Cozy, Rustic A Frame on Big Creek Sleeping 8-10 Guests



Built in 1977, this cabin has served as a retreat for three generations of our family. Since 2006, its classic a-frame design, locally sourced wood and stone has invited guests to enjoy a cozy, outdoors getaway here on Norris Lake. We hope we can welcome you into our little slice of heaven.

Over the years we listened to every piece of feedback and advice our guests had. That’s why, in 2017, we underwent a substantial renovation to meet those demands and keep up with the growing popularity of the area.

This three bed, two bath boasts an open floor plan downstairs and two large porches, both overlooking the lake. Downstairs, you will find the fully stocked kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a master bedroom featuring classic, rustic cabin furnishings, a smart tv and a queen size bed, a newly renovated master bath with an oversized bath/shower combo and the great room. The great room includes upgraded DirectTV entertainment on a 55 inch flat-screen TV, a blue tooth sound bar as well as a sectional sofa, recliner and a love seat. Additional kitchen appliances can be found below.

Upstairs we have two bedrooms and a newly-renovated bathroom. The loft bedroom overlooking the great room sleeps 2 in a queen bed while the back bedroom sleeps 4 with two double beds. Both bedrooms are connected to the upstairs porch which includes seating. For your comfort, a window mounted air conditioner has been added to our upstairs double room.

Our cabin is centrally located so it's really easy to get where you need to go by water! Sequoyah Marina is one of the largest marinas on the lake, and you're just a 10 minute (speed) boat ride away! Sequoyah is a full-service marina offering WaveRunners and Pontoon boat rentals. They start off all their weekends on Friday night with their famous "Wing Night" serving the best wings and coldest Corona on Norris Lake!

Also, just a 10 minute (speed) boat ride away, is Whitman Hollow. Whitman is a smaller dock, but don't let that fool you. Froggies is Whitman's bar that prides itself on great music, delicious food, friendly staff and their high rise dining deck.

For all your land traveling needs, we're really in that happy medium of just close enough in case you need anything and far enough out to not be bothered by the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You'll be in town in about 20-25 minutes and there you'll find an array of food, grocery shopping, gas stations etc.

Unlike most rentals on Norris Lake, we’re from this area and we'd like to think that gives us a little more appreciation and love for this amazing lake. Here, you're not just a tenant, you're a guest in our 3rd generation family home. Come stay with us, and see for yourself why life is always better at the lake.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Front steps are difficult for elderly and handicapped. No guardrail and high. Inside of cabin is beautiful. Propane grill was nasty, glad we brought grill matts. Ran out of propane after one use. Oven inside dirty and bottom drawer extremely hard to open and close. Toilet in bathroom is very low to floor and hard for elderly to use. Stairs of back deck need alot of repair and no gate as pictured. Definitely not a good cabin for elderly or handicapped.

The cottage was very charming. The location was great and the weather was even better. The deck and steps need a little attention. The one thing I wish for would be to thin the trees out so you could see more of the lake and especially between the cottage and the dock as you can’t see the dock from the cottage.

Family Getaway

Great family cabin. Love seeing the family photos on the walls that were taken on the lake Cabin is clean, linens were provided with extra blankets and such. Bring beach towels as they do not have any at the house. AC works great as we were there on a week of 90* all week. Any kitchen item you need was in the cabinet. Extremely nice to have a washer and dryer right by the main level. A few notes for future renters: the stairs to the 2nd floor are very narrow (I’d recommend kids upstairs), the property is on a pointe so boats do cruise around the corner fast creating wake (our boat was fine but bring extra fenders to use), we brought a folding wagon to use to haul items up and down the hill to the boat dock (the walk up the hill is not bad, much preferred over 100+ steps).

Lake vacation 2023

The house was exactly as described. Our only issue was with meal times.There is no light over the dining table and only 4 chairs. We utilized the stools, but they are really too high for the table. There was plenty of room to park the car and truck and trailer. The access to the lake and dock was manageable. We had a great time!

Norris Lake Stay

Very difficult identification of property (I suggest adding property number to home- less than $20). Code given by VRBO was inaccurate. Causing several issues which were resolved by property owner. Overall great place for our weekend. Catfish from the dock. Might be an internal leak, kitchen had running water noises.

Good for a group on the lake

We had a nice time at Norris Lake. The property is set up for a young family. Beware of the outside stairs and the steep hill to the lake. Ground is uneven on path going down and a twisted ankle is likely if you are not constantly aware. The kitchen has everything you need. A little on the expensive side but overall nice. (Cleaning crew should have cleaned air vent and swept deck.) But the view was great.

Beautiful lake house

We rented this house and I was very happy with it. My only issues are the steps could use some TLC, and the walk to the dock is much steeper than it seems in the pictures. The house was clean and enjoyable. The lake was pristine and we had a great time. We had one heck of a storm one night and lost power, it was up and running in no time, quicker than at my own house.

Rustic pleasure

We enjoyed our stay at the A-frame on the lake. We arrived with surprise goodies waiting, which was so sweet. The dock was large but in two sections with plastic flooring and tape covering the gap and was difficult to get onto. A guy came by and said someone would pull it out further into the lake but never did. The decks were large with ample picnic tables and a good grill. One of the three plastic chairs was broken. The rock and concrete stairs are broken as well as dangerous. It was cute inside but rustic. Thank you for the use of your vacation home.

Great place to make lifelong memories

We had six adults and four kids (8-11 years old) at the Norris Jewell and enjoyed the stay tremendously. The house was just the right size for us. Of course a little more space would have been nice, but this house was very cute and cozy for us. We really enjoyed the access to the lake, dock and very peaceful mornings. As other reviewers have mentioned, it’s a pretty long drive to any stores, gas stations and restaurants (about 20 minutes) so make sure you have what you need when you get to the house. Also, if you fill the refrigerator the first day don’t be shocked if the temp goes up and takes a while to cool back down. It will, just be patient. Overall, we loved the place. The kids asked if we could come back next year. 😊

Cute cabin with a cute story

We stayed at the Jewel and enjoyed our time there. Getting to and from the cabin can be a challenge so you'll want to bring as many supplies as possible with you to avoid trips back and forth. It was early in the season but we were able to rent a boat and enjoy the lake and surrounding area. The owners were excellent with communication and accommodations. We had an issue with the dock and there was someone there to fix it same day. Thank you!

This place is an excellent place to stay. The home is a cute, very accommodating A-frame. It has been recently updated and was sparkling clean. The kitchen was excellent and well stocked. The bathroom was very clean. The beds were cozy for a good night's sleep. The location was excellent. Beautiful views of the lake with a lovely grass lawn. We loved the chairs on the deck to just take in the view. We enjoyed a quiet, relaxing week by the lake. We even met a friendly fox who came to say goodbye as we were leaving.

Big Creek Cabin

Cabin is comfortable and cozy with a well-appointed kitchen. Nice decks with views of the lake. Enjoyed the fire pit close to the lake. Dock was adequate for the pontoon boat we rented from Whitman Hollow Marina but a bit of a docking challenge due to boat traffic (cabin is on the main channel) and crosswinds. Grade from the lake to the cabin was fairly easy to manage for someone of average fitness. There was a local power outage on our second day there, contacted the property manager and the power company had power back on within a few hours. Check-out instructions easy to comply with. Thanks for the thoughtful welcome bottle of wine and the Goldfish crackers which we enjoyed! This was a relaxing week for us and our dog.

Wonderful relaxing week

House review The cabin had everything we needed for a fun yet peaceful week on the lake. Internet worked great as well as satellite TV. Loved the iron skillets. Even with temps in the mid-80’s, the back deck stays cool with shade and a constant breeze. There’s also a sunny area for tanning. We rented a pontoon boat from a local Marina for a day and had no trouble tying up at the dock for an hour or two. There is a ladder for getting back on the dock after a nice swim. The water was wonderful!! Yes, coming up the hill from the fire pit and/or dock is exhausting. Firewood was provided as well as kindling. Comfy beds and awesome decks as described. Spent most time on the decks and dock or on the grass under the shade tree near the dock.

Relaxing vacation with amazing lake access

This cabin has an old charm feel, and we felt very much at home. We stayed with our family and friends. We had a total of 5 adults, 3 children, and an infant. It fit us all comfortably, anymore people than that it would not have accommodated well. The adult and child sleeping in the loft did not have much privacy and it was somewhat difficult in the morning to not wake them. But the outside deck accommodated us quite well until they were ready to wake up. The lake is breathtaking. The dock was so much fun for the kids to jump off and swim. Downsides include the dock not having a ladder, the massive hill from the lake to the house, and the fire pit is kind of at an awkward spot. But overall the home was very clean and we loved having a private dock. I would highly recommend this property! We will definitely be staying again!
