About this property

Bottoms Up' New listing located next to famous 'jumping bridge'

This beautiful cabin located in view of the famous jumping bridge has an enormous double decker dock, private hot tub, lanai, and large decks overlooking the lake. A fully equipped kitchen overlooks the dining room and large great room.

The master bedroom is conveniently located on the main level. Up one level is bedrooms #3 & #4. Bedroom number #2 is up another level.Down one level from the main level is bedrooms #5 & #6. This level sports another TV room and the spectacular bar with billiard table. One more deck down is the private hot tub. Yes there is a hot tub. ** we change the water between each rental***

The awesome double decker dock has dual covered slips, a kids slide, and so much room that you can play games up there. Seriously, bring your corn hole game. This entire dock is yours and directly in front of your home. *Yes the dock HAS a slide. During normal summer water level, there are approximately 60 steps to climb from the dock to the home. This is far below average for Norris Lake with private docks.

Idle your boat for 10 seconds and you are staring at the famous jumping bridge. It is so close that you can paddle there yet far enough that you can't hear all the fun.

No boat? No worries! Simply call NorrisLakeWaterSports (ask for ‘10% Bertke discount’) or OasisNorrisLake. Both deliver right to your dock. Nearby Sugar Hollow marina, Shanghai marina, Springs Dock offer daily/weekly boat rentals.

This neighborhood has a small, free, community pool with kiddie pool 1/3 mile from the cabin up a very steep street. . It is clean but nothing fancy. There are no life guards or concessions. You don't need a pass. Free parking is available.

NOTES: *****Bottoms Up is located in a gated community. You must be minimum 28 years of age to rent this cabin. << This is STRICTLY enforced*****

Great Location
We had a great week in Bottoms Up! We loved the location-close to the jumping bridge and Sugar Hallow but in a quiet cove. We loved all the amenities-hot tub, pool table, double decker dock with a slide, etc. This was our first visit to Norris Lake and we can’t wait to come back!

Family Thanksgiving
This was a a Thanksgiving trip for me and my family. This cabin was perfect for us in size. We all came from different states to be together. We were surprised to not have good cellular service even with the Wi-Fi access. We was also surprised to only have two TVs in the entire cabin. It is very difficult getting in and out of the driveway. But this cabin is beautiful. We loved the hot tub, wetbar, and the pool table. There are awesome views of the lake from any of the three balconies. This is a great vacation getaway for a large family .

Once a year we get together and this was a great spot for fishing, hanging out and visiting. My son even caught a 20 pound catfish from the dock

Norris Lake
Norris Lake is amazing regardless. But the property was very outdated and kitchen was poorly stocked. Only provided 4 steak knives, etc. there wasn’t an ice machine which has proven very useful for being on the lake. There also weren’t any board games for the kids. The air conditioning was amazing and the deck slide amazing. But caution on the deck it needs work and is slippery with moss overgrowth.

Great Location
Staying at Lakeside Estates is our favorite location on the lake and close to our favorite marinas. The communication was stellar for this property. We had several issues pop up (wrong code, AC issues, hot tub not clean/broken) and all were immediately addressed and maintenance was there very quickly. The home could benefit from a few updates cosmetically but overall we really enjoyed our week at Norris at this location.

Why they chose this property

They say 'location' means everything. 'Bottoms Up' is 7 minutes from the city of Lafollette, 5 minutes from the main road, inside a gated community, right on the water's edge, 1/3 mile from boat ramp, and almost in sight of the famous jumping (No. You cannot actually hear the bridge people.)

What makes this property unique

Double decker dock w/ kids slide, hot tub, community pool, lanai, fire pit.....
