To rent jet skis, pontoons and ski boats check out Sugar Hollow and Shanghai Marinas. Sugar Hollow Marina is the closet marina for launching your boat and jet skis. Groceries and pharmacies are a twenty minute drive in LaFollette, TN.

In order to book this property you must have a valid US driver’s license and you must be at least 25 years old. A copy of this driver’s license will be required at the time signed rental agreement is sent in.

Lake Norris has about 800 miles of shoreline while a few areas are zoned for residential development and marinas, most of the lake is uninhabited and you have miles of water shoreline with coves that you can enjoy.
While picking the location for our home, we had 3 criteria:
✬ Safety: Where our kids and families can enjoy the lake, swim around safely near the deck and dive from our private dock.
✬ Family: Our home is situated in a cove away from the traffic but have a view of the lake from all bedrooms. There is no concept of a master bedroom, we have 4 identical bedrooms with attached bath with beautiful view of the lake and individual walk out to the deck. The other 2 bedrooms in the upper floor was designed for families with kids, where they cannot walk out to the deck by themselves and be safe with parents. You will be pleased to find all four master bedrooms and bathrooms were equal in size and features. The same is true for the two bunk bed rooms (for families with kids). This will make it easy for everyone to pick a room.
✬ Location: Quickly accessible to free waterway and also close to marinas where families can go grab a bite and get their boats/jet skis refilled.

    We had four families together for the Thanksgiving holiday and we loved every bit of our stay at the lake house. We were a bit surprised at how steep the driveway was from the road however we were able to navigate that safely and some of us just left vehicles up at the top of the hill and walked down. With eight adults and 7 teenagers, we had plenty of room to spread out, plenty of bedding, and hang out area for everyone. The views are great and the hot tub was a plus for chilly nights. There was plenty of kitchen items for our Thanksgiving meal.The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. We would love to return.

    The property was phenomenal. The only inconvenience we had was the walk down to the lake and the walk back up to the house. We are both seniors over 75 so whenever we went down or up one of our 3 sons or 2 grandsons had to walk with us in case we lost our balance. That was a minor inconvenience only and it did not prevent us from doing anything. It was as great a time as our family had on any of our trips and the host was as kind and informative as he could be.

    This was our second year staying at Blue Grotto with a group of 19 ranging in age from 3-72. The property is set up perfectly for multiple families with the 4 master bedrooms. The owners are very committed to providing a high quality house and rental experience. We were pleasantly surprised to see all of the upgrades they made since last year including new carpet, window treatments and sleeper sofas. There are a lot of small details throughout the property that make it a great fit - a standalone ice maker, two fridges, two dishwashers, tons of trash cans, frequent trash pickup, and two washers and dryers to name a few. The house has a great layout for a large group and the multiple covered patios are ideal. The dock is perfect and the location of the house in a peaceful cove with close proximity to Shanghai marina was perfect. We spent lots of time tubing, wake boarding and floating at the end of the dock. Like most houses at Norris, the walk down to the lake is a workout but this property has done as good as they can to make this work well between the steps and sloped walkway. Highly recommend this property!

    Overall the blue grotto was an amazing place for our family to gather! Everyone enjoyed the house, age 6 months to 70 years old.- The kitchen is a workhorse! Feeding our large family with multiple cooks round the clock was made easy by this well equipped kitchen. We especially loved the two dishwashers, ice machine, - As most reviews stated - the driveway is VERY steep. I would not feel comfortable driving this with rain or snow- The Hottub was green and had floating algae when we arrived. Property manager was very responsive, came over to shock the hot tub and left an additional shock. Ultimately it should have been drained and cleaned IMO. Even after the shock the water was green and cloudy and piece of algae floating around

    The house was beautiful. Lots of room for all 20 of us. The best house we’ve stayed in at Norris Lake. This was our fourth time. Views from deck were gorgeous. We spent most of our time on deck eating or playing games when we weren’t enjoying the water. s. Thought we were getting away from all the steps and would enjoy yard games but too steep. The driveway is also very steep and really can have only 5 cars as stated. As always a beautiful week with my family. Thank you to owners!!

    This property is well designed for multiple families to stay together. Our group of 19 people loved that each couple had their own master suite and the kids loved having a separate boy and girl bunk room. Additional details like two dishwashers, two washer/ dryer stations, a large open basement hangout space with ping pong, a large dock, tons of bathrooms and an ice maker also ensured the house worked well for our large group. We also loved the new outside patio furniture and the fact that the whole group could eat meals outside together. The layout of the house was perfect for our group. We also loved the location on the lake - great views, easy marina access (rented a boat from Shanghai) and the no wake zone allowed for lots of swimming and floating just off the dock. We look forward to coming back next year!

    We had a lovely week at Blue Grotto! We had 3 families, all with kids, so the extra space and 6 bedrooms were great. The kids loved that there was a boys and girls bunk room in the loft for them to have their own space. The kitchen was beautiful - brand new, and had all the supplies we could have needed. The outdoor space was awesome as well. The upper deck now has a seating area (not shown in the pictures), which was super comfortable. The adults spent most nights out there after kids were asleep. The proximity to Shanghai marina couldn't have been better and the cove was perfect for swimming. The steep driveway looked intimidating at first, but was completely manageable. We would absolutely stay here again upon a return trip to Norris Lake!
