First and foremost, the house was massive compared to the pictures on here. Plenty of hang out areas and bedrooms were good sized. It really felt like home. Main level bedroom where my wife and I slept had shampoo and soap which was nice. A couple things we would have liked was more lighting from the ceiling. Like recessed lighting of some sort. Trees could be trimmed some around the driveway. These were minor things. All in all we will probably be back next year to stay again, I highly recommend staying here. Also the owner was very good at communicating.

This property can accommodate a large party with all the bedrooms there. The kitchen was big enough to handle the needs for the 8 of us that stayed there for our trip. We only had a few minor issues (internet was very slow and made it hard to even stream from the Roku) and the cleaning crew missed the microwave from the previous stay. The property was large enough for us to store two boat trailers on it and still have room to park 4 vehicles. We will probably consider coming back if we have the need for a house this big down at Norris Lake.

Awesome Stay!

My group of 6 adults and kids had a wonderful time at this spacious & well appointed cabin. Most of our time was spent outside which was perfect (including so close we could walk to marina with small kids). We will be back!

Perfect Thanksgiving

Property was just as described, better than the pictures. Lots of room and rooms, which we needed. Maybe the best was the outdoor space. Very inviting as you drive in, with the fire pit surrounded by seating.

Wonderful Stay

The house is far nicer than the pictures show it to be. Everything was clean. There was plenty of room and places to hang out. Any sort of game or activity you could imagine is there for your use. I would highly recommend staying here whether with family or friends

House was great! Had 3 families.

All the adults and the kids Had a great time. Wonderful and friendly neighborhood. Fire pit was a great success to sit around in the evening. We would have liked the upstairs to be cooler. Was hot in the bedrooms. Overall would rent again. Wonderful trip!

Very roomy

The house was in a great location that we had 13 people altogether three of them being children, and there was plenty of room. The only one thing that I would say on the minus side is the seventh bedroom I would not consider a bedroom because it’s in a common area other than that, I still give it a 4 out 5. The host stayed in communication the whole time very friendly people.

Awesome, spacious home to share lake time with family!

Our extended family of 16 stayed at The Dancing Dog to gather to celebrate our mother's 80 birthday and we could not have been more pleased with the accommodations. The home was clean and inviting. The owners, Dana and Manuel, made us feel welcome by making sure we had no questions or issues during our stay. While we could not make use of the fire pit do due rainy weather in the evenings, there was plenty of room for the family to play games/cards and reminisce. We would recommend The Dancing Dog for a stay at Norris Lake.

Lakehouse

We really enjoyed staying at this lakehouse. The amenities were endless. The house was clean and stocked plentiful. We had guests ranging from 83 years of age to under a year. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms for privacy for the 15 guests. The older kids enjoyed the hot tub and the adults enjoyed the porch swing and fire pit. We had a handicapped guest as well and entrance was accessible along with showering. We highly recommend this property for a large group.

Family vacation

The space of this property was nice. There was plenty of room for everyone including our fur babies. The property was at the top of a hill and a pretty steep walk to get to the marina. Down was okay but going back up carrying our boating things was a challenge. The outside space and tree covered lot was amazing. The cleanliness of the inside of the house could have been better.

Potential needs TLC

The property is spacious and has great potential however there were a few issues. Too few bath towels, plumbing issues, it was a hot week so we had to buy fans for the upstairs the AC would not support the size of the house. The beds were comfortable. The place is listed animal friendly so expect some dog hair.

Family Vacation

The property was accurately depicted and was perfect for our family get-away! My husband and I, our 3 kids and their spouses, and the 10 grandkids (ages 1 through 14) stayed 5 days, 4 nights and LOVED this unique, well-kept older property! Large wooded lot, plenty of parking space for our 4 vehicles and boat trailer (5th vehicle one day when another family member came for half a day from nearby). We played volleyball, enjoyed the hot tub, and played in the beautiful yard and patio/porches. A real treat was discovering the swing that each one of us took turns on swinging out over the tree tops!!! (Except the one year old twins😬) Our host was EXCEPTIONAL, answering all our questions about the home and nearby activities. Always quick to respond and eager to make our stay and GRAND one! We look forward to returning again soon.

Everything was perfect!

Where to begin?? Dana and Manuel were the PERFECT hosts. They stayed in touch from the time I booked until the day of our arrival. They made sure we would have the best vacation. The location of the property was super convenient. Plenty of space for 13 of us and a couple dogs. Best fire pit for s’mores, and plenty of firewood provided to accommodate the indoor fireplaces as well. Home is charming, spacious and spotless. Everything was taken care of - plenty of cookware, utensils, etc. we didn’t need a thing. Loads of games...board games, darts, etc. Oh, and the COOLEST swing - kids and adults couldn’t get enough of it. My family couldn’t have been happier. Thanks again, Dana and Manuel. We had an amazing week.

Fun and entertaining

Firstly the host's were incredible, very supportive of our visit. They were able to secure a boat slip for us, provided us with a very entertaining property that the whole family enjoyed. Plenty of space, for the family to get together or spead out into quite spaces. Lots of parking, we had 5 vehicles and a boat trailer. Although it is close to the lake the walk is a bit of a hike coming back up to the property but a good cardio work out. The area is nice, even the neighbors were very friendly and cordial. All around a great stay. There was a little wonkiness with a couple of the bathroom sinks and one shower drain, but nothing to ruin the day. It is very rural and probably very hard to get service technicians out to the property in a timely manner. We had a group of 16 people of all ages and had a wonderful experience, i would recommend considering this property if you are looking to stay in the area.

There was room for all!!!!

We had a GREAT time at the Dancing Dog! It was big enough for all of our family. Yet it was so cozy and comfortable at the same time. We enjoyed all the games (inside and out). We really appreciated all the firewood. We were able to enjoy an inside and outside fire during our stay. The pantry had all the cooking items we needed and the double oven was a BIG plus for the Thanksgiving meal. A few items to note...These items are not in any way complaints, just notes for the next traveler. My elderly father could not traverse the stairs to the second floor. The short handrail made it difficult for him. He was able to stay downstairs, but we then had to rearrange families. The table lamps have dark shades, and there is not a lot of light in the rooms. We played a lot of games and needed more lighting. However, we loved the place! The drive in was a bit curvy. Be prepared! But Google maps took us right there! Thanks!!!!!

Wonderful charming place just a short walk to the marina. Beautiful property with plenty of room. We had 5 kids and 7 adults with room to spare. We rented a boat from springs dock marina for 2 days. Was able to dock it at the marina without issue. Walk was about 8-9 mins to and from marina from house. Hill on the way back but doable. House had plenty of amenities for guest. Linens. Toilet paper. Paper towels etc We ate at the marina as well as took our boat to tiki hut near deer field marina. Went to chapel hill winery about 8 min drive away. Gas station about 10 mins away. Cooked at the house a few times and the kitchen was well equipped.

Fantastic house and property, fire pit was my favorite part. Walk to marina is a bit farther than I expected, so we drove down and parked in designated area, we had a bunch of babies and the gear that goes with them. Overall a great trip, would go again anytime. Owners are super responsive to text and made everything perfect.

Gathering Good time!

There was a lot of flat outside space for games when not at the lake. The fire pit was a great area to unwind after a day on the lake. Even with the rain there was space to gather for indoor fun and conversation.

Dogwood acres

Property location was great. House was large and roomy, HOWEVER not in good condition. Noticeable musty odor, mice droppings throughout the house, generally not clean. Outdoor grill filthy with mold. Obviously would NOT recommend.

Great Stay

The homeowner is wonderful and easy to work with. The walk to and from the marina would be tough for the young or old but not uncommon for the area. This is a great home if you have kids or pets as there is a ton of flat outdoor space.
