About this property
A Hard Day’s Night - Lakefront with private dock
“A Hard Day’s Night” – Beatles-themed lakefront cottage on Norris Lake. Cozy rustic 1BR (2 queen beds) perfect for couples or a family of 4. Located in a quiet cove in LaFollette, TN—within view of Sugar Hollow Marina and near Shanghai Resort. Bring your fishing poles and your boat and tie up to our private dock. Enjoy swimming in peace in the cove and build a fire by the water at night. Soak in the peaceful, rustic charm of this nostalgic escape.
Upstairs features a spacious bedroom with 2 queen beds, perfect for couples or a small family. The open-concept downstairs includes a comfortable living area with an electric fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, and a second bathroom.
Step outside and embrace lake life with everything you need for a memorable stay:
Private dock – bring your own boat or rent one nearby and tie up right at the property
Complimentary kayak (use at your own risk) or bring your own!
Propane grill (propane included) for cookouts with a view
Corn-hole boards for some friendly competition
Hammock
Fire pit down by the lake for cozy evenings under the stars
Board games for unplugged fun indoors on a rainy day
Basic internet is available for light browsing and emails.
Roku TV: log into your own apps such as netflix, don't forget to log out when you leave! (no cable)
Rural Area Note:
This is a peaceful, rural location, ideal for unplugging. Internet is basic, and cell service may vary depending on your provider.
**Seasonal Note**
Lake season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, when marinas operate on regular hours and water levels are ideal for boating. In spring, fall, and winter, the weather and lake is beautiful but the water is colder and often lower in our cove, which may make dock tie-up difficult.
The closest boat launch is Sugar Hollow Marina, and local boat rentals are available nearby.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Grotto Properties LLC - Katie

HI, I am Katie with Grotto Properties LLC. I have been a host for 5 years now and enjoy sharing our home away from home with others to make memories of a lifetime. I strive to give our guests a 5 star experience and maintain our 5 star status. I am a licensed real estate agent in Tennessee and Florida so please reach out if you are looking to purchase your own rental or home in the area. I would be happy to help!
Why they chose this property
I decided to start hosting our lakefront property so that others could enjoy it as much as we do. It is a private getaway tucked away in a cove with its own private dock. It is quaint and cozy for a small family or couples retreat. You can tie up your boat to our dock and swim in the cove with hardly any boat traffic. We are near several marinas. It's the perfect lake getaway.
What makes this property unique
It is unique because there are not that many smaller cottages on the lake. So if you are a couple just wanting to get away this is the place for you!
