Fabulous week at the lake.

Gunner was great to work with. Very responsive. House was great and kitchen well equipped. Pontoon rental was also great and was awesome it was right at the dock at the house dso we didn’t have to hassle with a marina rental. Overall great week and would stay again!

Great property! Great location!

We loved the property and location! The house is amazing and actually WAY bigger in person than it looks in the pictures on VRBO. The stairs down to the lake are no joke…we are early 50s so really appreciated the deck 1/2 way up to catch your breath…LOL. Would’ve loved to have the option to pay for the electric ramp that the neighbors were using!!

Excellent location, beautiful house

This house was wonderful. Tons of space for our 6 adults. Master suite was amazing! Windows made us feel like part of the lake. Loved being close to Marina and having our boat at the house. The stairs are a lot, but not that big of a deal. Host was super responsive. We would come back for sure.

Relaxing stay

Pictures are accurate. Clean and spacious. Check in process easy. We enjoyed every second of the pool table and hot tub. The master bathtub is HUGE! We experienced a little snow and ice and didn’t feel safe leaving the house for a couple of days due to not having a vehicle to handle these conditions on the road the house is on (steep). I know this is a rare occurrence but just wanted to put it out there. Without snow/ice my Camry was fine on the roads around the house. We spent the majority of our time on the bottom floor. Used the grill and it worked great.

Great Lake house

We had a great relaxing time at this house. Be prepared for LOTS of steps to the dock, but the covered deck off the kitchen was our favorite spot!

Great property!

Perfect secluded cove, wonderful dock and the pontoon rental was top notch. Allowed us to explore the lake further than our last visit to Norris. 10/10 would recommend.

Satisfied, exercised, and slightly disappointed...

The house and the amenities within were great. Very clean, stocked, loads of entertainment, and great for out group. The steps, which we knew about coming into this, were a challenge to some, and definitely a workout to all. The only disappointment we had was with the dock and the jacuzzi areas. There was no power on the outlets or the lights, so that we could enjoy these things at night. Especially since we had two paddle boards, two towable, and a island float to blow up. Had to be done at the house and carried down the steps. Then back up to deflate fully. So all in all, in was a great trip for us, and I would recommend. Just be mindful, that trips to the dock and back need to be well thought out.
