Rural Area Note:

**Seasonal Note**
Lake season runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day, when marinas operate on regular hours and water levels are ideal for boating. In spring, fall, and winter, the weather and lake is beautiful but the water is colder and often lower in our cove, which may make dock tie-up difficult.

The closest boat launch is Sugar Hollow Marina, and local boat rentals are available nearby.

Relax and unwind!

We had a relaxing stay! While the weekend got a little busy, we found that week days on the lake, and at the cabin were quiet and peaceful. We rented a boat from the Sugar Hollow Marina and were very pleased to discover how close by it was. The dock and the deck were wonderful places to hang out and enjoy the lake and the views. Thanks for sharing this special home.

Wonderful little place!

This was the perfect setting for 4 days of pure bliss and relaxation. The house is absolutely adorable, views stunning, accessible stairs that weren’t too awful to get down to the very nice little dock. Every meal was had on the deck listening to the sounds of nature in all its glory. There were some issues with a couple outlets ceasing to work but plenty of power strips to accommodate. Maybe more than one dish towel & dishcloth for the kitchen would be nice but, overall I would 100% stay here again. This time it was myself and my bestie but looking to next summer for myself, my daughter, and my niece. If you’re looking for privacy, stunning views, and cozy accommodations, this is it! 5⭐️

Long Weekend Stay

My wife and I came for a long boating getaway. The house was comfortable and perfect for what we were looking for. The driveway and parking isn't ideal, doable but tight for my truck to pull in and turn around. Not a reason to avoid the property however, just something to know. The house had a great deck, we cooked out a couple of times. The morning was fantastic, we sat out on the dock and watched the bass jump all over the water as the morning got started. I paddle boarded up and down the cover and enjoyed the peaceful location. Overall a good experience that we enjoyed a great deal. I will say the only downside were the neighbors next door. They have 2 large dogs that bark at everything. I heard them in the 6am hour as well as into the late night when the family left for dinner and left them outside on the back deck. They were nice people but not very accommodating with keeping their dogs quiet. The barking took away from the enjoyment of the cove, our personal time was constantly interrupted by the barking.

Weekend Getaway

It was a very pleasant experience with a beautiful view with great access to the lake. The neighborhood was quite and peaceful with quick acceas to Norris Dam. Peoperty was amazing. All utensils were available in the Kitchen. The grill outside was great. We really enjoyed the lakeside dock and hammock. The beatles theme was great. Enjoyed the record player as well. Although the Kayak sat one person, it was sturdy enough for a beginner. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Would stay again

Wonderful, peaceful, beautiful getaway!

A Hard Day's Night is even cuter than the pictures show. It is the perfect place for a getaway! The view from every room of the cabin is beautiful with the water in view! The dock is sturdy and lovely to sit on and enjoy fishing, sunning, or reading and listening to the birds. The house was very clean and extremely comfortable. I highly recommend this house and we will definitely stay here again if we are in the area in the future.

Great Norris Lake cottage

My wife and I stayed at A Hard Day’s Night for a few nights. It is a nice one bedroom, two full baths house/cottage right on the water. It was very clean with a lot of nice touches and plenty of outdoor deck and dock space. We had some rough weather one evening and the owner of the house checked up on us to make sure we were ok. We appreciated that. We would come back again for sure when we are back at Norris lake.

Great deck area by the house and boat dock area. Enjoyed the firepit down by the water! There are steps from the boat dock to house, but very typical of Norris Lake. They were well lit at night and in great condition. (steps & dock)

Cozy and charming

This is such a charming place that reminds me of my favorite coffee shop back home! We had a nearby family event and preferred to have more space than a hotel room could offer to us with 2 kids under 2! The upstairs space had plenty of room for multiple pack n’ plays. The deck was a great large space to enjoy the view of the lake. I especially loved that there were 2 bathrooms—very convenient to have one on each level! We struggled to get the upstairs to cool off on the first night, but the host was very easy to contact and she worked hard to make sure we’d be comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and will recommend it to others!

Great location. Remote yet close enough to town for groceries and/or restaurants. Stayed here during a business trip so I didn’t get to enjoy the lake but I will return! The deck and dock are awesome! Interior is clean and updated with everything you’d need and more. Great communication from owners. I’ll be back!

You must experience this little slice of heaven.

Everything was great! Communication, house, lake, etc. Whoever does your cleaning needs a bonus. It was flawless right down to the extrrior garbage cans. The house was cold including the second floor loft. The beds were so comfortable. If you have never stayed in the same room but in a different bed then your husband you must try it! Kitchen had everything, grill was easy to use, We will stay again such a relaxing, fun, family trip. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us.
