We really enjoyed our stay at this cozy lake cottage. The setting was peaceful, the renovations tasteful, and the patio fernishings, firepit, and kayaks made for great family outdoor time. The kitchen was better stocked than expected, and the labeled light switches were a thoughtful touch. The dedicated ice maker is nice bonus if you spend a day on the lake. The host responded quickly to the few small issues we had. Just be prepared for stairs — it’s three levels — and bring your own extra paper goods and trash bags, which surprised us as first-time VRBO guests.

Pleasant stay

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was perfect for us. The dock is perfect and the area was quiet. The cottage was comfortable and had all of the necessary amenities. The ice maker was an added bonus! Listen to the directions and do not try and take a boat to the house. It's easiest to launch it at the public boat launch which is close to the house by car and water (maybe about 12 min by car and about the same or a tad less by boat).

Great weekend at the Lake

This place was great! There are 3 levels with 3 bedrooms, a loft with beds and 2 common areas. It also had a porch and covered area underneath. A gas grill and firepit. Fully stocked kitchen (no d/w). And great views of the lake. Large dock to swim off of or fish. And a place to keep ur boat (covered). Easy check in and out and great communication. Close to interstate exit, food options and close to twin cove Marina. Would stay here again for sure!

Great place to stay on Norris Lake

We loved the cottage. Cottage has been totally remodeled and everything was new. Kitchen well stocked (no dishwasher but that was no big deal). Beds were comfortable and the decks were nice. Small slope down to the lake which was great. The dock was all new with a slide. Loved the location close to Twin Cove Marina. We put our boat in at Ray Wilson public ramp which was close and easy to use. Owners were great to work with. Would definitely stay here again.

This is the second year in a row we've stayed there with our family. There's 11 of us in total. We come to Norris every year for our family vacation. The closeness to the water is so nice, very minimal steps. House is clean and well furnished. Love sitting on the deck but even nicer to sit on the lower patio with cool breeze from ceiling fans. The ice machine is wonderful. Saved us so much money in ice for coolers. The dock is practically new, added kayaks. The kids loved kayaking. The steps into the water, the water slide, slips, picnic table made it a great place for the family to hang out. We loved our stay at "The Blue House" as the grandkids call it. We hated to leave. We hope to be back next year.

Nice lake vacation

This home is great for a lake vacation. It’s located at the end of a narrow drive but does have a boat dock for your own boat. Easy to launch at a nearby marina. Swimming right off the dock for the kids was a highlight. The water is deep, a slide is also on the dock. We did bring lounge chairs. There is a picnic table on the dock. Multiple level home with steps to upstairs and downstairs. Air cooling system worked great. Rent a boat nearby if you don’t have one to bring. We had kids ages 3-13 and they all loved jumping into the water. Very clean home. Well stocked kitchen. Could use more paper products (TP, Kleenex, garbage bags,). We did have to buy that for our group of 11. Beds ok but could use nicer pillows. Maybe a few more blankets. I would definitely stay here again though. We had prompt answers from owner when we sent messages. We did find it nice to have a commercial ice machine in the basement to fill coolers. Had an issue with the grill but they sent someone promptly to take care of it the very next morning.

Illinois family visit to Norris Lake

We just returned from our stay at this cute cottage. It was clean, well appointed and looked just like the pictures. We were very close to Twin Cove marina and rented a pontoon boat from there for the day. We had a lot of fun floating in the water and going down the slide. It was a convenient trip into town for all of our needs. We even traveled by car one day to check out some of the other marinas in the area. We will definitely be back.
