The house is absolutely stunning and had incredible amenities. It was clean, welcoming and set up perfectly. The house truly suited all our needs and we had the best time. We had two small babies so the baby gates were a welcome addition to use! We can't wait to come back!

The house is amazing! Clean, well-stocked, beds were comfortable, house is as described and well furnished. Boat dock, kayaks, fire pit, porches ALL were very enjoyable and relaxing. We were afraid our three-night stay would not be enough time, and it wasn't. We could've easily enjoyed a week in these accommodations. Highly recommend!

Outstanding lake house. We’ve been coming to Norris lake annually for the last 15 years and this is by far one of the best vacation rentals we have had. The house is newer and has all nearly all the amenities you will need for a great stay (plenty of space, screened in porch, dock with swim platform, extra fridge, and ice maker to name a few). Owners were extremely responsive to the few issues/questions we had. We definitely plan to return.

Perfect Lake Home

My family and I have stayed in many houses on Norris Lake over the past four years and this was definitely the best! The home is beautiful, comfortable, and the attention to detail is very impressive. The kitchen is well stocked and we had everything we needed. The screened in porch is especially nice. We brought our boat and the dock was excellent. We appreciated the quick communication with the owner and will definitely consider booking another vacation at this house!

Norris Lake House

The house was very nice. It was clean and well stocked. The dock was nice and the covered slip for my son's boat came in very handy. The only problems were the concrete dust we tracked in from the front (this will disappear over time) and the lack of a grill brush. It would also be nice if you allowed cigars on the dock area.

Beautiful Home

The owners of this house really thought through everything. The room setups, all of the large windows to have a view of the lake from most of the house! Even the online guidebook to show you what is close and how to get there - I do recommend checking that out before you drive in so you know which road is best to take. The location on the lake is great, with so many marinas within a short boat ride. The home was constructed and decorated so well. Our three generation family, including toddlers, enjoyed our stay very much.

Beautiful Property

Our number one priority when renting is cleanliness. This property exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful inside and out. We loved the app which made everything a breeze. My parents (age 75), even though relatively fit, struggled with the slope, so I would recommend getting a golf cart if you have anyone in that category. The baby gates were perfect for my granddaughter. The dock was great for jet ski and a speed boat rentals. We enjoyed the enclosed deck on a rainy day. The layout of the home was wonderful.

The house is amazing as is the view. Getting to the property was a little treacherous as the roads get very narrow. There was plenty of room for everyone and the kitchen is nice and big. We loved that the kitchen was well stocked with spices, ziplocs, etc. that we normally have to furnish. Lots of deer all over the place! The walk to the dock is VERY steep which we were not prepared for with my 80 year old mom. There is a new concrete path all the way down to the steps but it was way too steep for her to maneuver safely. Definitely not a criticism to the property or owners just something future renters should be aware of. I would recommend this home for anyone wanting to stay on Norris Lake.

Rocky Retreat

When we first walked in we were instanly in heaven. The house was beautiful and well cared for. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you needed to cook and all the storage containers needed for a day on the lake. The screened in back porch was a great hang out area without getting eaten up by bugs. The outdoor seating was great for us to have our family dinners. And the fire pit was such a nice relaxing area after a long day on the lake. The scenery with all the rocks was amazing. I have not stayed at Norris and had the opportunity to be surrounded by beautiful rocks. The dock can get a little rough sometimes, but if you tie your boat up right you shouldn't have any issues. We used our ropes and even the qhite ropes they provided. We will be staying here again in the future!
