Absolutely loved our stay!We’ve stayed on the other side of the lake before with a private dock, and were pretty apprehensive about being on the busier end, with no dedicated place to swim. I thought we’d have to drive all the way to Big Creek to get out of traffic, but found that going left out of the dock, there were several great coves (safe with limited traffic) across from the peninsula that were perfect for anchoring down, tubing, etc. The central location to Sugar Hollow (LOVED the water park), Shanghai, Springs and TIki Hut was awesome. Flat Hollow (karaoke on Thursday!) was a nice cruise away (about 20 min).While you don’t go to Norris for the pool, it was nice that we had that option. Needs some updates, (no liner, so our littles’ ended up with scratched toes), but clean and refreshing. Had it to ourselves most of the time. A bit of a long drive to get there… Appreciated the bumpers on the dock… especially given that the dock is not in a no wake zone and things got a little wavy on weekends. The drive down to the dock might be seen as a con for some, but we loved the safety for our little kids and not having to walk up stairs or a big hill made our trip so much more enjoyable. The house was stunning. Beds were so comfortable (even the one on the floor in theater!), and the couch … chefs kiss. Loved having coffee every morning on the deck looking out over the lake. Truly the best house. Still sad to not be waking up there every morning.
