American Spirit --August 23-29 OPEN with 4 night minimum! Gentle Slope to Water

American Spirit--9 Spacious Bedrooms, 8 full baths, 2 half baths, sleeps 33. Great place to spend your vacation with family and friends for lasting memories. Extra Large Kitchen and Dining room will accommodate your whole group.
Multi-Family Vacation At It's Best!! GREAT LOCATION! Quiet Cove, Big Water with Low Boat Traffic. Sleeps 33! 9 bedroom, 10 bath, American Spirit was built in 2018 and is located near one of the most popular areas of the lake known as "The Horseshoe" right at the entrance to the Powder Mill Cove area and near The Peninsula. Secluded, yet so close to great water for boating, skiing, tubing, and wakeboarding. If you have ever been to Norris Lake and love water sports, you probably have been to this area. The closest marina is Springs Dock. AmSpirit has a gentle sloping driveway with an abundance of parking for cars and boat trailers. Also gentle slope to water. Managed by Norris Lake Properties. Ask About Off Season Discounts For 3 or More Nights! Excludes Holidays.
New Hot Water System and Pressure Tank Installed July 2021.
American Spirit has year-round, deep water and docking in its mini cove for ease of boating even after swimming season is over. When TVA drops the water level in the lake, no need to worry about losing the convenience of boating and hanging out on the extra large dock. Enjoy the beauty of the water and mountains year-round!
Amazing Lakefront home with private double decker dock with slide, 9 bedrooms, 10 baths, sleeps 33, three levels, large kitchen and dining area, vaulted ceiling, expansive windows, and spacious living areas are just a few of the features you will enjoy. The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking and cleaning up after a large group of 33 guests. In the upper level, the two full size refrigerators, two dishwashers, two ovens/stovetops, two microwaves, and two of almost everything else makes cooking a pleasure and not a pain. And, there is a third refrigerator in the lower level! The Dining Room is large enough for the whole group as well. How nice that everyone can eat together. Two large dining tables and kitchen bar seating together seat 30. The covered deck off the dining room seats another 12 and has a large propane grill. Each of the three levels has a spacious living room and deck which gives everyone plenty of room to spread out and have some privacy.
The main level is an open plan and has two bedrooms, each with a king bed and private bath and TV, as well as a half bath off the living room area. The kitchen and dining room are also on the main level along with the large deck.
The middle level has a living room surrounded by four bedrooms. The laundry is on the middle level and another large deck. Two of these bedrooms have King beds (one with a twin bunk as well) and two have queen beds plus Twin/Full bunks.
The lower level has three more bedrooms each with a private bath and king or queen beds with a couple sets of bunks as well. The game room with air hockey, foosball, and shuffleboard is sure to entertain. The lower level deck has a hot tub and access to the fire pit and lake.
American Spirit is a perfect house for multi-family vacationing or corporate rewards trip. Any large group will enjoy the amenities this home has to offer. Schedule your next retreat in the Fall and enjoy the turning of the leaves and visit Pigeon Forge for Shows and Shopping only 90 min. away and take advantage of the discounted rates. A golf outing is great for Fall as well with many local golf courses in the area from which to choose.
Bring your own boat or rent one from Norris Lake Water Sports and they will deliver it right to your private dock at American Spirit. That is convenience!!

Supplies:
Your vacation home will have a starter roll of toilet paper in the bathrooms. You are responsible to bring toilet paper and other paper products during your stay. Plan to bring all supplies that are disposable or consumable that you will need. Including dish soap & tabs, trash bags, cleaning & laundry soaps, bath soaps, toilet paper, paper towels, etc.
Noise Ordinance:
Be respectful of your neighbors! All outdoor noise after 11:00 PM should be kept to a minimum.
Septic System: Please do NOT flush anything except toilet paper down the toilets. Any other products, facial tissues, paper towels, feminine protection of any type will clog the septic system. A clogged septic system becomes very uncomfortable fairly quickly for everyone in your party.
Trash Removal:
Do NOT Block Trash Cans. All trash must be bagged and placed in your trash cans outside your vacation home and tightly secure the lid. Due to the hungry nature of raccoons and other wild animals, do not allow containers to overflow or leave full trash bags sitting outside the trash containers. Full & tied trash bags will be picked up periodically throughout the week. You must bring your own trash bags.
Insects:
Though all of our vacation homes are sprayed regularly by a professional pest control company, ladybugs, wasps, and other insects sometimes visit the premises. In the event our guests discover a major infestation, notify the guest coordinator.
Hot Tubs:
It is important to note that certain health risks are associated with the use of a hot tub. It is the responsibility of the registered guest to inform anyone using the hot tub during their stay of the potential hazards. Prior to using hot tub, wash off all suntan lotion, clay, mud, gravel etc. from your person. Do not add water or chemicals to hot tub—contact guest coordinator if you feel this is needed. Beware, hot tub covers are for insulation purposes and will not support a person. DO NOT STAND OR SIT ON HOT TUB COVERS, they will break, possible injuring someone, and you will be charged for its replacement. Keep covers closed while not in use. We will make every effort to ensure the hot tub is working properly, however, if it is temporarily out of order, renters are not entitled to a refund. Use Hot Tubs at your own Risk.
Pet Policy--NO Pets are allowed.
Pets found in or on the premises without that being part of the contract is reason for immediate eviction and cause forfeiture of the security deposit and the rental fee for the remainder of the trip.
Remove Shoes:
Please remove dirty shoes before entering the home. The “Tennessee clay” is harmful to the floors.
No Smoking Policy:
No smoking of any kind whatsoever shall take place inside our properties. Any smoking within the properties is reason for immediate eviction and causes forfeiture of the security deposit and/or entire rental fee.
Telephone & Internet Service—Electricity—Satellite TV:
Any interruption of electric or satellite service caused by weather or other reasons unforeseen by NLP, does not constitute grounds for a refund. Please call the Guest Coordinator if problems arise and we will try to respond quickly. Do not disconnect or rearrange any wiring to or from the TV.
Gas Grills:
Gas grills and LP gas are provided for your use. If you run out of gas, please contact the guest coordinator. Please clean off the grill and put the cover down if there is one to keep the grill in good working order, and empty the grease pan after every use to prevent overflow onto the deck.
Furniture:
Do not rearrange furniture in the home. Most damage occurs during moving things around. Do not take inside furniture outside or bring outside furniture inside.
Fireworks:
Fireworks are not permitted in or around any rental homes.
Locked Closets:
Locked closets, cabinets and dock storage are for owners use only. Do not attempt to open them.
Maintenance:
NLP and the property owners do everything possible to keep all equipment in good working order. However, it is impossible to guarantee that all appliances, hot tubs, hot water heaters, etc. will be working 100% of the time. We do strive to correct deficiencies as soon as possible. Report all maintenance problems to the guest coordinator. Do not attempt to fix anything yourself, however, please take reasonable action to secure the problem as not to incur any more unnecessary damage.
Air Conditioning:
Setting the thermostat below 70 degrees does not cool the house quicker and tends to freeze up the unit preventing the air conditioning from working at all for a day or two.
Refrigerator:
Please be patient when expecting the refrigerator to have everything cold that you brought with you. It can take up to 24 hours for the refrigerator to recover from being filled.

We have been coming to Norris Lake for 20 years and this was one of our favorite houses. The house size and layout was perfect for our extended family and the location on the lake was perfect. We would gladly stay here again in the future.

Our church small group of 16 has stayed at Norris Lake every year for 8 years. We were looking for a home that met our standards and was not as steep of an incline to the water, and American Spirit checked all our boxes!

The house was as advertised! Plenty of room for our family of 24. The house if in great condition and well kept by the owners. If there was anything to improve upon, it would be the gravel road leading to the house (obviously not the owner's fault). Would highly recommend this house to large families looking for a great vacation spot in the Lake Norris area.

The property was so clean and well prepared for our stay. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The double-decker dock was our favorite part and we spent most of the time out there jumping off and using the slide. Fire pit and hot tub were awesome! We would definitely stay again!

We were very happy with the house, America Spirit. There were more than ample dishes and kitchen utensils for large groups. The access to the water was very easy to get to, esp. for us old people. Everyone had a great time! Thank you

We used this home to host our group of church ladies for a retreat. The house was well stocked and clean. The dock was a nice place to sit and a few even used the slide on the dock. It was quite a drive to reach the home, but we felt it was worth it.

Great location on a cove. Had some water issues at the house. Owner was responsive and fix was done Monday morning

We had a fantastic stay at American Spirit. Big house, plenty of room for all 18 of our grandkids and parents. Love the lake and the dock. No cell service given the hills and location, but wifi worked well for everyone. Very isolated at the end of the road, but that ensured no one snooping around. Would have appreciated an easier way to fill the boat with gas, but we made it work. Fantastic stay, fun had by all.

The house was great! Getting to the house.. not so much. The roads are a little scary to drive. Lots of sharp turns, drop offs, and steep hills. My family and I had a great time and no complaints about the house.

Each floor of this wonderfully situated home has a living room, wonderful to give everyone a bit of flex space from time to time. The main level kitchen and dining room spaces were perfect for the weekend. All meals were cooked at home for everyone, a large group, and the space was accommodating for meal preparation and sit-down dinners. The laundry room was perfect for the large group as well - the two dryers were very appreciated. American Spirit, a beautiful and wonderful place on all counts!

We had a group of 18 men from our church stay at American Spirit. Out of All the years we have been going on a mens retreat. We all agree this cabin is perfect for our get away. Cabin is laid out perfect. The dock is perfect for playing and relaxing. And your secluded from it all. Great rest and relaxation spot. We also rented a boat from Jon and had a great time on the water. We will definitely be staying at American Spirit again next year.

What a beautiful home! Sparkling clean with top notch linens and furnishings. My extended family ages 8 months to 82 years thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at this home together - plenty of room for our group of 28 to have some space of our own when needed with 8 bedrooms, but we also loved being able to sit together in the huge kitchen all together for meals! The kids loved jumping off the dock and we all enjoyed floating in the lake and enjoying the beautiful scenery from the spacious balconies. Would not hesitate to recommend this home and we hope to return next year!
