About this property

Family Affair, room 4 30, 15 Beds, 2 FULL Kitchens!!! Huge dock w 2 boat slips

“Family Affair” is an enormous 5,000 square foot home with 15 beds (7 of which are King size beds). The lake house is located right on the water's edge!!! The entire house with all amenities are strictly yours to enjoy, this includes a huge private double level dock with two covered boat slips and a swim platform. The private boat ramp (for the gated community only) is only about 50 yards from house, so putting your boat in and out will be easy. Family Affair is about a five minute boat ride to the famous 'jumping bridge' and about six minutes to ski water.. Family Affair is ideal for family gatherings or entertaining large groups. You can see us on faceb00k at "family affair - norris lake". Its open floor plan has 2 full living levels and each level has a full kitchen, living room, and dining area. Both kitchens are equipped with granite counter tops, refrigerators, dishwashers, stoves, ovens, and microwaves. With 8 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, plus four private vanities with sinks and mirrors (in four of the bedrooms), this huge house can accommodate up to 26 guests in beds. (7 king, 4 Twin, 4 full)
Located on an acre lot with more than 150 feet of private water frontage, “Family Affair” is built right on the lake shore as close to the lake as the Tennessee Valley Authority will allow. It has three furnished walkout decks overlooking a tranquil swimming cove where family and friends can float in the sun with no worry of speeding boats or big waves. The lowest of these three decks has a secluded 8 person hot tub for taking in the lake scenery while your relaxation is taken to a whole new level.
Take the steps from the lowest of the three walkout decks to your own private fire pit on the water’s edge. A good late night fire is a perfect way to end the evening next to the lake while telling everyone about your day at the jumping bridge (five minutes away by boat).
Finally, just a short distance from the fire pit, is one of the biggest private docks on the lake. The dock has two covered slips for your boats, two personal watercraft drive up docks, and a sunning deck. The second level of the dock is a gigantic 31’ x 31’ platform that sits 10 feet above the water. It’s a great place to play corn hole, take in the surrounding sites, or just relax in the sun.
“Family Affair” is located in Lakeside Estates, a gated community a few miles from I-75 and minutes from the city of LaFollette. You couldn't ask for a better location. The cove, where “Family Affair” is located, is a short boat ride to Sugar Hollow Marina, Shanghai Marina, and Springs Resort. These locations are conveniently close, but still far enough away as not to interfere with the tranquility and isolation of this wonderful lake home. Norris Lake is a boater's utopia spanning 5 Tennessee counties with more than 800 miles of shoreline. After 18 years of boating on Norris Lake, there are still many areas we have yet to explore. Norris Lake has over 20 marinas with fuel, food, and entertainment. These are great places to have a drink, watch the game, and to people watch. Many of these marinas have great food, especially fish dinners. If you haven't eaten the striper from Norris Lake you are missing what a lot of people consider the best tasting fish anywhere. If you plan on fishing we can recommend a wonderful fishing guide that we used recently. This guy knows his stripers! Just let us know and we will provide his contact information

The huge two level, two slip covered dock is in year round water, so you can boat and fish anytime of the year!! Many houses in coves loose their water in the fall when the lake is lowered, by mid September these homes can NOT be accessed by water. Typically, Family Affair can be accessed by water, all year round even though it is in a tranquil cove, this is unique!! If you plan on boating after September or before April please let us know and we will get the current lake level for you.

Perfect Getaway by the Lake!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful lakehouse! The property was spotless and well-maintained, with stunning views of the lake from every room. The spacious deck was perfect for morning coffee and evening BBQs. We loved the private dock, which made it easy to enjoy the lake. The hosts were incredibly responsive and provided great local tips. Highly recommend for a relaxing and memorable vacation!

My extended family rented this house and it did not disappoint (10 adults 13 kids). The space fit our family well. We had fun swimming in the lake off the dock and had a great time exploring the rest of the lake. Wonderful place, great owners, great communication. I would recommend this home for you next vacation.

Perfect serene getaway for family & friends!

This was an absolutely beautiful property right on Norris Lake. The community was safe and the home was incredibly well kept! The hosts were AMAZING - we had so many questions before hand for planning purposes and they were kind and extremely communicative throughout the entire process. If you are looking to stay in LaFollette in the most beautiful location, look no further. This was the best VRBO experience I have ever had!!!

The Place We Were Waiting For

I can honestly say that this was one of the best experiences that my family and I were able to have. We struggled finding a place big enough for all of us and with enough bedrooms so that everyone had their own space! The place is wonderful. The owners answered questions quickly and with detail and we had no issues at all. Would definitely book again!

Excellent vacation!

We traveled with 4 families total including 8 adults and 10 "kids" most being teenagers. There was more than enough room for everyone to be together yet have their own space. The house was equipped with everything we needed plus some! The dock was fantastic and we spent many hours down there. We took our own boat and it was super easy to get to ski water and the jumping bridge. It was a quiet, area and perfect for our group! We would all go back in a heartbeat! What a great vacation!!

Fantastic place to stay with large group

There were 30 of us ranging in ages from 1 to 70. Everyone had a great time! The house was plenty big to accommodate our group. This was by far the best equipped house we had ever stayed at. The kitchens were very well equipped and the ice machine was an awesome addition. Our teenagers loved the bunk room and all of the other bedrooms were very comfortable. The location was perfect for boating or just hanging out on the dock and swimming all day. Great time! Thanks for being great hosts. Neil

Perfect spot!

This was our third trip to Norris Lake and our second time staying at this property. We love it here! The house was perfect for our crew and a great time was had by all. The property had everything we needed. Plenty of bedrooms for all to have their own space. The main kitchen was perfect for preparing meals and everyone could sit around the large table together. The second kitchen was a bonus and the ice maker was super nice for filling coolers. Everyone enjoyed the dock and jumping from the top! We can’t wait to come back again! Thank you for sharing your property with us!!

What a great escape! We had never been to Norris Lake before! We celebrated my daughter’s 18th birthday! The house was incredible! Having the two kitchens was so convenient! The weather was marginal but fun was still had by all!!! The hot tub was a big hit on the chilly days. We rented a boat from Sugar Hallow marina! The process of renting the house and the boat were seamless!!! Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us!!

Family Fun Vacation

The home was great and we had plenty of room for 15 of us. The lake was great and the boat dock. Everyone loved the space, pool table and games. My only issue for me and my husband was, we are both 65 and the stairs gave us a challenge, but we did it. The owners were amazing and very accommodating. We really enjoyed the home and our stay.

Lake Norris friend’s trip 2024 was successful!

We really had a great time at Family Affair & are so thankful for the memories we made here with 9 couples! The owners provided literally everything you need for cooking in the kitchen(s) & it was nice to have 2 fully equipped kitchens! It also provided a beautiful view of the lake! Plenty of space for 18 adults which is what we were looking for several months ago when booking a place. The dock was super nice to have to layout & have rental boats delivered to from SugarHollow. The lake house was conveniently close to the jumping bridge & it was in a nice area/gated community which made you feel safe! Our friends had a great time & kept telling us that we wish we had stayed a day or two longer. The owner was super quick at responding & they also provided us some firewood for a bonfire that we had the night before we left. The only complaint we had from a couple was their bedroom upstairs had hair on the sheets/comforter and didn’t seem as clean as the other bedrooms. But nobody else seemed to have any issues with their bathrooms or bedrooms. The house was very clean when we arrived so I still have it 5 stars for cleanliness. Cant wait to return to Lake Norris one day! Thank you!!

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Tammy Weber, Eric & Amie Groll

Host profile image
Managed by Mark and Tammy with daughter Amie and son-in-law Eric, our home is truly a "Family Affair". Originally from Cincinnati Ohio, our family has been spending vacations at Norris Lake for 17 years. We fell in love with the incredibly clear water and are very excited to finally be living our dream at our favorite spot.

Why they chose this property

We have rented in Lakeside Estates since 2009 and have enjoyed not only the convenience to the interstate but also the quiet cove our house is in, which is just a short boat ride to the Cedar Creek jumping bridge. "Family Affair" was our favorite home to rent as it had plenty of room for our large family of 30 and a huge double-decker dock with two covered boat slips and two jet skis docks. If fact, you can even bring a third boat and tie it to the side of the dock. If you decide to rent a boat there is a marina close by that delivers!!

What makes this property unique

1) Huge two-story dock (one of the biggest on the lake!!).
2) Two covered boat slips and two jet ski ramps (dock has AC power and lights).
3) Mothers and Fathers will appreciate the Tranquil swimming cove where their kids, and other family and friends, can float in the sun with no worry of speeding boats or big waves
4) Ample parking directly in front of home, we have put 10 cars there, with no big problem. Rare!!
5) Two FULL kitchens. (this is also rare).
6) Industrial Ice machine, never buy ice again on the lake, saves time and money.
7) Private Fire PIt at lake's edge.
8) Two full living rooms
9) Two complete dining rooms
10) Year round water (even though we are in a quiet cove) so you can boat and fish all year long
11) Private boat ramp 800 feet away from dock. Boat ramp can only be used by our gated community, this helps to limit waiting times when putting your boat in
12) Private 8 person hot tub overlooking the lake
13) Full size Foosball, Full size Air Hockey, and 8' Pool Table
14) Xfinity TV and WiFi with (unlimited data) running at a fast speed of approximately 220 Mbits\sec. Our internet is fast, so if you must work while on vacation you can! Also, with unlimited data at this speed your kids can stay connected so they can play their interactive internet games and stay connected with their friends.
15) Gigantic three story deck, couple this to the 5000 square foot house (way bigger than most other houses in the area on the lake) and you can get lost. If this wasn't enough room, there is also a deck at the lake's edge, and another 1000 square feet of space on the second level of the dock, which is a great place to hang out and enjoy the sites and sounds of Norris Lake
16) For those with boats, you will love the fact that because we are in a deep cove there isn't much traffic and we are in a no wake zone. Therefore, your boat will not take a beaten from boats speeding by trying to wash them out of the water, which happens on main lake!!
