Plan a Winter Getaway! Or Ready for Spring Already? Firepit, HotTub, & Views!

Bring on the ‘Wow’ factor with this owner built, new in 2018 8BR/8BA home in popular Lakeside Estates! Laid Back Lodge offers everything you could want in a lake house with three levels of living space both inside and out, numerous amenities and a modern rustic décor. The breathtaking views of the mountains, trees and peaceful water of Norris Lake will send you in vacay mode immediately! This home rents Saturday to Saturday during peak summer season (early-June to mid-August). Laid Back Lodge was built with attention to detail for vacationers like you in mind. There is plenty of available parking right at the house and FREE fast Xfinity internet (200mps) and long distance telephone.

This 3-story lake house features spacious living areas on each level with a stained wood vaulted ceiling, a fireplace and expansive windows to greet you as you walk into the main level in this open concept floor plan. The fully equipped kitchen has marble countertops with plenty of seating available to enjoy your company at two oversized dining tables as well as at the large kitchen island/bar. Two full size refrigerators, two dishwashers, cooktop stove/oven, built-in oven and microwave will suit a chef of any kind. Step out to the elevated deck from the kitchen/dining area and take in the views while drinking your morning coffee! The large covered deck includes a gas grill and tables & chairs for outdoor dining enjoyment. There are two bedrooms (each with a King bed) and two bathrooms also on the main level.

The middle level has a large family room area with 2 couches and a flat screen TV. There are four bedrooms - two King bed suites and two with Queen beds along with Full/Full bunks. Each bedroom has its own full private bathroom. There is also a laundry room on this floor with a washer & 2 dryers. Walk out to the middle level lounge deck and chill on the outdoor sectional, swivel chairs or in the hammock!

The lower level is the ultimate game room complete with a large flat screen TV, sofa, pub table/chairs, air hockey table and ping pong table! This level has 2 bedrooms, one with a Queen bed and Twin/Twin bunks and the other is a bunk room with a Twin/Twin bunk and a Twin/Full bunk. There are also two full size bathrooms on the lower level attached to each of the bedrooms. From this level you can walk out to the lower level deck and relax in the hot tub after a long day or play a fun game of carpetball (rules are posted on the table). A short set of stairs off the lower deck leads you to the firepit and corn hole area for more family fun and entertainment! Here you can access the concrete path that takes you to the private double decker dock. The dock is marked with a sign, 'Laid Back Lodge' on both the front and the back to make it easy to locate. It's a super short walk to the dock from the house (about one-tenth of a mile) - but the terrain is hilly due to the fact that we are nestled in the Cumberland Mountain range, so we provide a COMPLIMENTARY GOLF CART for your use! *Note that the golf cart may only be available seasonally (April - November).

The 2-story double decker dock features a large picnic-style table on the upper level so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while right on the water. And you don’t want to miss out on the fun slide for kids (and adults) of all ages!! The dock has one covered slip and 2 other areas with cleats to tie up your watercraft. No watercraft? No problem! There are several places on the lake that rent boats and/or jet skis. And for the non-motorized water enthusiasts, there are 2 kayaks for your enjoyment!
The dock sits on Year Round Deep Water. This means you can utilize the dock throughout the entire boating and swimming season.
PLEASE NOTE: Later in the Fall and through the Winter into early Spring, the lake level will drop (controlled by the TVA), possibly making the dock inaccessible from the stairs off the bank.


Lakeside Estates is a gated community with private boat ramp, community pool, basketball court and walking trails. A quiet cove surrounds the neighborhood which is located near the famous Cedar Creek Jumping Bridge and Sugar Hollow Marina. Sugar Hollow Marina is a full-service marina with a restaurant, live entertainment during certain times of the year, fuel and ice. Vacationing on Norris Lake will be one of the most fun and memorable times you could ever share with your friends and family. Whether you are boating, fishing or spending the day swimming or just lounging, you will enjoy the calm clean waters of the lake and its surroundings. Staying in Lakeside Estates feels like a true getaway, yet you are only 10-15 minutes from grocery, restaurants and shopping. Taking a break from the lake or visiting in the off season? Enjoy the nearby ATV park, golfing at one of the local golf courses, Elk viewing, Cumberland Gap National Park or a quick day trip for some shopping or to see a show in Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg.

Need even more space? Laid Back Lodge sits next to Laid Back Living, a 6BR/5BA home and Seas the Day, a 9BR/9BA home. Feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Spacious and clean lake house retreat!
We used this space for our annual young adult ministry retreat and it was perfect! Plenty of sleeping space. Having 3 levels was great. Big and accommodating kitchen. Great basement game room. Access to lake and basketball court. Would come back in a heart beat!

Great place to stay!
Our family vacation included a wide age range of people and everyone had a great time here! Only problems were one squeaky, uncomfortable bed out of the 8 bedrooms. Also, you have to make your own beds upon arrival. Otherwise, plenty of space! 2 refrigerators and dishwashers. The golf cart was a life saver getting to the dock and back. Everything was clean and the property manager/ owners were very responsive! We want to stay there again!

Friend Reunion
Overall very clean and nice property!! Was below expectations on extra needs. Like dishwasher soap and dish soap. We were told ahead of time there would be only 1 roll of toilet paper and a couple trash bags, but feel for the price these amenities would be better provided. The golf cart was awesome to go back and forth to the dock and hang in the sun! We’d stay here again.

Like new house, nicer than expected!
We had short but sweet stay at Laid Back Lodge. We enjoyed boating and hiking in the area. The neighborhood is very park-like and quiet in the early spring. It was a nice getaway. Accommodations were clean and new!

Laid Back Lodge
Everything was as advertised. The owners were great answering questions leading up to our stay. Plenty of room for our group of 20. The boat dock was great, with a slide. It’s a bit of a walk down the hill to the dock, but the golf cart made it easy. Beautiful home, plenty of parking.
