Seeuferhaus bei Summer Breeze mit privatem Steg und Kajaks

Listing Description:
Lakefront home in a quiet no-wake cove behind Straight Creek Boat Dock, with a short, gentle walk to its own private dock. Three bedrooms sleep 6 (a king and two queens), each with its own full bath, plus a half bath, hot tub, covered patio, fire pit and a Weber grill (we provide the propane). Covered boat slip, swim ladder and four kayaks. Fiber Wi-Fi and Samsung Smart TVs, about 40 minutes from downtown Knoxville. The White house next door sleeps 9 if you are bringing a bigger group.

The Space:
THE HOUSE
Spacious kitchen with both a standard coffee maker and a K-Cup brewer, dishwasher, large fridge, stove, over-the-range microwave, toaster, blender and a large kitchen table. Three bedrooms, each with its own full bath: one king and two queens. Half bath off the living room, washer and dryer. Samsung Smart TVs throughout (sign in to your own streaming apps; there is no cable) and fiber Wi-Fi. Covered patio with outdoor seating and dining, hot tub, Weber gas grill (we supply the propane), fire pit (we supply the firewood) and cornhole boards.

GETTING TO THE WATER
A short walk down a very slight slope to the dock, much gentler than most of Norris Lake.

KAYAKS
Four kayaks with paddles are included, racked near the dock; you can launch them from the shore even when the dock is not floating. Please return them to the rack after use. We do not supply life jackets, so bring your own.

DOCK & WATER
The house has its own private dock with a swim ladder and a covered slip for your boat. Our rental pontoon usually sits on the outer edge of the dock, and if you are bringing your own boat, tell us ahead and we will clear the slip. The dock has no power. The house sits in a long no-wake cove behind Straight Creek Boat Dock, about a 15-minute idle to the main channel. Like most of Norris Lake, the water level is set by TVA, and this cove is seasonal water: in a normal year the dock floats from May through about the end of August, and a drought year can end that sooner. When the dock is not floating, we arrange slips at Straight Creek Marina, on the next road over, for you to use at no charge.

BOATS & TRAILERS
Straight Creek Boat Dock, on the next road over, is the closest place to launch, and your trailer can stay at the house. The road in is narrow and curvy in places, so take it slowly when towing.

PONTOON RENTALS
$325 per day plus a $50 insurance fee and tax, delivered to the dock with a full tank. Book online at least a week ahead to guarantee delivery (the link is in your booking messages). Operators need a valid boater's license or a birth date before January 1, 1989. Boats stay in after dark (insurance rule) and come back with a full tank. Adult life jackets are included; bring kids' sizes.

TUBES & LILY PADS
Two-person tubes ($60 per day) and 15 x 6 ft floating lily pads ($40 per day) can be added to any stay. Reserve a week ahead and they will be at the house when you arrive.

Guest Access:
The whole house is yours. Up to 4 cars, and your boat trailer can stay at the house. One covered slip at the dock is yours.
