Quiet Cove on the Quiet Side of the Lake

Located in a quiet cove on the quiet side of Norris Lake. If you are looking for the ultimate ski water - not cluttered by others - enjoy the scenic beauty of the Clinch River area. Simply idle a ONE minute to Straight Creek Marina. Take advantage of a 20-minute ride to the famous Bubba Brews, Jimmy's Place, and the Shipyard at Lone Mountain.

Bring your boat(s) and park at your private dock on year-round water. For off season dates, please inquire for estimated water depth at the dock. Since we have almost zero boat traffic, enjoy the swim platform with swim ladder. No boat? No worries! Rent watercraft at the super close Straight Creek Marina and nearby Beach Island Marina, Norris Landing Marina, and Lone Mountain Marina. Launch your boat at the super convenient Straight Creek Marina.

Enjoy conservations and smores by the campfire overlooking the lake.

From the large parking area, enter the home's front door to an open and bright floorplan. The well-equipped kitchen overlooks the island bar, dining room, and living room. A sitting room overlooking the lake provides the perfect morning coffee setting and reading room. A deck overlooking the lake provides more enjoyment and a propane grill (free propane).

The main level has bedroom #1 king and bathroom #1 shower & huge tub.

The upper level has bedroom #2 & #3 each providing a king & twin. Bathroom #2 has a tub (no shower).

The lower level provides even more space for gathering and access door to the lake. Bathroom #3 provides a shower (no tub). A washer and dryer are provided. Please bring soaps and detergents.

New Tazewell is a 7-mile car ride for grocery, restaurants, Walmart, and golf. Knoxville is 40 miles and McGhee Tyson Airport is 59 miles.

For stay dates after Oct 1 up to April 1, please submit an inquiry prior to booking.

An overall excellent experience

Black Dog Lake House was exactly as advertised. A nice property located in a secluded cove on Norris Lake. Well appointed, with separate living spaces for the adults and our teen son (who had the downstairs 'man cave' to himself). We really enjoyed the visit!

Great pet friendly place

It was a great pet friendly place. The house was very nice and clean. My dogs could jump off the dock and enjoy the lake. The fire pit was a nice plus. I would definitely recommend for a quiet lake getaway. The kitchen was stocked with everything you need. The place was exactly as described on the website. Plan on coming back

Thanksgiving at Black Dog Lake House

We had a wonderful weekend at Black Dog Lake House. Beautiful setting, clean house, comfortable beds, plenty of space, and a welcome environment for our two dogs. You think a lake house is ideal for a summer trip, and this one would certainly fit that bill. However, it was a perfect fit for our family time together at Thanksgiving.

Family Vacay

Love being right on the lake (no stairs). Marina very close and also close to New Tazewell. Rented a pontoon boat for the week, and enjoyed being on the water, exploring the numerous small inlets for swimming and just kicking back on the boat. Our house was very comfortable with large deck area and all the amenities. Looking forward to next year.

Great weekend getaway!

My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. It was clean, well stocked and easy to get too. My dogs loved jumping off the dock! The lake was clean and the trees provided much needed shade. We also enjoyed the fire pit and even rented a boat. We also utilized the board games they had stocked downstairs. It was the perfect size for a family of five. Everything was great and we would love to come back again!

Great space in a quiet cove!

We had a group of adults and teens. House had plenty of room, was organized and well stocked with everything we needed! We rented a pontoon boat from Straight Creek Marina (nicest people ever!) and spent every day on the lake. It was nice to be at the quiet end of the lake for boating, swimming, tubing and jet skiing. We appreciated the ability to bring our dogs too...they loved it as much as we did! Would rent again for sure!

great house on the 'quiet side' of the lake

wonderful home! plenty of space for 3 couples. Large kitchen with all cookware we needed. Loved all the outdoor spaces - multiple decks, dock was great, and were able to use the firepit. would definitely recommend if looking for a quieter location - much less boat traffic. Marina is not as well stocked as others, but not a huge deal for us.

Fun little lake vaca!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the black dog lake house! The home was clean and had just about everything we needed. We rented a boat from straight creek marina and got to explore the lake which is absolutely beautiful. The cove was great for the kid and dogs to swim and play with very little boat traffic. The area is quiet and we got to see some fun wildlife everyday. The walk to the dock is much better than most lake houses which was helpful for my older parents and with the dogs. The home was decorated adorably and it felt like home. We would definitely stay again!

Lake house

Nice property. Easy access to dock. Outside deck and stairs need some repairs, steps are not conforming to proper code. The two poles at each corner of the dock are very loose and dangerous. Master bathroom on main floor both cold water faucets leak. The cold water faucet on the right sink takes forever to get cold. The shower you need to turn on for 5 minutes to get warm unless you like very cold showers. There seems to be no lights in the upstairs bedrooms which makes it very dark and dangerous when you have small kids. Air conditioning seems to have a mind of its own you wake up in the morning and it's 78° upstairs. We should have been notified regarding the construction/logging across the street and making it almost impossible to get in the driveway especially when you have a full size pickup truck and there is no way to park on the street because of all the logs, contractors trailer, and construction. The large retaining blocks that they used almost prevented us from being able to get my full size truck down the driveway. Anyone with a boat I would recommend never taking it up there you will never get it turned around. We are very aware of the terrain/roads in the area due to building our own house in lone mountain shores several years ago which we sold a couple years ago. Also while watching the TV Saturday night the Rocu- Netflix went offline and could not get it back. This was brought to management by pictures showing the offline.
