We had 9 kiddos, ages 3-12 & 6 adults! House was great and we were able to get a second slip for our two boats, which we greatly appreciated! Would definitely stay here again! Check in & out was simple and owner was very responsive!
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.
Property as advertised. Great location overlooking the water to the west . Took adult children and granddaughter and everyone loved the place. We enjoyed some awesome sunsets and plenty of time on the water. Would definitely stay again if we return to Lake Norris. Bill was a super host!
The property was lovely and had everything that we needed. We have stayed at multiple other properties and this cove was probably the best location and also the cleanest water.
Communication with the owner was seamless and he allowed us early check-in when we arrived sooner than expected.
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!
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!
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.
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.
The home was perfect for our family. We had 3 families and each family had their own floor. Everyone had their own area. The check in was easy. The host was very easy to work with and responded quickly to our questions.We would definately stay here again.
Our week at this house was great! Enough room for our whole family. This home was clean and very comfortable. We rented a boat for the week and enjoyed swimming in the cove.
The house is beautiful and very well maintained. The area is full of wildlife, and relaxing. A great place for a family that wants to get away, and just hang out. The kids had a blast fishing and boating. It was the perfect vacation to disconnect from the world and reconnect with family.
