Lake Norris has about 800 miles of shoreline while a few areas are zoned for residential development and marinas, most of the lake is uninhabited and you have miles of water shoreline with coves that you can enjoy. While picking the location for our home, we had 3 criteria: ✬ Safety: Where our kids and families can enjoy the lake, swim around safely near the deck and dive from our private dock. ✬ Family: Our home is situated in a cove away from the traffic but have a view of the lake from all bedrooms. There is no concept of a master bedroom, we have 4 identical bedrooms with attached bath with beautiful view of the lake and individual walk out to the deck. The other 2 bedrooms in the upper floor was designed for families with kids, where they cannot walk out to the deck by themselves and be safe with parents. You will be pleased to find all four master bedrooms and bathrooms were equal in size and features. The same is true for the two bunk bed rooms (for families with kids). This will make it easy for everyone to pick a room. ✬ Location: Quickly accessible to free waterway and also close to marinas where families can go grab a bite and get their boats/jet skis refilled.

Thank you for your kind words about our property. We are glad your family enjoyed time together. The 4 master bedroom 2 bunk room layout is a pleaser for large groups.
We had four families together for the Thanksgiving holiday and we loved every bit of our stay at the lake house. We were a bit surprised at how steep the driveway was from the road however we were able to navigate that safely and some of us just left vehicles up at the top of the hill and walked down. With eight adults and 7 teenagers, we had plenty of room to spread out, plenty of bedding, and hang out area for everyone. The views are great and the hot tub was a plus for chilly nights. There was plenty of kitchen items for our Thanksgiving meal.The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. We would love to return.

Extraordinary Lake House
This is very nice lake house with a great location, and responsive owners.
This was our 4th time to stay at Blue Grotto. The layout of the home and the location are perfect for our 3 families, and we have made many wonderful memories on our trips here! Owners are wonderful, and we have already booked for next year!
We had a fantastic time at this property for the long holiday weekend. The house is gorgeous and clean with many amenities. The view is outstanding and the location is ideal. The host was very accommodating and the process was very hassle free.

Very nice property with a very interesting driveway
This property is setup very well. The driveway is a bit intimidating initially
Beautiful view of the lake
We really enjoyed the vacation at this location
House is perfect for large group. We had 4 couples and lots of children. Perfect accommodations for everyone. Kitchen is well stocked. We cooked every meal for a week there and were never short on any kitchen need. Dock is perfect for hanging out. Great vacation

About the host
Hosted by NorrisCrestLLC
We have been visiting Lake Norris with our family, friends and kids for years. We rented lake front homes with multiple families in various Norris Lake locations to experience first hand what family, friends and kids would look for in an ideal vacation home, before purchasing beautiful Blue Grotto. This home was designed specifically for multiple families to gather, and we love it, and love sharing it with other families making memories together too! We are from Cincinnati, OH and have lived there for over 25 years. Please read the reviews from various guests; they speak for themselves.
Why they chose this property
Lake Norris has about 800 miles of shoreline while a few areas are zoned for residential development and marinas, most of the lake is uninhabited and you have miles of water shoreline with coves that you can enjoy. While picking the location for our home, we had 3 criteria: ❤ Safety: Where our kids and families can enjoy the lake, swim around safely near the deck and dive from our private dock. ❤ Family: Our home is situated in a cove away from the traffic but have a view of the lake from all bedrooms. There is no concept of a master bedroom, we have 4 identical bedrooms with attached bath with beautiful view of the lake and individual walk out to the deck. The other 2 bedrooms in the upper floor was designed for families with kids, where they cannot walk out to the deck by themselves and be safe with parents. ❤ Location: Last but not the least, should be quickly accessible to free waterway but also close to marinas where families can go grab a bite and get their boats/jet skis refilled.
We feel that we have accomplished all these criteria in choosing a location and designing our home and dock.
