About this property
LAKE FRONT! 15 Beds, 2 kitchens, 2 living rms, HUGE dock w 2 covered 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 the 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 allows you to boat and fish most anytime of the year!! Many houses in coves loose their water in the early fall when the lake is lowered and by mid September these homes can NOT be accessed by water. Typically, Family Affair can be accessed by water, even though it is in a tranquil cove, this is unique!! If you plan on boating or fishing after September or before April please let us know and we will get the current lake level for you to MAKE SURE the water level is acceptable for any planned activities.

Family Affair is perfect for a large group. The kitchens are well equipped. We enjoyed the lake view from all three outdoor seating areas and the fire pit.The house is very clean and well maintained. Communication with the home owner was easy and quick.

Thank you so much for the five star review! We are so happy you enjoyed the Lake House and you found it had everything you needed for your group. Lastly, thank YOU for all the kind words and for taking the time to provide the feedback. Kindest regards.
Every December our family rents a cabin for a long weekend to be together. Family affair was the best we’ve ever picked. The house is well-built, well-stocked and very clean. Since it’s winter, we did not enjoy the lake, but I can only imagine the additional fun on the water!

Thank YOU for the five star review. Fantastic, Very functional, Clean and better than expected, these are the things we strive for. We appreciate your kind words and taking the time to let others know you enjoyed our lake home. Best Regards
This stay was for my in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary and there were 25 of us that stayed at Family Affair. Here is my in-laws' personal review:We had a wonderful stay at Family Affair! There was a mistake made with the AC but they corrected it and compensated us for any discomfort! Very fair!There were games and toys there as well as a wonderful dock that the kids ( and adults) really enjoyed. The kitchens were stocked with any pots or utensils we needed. The beds were comfortable and super clean. The owners even helped with a customer service issue we were having with a local marina. They were friendly and very concerned that we be comfortable and have a great time. We would definitely rent from them again!! Unfortunately our disabled Vet son couldn’t have his service dog with him. We wish we had known this up front before we booked the stay. But all in all, it was a fantastic accommodation for 25 of us to celebrate our 50th Anniversary! I would like to personally add that the stay was pleasant and the hosts were amazing, I'm not taking away from their kind hospitality. But my husband is a disabled veteran with a service dog and he's used to having her with him everywhere and there is nothing posted on the listing that even service animals are not allowed on this property and we knew nothing until we had already booked. Although it's against ADA policies, Vrbo sided with the host instead of the client due to a medical loophole ... we deserved to know up-front.

Thank you, for taking the time to share your experience and for choosing Family Affair to celebrate your 50th wedding anniversary. We were honored to host such a special occasion and are delighted to hear that your family enjoyed the property, from the dock and games to the well-stocked kitchens and comfortable accommodations.
We especially appreciate your kind words about our hospitality and responsiveness. It was also our pleasure to assist with the marina issue and help make your celebration as enjoyable as possible. Additionally, we’re glad we were able to quickly help resolve the confusion regarding the thermostat settings and ensure everyone remained comfortable throughout the stay.
We understand and respect the concerns your daughter-in-law shared regarding the service animal policy. We sincerely regret any frustration or disappointment this situation caused your family. We have tremendous respect and appreciation for our military members, veterans, and their families, and we proudly offer military discounts as a small token of gratitude for their service and sacrifice.
While we strive to make all property policies clear prior to booking, we also understand that questions can arise during the planning process. For that reason, guests have the opportunity to review the property details and cancel without penalty if plans change or the property is not the right fit, provided cancellation occurs more than 60 days before arrival. We are glad you stayed with us even though you could have canceled.
Thank you again for your thoughtful review and for celebrating such a meaningful milestone with us. We are grateful for the opportunity to host your family
Our family had the most amazing vacation at Family Affair home!! There is so much space. We had more than enough space for our family. The bedrooms are all spacious. There is so much to do that we hardly ever left the house. With 2 kitchens and dining areas we had everything we needed for our family chef to do his thing. The kids had a blast playing and running around the area hiking and exploring.We will be back in the summer time and take a trip to the jumping bridge!!The double decks on the boat dock was awesome for sitting and enjoying the beautiful views!

Thank YOU for the five stars! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review and we are happy you found the house spacious and enjoyed the two kitchens. Best Regards
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.

Our family loved our stay at Family Affair! The home was clean upon arrival and stocked extremely well. Communication with the owners was fantastic they are super kind.Our family consist of 21 people including 11 children between the ages of 5and 12 and we loved having separate levels for the kids to sleep on and play in which was a huge bonus to the adults! He would give 6 stars if we could and highly recommend a stay at Family Affair!
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!

Thank you sooooo much for the amazing FIVE STAR review of our property. We are happy you found the house "spotless and well-maintained". Additionally, thank you for highly recommending our lake house.
We had a great time in spite of the rain. The house was comfortable, clean and very well stocked. The only thing needed is a table on the dock top level.

About the host
Hosted by Mark & Tammy Weber, Eric & Amie Groll
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!!
