Norris Trip
Great Stay. Beds were comfortable, house was very clean. Margie was very sweet and responsive. All the extras in the house were awesome, especially the fresh baked cookies upon arrival. The house is about 6 minutes from Norris Damn Marina and 15 minutes from Wind Rock trail head. So close to many fun adventures. Easy to park your trailers. Everything was perfect.

Hi. We wanted a clean, quiet, comfortable place to stay during a fishing trip & we found it. Nestled close to Clinton / Norris / Rocky Top and several major lakes, rivers and streams.
