FLAT Lakefront Home w/ Dock-Kayaks-Paddle Board

Listing Description:
Flat lakefront home in a quiet no-wake cove behind Straight Creek Boat Dock, with a smooth, level walk down to a private dock. Four bedrooms sleep 16 between the main house and a detached bungalow with its own bath and kitchenette. Hot tub, a big covered pavilion by the water with a swing, fire pit and cornhole. Three kayaks and a paddle board, one boat slip, fiber Wi-Fi and YouTube TV on the Samsung Smart TVs. Room to park your boat trailer on site.

The Space:
THE MAIN HOUSE
Bright open living and dining area with a large dining table for the whole group. Kitchen with a Keurig Duo (K-Cups or ground coffee), dishwasher, large fridge, electric stove and oven, microwave, toaster and blender. Two king bedrooms and a bunk room with two full-over-full bunks, two full baths and a laundry room. Samsung Smart TVs with YouTube TV, up to three screens at once (you can also sign in to your own streaming apps), and fiber Wi-Fi in both buildings. The indoor fireplace is for owner use only.

THE BUNGALOW
A detached building just behind the house with its own rustic, bar-like feel: a bedroom with a full bed, a living room with a queen pull-out sofa and its own patio, a kitchenette with a bar top, and a full bath with a shower. Same entry code as the main house.

OUTDOORS
Decks and a covered patio with plenty of seating, a hot tub, and a large covered pavilion by the water with a swing and lounge furniture. Cornhole boards, Weber gas grill (we supply the propane) and a fire pit (we supply the firewood; it is stacked by the pavilion).

GETTING TO THE WATER
The lot is flat, so it is a smooth, level walk from the house down to the dock, with no hill or stairs.

KAYAKS & PADDLE BOARD
Three kayaks and one paddle board are included; please return them to the racks with the paddles after use. We do not supply life jackets, so bring your own.

DOCK & WATER
Private dock with a swim ladder; the dock has no power. One slip is yours for your boat; the outside slip is often used by our rental pontoon. The house sits in a long no-wake cove behind Straight Creek Boat Dock, about a 15-minute idle to the main channel, so the water by the dock stays calm for kayaks, swimming and new boaters. Like most of Norris Lake, the water level is set by TVA: in a normal year the dock floats from April through mid-October, a dry year can end that sooner, and the lake drops through fall and winter.

BOATS & TRAILERS
Straight Creek Boat Dock, a few minutes away, is the closest place to launch, and your trailer can stay at the house. The road in is narrow and curvy in places, so take it slowly when towing.

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 property is yours: the main house and the detached bungalow, both on the same entry code. Up to 6 cars, and your boat trailer can stay at the house. One slip at the dock is yours; the outside slip is often our rental pontoon.
