The Swan House: Private, Peaceful, and Picturesque Lakefront Property

This scenic beauty is located in Manchester TN in the back of a cove on quiet Normandy Lake, a TVA-managed lake with water from May-September (sometimes as early as April and as late as October). The Swan House can be your escape to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tennessee. From the back porch, take a gentle stroll to splash in the lake, lounge on the private dock, rest in the gazebo, relax by the fire pit, kayak, or paddle board. You can even drive your vehicle next to the lake / dock / gazebo if you don’t want to walk (it’s only about 100 yards on flat ground). We place a port-a-potty near the dock in the summer for your convenience. The Swan House is located halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga: you can hike in our scenic state parks, golf in the course of your choice, go antique shopping, attend music venues (Bonnaroo and The Caverns), or visit Lynchburg (home of Jack Daniels), Nashville, Chattanooga, or Huntsville. Our goal is to ensure you will not be disappointed in your stay at The Swan House.

Incredible Property!
Our host was SUPER helpful to ensure that our stay was awesome. She had the property and grounds very clean and manicured and we didn’t need a single thing. If you want a property with a beautiful setting on the lake, stop your searching. This is where you should stay! We had an amazing experience!

Peaceful retreat
We immediately felt the warm welcome of the Swan house when we walked through the front door. Everything was comfortable and lovely, the host was incredibly responsive and answered questions quickly, making sure we had everything we needed to be comfortable during our stay. The outdoor space and grounds are so peaceful and quiet - one of our favorite parts of the trip was just sitting outside talking, watching for wildlife, petting George the cat, watching the kids play on the hill, and enjoying the sounds of nature all around. We would love to return again for a longer stay, the pictures cannot convey how truly special this place is, it exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you Kathy for your hospitality!

Great family vacation
The property was so beautiful! Lots of trees! In a great location! It was a very private property with lots to do. Not far from all the things we wanted to see and do as well. It was a great family vacation!

Wonderful Family Vacation!
We had a wonderful and relaxing lake vacation with our family! This home was beautiful, cozy and very well stocked. The kitchen had all the essentials needed and the pool table was a fun amenity. The dock was spacious and the paddle boards were a big hit! The lake access was so quiet and peaceful with beautiful views. Cannot recommend this house more, it was perfect!

Delightful Oasis During Bonnaroo
We journeyed to the Manchester area for Bonnaroo 2023 and were looking for an "off-campus" house for the long weekend. The Swan House was perfect for our family of four, 20-25 minutes from The Farm and on lovely Normandy Lake. Homeowner Kathy was very easy to work with, and the house is clean and peaceful with kayaks and SUPs for exploring the lake. George the cat is quite possibly the friendliest cat on the planet...and an evangelist for the Happy Roo vibe. All in all, Bonnaroo plus the Swan House was a wonderful combination for us, highly recommended if camping with 80,000 dusty, nocturnal friends is not your thing.

The Swan House waa perfect summer stay!
Perfect secluded lake house for a restful vacation, but close enough to Nashville for wedding dress shopping and Lynchburg for distillery tours. Kitchen was well-stocked, so no surprise trips to grocery store. Beautiful outdoor seating with gas grill, gazebo, and fire pit made for good family time. Would definitrly book again!

The perfect get away
Swan House was amazing! Beautiful, peaceful location with enough room for the entire family. The house was very well equipped. The lake was stunning - something there for everyone - fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddle boards too. Not too far from Nashville too! I would highly recommend Swan House for a family get away!

Best Vacation Ever
We visited from Florida and had the best vacation ever, starting with communication from the best host anyone can ask Kathy and stunning fabulous house. Pictures don’t do justice how gorgeous, welcoming is the house and the property. We will definitely be back for 2 weeks in summer! We are honored to stay at your lovely home Kathy, thanks again from our family!
