Amazing stay

This house was amazing for what we needed. We enjoyed being right on the water. Then when the weather wasn’t the best we had games to play and warmed up in the hot tub. I would highly recommend this property for anyone looking to enjoy time in the lake!

Beautiful floating house and lake

The floating house was very clean and roomy for the four of us. Beds were very comfortable! We had an issue with the hot tub but the maintenance man was very quick to respond to questions. Beautiful lake but the weather was a bit too chilly that time of the year.

Cute little cabin!

What a great little piece of heaven! Not only is it cute as a button.. but it’s very clean and in a great location. The owner was very helpful and always available for questions and suggestions. The boat ramp is very easy, not steep and right there close to Froggies. We fished in the early mornings in the close coves and could be on the main lake in no time We will for sure book this again!

Family vacation

Stayed Thursday to Sunday. Used a local public ramp because it was my 1st trip with the 25 ft boat wanting to be cautious. The ramp was very close to the rental. Used Garmin to navigate to the cabin. The rental as as advertised and could comfortably sleep 10 with no one in a couch. We were just 4. The Whitman Hollow Marina was fun & accomodates guest boat parking to eat or hang at the bar. Lots of live music. This is the cleanest & best lake have been on. The view from this rental is perfect. Good padding to park the boat. Excellent support & quick response from the owner.

Thank you for viewing our property! We are a Florida family with two young boys and a puppy. We are happy to share our vacation home with you and your family to make Norris Lake memories just as we do! We treat our guests like family since this is our second home. We do not have multiple rental properties, so we are excited to make our guests feel like our home is theirs. Please let us know if you have any feed back! We would love to hear it. Thank you so much for considering our property!

Why they chose this property

We love Norris Lake because the majestic views and the unlimited fun you can have on the water. Norris Lake features several marinas all with unique experiences. Whitman Hollow where our home is located is known to be the "fun" marina. It features great food, great bar and often has live music. There is also jumping rock nearby which allows you to dive deep into Norris Lake if you are not afraid of heights. If you care to venture onto land, there are several places to go hiking and trails. There is a ton of beautiful mountain view on the lake and on land. Norris Lake is truly unforgettable. (Which is why we picked it :-)

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique because we are located on the far west part of the marina this allows us to have unobstructed views of beautiful sunset and mountain views. We are also located at Whitman Hollow Marina which is one of the "funnest" marinas on the lake. Plenty of live music and great food too!!
