We had a wonderful time at this property. We had 13 adults and 4 kids. The house was very clean and comfortable!Having two refrigerators was a plus!!We rented a golf cart to get some of the older people and coolers down to the dock which was a big help. The lake water was clean and warm and we were it in all the time. Everyone enjoyed this place and will be back!!Communication with the host and excellent and the information packet awesome!
Beautiful property. Close enough to small town if needed but we did Instacart mostly. The kitchen had everything we needed when cooking for a large group. The host was amazing! She sent us tons of information. So helpful since we have never been to the area. One of our top vacations!!!

Thank you so much for your kind review! I'm so glad our guest guide and local recommendations helped you make the most of your first trip to Norris Lake. It was a pleasure hosting your group, and we'd love to welcome you back for another stay!
Serenity Now is a fantastic place to stay and celebrate the good things in life with family and friends. The cabin is has plenty of space to stretch out, it was clean, and had all the essentials. The host is easy to communicate with, check-in was a breeze, and check-out instructions were clear. My family and I recommend this cabin for anyone seeking a low stress getaway with a beautiful mountain and water backdrop.

Great home for a family gathering. Enough space for everyone. The kitchen was fantastic with 2 fridges and all of the cooking supplies. A couple of the rooms were on the chilly side, but overall they were very nice n

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We’re glad your family had plenty of space and enjoyed the kitchen setup for your Thanksgiving celebration. We appreciate the note about a couple of the rooms feeling chilly — we’ll take a look. So happy you had a great stay, and we’d love to host you again!
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house on Lake Norris! The home itself was spacious, very clean, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable trip. The lake views were absolutely stunning, and we spent a lot of time enjoying the water. The dock was a highlight—perfect for relaxing, swimming, and taking in the scenery. Everyone in our group had a wonderful time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We’d definitely come back!

Everything was great and comfortable. The house was a good size and the location and view is beautiful and very quiet neighborhood. I would recommend to the people for a family vacation to spend time together.

Thanks so much for your kind words. We enjoyed hosting your family this holiday season. You are welcome back anytime!
This property is amazing! Beautiful home in a gorgeous setting, with a double-decker dock right on the lake. The jumping bridge is just right around a bend in the lake.This is the second time our family has stayed here, and we'd love to come back. Sara is as good a host as you will find. She's friendly and very quick to respond.
I've stayed in many homes on Norris and I think this has been my favorite. The lake access is rather secluded and the boat traffic minimal making for a very peaceful stay. Sara was an excellent host and I appreciate all of the communication throughout the process. Thank you!

Thanks for your thoughtful review, Brad. We also think Serenity Now is a special place with a perfect location. The quiet cove allows guests to truly enjoy their time swimming and hanging out on the dock. We were happy to host you and hope to host you again in the future.
Homeowner communication was excellent & the photos/website are 100% accurate! The location is great for large gatherings and the home was very clean and would recommend to all!
Also - as suggested - Oasis WaterSports was a great source for all boat rental needs -

Thanks Amy. I am glad you had a good time. Your group is welcome back anytime!
The cabin was great for our whole extended family (a total of 17 of us). There was plenty of room for each of our 5 families. We were able to hang out together in the main spaces, or retreat to their own quiet area when tired. The dock was amazing and the water was super clear with a greenish hue (apparently from the limestone and depth of water). Sara (the host) was on top of any issues we had and did everything in her power to help. She was an excellent host!

Kids had a blast at the dock everyday. Weather was perfect along with a very warm lake to relax in. Always have fun going by the jumping bridge everyday to see all the action. Would stay at this house again for sure. We had a small issue with one of the toilets not flushing and the problem was fixed within the hour. There was also a great packet from our hosts which was very helpful.

Jason - I'm glad to your hear you had a great stay and experience at Serenity Now. We would certainty welcome your family back to stay again.
We had a really great time. The house is very nice. It does have a TON of stairs, in the house and to get to the lake. Some are very steep. The beds were all very hard and the 2nd floor king bedroom had a tv but isn’t connected to anything so you can’t watch it. In all we had a good time and the lake is beautiful!

This property was amazing. The property manager was very thorough and easy to deal with and responded very quickly. The property was very well updated and stocked. The dock was amazing. This was one of the best houses we have stayed in at Norris Lake
They even had a welcome package for us when we walked in. It was nothing short of amazing. Thank you so much.

We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at Serenity Now. We take pride in providing timely communications, a well-stocked and welcoming home as well as top-notch amenities like the 2-story dock. Thanks for staying with us and we hope to host you again in the future.
We rented this home, and an adjacent for a bi-annual weeklong summer family reunion. The home provided lots of indoor and outdoor entertaining space to use and sleeping quarters that we could divide up for this who wanted to be further away from the common spaces. The docks are a lot of fun for the whole family too, and while there are steps to access, we all got used to it and the trip up and down is worth it for the beautiful views and swimming / water sport fun. Thank you to the host, who was helpful and responsive too!

Thanks for staying. We have also learned to embrace the steps for the reward of the lake. Hope to host you again soon.
Great property! The owner and property manager were both very responsive to a few questions/concerns that we had. The beds were very comfy. Weeds around the steps/firepit were a bit overgrown and housed a smelly black & white critter that hisses at folks as you pass by but it didn't deter us from the amazing dock! In our opinion the best part of the whole place. So many wonderful memories made. We will be returning to Norris next yr!

Thanks Micki. I'm glad you had a great time and enjoyed the dock. That is our favorite spot as well. Thanks for the heads up on landscaping. We will have someone out asap to trim. Thanks for the opportunity to host you and your family. You are welcome back anytime.
We love this home and location! Close to Sugar Hollow, Shanghai, Deerfield, jumping bridge plus all the fun water/boating. When we're not out and about we LOVE hanging out on the double decker dock. This was our second time at Serenity Now and it did not disappoint. The kitchen has been remodeled and furniture replaced since our first visit. Very nice! There are two refrigerators, perfect for a large group. The whole property is well maintained and clean. The owner was quick to answer questions. We're hoping to stay again soon!

Thanks for taking the time to submit a review for Serenity Now. We also love the convenient location or simply hanging out on the dock. I'm glad you love it as much as we do. We enjoyed hosting you and look forward to hosting you again in the future.
We had a great time at Serentiy Now -Norris Lake. The house is just as advertised and the dock is amazing. We enjoyed the slide and jumping off the top so much - kids did so many jumps! Lounging in the water was safe and clean. Our only recommendation for this home is a better air conditioning unit. It was very warm in most areas of the home. Thank you for letting us rent your house - we loved our stay and hope to return to Norris next year.

Thanks!

This house has it all - plenty of space, everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable beds and an amazing dock. The property is as described in the listing, but the photo's don't do it justice. We really loved the cute canvas welcome bag the owners gave us. Nice touch! Communication with the owners was easy and they were very responsive. Unfortunately, I had to do some work during this stay but the wifi worked great. The TV's are also smart, so you are able to log into your accounts and watch Netflex, Hulu, etc in the evening. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay and enjoy your very special lake house!

Thank you so much for the awesome 5-star review! We are glad you were able to take advantage of our many amenities. It was a pleasure to host you. We look forward to hosting you again in the future.
Highly recommend the property for larger groups at a reasonable price. The property perfectly matched the listing, and the owners were easy to reach and gracious. Our only issue is that cell service was spotty, but that’s understandable. The remoteness was one of the selling points. The only other problem is that to accommodate so many with ample meeting space meant the property has 5 levels. That is a lot of steps. We were celebrating 50th birthdays, so our knees will need some resting up. Highly recommended.

About the host
Hosted by Brett and Sara Cisler with Soar Vacations
We’ve always loved lake life and the joy it brings — especially the memories made boating, fishing, and swimming with family and friends. There’s just something about the carefree, relaxing vibe of the lake that feels like family life at its best.
After spending time at Lakeside Estates on Norris Lake, we knew this was where we wanted to create our own getaway. That’s how Serenity Now was born — and later, Beats Workin’ joined the fun! These homes have become the backdrop for countless moments with our loved ones, from dockside lounging and bridge-jumping to full-speed adventures on the water.
We’re excited to share that experience with you. Our goal is to go above and beyond to help you create lasting memories that keep you coming back to beautiful Norris Lake.
