About this property

Welcome to Owl House on Norris Lake!

We invite you to visit our charming lakeview cottage. Owl House is named for the barred owl that my children & I have been amazed to see hunting in the yard. If you sit quietly on the screened porch at dusk, you’ll have a good chance of seeing the owl too!

In September 2022, we upgraded the AC/heat to a mini split HVAC unit. This unit serves all rooms except for the sleeping porch which has natural heat and cooling.

The cottage is located on Persimmon Road. Lake access is available within a 5 minute walk (you can also drive). Sequoyah Marina is the closest boat launch and Anderson County Park is nearby as well.

Owl House was originally an Alphabet House built at Oak Ridge. We guess it moved to Persimmon Road in the 1950s and some modifications were made, including raising the ceilings and adding 2 porches and a deck.

Norris Lake was the first TVA lake, the dam was completed in 1936. The lake has over 800 miles of shoreline and almost 34000 acres surface area at full pond level. It’s formed by the Clinch & Powell Rivers and is considered one of the cleanest TVA lakes. Contact us for weekly or monthly rates.

Owl house is the perfect slice of paradise

Just want to say wow 🤩 this location is amazing. We drove from Tampa bay to Norris and so was worth it!!!! Charles was amazing great communication , everything you need to enjoy the simple things in life to get away from the chaos of the world this lovely cabin has it all 😊. While we stayed there the weather wasn’t perfection but better then the norm for us. We woke up to deer wandering in the yard, howling of coyotes at night and eagles 🦅 screaming in the afternoon, if that isn’t saying enough well then stay away. I give this cabin 10 stars ⭐️ . Thank you Charles for our wonderful stay you have a wonderful piece of heaven there on the lake . Highly recommend 😊🏠😍❤️

Who who. Who doesn’t love owl house?

We have stayed here multiple times. I always look forward to sleeping in the outdoor room. Our group loves sitting on the screened in porch. The neighborhood is fantastic for taking a walk. Loads of deer every night. Only upgrade I want to see is a small shade for the far right window of the outdoor bedroom to block the street light one road away. It’s our annual place to stay at the lake. Great get away.
