Cedar Creek Inn TN, Norris Lake, waterfront, Deerfield, covered dock, quiet cove

We wanted to surprise our family at Christmas and the host was gracious and accommodated us last minute. They even brought some additional items to the house that we had forgotten. The home was clean, very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything that we needed. We will definitely return again.

Spacious property but the listing was inaccurate. There was no hot tub, just a jacuzzi bath tub. Guests are expected to bring their own bath towels, wash clothes, and kitchen wash clothes. Coffee pot was broken. No coffee filters available. Acorns in the couch and bedding of one of the downstairs bedrooms. Accommodated our party just a little disappointing for the expectation and price.

We loved this vacation home with easy access to the lake from a private, covered dock, although there were a LOT of stairs to and from the house/dock. Yet, the quiet cove provided a great place for the toddlers and kids to swim and fish onsite. The home was very clean and the host provides grocery pick-up/put away service the day of arrival. WELL worth the money and super convenient to have everything there upon arrival. Additionally, the home was well stocked with plenty of pots/pans, dishes, etc.We will return - we had an amazing time on our lake vacation!

Cedar Creek Inn was an absolute treasure. Our large family felt safe and relaxed in this nestled gem along a quiet cove. Deer would walk through the yard much to the children’s delight. The home was very clean and well stocked. They even had a grocery service that would pick up your grocery order and stock for you! The only negative is the stairs to the water, which total about 160. This wasn’t an issue for us but, if your family has someone less mobile, you could always have them drive to the marina at the resort and pick them up from the dock so they can avoid the stairs. Overall, if you’re looking at this place and it’s available, book it!

Overall, the lake and cove were beautiful—perfect for swimming and relaxing outdoors. However, the house itself could use some updates and attention to detail. The kitchen lacked sufficient cookware and utensils, and the coffee pot had mold. The beds were uncomfortable, and some of the blankets were dirty. Only one room had a TV, and the living room didn’t offer smart features, which made rainy days less enjoyable.The dock was a great spot to hang out and swim, but it could benefit from some maintenance and cleaning. Also, be aware that the property involves a lot of steps and is quite remote—there are no nearby towns for shopping, dining, or groceries.Check-in is strictly at 4 PM, and unfortunately our rental wasn’t fully cleaned until 5.

Overall the house is very clean. Property owners arranged for extra trash bags, laundry pods to do a few loads of laundry as well as dishwasher tabs. Plenty of soap to wash dishes and sponges. On the bathrooms extra rolls of toilet paper, hand soaps and extra toothbrush if you forgot yours. BUY GROCERY BEFORE YOU GET TO HOUSE. As far as outside the property. The driveway angle to turn in takes some getting used to. It’s easier if you back in. We had kayaks on our roof. If we had a trailer it would’ve been harder to get trailer in. Along driveway it appears the renovation hasn’t been completed as far as lights along the retaining wall. There are still electrical wires hanging out. The decks were spacious and clean. Plenty of seating. We came during a heat wave so they were hot to use during the day. The walk down was no problem for anyone in our party. We planned ahead and took things down. There are as many steps as advertised. The stairs leading down could use some work. Plenty of splinters were acquired while holding onto handrail. Several loose banisters and posts. Along the pathway are several areas of poison ivy and bushes that ticks held onto. The area around the dock if you step to the side where rocks are it is the same story poison ivy everywhere. The actual dock walking surface is good however the metal supporting it has several rusted spots and rusted nails. Also NO ELECTRICITY AT DOCK. Cove area was amazing! Quiet and safe. Floated for hours!

This was a great house for me and my friends to come enjoy Norris Lake for a long weekend. Everything was as exactly as described, no surprises. Lori was great to communicate with and very nice. Would definitely stay again and recommend to anyone.

House was nice, and it was clean. We found everything one would need, as everyone else commented the steps were a killer if your older (I'm 65). Guess I'm out of shape. Owners responded in a timely fashion.

The property was clean, and Sherri had provided excellent instructions for checking in. The dock was large and covered. There are a lot of steps to the dock but that is fairly normal at the lake and did not bother us. Overall, it was a very enjoyable family trip. Thanks!

Great. However the 150 plus steps were exhausting after a long day on the lake and playing hard.
