Making Your Reservation
To check availability or reserve a home, contact Jon Trimbach, 937-238-6843. A signed contract and deposit is required to reserve a home. The basic deposit $500, $750 if a pet allowance is granted.
Rental Fees
Your total rental cost is comprised of the rental fee plus a cleaning fee plus Tennessee sales tax and Campbell County Lodging Tax. An additional refundable security deposit is also collected. Rental and cleaning fees vary by home and can be found on the Rates page. The security deposit is the only possible refundable fee and is used to cover any damages, missing items or extraordinary cleaning fees. We are regularly humbled by the fine care our guests give our homes during their stay and rarely find the need to keep any of the security deposits.
Features & Furnishings
The vacation homes are privately owned and operated and are decorated and furnished to suit the owners’ taste and needs. For an exact list of what each home offers, please check the home’s amenity list found in each home listed in the Norris Lake Rental Homes section.
Housekeeping & Linen Supplies
All of our homes provide bed linens; sheets, pillowcases, bedspreads, blankets and bath towels and wash cloths for the bathrooms. You must bring your own beach towels for lake and boating use.
Our vacation homes are professionally cleaned before your checkin. Please note that daily maid service is not provided. You are invited to use the laundry room in each home to launder linens as you see fit during your stay. You are not required to launder any linens before checking out.
Rates & Seasons:
We Offer Seasonal Rates
Peak season:
Early June through Late August
In Season:
May through Early-June and Late-August through September
Off Season:
October through April
For exact rates, please see the Rates page.
A 3-night minimum stay is required during all seasons. Reservations may be made up to 18 months in advance.
As you might guess, vacation dates that include Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day holidays are the first to be reserved. The sooner you can make us aware of your desire to reserve one of these holiday weekends, the greater chance we have of accommodating your request.
Cancellation Policy and Reservation Changes
To protect our guests from fraud, only the registered guest named on the rental agreement may notify NLP either in written or email communication to cancel a reservation.
Cancellations made 180 days prior to your Check-In date or earlier will receive a full refund of your deposit. Cancellations made less than 180 days prior to your Check-in date will result in forfeiture of your deposit and any rental fees paid. If we are able to rent the property for the time period you cancelled, you will receive a refund of the rental fees, not to exceed the new reservation amount.
Check-In, Check-Out, and Late Arrivals
Check-In begins at 3 p.m. and Check-Out is 10 a.m. Due to the high volume of activity during the summer season and the time required to clean all the homes between renters, we are not able to accommodate late check-out or early check-in times during the prime season.
Pet Policy
Some of our homes are pet friendly. Check out the Amenities List for each home to find out which ones allow pets. Pets do increase your fees — please add $250 to your security deposit.
No Smoking Policy
Smoking is not permitted in any of our homes. We sincerely ask that you respect this policy and also consider the potential devastation a forest fire could cause each home, our community and the natural beauty of the mountainside.
On-Site Staff
We have on-site staff caring for both the homes and community that can be reached via phone. Their contact names and numbers will be listed in your check-in packet.
