Very very impressed with the property and the host of this property. When we go to Norris, which is every year, we will always return to this host and their places. They are the best by far.

Fun 4 night stay right on the water

The floating house was a first for us. Having the clear water available for a quick swim off the diving board/slide and fishing from the covered area made it so nice and different than previous lake trips. So much better than a houseboat. We were concerned that we'd be too close to other houses, but once there it didn't feel that way at all. The home itself was well furnished, clean, and had everything we needed.

Floating House that has it all!

We were so pleasantly surprised to find so many 'water toys' that we could use when we arrived at our floating house. Mary truly has thought of everything that you might need or want! She even called us to let us know of a potential traffic backup on our way to the property. We will definitely be back!!

Great time on the lake

The house was clean and comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need for cooking. We loved being ON the lake with easy access to the boat and swimming right off the front porch. The kids made friends at another floating house nearby and used the provided paddleboat as go from house to house ;) Really fun!

Outstanding property

This floating house was amazing. Being able to tie up to the house and jump straight into the water was great. Everything was sparkling clean, and the house was well stocked. There were lots of nice bonuses with the house, and you could tell a lot of love and attention goes into the property.

July 4th weekend

The house was more than equipped- Everything was thought of! Kayaks, floats, the kitchen had everything! Mary was quick to respond and I feel we were pretty needy with information. We had the best time and the best location to watch the fireworks. Great experience!
