Everything you need

The house was the perfect size and super clean. It has actual beds for what it says it sleeps. No pull out couches becaus those are never really comfortable. Having a bathroom for each bedroom was so nice. The kitchen came equipped with everything you needed. The covered dock was great, in a great cove. Everything was easy. Than you for a great stay.

Family time on the lake

Loved ease of renting pontoon and accessibility to Norris Lake. Quality appliances, linens, dishes. Why in a rental that sleeps 8 easily is there only inside seating for 5 at bar stools? At least a card table and chairs are needed. It was 95⁰ every day so never used nice fire pit or hot tub.

Spotless

Home was extremely clean and beds were very comfortable which are always our top travel concerns. Gunner was super responsive to questions before and during stay. Lake itself was dead (March) but seems like this area would never be super busy- pretty far from grocery, restaurants, Norris Dam, and Cumberland Gap Natl Park so we would probably look for a different location if we returned.

We've stayed at this property twice, and will again!

great property, plenty of parking for the boat trailer, quiet cove to float, kayak, paddle board, etc. 10-15 minute idle out to the main channel depending on your "no wake" speed. That might seem like a lot but my boat enjoyed the gentle warm up and cool down. There is a gentle slope to the dock so it's an easy walk. The dock is very nice with overhangs so even the boats on the outside are under cover. It's a plastic or resin deck, so no splinters. There were bumpers already hanging on the metal poles to keep your boat from getting dinged up. One thing I would change is adding about 10 ft to the gangway to the dock. The lake was dropping while we were there (about a foot every-other-day), and by the last day there were some rocks and mud to drag the cooler over to get to the dock. We were there there 3 years ago with the lake full, and did not notice, so it likely doesn't make a difference most of the time. (dock was adjusted while we were there, so plenty of water stayed under the boat, even with the 3 ft drop during our stay.) The House is very well kept, even the grill was clean. The owner pays a lot of attention to detail, to the extent of spare remote control batteries in the TV stand drawer. Nice fire pit with wood stacked & ready. Take some fire starters to make it easy. There is a nice grocery store in Maynardville only a10 minute drive, so you don't need to pack everything with you from home or "hit the store" on the way in. On the water, it is extremely close to beach island (a few minutes once out of the cove) and a half hour (25mph) or so to Jimmy's (Norris Landing Marina) if you're not cooking.

Perfect family house

The house was exactly as described and shown in pictures. The shared dock was great to have for easy access on and off of the lake. The location of the cove was perfect and quiet, allowing us to swim off the dock and paddle board around the area. The layout of the house was well thought out for families, with each bedroom being very spacious and with a bathroom. My son wanted to make this our permanent house. :) I would definitely recommend it for your family stay!

Clean and nice

The location on the water was perfect and it's a very easy drive by car. The house was clean and new. I wish there was a privacy fence separating you from the house next door. There are outdoor security cameras everywhere, which was a little creepy. None of the bathrooms have towel racks and the kitchen needs a pantry for food storage. Overall, I liked the house and would recommend.

Hickory Valley house is a STAR

*Great place for a three generation vacation! *The location was easily accessible from our home in Kentucky. *The covered dock was very nice, plenty of space for two pontoons and a jet ski. *10 minutes from a grocery store and 5 minutes from a gas station by car. *10 minutes from Beach Island Marina. *The house had everything needed for a pleasant stay. *Easy walk to the dock. *The only thing we would have liked was a designated walkway to the dock. There is plenty of grass, which helps. *We would definitely consider staying here again. *The owner was very quick to respond to our requests and questions. Thanks for sharing your home!

Piece of Paradise

This property is breath taking. The home was clean and everything as advertised. The boat dock which is a short stroll down a gentle slopped back yard was ideal for our 24' deck boat. You can also swim right off the dock. The only thing missing from this gorgeous home, was a toaster. Thanks for sharing a piece of paradise with us.

House is very new, nice view, great location, not far from Beach Island Marina and activities and open lake space. Each room is nicely furnished, good size space with TV's, movies and games in each for those rainy days. Bathroom for each bedroom is wonderful. Kitchen is well equipped, all appliances new.
