If you like Camping then you will enjoy The Owl House. If you like screened in porches with a water view then you have 2 to choose from. The Owl House is perfectly located in between Stardust Marina & Sequoyah Marina. Stardust definitely gets my vote for staff, entertainment & food!!! Their Fireworks display was top notch-canât wait until next year!
The cottage is old with cool history!!! It is very airy like sleeping outdoors but out of the elements! Everything is there that you need- chairs, laundry, water toys, awesome screened in porch. Walking distance to marina and water (bring beach shoes for stones) beautiful waters though!! The owners communication is the best I have ever come across in all my rentals!!
We have stayed here multiple times. I always look forward to sleeping in the outdoor room. Our group loves sitting on the screened in porch. The neighborhood is fantastic for taking a walk. Loads of deer every night. Only upgrade I want to see is a small shade for the far right window of the outdoor bedroom to block the street light one road away. Itâs our annual place to stay at the lake. Great get away.
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.
We enjoyed our short getaway from the crowds and traffic of Nashville. It was a very cozy and comfortable cabin with a great view of the lake from the screened in porch. I thoroughly enjoyed eating on the porch or just sitting and relaxing. The walk to the lake was short and the directions for access were easy to follow. My daughter and I walked along the shore for some time. The sleeping porch was also very nice. It was huge and we enjoyed hearing the night sounds. The history of the alphabet cabin was also interesting. It is truly a lake cottage so don't expect fancy, it's provides low key comfort and privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and very nice. The kitchen is small but well stocked. The owners communicated so well and that was appreciated. We spent one day exploring Norris Dam State Park and area and another day at downtown Clinton at the Antique festival. There were other places nearby that we did not have time to visit because I loved hanging out at the cabin. If there was one thing that I would want them to add, it would be a fire pit. Otherwise, we loved it.
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.
Very, very relaxing stay with plenty of room for everyone... screened in porches were awesome. Hosts were quick to answer any questions and immediately addressed a concern with personal follow-up. Will be back...
Place was very close to the lake and also to Sequoia Marina which was nice but the online photos showed a boat dock which we thought we would have access to from at the property but unfortunately that was not the case? We expected to be on the older side but was very disappointed in how outdated and unclean the place actually was. Dust, cobwebs, spiders and bugs all over inside and the floors were so dirty. The bathroom sink and shower was also very dirty. In the living room we were afraid to sit on the outdated very dirty couch that had a slip cover over it so we would sit at the kitchen table in a couple of the wooden chairs (each chair had a fancy skeleton skull design on them).
The outside porch was where we spent the majority of our time while during our time there in a couple of lawn chairs that we had to clean off before we could sit down because they were covered in dirt as well.
On a positive note the land was beautiful with trees and nature all around in which we saw some deer. The neighborhood was nice as well.
A kind suggestion would be to hire a better cleaner and definitely upgrade to a newer couch/furniture that makes your guests feel welcome.
Nice quiet neighborhood. Loved the screen porch. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was small but clean. Great place to walk down to the lake shore. We all enjoyed our stay.
This is a sweet property setting .Loved the nature feel. Lots of birds to hear on the wonderful screened in porch. This is a great place for family . We enjoyed each night playing board games with kids. Host was great meet any needs.
We stayed at the Owl House last weekend while we were in town for a wedding. We really enjoyed it! Owner was spot-on on the description. My husband and I slept on the king bed on the covered screened porch. It was so relaxing and enjoyed it very much! It brought me back to my childhood when I used to visit my grandparent's river house as a child! The Owl House is a true treasure!
First, the âheadline read Cabin ON Norris Kake. In fact the cabinwas Not on the lake, across he road from he lake He describing Alâs referred to a âviewâ of the lake bu this was deception even also because there we so many trees across the street that it onl allowed for âpeek a booâ tiny view. There was not a working air conditioner, it was on the ; the overhead fan would only work on slow speed and rhe third fan would not work at all. This was particularly important because the master room was particularly important because it was very warm outside. There was also a screen that had come loose and needed repair which allowed for bugs to come in. My daughter was bitten by something during the night. The running water was not clear and was milky looking. So we bought bottled water; if there was a reasonabl explanation, the owner should have alerted the guests. Also there was a large concrete slab between the kitchen and living room which was ugly and made no sense; it was there in the middle
of regular flooring. Every
Enjoyed our stay in this charming country cottage. The house is old, but definitely adds to its character. Easy to come & go to Sequoyah Marina where we rented our boat. Screened in porch bedroom is just like glancing. đ
My family has owned a cottage on Persimmon Road since the 1950s. When Owl House went up for sale, we bought it to accommodate our growing family of grandchildren!
