Groceries?

Our home is approximately 30 minutes from major grocery stores and fuel centers. LaFollette and Jacksboro have several large grocery stores you will pass as you drive into LaFollette from Exit 134.  The Wal-Mart is your best bet for one stop shopping as they have groceries, fishing licenses and beer/wine coolers.  If you choose to take the Jellico Exit #160, you will not pass any stores and will need to drive through LaFollette to Jacksboro.  If you are in need of some 'light' groceries, bait, beer and wine coolers the area marinas carry some daily staples.  Liquor is not available for sale anywhere in Campbell county.  Freddy's Market is 10 minutes from Deerfield Resort and offers most convenience store items, beer, fuel and bait.

Boats cannot be launched from house. Boats can be launched at Deerfield Marina, which is located near the entrance to Deerfield Resorts (you will pass it on your way to the Claus Haus). Boat launching and temporary slip usage is VERY STRICT and not controlled by us.

Our home is allowed 1 boat slip on the community docks.  We also have a private JetPort for your exclusive use (is marked "Claus Haus").  It is possible to tie up a jet ski in back of a ski boat in the same slip.  Additional dockage is available at a nominal fee ($12-$15/night) from several nearby marinas and through the Deerfield Cove Marina,(423) 907-9755.

Does my Cell Phone work at the Claus Haus?

Maybe????  Most of the Norris Lake area is reachable by most mobile phone services.  Digital service is very unlikely.  To-date we have confirmed analog/roaming coverage for Sprint, AT&T and Cingular and clear DIGITAL/Data access for Verizon at our home.  If your plan does not include analog/roaming coverage, watch your bills....  If you have additional cell phone coverage news, drop us a line and we will update our 'inventory'.

How do I work the Satellite and DVD system?

The Satellite and DVD/Stereo is located below TV in main family room.  The multi-functional DirecTV remote will control both the satellite box and the volume control on the TV.  The DVD/Stereo remote will control the DVD/AM/FM/CD Audio player.  Do NOT remove the satellite access card!  If found removed/missing it will be deducted from your rental deposit.  Pay per view/on-demand services are NOT available.

You may experience loss of satellite signal during heavy rains and thunderstorms.  This is normal and service will return once the sky has cleared.  Please do NOT try to adjust satellite dish to improve signal.
