The Big Dipper' Dining for 30, Wet Bar, Billiards, 7 TVs, 4 master suites

Norris Lake Rentals Off Waterfront Trail, LaFollette, TN 37766

Welcome to the “BIG Dipper”. This massive, 4,500 square foot, 3 floor lakeside cabin on the Norris Lake shoreline offers cathedral ceilings, huge kitchen and formal dining room overlooking a large TV room, providing the ultimate entertainment for an extra-large group of friends and family.

***Prior to booking, you must read the notes section below. ***

The Big Dipper features oak and pine from floor to ceiling! 18 foot, 20 person, Amish custom built dining room table!

With 9 bedrooms (4 Master Suites), 7 full bathrooms, this spectacular home provides 10 sleeping quarters for up to 32 people. Couples will appreciate the lake views that each of the 4 Master Suites offer.

Located on the Main Level (street level), the extra large open kitchen is well equipped for crowds with a canopy vented 5 burner gas cook top, 2 wall ovens, microwave, extra large refrigerator, 2 dishwashers, and 3 food pantries. The extra large 7 seat island bar is equally suited for entertaining as it is for whipping up huge meals for the hungry group. We provide free propane for the large grill.

Off the kitchen is the dining room, TV room, bedrooms 1 & 2, common bathroom, and a deck overlooking the lake.

**Prior to submitting questions, you must read entire note section below. **

3 TV rooms and game room sporting Xfinity cable TV and DVD provides endless entertainment. The 4 master suites provide their own additional TVs equipped with Xfinity cable TV.

Located on the Lower Level (bottom level), the game room features a wet bar overlooking the pool table, shuffleboard, fireplace, and your favorite ball game on the huge TV. Step outside to enjoy your private hot tub. The water is changed prior to your arrival. Enjoy roasted marshmallows on the fire deck. For firewood delivery, call the number posted on the frig.

Saving the best for last- Four decks overlook the swimming cove of Norris Lake’s Cedar Creek. No worries of speeding boat traffic. Have fun on your own personal dock that accommodates your boats and jet skis. The covered boats slips are 10'x24' and high enough for pontoons. See below for rental options.

This neighborhood has a small, free, community pool with kiddie pool 1/3 mile from the cabin up a very steep street. It is clean but nothing fancy. There are no life guards or concessions. You don't need a pass. Free parking is available.

Parking on premises, 6 vehicles. Trailers and extra vehicles are parked inside gated community designated parking areas.

Secure & very fast internet via Comcast cable @ 150 Mbps and unlimited usage.

The free boat ramp is 4 houses away. The nearest marinas are Sugar Hollow, Shanghai, Springs.

If you need to rent watercraft simply contact NorrisLakeWaterSports (ask for 10% Bertke discount) or OasisNorrisLake. Both places offer delivery services. Check with nearby marinas: Sugar Hollow, Shanghai, Springs.

Due to liability reasons, we do not provide life jackets, watercraft, floating toys.... We do provide an enormous floating dock.

Due to ridiculous liability reasons, we no longer provide children items such as cribs, play-pens, high chairs, gates.... They get recalled the moment we assemble them.

Why they chose this property

They say location means everything. The Big Dipper is located in the woods, right on the waters edge. The fish come to swim around the dock. The boaters come to swim around the cove. There are two golf courses nearby. What more could you ask for?

What makes this property unique

I'm an avid fly fisher, my wife loves to golf, and my daughters never tire from wakeboarding so my whole family stays happy when we visit The Big Dipper.
