Staying at the “Happy Hour” on Norris Lake in LaFollette, Tennessee was definitely exciting, invigorating, relaxing, and the perfect getaway. The two levels of open living room and kitchens felt so spacious and the furnishings were clean and very comfortable. The lower level is filled with recreational opportunities for all including air hockey, video games, cards, etc. All three levels have huge windows overlooking the picturesque lake to watch the sun set or rise along with the beautiful evening stars. It is a place that you are glad to get back to after a long day on the water swimming, boating, fishing or simply gathering with family and friends. The kitchen is definitely well equipped. You can’t ask for more…..everything promised in the listing is actually there! Plenty of seating for everyone, a wonderful gas grill, enough cooking utensils to prepare meals, coffee makers, blenders, hot tub, wonderful views; it’s all there. The decks and boat house/tiki bar provide many lounging areas for sunning, reading, and visiting with family and friends. Great idea to have the phone/walkie-talkie to be able to communicate from the boathouse up to the house. This is our second stay at Happy Hour, the first was a large group of our friends, and the second time we were with family. Both visits provided us with our most memorable vacations!! THANKS!!!

Four years ago our extended family started an annual tradition of a late summer / early fall extended weekend together at Norris Lake. We just completed our 2nd stay at Happy Hour. House truely sleeps 30 comfortably and is conducive to grouping the sleeping arrangements for the little ones and the older ones. The house is right on the water with excellent dock complete with seating, water slide and plenty of room for our 3 boats. Extremely convenient is the private gated community boat ramp a couple of hundred yards away. Each family within our extended family signs up to prepare and serve a meal during our stays and the two full kitchens with open floor plans on two of the levels works out great for us. Also convenient is the fact that there are two full service marinas very very close by boat as well as grocery and retail stores 30 min. or less from the house. Have found the owner of the house to be very easy to work with and willing to do everything possible to make the stay an enjoyable experience. Hope to return again and again.
Owner response:Thank you very much for your kind review. It is great to receive positive feedback on our home. When we designed the house we hoped that we built it around the needs of large groups and mult- generational needs. I am excited you found it to work for you and come back again a second year. We look forward to seeing you in in 2012. Thank You The Gaydosh Family

I cannot express in words how much fun our families (6 families ages 5-70) had at this home. The cove is great for swimming and floating. Such relaxation! We boated and rode a jet ski all week. Some went golfing nearby, but we mostly left only to go to the grocery store or to golf. We enjoyed just spending time with each other, playing games, watching movies, cooking, etc. One of the best vacations I have ever had and the lake is so beautiful and clean. I highly recommend.
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to post your experience at Happy Hour. We love to hear that families enjoy it as well as we do. The cove is great for hanging out and everyone loves the slide and Tiki Bar. Please come back for a visit soon. Thank You Andrew

I can't say enough about this house! My family and I take a trip once a year with 3-4 other families and have stayed in plenty of other rental properties and this one by far is the best! The layout of the house is perfect for large groups and the amenities are awesome. The kitchen sizes are great for cooking and the game room downstairs is perfect for entertaining the kids while the adults are on one of the other levels entertaining. And the dock talk about entertaining. We spent most of our time on the dock with the awesome slide that goes right into the water and all the families love that we had enough room for all three boats and the wave runners. Another awesome feature was how close it is to town by car and how close it is to our 3 favorite marinas. OK, I've rambled on enough! As you can tell we love Happy Hour and we have already booked our next vacation there.
Owner response:Thank you Melissa for such a positive review of our vacation home. My wife and I love to hear when families love Happy Hour. We designed and furnished it with family vacations in mind and tried to think of everything we could to accomodate large groups with individual family needs. We love the location and dock as well, we have a hard time getting our little ones off the slide and in the boat when it is time to go for a ride. Please come back and visit us again, we always love to accomodate our many repeat guests. Thanks again Andrew and Dawn Gaydosh
