Spent the week with our whole family to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary. Plenty of space for a large family. Well equipped kitchen to feed everyone. We had a great time.
We really enjoyed our stay! Many great features in this house! I would love to get my friends to rent with me but I don’t think many of them could handle the steps well to get to the pier. It’s a lot of steps! That didn’t deter any of us though including my 82 yr old brother. My family had such a great time on and by the pier and enjoying the kayaks! I would love to come back again! I recommend renting a pontoon boat too. Loved our family reunion
My extended family came together from around the country to celebrate my 80th birthday. Our experience at the property was everything I expected and hoped for when I booked the property. The website photos are accurate and truly representative of the property so it was nice to have no unexpected surprises. All the amenities, from fishing to kayaking to swimming to games were thoroughly enjoyed. Lastly, the property was exceptionally clean and well furnished with quality furniture.
We've enjoyed our vacation stays at this property several times and have always found the property clean and well supplied and maintained. We are planning additional stays at this great house.
Property is just as described. The kitchen had everything we needed. We loved all of the seating space and counter top space. The house met all of our needs and more.. We had a wonderful time!

Emerald view house
The house is absolutely beautiful and has everything you need! I'm sure it's better in the summer when the lake is up. It was a VERY steep climb from the bottom of the stairs to the floating dock, I didn't even make it to the dock. The whole back yard is very steep and not safe for little children. I really enjoyed the fire pit it was nice. There are a few things the owners need to fix but other than that it was good.
We had a wonderful time at The Emerald View Home. We love the time we spend in the mountains and loved our drive into the home! Yes, it was a bit off the beaten path, but that’s what we expected when we booked in the mountains! Eric responded quickly to a few questions we had and was a great host! We had 24 family members, ages ranging from 74-1. There was plenty of space for everyone! The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed! We loved that there was seating for everyone in the kitchen/dinning area! We spent most of our evenings sitting at the tables playing games. There was plenty of space to play several different games at the same time.We are already planning a summer vacation for 2026! Hopefully the water temp will be warmer! We did jump off the dock but with the 50 degree water it was a bit of a shock! But the thrill was fun! Thanks for sharing your home with our family.
Our organization spent 4 days at the Emerald View Lodge and had a wonderful time! The accommodations were excellent, rooms were super comfortable and spacious, the kitchen layout was very functional, there were plenty of dishes, cookware and kitchen appliances, grills for all our necessities. The location is very peaceful and conducive for a relaxing stay! Thank you so much!!
We were excited for a week here, but the pictures didn't do this place justice! We had a great time. The house is awesome! The location is very quiet and peaceful. The lake was clean and refreshing! Well remember this vacation for a long time. Everyone wanted to come again next year!
This is our second stay at this beautiful property. It is always very clean and has every necessity that you can think of. We love the view of the lake and the expansive porches for sitting and relaxing. Eric is very quick to respond to any questions that we might have.
Emerald View is a fantastic property. Its everything described in the listing. Ample room for our 18 guests with room for plenty more. Area is fantastic for a laid back and relaxing vacation.
Had a family gathering everyone enjoyed their stay. The house and deck areas are so well laid out for relaxing and just talking with each other. Kitchen area is over the top for preparation of food and space.
Everything was as listed, clean, and in working order. The house was well supplied with kitchen appliances, utensils and linens. There was plenty of space for us to gather in large and small groups. We're looking forward to staying at Emerald View again.
Wonderful house with lots of common areas to spread out in. With Eric's help, we rented a pontoon boat so were able to get a good feel about the size of the lake. It was in October, so we had most of the lake to ourselves.
The house was beautiful, we stayed for a week with our family. So much fun all in one house. We would definitely stay again. Eric was super helpful when issues arose.

About the host
Hosted by Eric Thorla
Dana and I live in Pickerington, Ohio and have four children and six grandchildren. I am retired from the telecommunications industry where I was an engineer for 33 years. My wife Dana is a successful real estate agent in the Central Ohio area. We love walking, biking, skiing, boating and traveling.
Why they chose this property
We have been vacationing at Norris Lake for over 10 years with our family and friend groups and fell in love with the deep, clean emerald waters of Tennessee. We wanted to rent a home for our large family and found how difficult it was to find a place to rent. The large rental homes were booked one year in advance so we decided to build our own.
What makes this property unique
We love this location because of the private, protected, calm cove waters, perfect for swimming off the dock, in year-around deep, clean beautiful water. The home is built as close to the lake as the TVA allows which offers a gentle slope from the house to the lake. We have added the following to our home: A Theater Room (to attract people outside of the swimming and boating season), a Double Decker covered 2 slip boat dock and Fire pit area. We hope you will enjoy this as much as we have.
