Cara, thank you so much for staying with us at The Haven and for taking the time to leave such a wonderful 5-star review! Weâre so happy you enjoyed our home, the views, and your time on Norris Lake. And thank you for leaving The Haven in such immaculate condition... we truly appreciate it!
September is actually one of our favorite times of year to enjoy Norris Lake. đ The lake is quieter, the water is still wonderfully warm, the weather is beautiful, and you get to experience the incredible scenery without the summer crowds. It really is a special time to be here.
Weâd love to have you back again soon, Cara! Thereâs always another sunset, another quiet morning on the dock, and another perfect Norris Lake day waiting at The Haven. đđ -James @ The Haven Norris Lake
Celebrated my 50th birthday with a perfect stay on Norris Lake. House was beautiful and the lake was perfect! Thankfully I've been working out and my legs could handle the walk up and down to the lake! Lots of outdoor spaces, big dock, and everything you could need to enjoy the outdoors! The house was well stocked for us wannabe chefs, beds were comfortable, and we are all talking about coming back annually! We had a perfect spot, perfect weather, and a perfect clear (surprisingly warm) lake for swimming, paddling, and even a perfect belly smacker off the dock! It is a hike up from the lake, so keep that in mind!
HI Steph!
We absolutely loved reading your review and hearing how much your group enjoyed the house, dock, outdoor spaces, swimming, paddling, and even the âbelly smackerâ off the dock... that gave us a laugh! Weâre especially happy to hear the home had everything you needed for cooking, relaxing, and making unforgettable memories together. Nothing means more to us than hearing guests already talking about making The Haven an annual tradition. We have many that do!
One of the things that makes Norris Lake so breathtaking is its unique geography. Unlike many flat shoreline lakes, Norris is a crystal-clear mountain lake created by flooding river canyons, which gives it the incredible deep water, dramatic scenery, and stunning bluff views that guests fall in love with. Our property is actually considered one of the more gradual lake front walks on the main channel, featuring a series of 4â5 gradual steps and 2 wooden gangways originally designed by a previous owner for their elderly parents, rather than a steep staircase with 50 steps straight up. Most year-round deep-water homes on Norris have significantly steeper terrain than what guests experience here. For anyone wanting an easier option after a long lake day, guests can also drive the short driveway down closer to the lake access area and park nearby.
Weâre so grateful you chose The Haven for such an important celebration and would love to welcome you back again for your next Birthday!
Thank you Ashley for your 5 star review, Iâm so glad you both enjoyed spending your anniversary at The Haven Norris Lake! Our family also finds it such a special place to mark special occasions! Congrats and we hope to see you again in the near future!
All the best, James @ The Haven Norris Lake
It was a fantastic property and location on the lake. A bit far from civilization but we were told that in the description and messages from host. Highly recommend. Host was helpful and provided lots of info for us to take advantage of the area
Hi Sandy!
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We're really happy to hear you enjoyed the property and the peaceful vibe of Norris Lake. As you mentioned, as one of the premier Lakes in TN, voted Top 4 in the US by USA Today for swimming, itâs a little off the grid. Thatâs exactly what makes it such a special place to unwind, reconnect with nature, enjoy time on and off the water.
We always aim to give our guests plenty of helpful info ahead of time, like where to find the closest marinas, restaurants, and shopping⊠so you can relax and just enjoy your time here. Whether you're out on the lake or just kicking back on the 5-acre property, itâs all about slowing down and soaking it in.
Weâd love to welcome you back anytime! And for future guests browsing VRBO⊠if you're looking for a serene, scenic getaway on the lake, this is the perfect spot.
All the best, James @ The Haven

The house was great! The lake was little bit away but it was close enough to see and hear. Thank you so much for a wonderful week. It was great and quite.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your recent stay at The Haven Norris Lake TN! We appreciate your kind words and about the house and delighted that you had a great and quiet week with us! It is normal for all Norris Lake homes to have TVA frontage and our 5-acre bluff property is designed to take in the stunning lake and woodland views. We are thrilled that you took in the peaceful sounds and sights of the lake. Thank you again for choosing our property, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future.
We had a wonderful anniversary weekend at this beautiful home. Absolutely Perfect! So well appointed, designed, and accommodated!! Whether itâs just two or several people, the house will beautifully satisfy you very nicely. The hosts were so helpful and completely communicative! Canât wait to return!!
Thank you so much, Robert! Weâre honored you chose The Haven Norris Lake to celebrate such a special occasion and thrilled to hear it was âabsolutely perfectâ for your anniversary weekend! From cozy getaways for two to memory-making group stays, weâve designed the home to be both luxurious and welcoming no matter the season or group size.

For those reading Robertâs review: if you're looking for a serene escape with curated comfort, stunning lake views, and space to connect weâd love to host you next. Book your stay and experience the peace and beauty of The Haven for yourself!
Beautifully decorated and very clean! Loved the accommodations. Unfortunately, the lake water was so low that it was difficult walking over the rocks and up the plank to get onto our boat Thank you for sharing your home.
Hi Kathleen,
Thank you so much for your glowing 5-star review of The Haven Norris Lake! We truly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear you had a great stay with us!
However, I wanted to clarify one small detail in your review that might be helpful for future guests. We did notice you required mobility assistance from another person at all times on the property. You mentioned that there were rocks in the way of accessing the dock, but in fact, there arenât any rocks obstructing the path. Our year-round water access dock is accessible via a sandy shale shore with a 5-foot wooden ramp or one step up off-season, and during the season, it's directly accessible from the shoreline cement steps. We strive to ensure that all our guests have a smooth and comfortable experience, and we provide photos on our listing or additional ones upon request. While we understand your unique circumstances require mobility assistance, most of our guests, many of whom are in the mature age range, have found the access to be very self-manageable.
Thank you again for choosing The Haven, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay in the future!

The house is amazing. The area is amazing. Nice and quite beautiful place. If you want a very nice and clean house that has everything, this is the place to get away too. Just bring food and you are good to go. We stayed for a week to celebrate my b-day and it was perfect.

My family and I just loved this beautiful A-frame house on the lake. It was a perfect getaway during the holidays. The house was just like the pictures. Our host James was the best. We can't wait to come up during the spring or summer months.
Thank you so much Ty! You are a perfect guest! We enjoyed hosting your family for your special holiday on Norris Lake! We look forward to you visiting again soon! -James
House was spotless, had all necessities, roomy, beds were comfortable, bedding was soft, tons of chairs, tables and loungers t/o the inside and outside on deck, upper deck, small covered area outside kitchen, and another eating area at grill, deck on the way down to the lake and also on the dock. House was decorated nice. 2 bedrooms on main floor with a bathroom and the whole upstairs is an open loft set up as a bedroom with attached bathroom and sitting area and 2 additional twin beds. House is a not far walk to the lake compared to a lot of Norris houses. There is a short steep driveway (typical for the area) and a road between the house and lake; we only saw 3 cars in 6 days and we used the road for sports. Lake view is on a wide part of the lake and faces a huge island to explore with included kayaks. Has 1 jet ski dock and room to dock your boat and additional jet skis. Lake was low when we went in spring but it was still just as nice, just exposed rock and really more interesting; not muddy like some lakes. Plenty of firewood for the fire pit. In an isolated area with only one house near but they tended to blast music from outdoor speakers during day and evening which didnât bother us. We didnât have any issues and the whole process went smoothly.
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your stay at The Haven Norris Lake. We especially loved reading your comment that "we didn't have any issues and the whole process went smoothly," as providing a seamless and enjoyable guest experience is always our goal.
We're delighted that you found the home spotless, comfortable, well-appointed, and spacious, and that you enjoyed the many indoor and outdoor gathering areas, lake views, dock, kayaks, fire pit, and waterfront setting. It's also wonderful to hear that the comfortable beds, thoughtful furnishings, and numerous seating and dining areas throughout the property helped make your stay relaxing and enjoyable.
Thank you again for sharing your experience and for highlighting so many of the features that make The Haven Norris Lake a special place to stay.

My husband and I booked The Haven with friends who live across the country as a place to meet up, relax and spend some quality time together.
The house is beautiful with gorgeous views of the lake. We spent most of our time hanging on the dock, swimming in the lake and kayaking.
It was very peaceful and quiet as it is a pretty remote location.
We were impressed with the condition of the house as it seemed like new and was decorated beautifully. There were plenty of outdoor areas to eat and hang out as well as a beautiful indoor dining space.
I would recommend The Haven as a place to stay.
Hi Beth!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review of your stay at The Haven Norris Lake!

We take great pride in maintaining the house to a high standard and are glad that you found it to be in excellent condition and well-decorated. Your recommendation means the world to us, and weâre so happy The Haven provided the perfect spot for your reunion.
We would love to welcome you all back anytime for another getaway!
Live, Love, Laugh & Lake! All the best! James @ The Haven Norris Lake
The Haven was absolutely perfect for us! It was decorated so cute and comfortable, and most important (to me), it was super clean upon check-in! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook - the only thing I might suggest adding would be a griddle for pancakes :) Next time we'll likely bring more food to prep dinners there. As the owners mentioned, you are 30 minutes away from any restaurants or grocery stores. You can dine at marinas of course, but the house was so comfortable that we enjoyed eating there most nights. We used the grill and even had a campfire dinner one evening. We also appreciated the kayaks and used them daily. We would definitely stay at the Haven again - thank you!
We booked a 5 day stay at the lake house. We had everything we needed and more. The furnishings were artsy but practical and the kitchen had everything I needed! There were even some spices and cooking oil along with some water and a gift bottle of wine. The water was a bit cold but I swam every day and two of our friends tooled about in the kayaks. It is very quiet and we listened to birds and drank coffee in the mornings. My favorite parts of the property were the numerous places ( decks and such) where I could sit and read!
Hi Sandy!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of our family's vacation home, The Haven Norris Lake! We are delighted to hear that you had everything you needed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. It's great to know that you appreciated the artsy, yet practical furnishings and that the kitchen was well-equipped for your needs.
We're glad you made good use of the spices, cooking oil, and enjoyed the welcome bottle of wine. It sounds like you had a fantastic time swimming and kayaking, despite the lake still warming up mid-May.
We're especially happy to hear that you enjoyed the peace and quiet of the property, listening to the birds and savoring your morning coffee. The various sitting areas are indeed perfect for relaxing with a good book. In fact, we have tried to create numerous outdoor areas to do just that, so we are glad to find you thoroughly enjoyed!
Thank you once again for your kind words. We hope to welcome you back to The Haven at Norris Lake in the future!
All the best!

The Haven didnât disappoint!! A charming a-frame tucked away near the end of a back country road. We usually vacation on the coast, but we wanted to try something different and Norris lake fit the bill perfectly. The lake itself is gorgeous and surprisingly quiet; even on the weekend. We went swimming off the dock, cruised the lake, tried a little fishing and had a few meals at Bubba Brews. Mostly, we enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing nature of this beautiful home. The Haven was very clean, comfortable and accommodating!! We look forward to coming back in the future when we can spend more time.
