Near the end of a road surrounded by lush forest, Hiawatha Hideaway is the perfect combination of convenience and solitude. With two spacious decks surrounded by tall trees, it's almost like you're in a giant treehouse. Enjoy the peaceful sounds of nature, with birds, foxes, racoons, deer, and other wildlife all around. If you're here in May or June, watch fireflies dance the night away.
While feeling worlds away from the hustle and bustle of normal life, Caryville, Jacksboro, and LaFollette are only a few minutes away.
Walmart is nearby, with a large supply of almost anything you may need. Food City is also a great choice, just a bit further down the road.
Liquor Barn has a great selection of beer, wine, and spirits. Just turn left and look for the big sign when you hit the end of Ridge Road.
Restaurants are nearby, from fast food to sit-down. We really enjoy Coal Creek Smokehouse, just a short drive away in Rocky Top. Be sure to try their Bacon Bouquet and spoonbread with some of the best BBQ you've ever had.
Knoxville is only a 30 minute drive if you crave something fancier, or just want a night on the town.
You will not find a better or more convenient location than Hiawatha Hideaway for your Norris Lake Tennessee vacation!

Two single person kayaks are also included for your enjoyment! Please make sure to return the paddles and life jackets to their secure locations within the kayaks to make sure our next guests can enjoy them too, and to avoid unnecessary charges.
