Great location. Easy to get to and from. The only issue I had was cleanliness and the couch was uncomfortable. There was dog hair in clumps on the floor , food stuck in the couch and the cabinets had some kind of sticky substance. Otherwise it was a pleasant stay.

I loved the layout of the floating house. It was like a cottage on the water. Everything was as described and thoughtfully furnished. The outside area was the best in the lake in terms of space, seating arrangements and comfort!

Great little Gem on Norris Lake

The floating house was a first and fun experience for our family. The house looked cute online but it was very beautiful inside! The bedrooms are tight but we didn't care. We were only in them to sleep. Everything we needed was stocked from cookware to trash bags to dish detergent to bath towels. The porch was nice with plenty of furniture, a bar and a big screen TV. It's so close to the marina you can listen to the live music without taking your boat over. We had a great time and loved our stay!

Wonderful Weekend on the Lake

The houseboat was perfect for our weekend get-together. The bedrooms were nicely decorated and the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked. We had everything we needed and then some. The outdoor space was wonderful. We had all of our meals outside. Plenty of shade and comfy chairs for relaxing. Fun time.

The property boasts an excellent location. The host provided exceptional service. The cabin was impeccably clean and fully equipped. The photographs do not adequately represent the property's appeal. The deck and outdoor entertainment area were a key feature..

Mother/ Daughter weekend

Very relaxing, close to restaurant but far enough away not to be disturbed. We enjoyed the kayak and paddle board. The fire pit was an added bonus. Only trouble was finding the Wi-Fi password. Would definitely recommend this property.

Fun Stay

This is a great place to stay if you want to experience true lake life! There was plenty of space and the owner was very fast to answer any questions! Floating houses do have their quirks and limitations similar to an RV or camper, so prepare accordingly. We'd definitely book again!
