Fantastic Family Fun!
This house was perfect for our large family! We enjoyed 3 generations of family fun in the open floor plan, but still had plenty of quiet space in the private bedrooms!

Waters Edge - Family reunion
Waters Edge was a great property for our 5 family reunion. Each family had a room and comfortably accommodated over 20 people with the addition of an occasional sleeping bag. The lower level deck was great and the hot tub did not disappoint. The location is easy to navigate too and the roads are very doable. There is limited parking (3 cars max). The steps to the lake are deceiving: 83 from the bottom floor of the house, 97 from the top. The dock is protected and good for swimming/floating, especially for small children. Access to the kayaks was nice, but 2 have holes in them and almost sank causing a real issue getting them out of the water. The proximity to neighboring docks/families slightly detracted from the family gathering. The dock is also not very big to allow a large group to just "hang out." The slip is also limiting related to height. Boats with a wake tower will not fit into it without taking down the tower (if possible). Getting to the main channel is easily a 10 minute (each way) non-wake producing ride which also takes time away from skiing/tubing. The listing notes a commercial ice maker and access to the lower closet with a separate code. Neither of those were accurate. Tom Strum's group manages many properties. When we asked about these two items, there was confusion as to which house we were in. That said, they were very receptive and quick to remove the rental boat that was occupying the slip when we arrived.

A quiet and fun week
We loved our family stay at Water's Edge. The property was well apportioned with lots of activity, plenty of room to hangout, and the cove was quiet and a wonderful place to hangout by the water.

Fabulous place to stay with family
Well-appointed vacation home was perfect for our family visit. We enjoyed boating, fishing, toasting marshmallows at the fire pit, and soaking in the hot tub. I loved cooking dinners for our large family to enjoy together in the spacious dining area. The property manager was immediately available to help us overcome a few unforeseen incidents. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Tom Sturm, owner and rental agent

Host profile image
Tom and Judy Sturm purchased Waters Edge in late July of 2020 - a welcome addition as our third property at Norris Lake, joining a great collection of managed lakefront homes and getaways. We live full time in Cincinnati, and like you - we find ourselves extremely busy with work, school, church and sports - but always ready for a getaway!

We absolutely love the time we spend on Norris Lake. Whether it's a week in the summer or an off season getaway; just a night gazing at the stars or an action packed lake day, every moment is a memory-maker. Not only do we love the lake life - we love sharing it with friends and family, guests and clients.

Tom also owns and manages Tennessee Home Finders LLC in La Follette Tn, a full service real estate brokerage specializing in lake homes, lots, new construction and vacation rental management. We'd love to help you make your Norris Lake dream come true, too!

Why they chose this property

While we have loved beach trips and traveling afar, Norris Lake is hardly a secret anymore - combining the best of lake fun, natural beauty, and lots to do on and off the water - conveniently only 4 hours away from Cincinnati. It is a place where family and friends have come together to unwind, relax together and have a ton of fun.

Hot tub is completely drained, cleaned and re-filled between rentals, chemicals and test strips to maintain

Ideal outdoor entertaining: upper level deck includes 2 wrought iron tables - dining table for 8 plus pub table for 5; middle level deck with a table for 6, and outdoor sofa and 2 comfy chairs around a wicker fire table set; picnic table for 6 on the dock, and a chair by the 6-person hot tub to keep an eye out if the kids are taking a turn.

Immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, most furniture, decor and fixtures brand new in 2020

6 kayaks ... for free!

Enjoy some reviews from our previous listing with VRBO:
"5/5
Relaxing Lake Vacation
We returned from our second stay at this property. We enjoyed the added extras since our first stay like the kayaks and new hot tub. The location of the property is fantastic with the covered boat slip in the no wake cove and near the Marina. Parking can be a little tricky with the way the houses are situated but that is just part of the location. Very good communication with the owner when we encountered a small issue. It was a great trip."

" 5/5
Weekend getaway
The cabin was very nice, plenty of room to spread out. Lots of steps to the lake but well worth it!!"

" 5/5
Well stocked
I have been renting lake houses at Norris for a about a decade and in terms of having a house stocked for guests this one was at the top of the list. Little things such as the kitchen staples, coffee, and even a first aid kit were really nice touches. The kitchen cooking utensils and cookware were also far above the average rental. The property has new owners and the fresh linens and towels were a treat."

What makes this property unique

Uniquely situated in a quiet cove behind Flat Hollow Marina on a gorgeous mile-deep cove, families enjoy swimming, floating and splashing around in the safety of a secluded, private dock across from the Chuck Swan Wildlife Preserve. Enjoy a walk to the marina, just a 1/2 mile away or stroll the roads, relax on the decks, sightsee on the water, fish from the shore, catch the sunrise or maybe a glimpse of the bald eagle family across the way!

Add in the thoughtful amenities provided by the owners for in-season and off-season enjoyment, like the free kayaks, fire pit and 20 campfire chairs, triple level decks, hot tub, updated renovations, outdoor wicker entertaining sofa and chairs around a gas fire table, and an indoor gas log fireplace ... we hope you'll find On Waters Edge on Norris Lake a come-back soon favorite among the best of your vacation memories.

The lake is a beautiful and fun-filled attraction from late spring through early fall. It stays warm enough to swim in even through most of October. I really love going to the lake house in the off-season, though. Our family loves to go in January and February for long lazy weekends sleeping in, playing games, watching movies, enjoying the fireplace and the fire pit outside, too, we have a wonderful time just hanging out together away from the rush of our daily lives.
