Another fantastic family week together on beautiful Norris Lake. Loved our house that is perfect for all 12 of us. Especially appreciate the large tables in dining room and on patio, the large refrigerator, separate ice maker and Easy walk to deck.
We absolutely LOVED our stay at Norris. The was not only a beautiful house, but perfect location. The floor plan was so well thought out. The two adult couples had their own space (with full bathrooms) upstairs and the kids stayed in the basement with 2 full bathrooms. The outdoor patios were awesome for enjoying a cup of coffee in the morning overlooking the lake. Great view!! The fire pit and dock were also great for our families. It would love been nice to have a ton of Adirondack chairs around the pit for all of us, but we made it work. Our only complaint/heads up would be that you have to bring your own bath towels, which we have never had to do on Norris Lake or any rental before. Beach towels for the lake is understandable, but it stunk to have to bring bath/hand towels. However, The owner did remind me of that before we headed down, which I was very thankful. Other than that, this is a perfect rental. You will LOVE it too
Our family loved staying at this wonderful lake house with room to spread out for everyone. The grandparents loved the gradual slope to the dock - it was very easy to get to the boat. The kitchen was well stocked and the house has 2 refrigerators. Nice comfy beds to sleep. Thanks for a great stay!
We have been renting this home for our Christmas/New Year’s celebration for a number of years and all of our stays at this house have been excellent!!! The owner has made improvements each year we have stayed here and this is one of the best maintained rentals that we have stayed in. It has a fantastic first floor plan with plenty of space for a large group to gather in the living room and at the dining room table. It also has a double refrigerator in the kitchen which is great for storing food for a large group. This house has plenty of space for six adults and our six grandchildren. The grandkids especially enjoy the downstairs and the bunkroom for hanging out away from the adults and having a good time. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything we need for preparing meals for our group. The owner is easy to work with and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stays at this home. We are definitely looking forward to coming back again!!!!
Each year we vacation with our best friend’s family. We have been coming to Norris Lake for 20 years so our children are now grown. Everyone still gets excited for this vacation. We have rented many homes on the lake and this one is on the top of our list. There is plenty of room for us 60 year olds to have our space and our 30 year olds to have theirs. The home has everything you might need from kitchen items, to plenty of seating on the deck & dock, to utilizing the kayaks. We will be renting again.
We have stayed at many homes on Norris Lake and this is one of the most beautiful and functional homes we have rented! There is ample space for each family to have their own bedroom and bathroom. There are two living spaces which makes it great with a large group; as well as two outdoor spaces on the beautiful deck. The furniture, beds - everything - was extremely comfortable! There were so many little touches that you could were well-thought out such as the appliances in the kitchen (ample fridge and freezer space), and also the ice maker. Again, the overall layout of the house was very functional for our family gathering.
The lake access from the house is one of its biggest features! Just a set of stairs down the deck and then a gradual slope. The dock was very clean and loved having the kayaks to use!
The host was incredible - very communicative,
prompt, thorough, and answered all of our questions.
We will definitely be returning!

Great Family Home!!!
We rented this house for the second time this year for a family get-together during the holidays. Both of our stays at this house have been excellent. We had a total of six adults and 5 children and we had more than enough beds, bathrooms and room for everyone to relax and enjoy the time together. The house is very comfortable for a large group and we especially enjoyed the size of the kitchen and the king sized beds. The kitchen is well stocked with all the cooking utensils that you need to prepare meals during your stay. We also enjoyed the ping pong table and the extra family room and refrigerator downstairs. The owner does an excellent job of maintaining this property. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a very clean, inviting and comfortable place to stay. We are looking forward to being able to visit again in the summer to take advantage of the space outdoors and the lake.
The house is truly incredible. You can tell that the owners care and make sure everything is in order.
It’s well stocked in the kitchen and has a lot of opportunities for activities (ping pong, kayaks, games, etc.). We stayed with 12 people. It had a lot of space and never felt crammed. Fantastic stay and would definitely recommend!
My family of 6 adults and 3 kids absolutely loved our stay! The house is perfect, spacious and updated. Beds are super comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked with anything you could need. We enjoyed spending our days on the dock and evenings in the screened in porch. Tom was so helpful and
This was our seventh time renting this home for our Christmas/New Year’s celebration and all of our stays at this house have been excellent!!! The owner has made improvements each year we have stayed here and this year he installed a second refrigerator in the kitchen and replaced the old one with a duplicate of the new second refrigerator. We had plenty of space for all the food we needed for our group! The owner also remodeled the master bath and we really liked the new layout which added a walk-in shower. He also remodeled the laundry room and unstacked the washer and dryer. This made doing laundry a lot easier. The house has plenty of space for six adults and our seven grandchildren. The grandkids especially enjoy the downstairs and the bunkroom for hanging out away from the adults and having a good time. This is one of the few houses we have stayed in where we can all gather at the dining room table for meals and activities and it also has seating for everyone in the living room. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything we need for preparing meals for our group. There is also a commercial ice maker which is great for large groups. The owner is easy to work with and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stays at this home. We are definitely looking forward to coming back again!!!!
This was our sixth time renting this home for our Christmas/New Year’s celebration and all of our stays at this house have been excellent!!! The house has plenty of space for six adults and our seven grandchildren. The grandkids especially enjoy the downstairs and the bunkroom for hanging out away from the adults and having a good time. The owner has made improvements each year we have stayed here and this year he replaced the furniture in the living room, added a beverage refrigerator in the kitchen, replaced the kitchen cookware and upgraded the internet. This is one of the few houses we have stayed in where we can all gather at the dining room table for meals and activities and we now have seating for everyone in the living room. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything we need for preparing meals for our group. The owner is easy to work with and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stays at this home. We are definitely looking forward to coming back again!!!!
Beautiful house, huge dining room, spacious outdoor patios, comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms, fantastic dock, well equipped for boat and family hang out. This property is definitely a save and repeat rental. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your property.
This is our second time staying at this property and again it didn’t disappoint!! Great location, beautiful house and it has everything you can imagine you would need! The only inconvenience would be the gravel driveway is a little steep. We encountered a bad weather and some of our vehicles had trouble getting back up it after some of the gravel washed away. But other than that it was PERFECT! The ice maker was such a help! Tom was great! Can’t wait to stay again!
This was our fifth time renting this home for our Christmas/New Year’s celebration and all of our stays at this house have been excellent!!! The owner is great to work with and does an excellent job maintaining this house and has consistently made improvements from year to year. The house has plenty of space for six adults and our seven grandchildren. The kitchen is well equipped for fixing meals at the house and Food Lion is close by which makes picking up supplies easy. The owner added a commercial icemaker which is a nice feature to have when you have a large group. The kids love the bunk room in the basement which has plenty of room for them to play in while the adults are upstairs relaxing. Our family also loves playing ping-pong during our winter get together. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stays at this home and are definitely looking forward to coming back again!!!!
My husband’s family gathers for Thanksgiving week at a destination. Our home this year was wonderful and Tom was excellent at communicating all things for us. We would definitely love to spend another week here in the future.
In a word…TERRIFIC!!! The directions were spot on, the locationclose to a marina, the view was lovely, the home was clean and beautifully decorated and the kitchen fully stocked!! We spent most of our time on the dock, in the water , playing games (including ping pong), kayaking and tubing.
We had a wonderful time Lake Break! The house was beautiful and layout worked for our group well. One of the few properties around Norris Lake that has a gentle slope down to the water. Also enjoyed time spent at the dock!. The owner was easy to communicate with and ensured we had a great time. Would stay here again
Very clean. Loved the porch areas. Washer wasn’t working, and Tom had someone there the next morning to try and fix it. Quiet area, but very close to Powell Valley Marina.
This property was "Pristine"!!!
The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed for a large group. Our week came with lots of rain, but the covered dock and the covered upper and lower decks were awesome to still be able to be outside for all our meals and enjoy the outdoors. The owner Tom was very accommodating to help out my 83 yr old Mother that was with us. We greatly appreciated that.
We all had a great week together and made great memories as a family.
We have a wonderfull time staying in Toms property , super clean and super well maintained , you will feel like your own home , great communication with owner, very quiet area , you will find all u need in local stores so u dont need to bring mutch stuff , firewood on site , tons of parking , screened porch .... will be back soon , Thanks
The property was great. The yard was beautiful. The lake is beautiful. We actually stayed here due to the close proximity to hiking and enjoyed numerous hikes around the area. We rented a boat for a day to check out the lake and could tell this property would be a great summer vacation spot for boating and water sports on Norris Lake. There are several marinas on the lake where you can rent boats. There is a very nice grocery store not too far away. The kitchen has everything you need. The owner of the property was extremely helpful and responsive. Overall just a wonderful experience.
