. Any other products, facial tissues, paper towels, feminine protection of any type will clog the septic system. A clogged septic system becomes very uncomfortable fairly quickly for everyone in your party.
Trash Removal:
Do NOT Block Trash Cans. All trash must be bagged and placed in your trash cans outside your vacation home and tightly secure the lid. Due to the hungry nature of raccoons and other wild animals, do not allow containers to overflow or leave full trash bags sitting outside the trash containers. Full & tied trash bags will be picked up periodically throughout the week. You must bring your own trash bags.
Insects:
Though all of our vacation homes are sprayed regularly by a professional pest control company, ladybugs, wasps, and other insects sometimes visit the premises. In the event our guests discover a major infestation, notify the guest coordinator.
Hot Tubs:
It is important to note that certain health risks are associated with the use of a hot tub. It is the responsibility of the registered guest to inform anyone using the hot tub during their stay of the potential hazards. Prior to using hot tub, wash off all suntan lotion, clay, mud, gravel etc. from your person. Do not add water or chemicals to hot tub—contact guest coordinator if you feel this is needed. Beware, hot tub covers are for insulation purposes and will not support a person. DO NOT STAND OR SIT ON HOT TUB COVERS, they will break, possible injuring someone, and you will be charged for its replacement. Keep covers closed while not in use. We will make every effort to ensure the hot tub is working properly, however, if it is temporarily out of order, renters are not entitled to a refund. Use Hot Tubs at your own Risk.
Pet Policy--NO Pets are allowed at Rock of Ages.
Pets found in or on the premises without that being part of the contract is reason for immediate eviction and cause forfeiture of the security deposit and the rental fee for the remainder of the trip.
Remove Shoes:
Please remove dirty shoes before entering the home. The “Tennessee clay” is harmful to the floors.

Telephone & Internet Service—Electricity—Satellite TV:
Any interruption of electric or satellite service caused by weather or other reasons unforeseen by NLP, does not constitute grounds for a refund. Please call the Guest Coordinator if problems arise and we will try to respond quickly. Do not disconnect or rearrange any wiring to or from the TV.
Gas Grills:
Gas grills and LP gas are provided for your use. If you run out of gas, please contact the guest coordinator. Please clean off the grill and put the cover down if there is one to keep the grill in good working order, and empty the grease pan after every use to prevent overflow onto the deck.

Report all maintenance problems to the guest coordinator. Do not attempt to fix anything yourself, however, please take reasonable action to secure the problem as not to incur any more unnecessary damage.
Air Conditioning:
We find that setting the thermostat below 70 degrees does not cool the house quicker and tends to freeze up the unit preventing the air conditioning from working at all for a day or two. Therefore, for your comfort, please do not set the thermostat below 70 degrees during your stay.

This place is at a great location on the lake! The house is gorgeous and the dock is phenomenal! The owners are great to deal with! Can’t wait until next year!

Wonderful play to stay.

Rock of Ages had all the room we needed as a big family group! Kitchen fully equipped & plenty of dining table space! We loved the private cove & 2 story dock (wish the path going down to it was lit at night). Only surprise to us was the entrance to the house (sloping driveway was tough to get vehicles up & down due to some gravel on driveway from road, it was slippery). We also didn’t know about the bridge/steps from the driveway to the front door (this was tough on unloading & then loading. Hard on my parents walking that extra distance plus all 3 levels of the house & then all the steps down to the dock/water. Wish there had been a photo of the front of house/bridge from driveway. Other than that we loved our stay (had a rain issue with some water intrusion in a bathroom, owner said someone would come out but no one did during our week there. ) House was big, lots of levels for everyone. Needed help getting tv’s on (maybe they’ll put an instruction sheet out in future.) We all had a great time together!!

Had a great time at this very well appointed house in a beautiful quiet cove! Location was perfect for our kids who love to swim by the dock. Covered dock for our boat with slide and jumping platform was loved by our kids that ranged in age from 6-18. Kitchen was well stocked, better than most places we’ve stayed prior. If it weren’t for a work commitment next year, we’d be back for 2025 Memorial Day weekend. Hopefully will be able to return in 2026!

We had an incredible family reunion at this rental house! The spacious accommodations comfortably housed all six families, providing a perfect blend of privacy and shared spaces with hang out spaces on each floor. The beautiful surroundings and lake views added to the overall charm. The hot tub wasn’t in ideal shape but that didn’t detract from our visit. It was the ideal setting for creating lasting memories with loved ones. Highly recommend for large group gatherings!

We had a wonderful time at Rock of Ages! The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a group of 8 couples. We enjoyed the large dock, especially the upper level! The cove is quiet calm. One day we just hung out by our dock! We loved that every bedroom had at least a full or queen sized bed and enough bathrooms for each couple to have their own. ( most are ensuites). The house is very close to Powell Valley Marina which has been recently updated and made the launching of our boats super easy and convenient! I would make sure that if you have someone in your party that needs to work, that all the guests know to stay off the Wi-Fi during that time as it is very limited. The hosts Jon and Dena were very responsive and helpful with this issue and any other questions we had. We would most definitely consider this one again!
5.0 / 5.0
This is our third year at Norris Lake and Rock of Ages, in our opinion, is the best location. The cove is beautiful with lots of privacy and very little boat traffic. There's a large dock with a huge upper deck. Getting to the dock from the house is a little tough once you're down the main stairs, the other set of stairs are very narrow and the gravel was difficult for some. The kitchen is well stocked (knives could use sharpening). The house was clean. We can't wait to come back!

Home infested with bats!
We checked into Rock of Ages as scheduled on a Saturday afternoon. By that evening at about 8, several bats had been spotted in the house and let outside. By the time we found the 12th bat inside, we realized the bats were inside the walls and ceiling. We could hear them scratching the walls. We could hear them in the bathroom vents. None of us slept that night. I was terrified the bats had an entry point in our bedroom or bathroom. Luckily they didn’t so we only had to deal with the tiny claw sounds about a foot behind our heads inside the wall. It was loud. And we are talking hundreds of bats. Several were also found dead around and inside the property the next day. Infestations happen and are often unavoidable. However, our qualm is with the extensive nature of the infestation. We do not think it is possible for a reasonable property owner or manager to be unaware of the infestation. At the very least house keeping would have notified them of dead bats or bat waste. Based on a few holes cut in the walls, it looks like the problem had been investigated already. To give you and idea of the terror, a bat popped out of a couch my son was laying on. A bat popped out from under the air hockey table. And instead of giving us a heads up, we checked in and then were without inhabitable lodging during a holiday week. This was a family reunion that was 2 years in planning and budgeting. And not only was the first few days of the trip derailed by bats, we also incurred SUBSTANTIAL costs associated with procuring replacement lodging and the food we had to throw out. If the property owners would have just let us know they had a bat problem ahead of our scheduled trip, we would have been able to mitigate our monetary damages. And I probably wouldn’t have bothered with a negative review because they would have been kind enough to give us time to plan accordingly.

Family Fun
Everything was wonderful. The only recommendations we can make is putting a railing of some sort on the sets of steps leading down to the dock.

Perfect in Every Way
Our group of friends have been coming to Norris Lake for a few years now and this is by far the best cabin we've stayed in. Plenty of space, great location on the lake, and very accommodating hosts. The top deck on the dock was a favorite place for our group of mostly 20 somethings to hang out. Can't recommend this place enough

Rock of Ages ROCKS!!
Rock of Ages was an amazing stay for our family of 16 adults and 12 kids. There was something for everyone, fishing, swimming, cornhole and relaxing! The house is stocked with anything and everything you could possibly need! We were also very impressed with the cleanliness of the house and property! The location of the house on the lake was very peaceful and quiet! Jon
was very pleasant and quick to respond to our questions. You will not regret your stay here!!

This house was perfect for our large group!
We were here for our 11th annual Thanksgiving reunion. It was perfect for our group of 17. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed. It was very nice having double appliances. I would stay here again.

Great time, even with a few issues
Overall, our group of 10 women had a great weekend and stay at Rock of Ages. The reservation process worked well. Jon was very helpful in answering questions before we arrived and was committed to us having a nice stay. The check-in process was easy. The home had a great layout for multiple people or families and the location on the quiet cove was great. We enjoyed our time just lounging on the upper boat dock and found this was a great time of year to visit the lake. We rented a pontoon one day and felt like we had the lake to ourselves, but the water was still warm enough to get in.
There were a few issues, mostly minor, and the property manager was accessible and did everything possible to immediately address them. I mention them in case these things matter to someone else. Upon checkin, the house phone and wifi weren't working. The equipment had been unplugged so this turned out to be an easy fix. We couldn't get any of the remote controls to work, but Alicia provided all new batteries by the next day. We replaced them and still couldn't get them to work, but perhaps it was user error. Instructions for the correct settings to operate the TV with Dish network would be a welcomed addition. The air hockey table in the lower level didn't work.
A bigger issue was the rodent poop between the mattress and box spring in one of the bedrooms. We discovered this when making up the bed upon arrival. This was reported but no amount of cleaning was going to convince the guest who was going to use that room to sleep on the bed. We recognize the house is in the woods and some insects and rodents are possible. We were just hopeful not to have them in the bedding. It rendered 1 of the 9 bedrooms unusable during our stay.
The other thing worth noting is that warm water was at a premium. Only some of the bathrooms had enough water pressure to take a shower and there seemed to only be enough warm water for 1-2 people to take a shower before we'd have to wait for it to heat up again. Not a major issue but if you have a larger group, this could be a problem.
Alicia did attempt reach me again during our stay to make sure everything was going ok, which was appreciated. My cell phone did not have a signal when I was at the house, so I wasn't able to connect with her, but I wanted to point out that she was accessible and made attempts to help us.
Overall, the issues we encountered didn't stop us from having a great time.

another awesome stay at this house !!
We have been coming down to Norris Lake for about 20 years now and this is 1 of our favorite houses! The kitchen with double appliances is a must for our big families!
The location in a very quiet cove is awesome!
All the kids love the extra wide double decker dock !
There are 2 Marina's that are both within 5-10 minutes by boat .
And the house manager -Jon Trimbach has always responded back to us within 5 minutes !!
You won't fine a better house and location than this house!!

Family Reunion
We had a wonderful week on Norris Lake for our 2020 family reunion. Rock of Ages worked out well for our group of 28. Internet bandwidth was a bit challenging for a few in the group who had some work during the week. For the rest of us with a focus of being on the lake, the dock provided incredible access. Kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming and floating in the quiet cove was great. We also rented boats and jet skis through the property manager which could not have been easier. They were at the dock when we arrived and we were able to leave them at the dock when we left. A return to Norris Lake will find us at Rock of Ages.

Property great! Enjoyed the privacy and scenery! Everything was great. A lil issue but awesome place
We just wanted some time away since our mother passed. My sisters and I with our children and grandchildren decided to go some place our mother loves and it was the mountains! She would have loved this place! Sitting outside at night by the fire near the water was great and relaxing! Just awesome! We shall revisit in the future! Thank Jon for allow us to stay in such a gorgeous home!

Everything was above EXCELLENT.
The pictures on line really do not do this home justice.Everything about it is just simply perfect.We always rent houses when we go out of town, but I have never stayed in a home where the kitchen has been fully stocked like this one.It was a pleasure communicating with Mr.Jon, he made everything so easy and was always just a phone call away if we had questions.Thank you very much for this experience.We will definitely be back.

Family vacation 19th year to Norris Lake
Great location on the lake! Felt like private cove! Grandkids loved the slide! Could use a safety gate though to keep the toddlers away when not in use. A few cooking items/replacements were suggested as needs for kitchen. Had air conditioning/severe wall noise in one downstairs bedroom not addressed while we were there.
No cleats on the dock so be sure to bring enough ropes to tie your boats off to the posts.

Great Location
Love this location on the lake. No wake zone allows for worry free swimming and just a short ride out to the main channel. The house is great for large groups.

Stay during COVID-19
We rented the property over Memorial Day weekend for a bachelor party and we had a good time overall. The house was delivered in good condition as expected. I just want to make a few points as to why we docked a star from our review.
First, we were put in a difficult situation because of COVID-19, we felt like we should cancel the trip due to health concerns. Unfortunately, the owner was unwilling to refund us. We weren’t going to let our money go down the drain so we decided to make the trip despite current government recommendations and best practices. We had about 25% of our group cancel but we felt like we had no other choice but to continue with our trip as planned. The owner did offer to reschedule but that didn’t really help our situation any. It was hard enough to schedule 18 people for our chosen weekend and it was a holiday weekend. If we would have rescheduled, 18 people would have had to take a day off to make the trip.
Second, they had to refill the hot tub the morning we got there which is fine but we were instructed not to use the hot tub the first day so it could heat up, no worries. By our third night the hot tub finally hit 99 degrees but as far as hot tubs go it’s not really warm enough and it quickly starts to cool as you use it. This was a bit disappointing.
Third, when we booked this house back in January the management company said they may request a larger security deposit than what we had already put down. I replied that we are happy to discuss it. Fast forward to a week before the event (end of May) I get a notification that we have to pay triple the original security deposit. At this point we were a week away from the trip, we had already paid in full, and I had already collected all the money from the 18 individuals that were supposed to attend. Had the management company followed up prior to this back in February before we paid in full, this would have been fine but due to how close we were to the trip I had to push back. After a quick response from the team at Norris Lake Properties we got the issue resolved so I’m not holding this against them in the review. I did however think it was worth noting.
Given the circumstances, we made the best of the situation and still managed to have a good trip.

We love Rock of Ages!
We just finished a long weekend at Rock of Ages and absolutely loved the house. There were 15 of us and everyone kept talking about how much they loved the house and the location. Everything was clean and neat, the kitchen was very well stocked, the location was very private and the owners were so nice and easy to work with. We will definitely be back.

50th Birthday trip
We had a blast at Rock of Ages! We were a group of 18 adults and there was plenty of room for everyone. We travel frequently, this was our first lake house experience and it was fantastic! Highly recommend, John is great to deal with and knows everything about the lake. Thanks for a fantastic trip that made my 50th birthday amazing!

Great Lake experience
Rented this property for an annual family gathering. First time on a lake - and this was great. Kids had an awesome time in the water, jumping and swimming off the dock and using the slide. The house was laid out well and supported our 8 families easily. Really appreciate the communication and helpfulness of the owners.

Quiet and Very Comfortable
When we arrived at Rock of Ages- we were immediately pleased with the size of the kitchen. We have stayed at large cabins before and have been disappointed with 'smallness' of the kitchens for such a large size cabin- but Rock of Ages did NOT disappoint at all. The kitchen was very open- making it easy to prepare for a large number of people. There were 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, and 2 Oven ranges- this was such a bonus for our large group. The kitchen was also well stocked with more than enough plates and cutlery. It was also nice that the kitchen was outfitted with dish soap and automatic dishwasher soap as well. The entire cabin was clean and the beds were very comfortable. Having a couple of rooms with bunk beds made it very comfortable for the kids in our group as well. The surrounding area was fun for our kids to explore. It would have been very good for our group to sit outside and enjoy a bonfire and some corn hole too- but it rained during out stay. But since our accommodations were so comfortable- there was not a single complaint for us as we mainly stayed indoors. The ping pong table, foosball table, and airhockey made thing very fun and enjoyable for our group. Also, the number of bathrooms in the cabin was a great benefit for our group. Thanks for blessing our group with such a great time!
