Awesome stay

We have stayed at a number of lake houses and this was our favorite by far. Great for larger groups. Open layout with 2 refrigerators and dish washers. Easy accessibility to the lake, especially when compared to other properties. The dock was the highlight for us. Perfect spot for lounging by the lake. The kids spent hours jumping and sliding down into the water. Would highly recommend!

Great Location, Amazing Dock, Mediocre Communication

Here's the short summary: This is one of the best houses on the lake. Location is great, dock is amazing, minimal stairs. Our family had a wonderful time and we would definitely book this property again. The beds are great (bring your own pillow), the house is well furnished, the slope is much better than stairs (though still an effort), and the yard/hottub are a nice bonus. Here is my one complaint. The garage (Attached to the house) is under construction. It wasn't and would not have been a deal breaker for us, but it sure would have been nice to be given a heads up. There was constant hammering, sawing, and nailing for several days. The property manager said delays made it so he had no way of knowing, but its been under construction for months and there was obviously a way to know. At some point in the near future there is going to be a renter who has to listen to the drywallers all day and deal with the dust and eventually cutting a hole into the kitchen. I hope that renter gets a heads up. There were no apologies made from the property manager for the lack of a heads up. He did offer to to look to move us, 2 days after he promised to follow up with me and we had settled in. We didn't and wouldn't have taken the move even with advanced notice, because so few properties on the lake fit our large family this well. It just would have been nice not to start our vacation off pulling up to a house with a full construction site in the front yard. Common courtesy is all that was expected. In addition to the construction there was a shattered glass pane on one door downstairs with shards of glass in the grass and on the sidewalk which made bare feet a no go. There was also a screen door laying on the back porch that should have just been removed from the property. All in all, don't expect perfection and you will love this house. Also if you are reading this and your reservation is in the month of July or August of 22, I would call and double check the construction schedule.

Relaxing by the lake w/all ages

We had an amazing weekend on Norris lake. The property manager John was great to work with and very accommodating. Our group ranged in age from 88 to 2, and everyone had a blast. The beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked. We can't wait to return.

Great location, size, and amenities

Plenty big enough for our 6 adults, 3 kids, and 2 toddlers, with a variety of possible room configurations. Great amenities, including double fridges, and dishwashers. Kitchen well-stocked with tableware, dishes, cooking tools, etc. Best table I've seen yet for all of us eating together: long and wide. Convenient to dock (to climb, we did no boating). No good off-road walking path, but the road is lightly traveled and walking along it was the next best thing.
