About this house rental

Welcome to Nauti & Nice @ Norris!

The property is located in Dodson Creek cove, right off of the main channel, near the Hwy 33 bridge, just minutes from Beach Island Marina and Bubba Brew's sports bar and grill by land or water, and under ten miles from Maynardville’s grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants.

The cabin comfortably lives 18 family/friends. The outdoors is mostly wooded with a fabulous view and easy access to the lake! There is a small lawn with seating around a fire pit, and a spacious dock for reading, sunning, and splashing; the dock has a ladder allowing easy access for swimming.
Let’s start upstairs of this 3 floored cabin. The upper level has a fun game nook with several board games, puzzles, card games, and some toys for little ones. This nook has a 6-person table allowing for week-long puzzles to be put together or long board games to remain setup without getting in the way of meals! There are 2 bedrooms on this level, each with a queen-sized bed and a cozy loft area overlooking the great room. The loft has a comfortable futon which sleeps 2 and storage space for guests to easily transform the conversation space into a bedroom. The upstairs bathroom is set up with towels for 6.
The main floor has a spacious and comfortable primary bedroom suite with towels for 2, kitchen, dining spaces, living room with smart TV/DVD player, and a three season’s screened-in porch with a conversation circle overlooking the cove and picnic table on the other side. A propane grill is on a small deck just outside of the screened in porch. The main gathering area is an open floor plan with a high vaulted ceiling. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, pans, mixing bowls, casserole dishes, serving bowls/platters, roasting pan, baking necessities, and storage containers for leftovers. There is a can opener, wine bottle opener, and dish detergent. Appliances include blender, griddle, toaster, coffeemaker, waffle irons, small crock-pot, microwave, full size stove/oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator – there is a second refrigerator downstairs as well, right off the game room.
Downstairs sleeps 10: There are two bedrooms, one with a queen and a child's bed (sleeps 3) and another has a full, and a twin over full bunk bed (sleeps 5). There is a queen-sized pullout sofa in the computer/TV space (sleeps 2). And the large bathroom has towels and space for 10.
There is a nice game room with a ping-pong table, air hockey table, and foosball. The paddles, balls, and handles needed are stocked waiting for you bring the fun! This L-shaped room also has a computer with internet access, connected to a TV (as a 2nd monitor). Please note: while we are not able to offer internet throughout the property, the Verizon signal is very strong; service of other carriers may not be able to reliably connect.
There is a snack area, washer/dryer, and door to a small outside patio with a great view of the cove / dock. Off this patio you will find a unique outside changing room / shower – it’s just fun to shower outside in this totally private, spacious outdoor shower!
While we’re outside, let’s go down to the dock. The path to the dock starts with a staircase that leads to a winding, well-cleared path. While the distance isn’t far, you might draw straws to determine who has to carry the cooler and laugh about being winded every time you come up (it is not wheelchair or stroller accessible). The dock has plenty of space to lounge and during summer months the water is normally ~45’ deep making for a nice swimming area. The dock has cleats on the south and north sides, allowing for any size boat to tie up, as well as a covered slip deep enough for 26’ boat. There are large hooks where you can store a kayak or paddle boards on the dock as well. At night, lights will automatically illuminate the path back to the cabin.

When you arrive, we recommend you drop off your boat at Beach Island Marina before going to the cabin. The boat ride is an easy loop around an island, under the bridge, and turn right into the first cove. The Nauti & Nice dock is right by the first orange buoy in the Dodson Creek cove and will have blue led lights that come on after dark. The driveway is long an connects to the road in two places with plenty of room for multiple cars, trucks, and trailers.

Such a perfect spot for a family vacation! The house was so much nicer than the photos depict. We loved the roominess, the accessibility to the dock and the screened in porch. Fran was fantastic to work with! We can’t wait to return next year!

We had a great time, the house was exactly as described and pictured. The open kitchen and living area is definitely bigger than it looks in the pictures. The grounds and dock are very nice and well kept. Owner was very easy to work with: prompt and friendly communications before and during our stay. Would definitely book again!

The location of this house on the southern part of Norris was great for our family boating trip. The roads to get to this house were narrow, but we managed to park our 20’ and 24’ boat trailers at the property, along with 4 vehicles. The boat dock was nicely outfitted with fenders, and the trek back up to the house was very doable and better than most places we’ve stayed at Norris. We were on the lake most of the day, and came back to the house to make supper. The only thing I needed but couldn’t find in the kitchen was a handmixer. We really enjoyed having the screened in porch as well as the fire pit.

The house was everything we could have hoped for and more! I don’t think the pictures do it justice. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We had 13 people and felt there was plenty of room and we didn’t feel crowded at all. It is on a fairly quiet cove and the dock is a great place to hang out. There are not many places to sit on the dock but we brought our camping chairs and that worked out great. Compared to other houses on the lake we did not feel the stairs were too bad. A little hike up stairs is expected on Norris Lake. Although the driveway has its challenges, it does have plenty of room for parking. I would listen to the recommendation to not bring your boat to the house. Bubbas Brews is a short boat ride away and a great place for food/drinks. We would definitely stay here again.

Property & Nice was everything we imagined and more. It is one of the best vacation rentals that we have stayed in. It is a very private location with a beautiful covered porch. The home was built and furnished with alot of care and thought and equipped with everything that you could possibly need during your stay. Including a great covered boat dock. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone looking for a 1st class lake vacation home.

We had a wonderful time at the lake. The house was perfect for our 3 household group and had everything we needed. It was a beautiful house with a great location both from the road and on the water. It was perfect for a week of family fun and relaxation.
