Great time
House was perfect and had everything we needed for a great time. The commercial grade ice maker was a blessing for filling our cooler to accommodate all day boating. Dock was great and boat launch right there by house. Road is a bit narrow and curvy with trailer to get to house, just go slow. Fire pit a great touch, might want to bring extra camp chairs. Would stay again.

1 week at the Dawg Pound.
The house is a very nice 3 bedroom. The owners have made it very welcoming and it is setup nice. Very nice dock about 45 steps from the lower covered porch. Plenty of parking space and a nice fire area in the woods across the street.

First Visit to Norris Lake
This house was perfect for our family. The location was great. We spent a lot of time on the deck and screened-in porch. The house was so comfortable and had everything we needed.

Wrong address
First of all the house was great. The problem was the physical address was incorrect. It was trails end..not trains end, so our Google maps took us 2 hours out of our way. Second thing was it wasnt a good location to swim for dogs(which I paid extra for) hill was way to steep to exit or enter for our 4 legged friends. So a big negative. Hope these things can be resolved for future guests.

Great Property!
This house is way better than the pictures and had everything we needed for our stay. As we were walking through I found myself saying all it needs is a large ice maker and then I turned the corner….boom ice maker. Great property!
