We rented this property to stay closer to my daughter’s wedding. The house was immaculate and was well stocked with kitchen utensils and supplies. Excellent communication with the hosts. I would love to stay again when we didn’t have a wedding hanging over our heads! The drive is a little long, but worth it!

Great place, well equipped, quiet neighborhood
We rented two houses in this neighborhood. This house was so cozy, well equipped and perfect for our family. We brought 2 small dogs and the dog crate provided was perfect! The bedrooms were comfortable and roomy. The kitchen had everything we needed. The first and second story porches were awesome. The only thing that could be an improvement would be a washer and dryer. We were OK because we had one at the other rental.
House was in super shape. Comfortable beds and lots of space for all of us (8 adults + 3 kids). Definitely the most stock place I’ve ever stayed. They even had marshmallow roasting sticks for the awesome fit pit. The house had everything and more. My only suggestion would be to have access to the washer & dryer so the beach towels could be washed. House is not on the lake but there is a rustic boat ramp just down the street. Probably best to use a close by marina to launch your boat unless boat is less than 20 feet.
Our family (11 adults, 1 baby, and a dog) were in the area for our niece's med school graduation from nearby LMU. While this location was a little farther out, it had anything and everything we needed for a most comfortable stay. Sharon Lowdon was most accommodating and responded very quickly. The ONLY thing that was a little weird, was having to go through the bathroom connected to the kitchen to get to the bunk room. A couple of times, people were locked out/locked in the room because someone was using the bathroom, but we were able to overcome the problem by announcing that bathroom would be in use for showering, etc. The TVs in the bunk room are all the same brand, so one remote was turning all the TVs on and off at the same time, so that was a little funny too. We just ended up using 1 TV at a time for sleeping white noise. While I thought those things were worth mentioning, it didn't detract at all from the overall rental. We have rented many vacation homes in the past, and this was one of the most well stocked places we have stayed. We highly recommend this house, and would definitely love to return if we find ourselves in the area again.
We had a great experience. Plenty of space. Location is remote but perfect.

A home with a view
What an amazing home! There were six of us on a family vacation and the room this home offered was great. It was so spacious and the outside balcony was an added treat. We were 20 minutes from Beach Island marina where we rented a pontoon boat for two days. All in all a great home, great location to many outdoor activities and beautiful views all around you. The host was accommodating and responsive, the home was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this home and plan to stay there again in the future.
We had a great time, the house is very comfortable and clean. Short walk to swim, nice quite neighborhood. Absolutely love Norris Lake and would definitely recommend this home.
House was beautiful and well equipped with everything you need. Nice quiet area. Lake is just around the corner with a five minute walk. We enjoyed the fire pit and the outdoor grill. And plus it was dog friendly so that was a bonus. All the neighbors seemed super nice. Make sure you stock up on groceries because the nearest big store is 30 minutes away. My family and I enjoyed the stay over Memorial Day weekend.
We truly enjoyed our stay, the accommodations we everything & more than what was promised. We brought our two dogs as well, the property worked well for them too. It was nice that you didn't risk life & limb driving to the property, everything was simple.

Cozy, Clean, Beautiful, Tennessee Lakefront Stay
Our family absolutely loved our time at this lake house property, tucked away in the spaciously wooded & hilly water front area. We enjoyed seclusion & quality time with our family, having the beauty of Mother Nature be our only distraction. This home is cozy, welcoming, clean, & really sets the tone for the perfect family weekend away from the usual grind. The entertainment areas are large, comfortable, have nice flow, & definitely make us want to host a 3 day Summer weekend or Christmas with our extended family! The property is incredibly well taken care of; our kids loved running/playing in large backyard & exploring the nature from the back door to the water’s edge. We will definitely be re-booking here during warmer weather to fully appreciate the proximity to that gorgeous lake. Cannot recommend this lake house enough - We’ve already been sharing the listing with our family, friends, colleagues. Thank you!
