Paradise Cove on Norris Lake w/ Kayaks

Listing Description:
Single-level lakefront home at the quiet end of Dodson Creek Cove: a short, flat walk to a shared dock with your own slip, kayaks included, hot tub and fire pit on the deck. Four bedrooms sleep 14 (a king, two queens, and a bunk room with four doubles). Ten minutes to Maynardville, about 45 minutes to downtown Knoxville, and 5 minutes by car or boat to Beach Island Marina and Boathouse at 33. Our rental pontoons can be delivered right to the dock.

The Space:
THE HOUSE
Ranch-style, everything on one level. Galley kitchen with a standard coffee maker and a K-Cup brewer, dishwasher, large fridge, stove and over-the-range microwave, plus a kitchen table. Hot tub, Weber gas grill (we supply the propane), fire pit (we supply the firewood), ping pong table, Samsung Smart TVs throughout (sign in to your own streaming apps; there is no cable), and 1-gig KUB Fiber Wi-Fi with a mesh system.

KAYAKS
Kayaks and paddles are included; the rack is behind the deck by the fire pit. We do not supply life jackets for the kayaks, so bring your own, and please return the kayaks to the rack when you are done.

DOCK & WATER
Shared 3-slip dock with a swim ladder, about 200 feet from the house down a gentle grade with no steps. One slip per house (stay to the left side when the water is low) and one boat per house; our rental pontoon uses the third slip. The dock has no power. Boat trailers can stay on the grass at the house; the closest launch is Beach Island Marina, 5 minutes away.
This is seasonal water. The dock normally floats from May into late September or early October. TVA lowers the lake every fall and raises it in spring, levels vary year to year and can drop at any time in a drought, and we cannot refund for low water or a dock that is not floating. If you are booking the off season and the dock matters to you, message us first.

PONTOON RENTALS
$325 per day plus a $50 insurance fee and tax, delivered to the dock with a full tank. Book online at least a week ahead to guarantee delivery (the link is in your booking messages). Operators need a valid boater's license or a birth date before January 1, 1989. Boats stay in after dark (insurance rule) and come back with a full tank. Adult life jackets are included; bring kids' sizes.

TUBES & LILY PADS
Two-person tubes ($60 per day) and 15 x 6 ft floating lily pads ($40 per day) can be added to any stay. Reserve a week ahead and they will be at the house when you arrive.

Guest Access:
The whole house is yours. Up to 4 cars and 1 boat per house.
