*Note:
- Check-in is 4:00 PM - Check out is 10:00 AM.
- Effective Oct 1st 2020; any desired usage of the hydrohoist (boat lift) requires an additional fully refundable deposit of $500, a daily fee of $40, and provide make & model of your boat to allow us to verify weight & height do not exceed capacity.
- While there is a hot tub shown on a few photos, this is not listed in our description nor available for use. Due to the remote location, appropriate service necessary to offer a hot tub year round is not viable. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
- Valid U.S. photo ID required (Driver's License or U.S. Passport)
- Age restriction may apply. If under 25, please contact regarding potential rental
- The lake water is drawn down by TVA in the winter, roughly November through April so there may be limited boat access to our dock from the lake due to the low water level during this time. During summer months (May – Sept), the water depth is 25 feet of the dock, and 65 feet in the middle of the cove.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a travel crib.

Heaven is at Norris Lake

The house was perfect for our extended family. It is clean and well stocked and the photos online do not do it justice. The dock is amazing with plenty of sun and plenty of shade. The location is in a nice cove that is quiet enough for swimming and floating at the dock while taking a break from boating on the lake. It is located within 20-25 minutes of 3 different marinas by boat, for great convenience. We have been coming to Norris Lake for over 30 years now. This is our first time at this area of the lake and we loved it. We will definitely be back. 5 STARS for Emerald Waters.

Lake Norris amazing vacation!!

The house was clean! Plenty of room for everyone. The walk to the lake was sloped comfortably. The host provided very clear instructions regarding the house rules and check out requirements. Lake Norris was the clearest, cleanest and warmest fresh water we have ever experienced!!

Great Location

Location was awesome. Nice cove - safe to swim and easy access to the lake. Getting into town was about 20 minutes. Very clean and owner communication was great. Only thing that is a little irritating is the add-ons as previous reviews state. $100 for paddle board (which for most properties is included), deposit plus rental of the hydro lift if you want to keep your boat covered while staying. We did not want to use the lift but would have to pay even if it was lowered and not used. Fortunately the weather was nice and I kept it tied to the dock. Other places I've stayed would simply drop the lift out of the way so I could pull in to the covered area. I would definitely rent here again - location was great - one of the best coves we've stayed on.

Family getaway

The lake home is spacious. We had 12 guests and did not feel crowded. Inside was clean and well equipped. Sits on a beautiful lot. We spent a ton of time on the nice dock. It is difficult pulling a boat in the driveway. Upper deck needs cleaning. We would stay again. Owner was very helpful! It’s a great place!

Boat trip

Location was good, access to the lake was easy. Upstairs clean , the basement area could have used more attention. The back deck was nice but needed attention., the furniture and decks were in need of cleaning . I did no have access to anything to clean area with so we could not clean the area ourselves Screen door was broke and needed repaired.We could not use it and it kept falling off. I would recommend the house

We enjoyed coffee on the dock in the mornings the water during the day and playing pool together as a family in the evenings!

This place was incredible. This was my first time at Norris Lake and I couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The property was beautiful and had everything you could want- great location, large dock, games, plenty of space, beautifully modern touches. The host was incredible and very responsive and helpful. I definitely recommend renting the paddle boards! We would definitely come back to this property.

It was just okay

The house itself was nice. Room for everyone. I have a few complaints. The house sleeps 12 but there was only enough towels and wash clothes for 6. There was no dishrags for the kitchen. There were fees for everything. If you wanted to rent the paddle boards there was a fee. If you used them without permission there was a fine. If you threw trash away in the outside cans without being bagged there was a fine. If you used the hot tub there was a fine. A notice would’ve been better saying no guests was to use the hot tub. Also there was light switches all over. They were labeled nicely but too many. And a fire pit was offered but no wood. The house was great. We enjoyed our stay but wouldn’t come back.

PERFECT LAKEHOUSE

We rented Big Creek with family to celebrate 2 of our boys and 1 of our nephews birthdays. The location was prefect. The home was exactly as described, but better in my opinion! It seems they upgraded some furniture after the photos were taken. Check in and communication were super easy. Meredith reached out to me for some check in concerns, but nothing that hindered our stay! I highly recommend this home for family gatherings and enjoying the lake! And to comment on the water temp in April (because I looked for several reviews), the water was still enjoyed by the kids even though it was chilly, however, for short periods of time. :) Everyone enjoyed fishing!

Lovely property with well stocked kitchen and a huge island, great water views, fairly easy walk down concrete path to dock with lots of covered space to hang out. 15-20 min boat ride or drive to Whitman Hollow Marina where we had rented a pontoon for several days. Plenty of parking space for 5+ cars. The shuffleboard court was a big plus!
