Our family getaway was amazing! This property was perfect for our family of 11 - 8 adults/ 3 children. The slip access was great to keep our boat close. Nice to swim/ fish off the dock. The layout of the house was convenient for the kids to have their area. Kitchen had everything you need. House very clean - kids enjoyed the board games. Just note that towels are not provided. Was not a problem for us as we brought several beach towels. We were able to wash them in the washer and dryer included with the house. We will definitely consider staying here again! Thank you!

Great spot in beautiful Deerfield
This place was great! Everything about the property was as listed in the pictures and description. We have actually stayed in this same cove many times as we have a friend that has a property a few doors down. It is a beautiful secluded cove and all of the neighbors were very nice. The house was very clean and well maintained. The small issues that did pop up were handled right away by Bill. The kitchen was very well equipped for most things you would need. We did bring a crockpot as there was not one available at the property. We will be back for sure!

Awesome place to stay
This property is exactly as described. We stayed with 5 adults and 3 children. The home was very clean and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep as well as gather together. Plenty of kitchen supplies available for the family meals. The beds were comfortable and the atmosphere was refreshing, The owner provided our access information in a timely manner and was quick to respond to any questions. We saw deer all through the neighborhood every day. We would highly recommend this home for anyone wanting to stay in this area. The lake view was picture perfect.

The place was better than advertised! Beautiful home in a stunning setting. Lake views were gorgeous and the home was meticulously clean and comfortable . Our only problem was the WiFi was terrible. It only let 2 people on WiFi at a time. This was an issue with 6 people.

Beautiful stay
Great lake location and property was very clean and as expected. Check-in was easy, no hassles, and lots of information at the site. The hosts provides maps, favorite locations, local menus, and everything you need for a lake get away. This is no knock against the property, but be aware that if you plan to boat, there is a steep hill to/from the dock. That's pretty much every house if you want to enjoy this lake though! I would definitely visit again, and the price is unbeatable!

Perfect
Perfect house and location. Couldn’t have asked for a better rental. Everything was as described and the house was super clean and in perfect condition. The cove and dock area is great for easy in/out with the boat, but also nice to just swim off the dock. There is nothing I would have changed. We rented a boat from oasis water sports, which was delivered to the dock upon our arrival. Highly recommend this location.

Great location. Nice Property. Convenient Layout.
Property is in a great location on the lake near several marinas and the jumping bridge. Shared dock was nice and not that steep of a walk compared to some Norris Lake properties. We would definitely stay here again. My only recommendation is to get Starlink and let guests use it.

Great cove
Great location and we loved that the boat dock is located in a 'no wake' zone. We are water skiers, so we had to drive towards Flat Hollow to find smooth water and less boats, but it was a short boat drive. We ate a lot of meals in after being on the water all day and the kitchen is small and the outdoor seating is not super comfortable, but overall we loved the setting and location and would definitely stay again!
