Great Location and fantastic View

Located very close to everything we needed (Marina, Lake & Restaurants). The house had lots of space and was well laid out with plenty of amenities. I would recommend this house to any friends and family who wanted to stay in the Norfork Lake area.

Our stay was very pleasant, and Darren was a wonderful host. The view of the lake was beautiful, and we loved having our coffee each morning and watching the fog lift. The house was conveniently located close to town, but still far enough away to be peaceful. It had everything we needed, and it looked exactly like the photos. Deer came through the yard for breakfast, and eagles soared by in the afternoons.

Family vacation

We brought our 2 adult children and their families with us to Norfork Lake. 8 people total. The house was very comfortable,clean,nicely updated, and had a great view of the lake. The only thing people should be aware of is the parking- it is tight for 2 trucks, and a car. We pulled a boat down the driveway before we realized we might not get it turned around. We did it by unhooking from the truck and pushing. The property owners answered texts very quickly. We would stay here again!!

July fourth weekend

Great place, location is good for us since it is close to family and the marina we use - Panther Bay! Pictures are as it is! Only problem, we tripped over that darn rug in the living room many times with it rolling up the way it does. Also, second bedroom upstairs is a littttle worn in, lots of sinking to the middle while sleeping with your spouse. But other than that, can’t complain. Darren is always a great host and responds quickly. Thank you! We will be back!

Great Stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the lakehouse. It was perfect for my family and me. The boys stayed downstairs, and my husband and I stayed upstairs. Great views. The house was extremely clean, with more things that we needed than most anywhere we've ever stayed, and we travel multiple months out of the year. Great week!
