Beautiful home

We had a wonderful time at The Emerald View Home. We love the time we spend in the mountains and loved our drive into the home! Yes, it was a bit off the beaten path, but that’s what we expected when we booked in the mountains! Eric responded quickly to a few questions we had and was a great host! We had 24 family members, ages ranging from 74-1. There was plenty of space for everyone! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed! We loved that there was seating for everyone in the kitchen/dinning area! We spent most of our evenings sitting at the tables playing games. There was plenty of space to play several different games at the same time.We are already planning a summer vacation for 2026! Hopefully the water temp will be warmer! We did jump off the dock but with the 50 degree water it was a bit of a shock! But the thrill was fun! Thanks for sharing your home with our family.

Emerald view house

The house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need! I'm sure it's better in the summer when the lake is up. It was a VERY steep climb from the bottom of the stairs to the floating dock, I didn't even make it to the dock. The whole back yard is very steep and not safe for little children. I really enjoyed the fire pit it was nice. There are a few things the owners need to fix but other than that it was good.

Thanksgiving to remember

This house was perfect for our family Thanksgiving. We had 27 people who traveled in from many different states to share in the best time of food, games, fun and fellowship. We were able to spread out and enjoy all the different spaces. Theater room was perfect to see a MICHIGAN victory over Ohio. I would recommend this property to anyone that wants a beautiful space for a large group!

Family annual trip!

The stay was wonderful but that entrance to the house is super scary. Extra parking spot is in a very dangerous spot in my opinion. If you stay here be careful when parking and pulling out.

The Perfect House

I cannot say enough great things about this house. The owner took a lot of care to think of small details that large groups would need. The house was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The decks all had plenty of seating. The theatre room was such a nice bonus after a day on the lake. The dock had plenty of lounge chairs and tables to hang out on! The multiple grills, multiple fridges, and multiple lounging areas made this house amazing! We all loved our stay. The owner was very quick to respond to any questions. We will be back for sure!

Nice House

Overall, it was a good house for us. We had 16 adults ranging from 67 to 26 and 9 children under 7yrs. The drive in - we had 4 sedans (2 Civics, 1 Elantra, and 1 Jetta) they all scraped on the way in and out on 1 particular hill. Some deep "gullies" on a steep uphill part made that particular hill a little daunting plus it as wet/rainy. The 2 CRVs, Outback, & 2 Odysseys made it fine. The house itself is very nice with the 2 indoor sitting areas, 3 large decks with seating, & theater room. Just an FYI, you make the beds when you get there. The bedrooms/bathrooms are as pictured; many blinds didn't seem to work. 1 bathroom fan didn't work. There are no doors on any of the stairs. The kitchen was fairly well stocked: 1 24qt? pot, "regular sized" pots, several frying pans of various sizes. There were not very many serving bowls. 2 13x9 size casserole dishes and a couple small ones. Only real complaint is that some silverware must have gone missing at some point because we were always washing forks - I think the total must have been around 25 forks. I agree with previous commenters who have children - It might be good at least on the lowest deck door if there was a higher lock or child lock of some sort. Even if there was a gate to go down the stairs to the water (we brought our own gate and managed to secure it for that area, but it took some ingenuity). With all the doors having lever handles, it is easy for any child who is tall enough to open the outside doors.

Lake Norris getaway

We had a wonderful stay with 4 generations and 21 family members post Christmas. The home is setup perfectly for a large group-- great bedrooms and connected bathrooms, large eating and family room areas, beautiful decks, and a huge kitchen! The theater room is awesome and the fire pit area was great. I can't think of a thing missing with this house. The driveway is a little challenging and definitely not advised to tackle at night. I hope we have the chance to come back and enjoy this place again!

Wonderful house with lots of common areas to spread out in. With Eric's help, we rented a pontoon boat so were able to get a good feel about the size of the lake. It was in October, so we had most of the lake to ourselves.

Couldn't of been more perfect! The house was beautiful and perfect for the amount in our group. 18 adults 5 kids between 1-8. Be prepared for a lot of steps in the house and to the dock. But then you can eat and drink more lol. We rented a pontoon boat for 2 day's from a company on the lake. When we arrived at the house the boat was already there. Great family vacation. Thank you for sharing your home.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Thorla

Host profile image
Dana and I live in Pickerington, Ohio and have four children and six grandchildren. I am retired from the telecommunications industry where I was an engineer for 33 years. My wife Dana is a successful real estate agent in the Central Ohio area. We love walking, biking, skiing, boating and traveling.

Why they chose this property

We have been vacationing at Norris Lake for over 10 years with our family and friend groups and fell in love with the deep, clean emerald waters of Tennessee. We wanted to rent a home for our large family and found how difficult it was to find a place to rent. The large rental homes were booked one year in advance so we decided to build our own.

What makes this property unique

We love this location because of the private, protected, calm cove waters, perfect for swimming off the dock, in year-around deep, clean beautiful water. The home is built as close to the lake as the TVA allows which offers a gentle slope from the house to the lake. We have added the following to our home: A Theater Room (to attract people outside of the swimming and boating season), a Double Decker covered 2 slip boat dock and Fire pit area. We hope you will enjoy this as much as we have.
