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 grandchildren & 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 2024, we finally got approval from TVA for our dock and mooring buoy. Mooring buoy is in place and useable to lake level of 1012 ft. Full pond for Norris Lake is1020ft and normally stays near that until late August. A small dock is afloat as of April 2025. We are still working on the ramp and offshore anchoring which should be complete in May 2025.

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. Weekly and monthly rates available.

    Was expecting to be right on the water, but it was only a few seconds of a drive, so not bad at all! Loved the house, would stay again!

    We was allowed to bring the dogs. It was right down from the lake and very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

    Beautiful historic property. Recommend updating pictures and directions to boat dock. Very peaceful. Very pleasant seeing deer in yard every day. Friendly neighborhood. One suggestion is to put up an antenna so people can watch live TV also.

    This is a comfy, pet friendly home in a beautiful location. We sat on the screened in porch as several deer passed through the yard and enjoyed our kayaks from the small dock on the lake. We will definitely be back!

    The Owl House has a great front porch that we watched hundreds of deers from. We saw a scunk. The beach area is very nice. One could walk or drive to it. It's nice because it has great trees for shade but yet a sunny beach with dock. The location of the rental is not far from town. The rental is not directly on the lake and the lake view is very limited. The rental was not clean with mouse turds in the drawers, very messy and unorganized. The floor was very dirty. Stove top and oven were dirty, toys just thrown in a corner by a tv that didn't have volume. I wouldn't stay again because of the cleanliness but I will give the deer and beach access a 10.

    1. no key or lockbox found as stated on the web, found an open door.2. Beds are too short - feet hang over the edge.3. The smell was ungodly, possibly mold - home homeowner said it was just from being closed up all winter.4. The wall in the kitchen was disconnected - looks like the stove was the only thing holding it up.5. The dock they show in pix isn't what you get. 6. Pix makes property look close to the water - it isn't.
