YOUR SECOND CHANCE! (Buyer's financing fell through) Some properties are simply places to live. Others become part of your story. The Clinch River Lodge is the latter. Perched along the banks of the legendary Clinch River in Rocky Top, Tennessee, this stunning three-level log lodge offers a rare combination of rustic soul, generous space, and world-class natural beauty.
Whether you're searching for a forever home, a cherished family retreat, or an amazing short-term rental, this property delivers on every level... quite literally. Pass through the private gate and leave the rest of the world behind. Step onto the wrap-around porch and let the river do the talking.
Morning fog lifts off the water as trout dimple the surface below, a scene so peaceful it almost feels painted. The porch wraps the main level and provides sweeping, down-river views that never grow old... the kind you sip your coffee in front of and suddenly realize an hour has passed.
The main level hosts two private bedrooms and two full baths, each with direct porch access, making every morning feel like a retreat. Upstairs, a third bedroom, full bath, and bonus room offer flexible space for a home office, bunk overflow, or a quiet reading loft above the treetops.
Then there's the lower level... and it's something special. Two custom bunkrooms sleeping a total of 12 guests open directly onto a lower patio and firepit, where the river views are absolutely breathtaking. This is where the s'mores happen, where fishing stories are told, and where family memories are made long after sunset.
With 5 bathrooms total spread across the home, mornings run smooth no matter how full the house is. The Clinch River is no ordinary waterway.. this stretch is renowned for world-class trout fishing, drawing anglers from across the region year after year.
The current owner's family has fished these very banks for generations, and that legacy of joy is ready to be passed on. Bring your kayaks, your fly rods, and your appetite for the outdoors. Just 4 miles upstream, Norris Dam and Norris Lake offer miles of hiking trails and abundant wildlife.
Take an evening stroll and watch white-tailed deer graze along the water's edge as the sun dips behind the ridge. Nearby, the Appalachian Museum, a proud Smithsonian Affiliate, celebrates the region's rich heritage through live bluegrass music and fascinating historical exhibits, giving this location a cultural heartbeat to match its natural one.
Despite its serene, gated privacy, the lodge sits just 6 minutes from Interstate 75, restaurants, and shopping. The best of both worlds, without compromise. Whether you're casting a line at dawn, gathering the whole family around the firepit at night, or welcoming guests who've been dreaming of a river escape, The Clinch River Lodge is ready. Properties like this don't come along often. Opportunities like this don't wait.
