Here at Suits Us Fine, natural light warms the two story great room with floor to ceiling, lake-facing windows. An expansive and well-stocked kitchen with a big island also offers a large counter bar peninsula for serving and additional seating. Near the three-sided decorative fireplace beyond the large dining area, an enclosed three season porch opens to the great room and the full width main level deck.

The master bedroom on the main level also offers a private walk-out to its own decked balcony with a gorgeous lake view, as well as an adjoining newly-renovated bath with walk-in shower and convenient first floor laundry room. Downstairs, two full updated baths are conveniently located for everyone coming up from the lake after a great day on the water, and serve the three bedrooms on the lower level as well.

All kinds of cozy nooks and unique spaces make this a fun house to explore and settle into. An awesome new game room with a beverage refrig provides a fun hang-out spot for everyone rain or shine, while the lower level family room offers another gathering area with walk-out doors to enjoy the patio and expanded lower deck with its panoramic lakeview, adirondack chairs, fire table, cornhole set, covered grill stand, outdoor wicker couches and chairs with comfy cushions, dining table, deck swing for two and the new 6- person hot tub with bluetooth speakers.

A circle driveway provides ideal parking for as many as 10-12 vehicles, and the outdoor firepit on the gravel landing adds to the outdoor fun. Parking on the low traffic street above the driveway is also available for 3-4 additional vehicles and watercraft / ATV trailers.

Take the stairs to the lake, or meander on the gravel path at the end of the circle drive down to the 5' wide steps to the lakefront dock. The large platform dock offers a ladder and room enough to pull up additional watercraft on either side. There, you'll open your stay to the relaxation of hanging out on the dock with its own table, , enjoy the free kayaks, or launch your way out to every water adventure on Norris Lake you can imagine! While the main channel view is stunning, there's just enough of a cove to provide safety for those who'd just like to float around or watch the kids splash in the water.

Owners have purchased and totally renovated "Suits Us Too" (vrbo # 3001464) as a companion home right next door on another 2 acres. It will feature a brand new covered dock, 6 bedrooms and 5 full baths, and will be able to accommodate another 22 guests - reserve both for your larger group and family gatherings, sleeping up to 45 together.

Book with us, and we'll also provide a suggested packing list, floorplans and sleeping arrangement diagrams, vacation guidebook to the cabin AND surrounding lake and area attractions, as well as Norris Lake maps and marina guide.

Saturday (3 pm) to Saturday (10 am) only in prime summer season, and primary minimum renter age is 26. Split Firewood is available onsite for purchase via QR code, stacked by the inviting stone built fire pit off the gravel path.

Bring your own boats and jet skis, or rent ours. We have a 21' Crownline open bow ski boat (seats 7), a 25' Avalon tritoon (seats 16 with 150 hp), a 21' Harris tritoon (seats 11-12 with 150 hp) are available for rent in-season. Any of these are available along with included life jackets and lake toys, delivered to the marina, dock and/or jet ski ports upon your arrival, or meet us at the nearby launch.. Restrictions on age (26 or older) and minimum days rented w/o a delivery fee do apply. Operating instructions, safety training manual, and check-in / check-out in person with the dock guy are mandatory. Ask for more details, we're happy to provide - First come, first reserved!

There's also a nearby skiing course for learners, and several of the lake's best marinas are close by, including Whitman Hollow, Sequoiah, Stardust and Twin Cove. Closest boat launch would be at Whitman Hollow Marina

Best transportation is by car on land, but to navigate the lake, boats and jet skis work best - although we do suggest bringing your own paddle boards, kayaks or tubes to just enjoy floating around. But around the property, feel free to walk or hike, enjoying the natural beauty and low-traffic area near the lake!

Peaceful and relaxing home away from home
My family (there were 10 of us) stayed here for spring break this year. We were looking for a place that had plenty of space that we weren't on top of each other and then wanted the ability to have some good scenery, this place was definitely it!! Had no issues with communications during the booking or even after check-in for a couple of minor questions. We were there just before boating season so the boats weren't out (there was still an option to rent for one of the local marinas) but there were a couple of kayaks on the dock so those were fun and also had the hot tub the kids enjoyed. It's not a place you want to stay if you want to go in and out of town (my opinion) it's a good 30 minutes to get to anywhere (unless you want to spend a lot of time in the car). Went to Cove Lake state park which was beautiful and also ate at the restaurant there so I would recommend that for sure. Otherwise just hang out the house and chilling was what we did. Sitting out on the back deck watching the water never got old. My only recommendations would be some clear instructions on how the stove works, I had never used an induction cooktop before LOL, as well as it would be nice for some type of light at the top of the driveway as it's crazy dark at night and hard to see turning into the drive that first time. Would definitely return!

Norris trip 2023
According to the pictures, there was a path going down the side and we had someone in a wheelchair. We could not get him down so we had to drive to a Dock to get him on. The boat steps were horrible, but a lot of them were everything else was fine. Very pretty there .

Perfect for family gathering
We had a surprise birthday party for my wife here that went quite well. Lots of room and love proximity to the lake. And the lake was marvelous - the hit of the party - so remarkably clean and clear.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Sturm Rental Manager

Host profile image
Tom and Judy Sturm own and manage Tennessee Home Finders LLC in La Follette Tn, a full service real estate brokerage specializing in lake homes, lots, new construction as well as licensed vacation rental management. We live full time in Cincinnati, and like you - we find ourselves extremely busy with work, school, church and sports - but always ready for a getaway!

We absolutely love the time we spend on Norris Lake. Whether it's a week in the summer or an off season getaway; just a night gazing at the stars or an action packed lake day, every moment is a memory-maker. Not only do we love the lake life - we love sharing it with friends and family, guests and clients.

Tennessee Home Finders is so pleased to have made the addition of Suits Us Fine as our tenth managed property at Norris Lake in 2022 with the new owners, joining a great collection of our other managed lakefront homes and getaways.


Why they chose this property

Immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, updated throughout and ready for your group or family gathering.

While we have loved beach trips and traveling afar, Norris Lake is hardly a secret anymore - combining the best of lake fun, natural beauty, and lots to do on and off the water - conveniently only 4 hours away from Cincinnati. It is a place where family and friends have come together to unwind, relax together and have a ton of fun.

Ideal outdoor entertaining includes the upper level deck stretches the width of the lakeside of the house, lower deck and patio with a brand new 6-person hot tub that has just been placed into service in the fall of 2022 (completely drained, cleaned and re-filled between rentals, with chemicals and test strips provided to maintain), and a picnic table for 6 on the dock, plus woodsy covered front porch surrounded by gardens and a gravel path

kayaks, paddles and life jackets ... for free!
