A relaxing week at Norris Lake

We had a fantastic week at the lake! The home had everything that we needed and all of the kids ranging in age from 12-21 had a great time. When the weather was uncooperative, we entertained ourselves inside with all of the games that were provided (pool, ping pong, darts and numerous board games). This house is even better than pictured and we hope to visit again in the future! The homeowner was a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to questions. Now sadly, we must return to reality!

Beautiful property and amazing property owner. A bit of a climb back up from the dock which would not be great for the elderly but it was good exercise for our crew.

Great Extended Family Trip to Our Special Place, Norris Lake

My sisters and I enjoyed a trip to Norris Lake with our families and our father in July 2023. What a gift to find this wonderful listing. The home is even more beautiful than the pictures with plenty of space for families to spread out as well as come together. The indoor and outdoor living spaces were very much enjoyed with outdoor dining, late night card games, and s’mores by the fire pit. Bill is a great and accommodating host offering us detailed instructions on how to find the property, how to make ourselves at home, etc. We all highly recommend this location and home for your next group gathering, your expectations will be greatly exceeded!

Everything about this stay was outstanding... from the initial contact with the Bill (the owner) until we drove off of the property on our last day. Bill was communicative and helpful.

the house had everything we needed!!!

the only negative i have is the Wifi issue. We really needed to work a few hours a day and wanted to watch netfliz or a movie at night.......and guests only get 2gb of wifi per day. Other than that, the house and the dock were just what we needed!!! The owner was very helpful when we had questions. The cove was peaceful and we loved hanging on the dock! We would rent this house again!

Great house and responsive owner.

House was very nice with an excellent dock to hang out on and swim off of. The house set up was great. Three nice sized bedrooms upstairs and a perfect set up for kids in the basement with their own living room, 4 bunks, pool table and air hockey. Owner is very helpful and knowledgeable about the lake. We had an issue with the AC and Bill took care of it ASAP.

Wonderful Lake House with Private Pier

This is a wonderful property to host one or more families for a great lakefront vacation. Host Bill is wonderful to work with! He's organized and on top of everything; he really wants guests to have a great experience. The house was well appointed, beautifully decorated and very clean. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Bill provides access to tie up a boat or waverunners to his private pier. There are 5 (yes 5) outdoor decks and seating areas.The only drawback is that it's a very remote area and there's little to no cell service at the house and for several miles from the property (Bill does provide use of his house phone, which is great). And the internet can sometimes be spotty too. The town itself is 30 minutes away. But if you're looking to disconnect and enjoy some time at the lake, this is a great place to do just that! We really enjoyed our stay.

AMAZING Family Vacation!

This property EXCEEDED all of our expectations! I cannot think of one thing I would change. The location of the property on the lake was perfect, the dock gets full sun all day long and both Whitman Hollow and Sequoyah marinas are conveniently located and easily accessible by boat to fill up on gas/ice. The house is beautiful and well equipped with everything we could have possibly needed. The views from the decks were stunning and the game room was GREAT fun for all in the evenings. The owner, Bill, was very attentive. He provided an incredibly informative guide prior to our arrival with detailed directions and great advice/recommendations!! We are so thankful for our time spent here and the wonderful memories that were made:)

Awesome Vacation

This was our first lake vacation and also our first trip to Norris Lake. We will definitely return. Our family loved everything about this property. The house was amazing with plenty of room for everyone. Kitchen was well equipped with plenty of seating. The three decks offer an amazing view of the lake. We spent most of our days on the two tiered dock jumping into the water and floating around the quiet cove. It was the most relaxing vacation we’ve had. S’mores around the fire pit to end the day outside. We all enjoyed the game room with the air hockey and pool table as well. Bill the owner couldn’t have been nicer or more easier to work with. As said in previous reviews, the hill is no joke but we had some fun with that as well.

Five stars all around - couldn't have asked for more.

This is a wonderful property and we are so grateful to have been able to stay here for our family vacation. We launched the boat and jet ski at Whitman Hollow, which is a short ride away and the house was easy to find from the water thanks to the photos provided. There was a floating water mat that the kids just LOVED and kids and adults alike enjoyed lots of float time around the dock. The house is just a short walk up the hill and the entire path is concrete, which made it easy to wheel coolers up and down. The house itself is just beautiful and great for a mid-sized group. We had 11 people and it was a perfect fit. The kitchen is nice and spacious and well stocked with dishes, silverware and anything else you might need to prep, cook or serve. We loved having a washer and dryer available for use and enjoyed our meals on the deck. The basement was perfect for the kids and they loved playing video games or watching movies in the evening. The bedrooms upstairs are also very nice and the master suite is AWESOME. I took advantage of the private deck for a little time away to read and relax, since none of the kids were ours :) Everyone loved the beautiful hardwood floors throughout most of the main floor and they made it easy to keep things tidy during our stay. We will definitely consider staying here again in the future.

This house is very spacious, and offers a variety of activities on site. No need to travel away from this retreat, as it has everything you’ll ever need for a perfect getaway.

We had 10 people in our party. The house was able to accommodate this size of a crowd with ease. The dock is perfect for lounging as are both family rooms. The house also comes with games, ping pong, air hockey and a pool table. Perfect for evening and rainy day entertainment. We hope to stay here again.
