The house sits overlooking the lake with a pristine view from almost every room in the house. The owners were very accommodating with our early arrival and requests. He even offered to extend our stay for a nominal fee if we desired. The open concepts makes it a great place to stay with a large group.

Absolutely amazing place. Wish we had figured out the sound system sooner. It was easy to use, just didn't get around to figuring it out until day 4. Thought it was a police scanner at first.lol Also, the kids board games are missing pieces, so bring your own. The biggest problem outside of that, is that we should have booked a few more days.

This place is absolutely AMAZING! We had a fantastic Labor Day weekend and we truly cannot say enough good things about this place. From the fabulous kitchen and dining area, to the cleanliness of the house, everything was perfect. But the dock and outdoor space are truly unbelievable. We spent the evenings watching sunsets on the dock and then watching football on the covered porch and the moon shimmer on the lake below. We truly hated to go inside as we had the best weather ever. We can't thank you enough for sharing your place with us. Don't hesitate to book this house as you will not be disappointed. A 10 out of 10 in all areas!

The house was perfect! We had 6 adults and 4 teenage children. There was plenty of room to spread out. All 10 of us enjoyed family dinners on the outdoor deck and watched a movie on the outdoor television. We played lots of games on the lower deck. The kids loved jumping off of the 2-story dock. The hot tub was immaculate. The kitchen is well equipped for any type of dinner you would like to make. The owner, Steve, was easy to reach and went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful stay!

This property was amazing. We had excellent communication from the owner prior to our stay. The property did not disappoint once we got there. The home has an amazing view of Norris Lake. We certainly enjoyed the hot tub, ping pong table, and air hockey table. Property was well kept and clean. I would highly recommend this place for others to stay.

Perfect Thanksgiving Retreat

We stayed at this amazing property over Thanksgiving week with a large group, and it was absolutely perfect! The house had everything we could possibly need to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The location was ideal – quiet, peaceful, and perfectly suited for unwinding and spending quality time with family and friends. The surroundings offered a tranquil escape, yet we were close enough to enjoy nearby activities and attractions.The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming. From the moment we booked, Steve made sure all our questions were answered and ensured everything was ready for our arrival. Throughout our stay, he remained attentive and approachable, which truly enhanced our experience.

Wonderful property

From reservation booking to check out, the property and experience was wonderful. The host was very responsive and answered many of our questions. The check in process was very easy and there were instructions on how to use the many amenities throughout the property. The property was as described and was very spacious. Plenty of room for multiple families to stay and still have some privacy. The area is quiet and we explored the lake via a boat rental from the marina about 15 minutes away. Overall, a great place and would highly recommend and stay again.

Perfect Getaway

The listing name is 100% accurate. This is the best house on the lake. It has such a home away from home feel with all of the necessities. We came after a big storm and didn’t have any power which no one could have prevented. The host was great at communicating and keeping us informed. We will stay here every time we come to Norris Lake. 10000/10 rating!

Wonderful Outdoor Space

The outdoor space is perfect. We spent the majority of our time outside even when it was raining. There's a nice lounge area with a TV and a nice big table to gather everyone around. On the 2nd floor there are many outdoor activities for the kids. This home is equipped with a full kitchen. We enjoyed having 2 refrigerators. We would recommend adding a Blackstone to the outdoor space. This was an item we missed having at the lake. A Blackstone grill is great for cooking breakfast and Hibachi outside. The property manager was very responsive. So much better than our experience at a different property last year. We struggled a little bit navigating the boat into the dock because the house /dock is in an open channel with steady boat traffic. We took it slow and took our time and it was fine. The driveway is tricky but most driveways at the lake are very steep. This isn't something that would deter us from renting this property again. Overall we would highly recommend this property. It felt like home.
