Celebrate 80th birthday

My extended family came together from around the country to celebrate my 80th birthday. Our experience at the property was everything I expected and hoped for when I booked the property. The website photos are accurate and truly representative of the property so it was nice to have no unexpected surprises. All the amenities, from fishing to kayaking to swimming to games were thoroughly enjoyed. Lastly, the property was exceptionally clean and well furnished with quality furniture.

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.

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.

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.

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.
