We stayed at this property with 21 family members for a week. The house was absolutely beautiful and the dock was amazing! The property manager was amazing to communicate with. Definitely a great vacation!!!
Check in was seamless. Great kitchen with everything you need. Good wi-fi, large house with tons of room inside and outside. Nice furniture and comfortable beds. Well with the money.
Everything about Waker’s Paradise was exactly as described and we had an absolute fabulous time. We had more than enough space for our group of 22. Our group has been traveling together for 10 years and this was without a doubt the best stocked house in the kitchen with everything you could need. We will be back!
Everything was great but if internet and cable is important to you, you might be disappointed.

The home is located in the mountains and we are restricted to satellite cable and internet. We do have dish network cable on 6 of the 12 TVs in the home. When they stayed we had a lot of rain and storms so the cable was a bit choppy and that is out of our control. As for the internet we do have HughesNet which is the only provider available, and we are restricted on how fast it is based off weather as well. This is all due to the location on the water in the cumberland mountains.
Norris Lake was amazing. Brittany with the Management Group was available to answer all questions and made sure we were well taken care of. Rented a boat from Oasis Watersports, and they delivered right to the house. We could not have asked for a better experience.
Great house! Having two of everything was great! House had plenty of dishes and silverware. And lots of space for multiple families. The dining room table benches were a little uncomfortable, but a great addition. The slide water pump pumped the water in the opposite direction so that was a little challenging, but otherwise everything else was perfect.
the house was beautiful and clean when we got there, the cleaning staff did an excellent job getting it ready for us.The location on the lake was awesome, the road to the place was not he best but it was all worth it,we had a great time and all wishing we wouldve gotten ot for another week,but reality set in and we had to come home.Hoping to be able to come back soon. BEST VACATION EVER!!!!!!!!!
We had 5 families stay at wakers paradise. We love having the private bathrooms in most bedrooms. The large kitchen with double appliances was perfect. The property manager was responsive and helpful.
This was a great property and had plenty of space for everyone to spread out. It is a great location it just takes a while to get to since it is at the end of a long no wake zone. It was nice that you didn't have to worry about a bunch of traffic when the kids were swimming. The neighborhood trailer parking was really tight and not a good set up, and the road to the boat ramp is really steep.

Enjoyed our stay, some issues with wasp on second floor and a few safety issues with railings. Would not recommend this home if you have small children as there are many steps....living room is small, not as large as pictures show. We had 14 adults and 7 kids from 1yr to 13yrs. Not as clean as some VRBO'S we have stayed in....mold and mildew in showers...windows very dirty and the lake was lowered before we got there...

Thank you for taking the time to share feedback. We’re very glad you enjoyed your stay, and we appreciate the opportunity to address the items mentioned during your stay.
As soon as we were notified of two loose railings leading to the dock, our team was onsite and completed repairs within two hours. We take safety seriously and have happily hosted many families with young children over the years without concern—guests simply understand that our home is nestled in the beautiful woods and mountains, and natural terrain and elevation changes are part of that setting.
Regarding the insects, the issue involved bees (not wasps). With the crisp fall weather in the Cumberland Mountains, occasional insects can be unavoidable, but we treated the area immediately upon notification to ensure your comfort and have monthly pest control service.
We are also disappointed to hear mention of mildew and cleanliness concerns, as this was not reported during your stay, and we pride ourselves on a clean home. Had we been aware, we would have immediately addressed it just as quickly and thoroughly as we did the other items you brought to our attention. Guest satisfaction and responsiveness are always our priority.
In terms of space, our home offers three living rooms, and the photos accurately represent the open-concept kitchen and main living area, which many previous guests have complimented for being spacious and inviting.
Finally, we clearly note in our listing that water levels naturally recede after Labor Day, which is standard for the lake and the season (October).
We are committed to providing a clean, welcoming, and well-maintained home for all our guests. We are happy your group enjoyed your stay overall and wish you many more great travel experiences in the future.
This house was perfect for our gathering. Spacious,accommodating our group of 20 easily, even for dining.We had all that we needed. It is located in an area that is meant for summer gatherings, but had things to do inside as well. We would recommend this house.
Beautiful home, and quiet lake property. It was perfect for a family weekend!
The entire family enjoyed it, and loved the location. They all came from out of town so some toiletries (hand soap, shampoo, more dishwashing soap) would have nice to have instead of having to bring them.
The boat ramp is very steep.. but we managed.
We absolutely loved it here.. would stay again!
The house was great - very spacious, clean and easy to navigate. The beds were amazing! We've all stayed on terrible cheap VRBO mattresses but everyone agreed that these were heaven. The kitchen was perfect for our large family. The location is a bit far down the no-wake zone but it wasn't too bad. The owner was also extremely responsive to all questions. We'd definitely stay here again. Wonderful trip. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay. The kitchen is amazing with the appliances and supplies. The only problem is the air conditioning. It is not at all sufficient for the 2 lower levels. It was hot!
We really did have a blast! Thank you!
We have stayed in this cove multiple times with our large crew. We love the location, the seclusion, and the house! The house is big enough that the 17 of us always have plenty of room. The double fridge, ovens, and dishwasher are always a must with such a large group. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you need. The game rooms are always an added bonus. The bed are comfortable and the house is always clean. Lookong forward to our stay again next year!
If you are looking for a place to gather with family and friends, this is a great choice. We stayed in November to celebrate my dad’s 80th birthday, so the lake was not a huge draw. The water level was down by the house this time of year and not useable (we knew this and didn’t plan to have a boat). We chose this place as the location was central for us and it was large to accommodate our group of 20. Plenty of beds, kitchen was large with two of everything, and two large tables for dining. The golden T golf game was fun, as was the ping pong and hot tub. This neighborhood is full of rentals, so if you are coming with a group and need more than one house, you could easily find another close by. We walked the neighborhood in the morning, it has a few very steep hills, so you will get a workout for sure! Driveway accommodated our six vehicles. Overall, we enjoyed this place for a weekend with family. We said it would be fun to come in the summer and bring a boat!
We visited this place with a large company and spent this time with a lot of emotions. Everyone had equal conditions for rest and everyone was satisfied! The only thing that upsets is the lack of a pier near the water. There was no opportunity to enjoy the quiet atmosphere of nature by dipping our feet in the water. But this did not prevent our company from spending this time unforgettable)))
Our family (four generations) stayed at Waker's Paradise to celebrate my parents' 50th wedding anniversary. It was a perfect location for making memories and celebrating family.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook for a crowd and the lake itself provided access to fun activities for all ages. There's a rope swing right across from the lake house and the jumping bridge is very close by.
Additionally, I have never experienced faster or more responsive communication than we did from the owners. We faced a few hiccups when moving in that were completely outside of the owners' control and we were in shock by the effort that they invested to address those concerns. You can tell that they are committed to making sure their guests have good experiences.
Overall, I highly recommend Waker's Paradise. Everyone is already asking when we can go back.
3rd year in a row staying at Lake Norris for Labor Day Weekend.
This house was great! Plenty of room, everything we need, and the location on the water is nice. We have kids all ages and they love using the dock with jumping area and slide! Great memories with family and friends!
We rented this house to be able to host our family and a few friends for our wedding ceremony (on the upper level of the dock) and it was absolutely perfect. The house was beautiful. The location and views were stunning. We loved having two of each appliance in the kitchen. The game room in the basement + hot tub and corn hole on the decks were awesome. Our whole group had a blast and we are all sad to be back to reality. Well worth the investment- you won’t regret it!!
