Thanks for the kind words, Kip. For future readers, please allow me to clarify our WiFi. As of this writing (8/2021) our internet is Viasat satellite internet. While we too are anxiously awaiting Elon Musk's forthcoming and highly anticipated SpaceX internet offering, Viasat presents our best option for speed and reliability to date. Satellite internet is not unlimited internet. We buy a package of data. Once that data has been used, while the internet will still work, speeds can be impacted. As such, we limit our guests to 4GB of data per day. 4GB per day is plenty of data for web surfing, emails, etc. For example, our neighbors are full time residents, both work from home (he is in tech sales) and they have the same internet service and package I have. What eats up data is video downloads (think YouTube, TikTok, Amazon Prime, Netflix, etc.). We have a full library of movies at the house as well as Dish TV. There is a Redbox video rental at the Walgreens in Lafollette which has a bunch of first run and popular recently out of the theater movies.

Thanks you for your feedback. We are really happy the house and dock met or exceeded your expectations. Regarding our hill - the last 1/3 of the hill to our house – We have a paved concrete walkway from the house to the lake. No way around it, 1/3 of the hill is steep. For Norris Lake it is steeper than some houses but not as steep as many others. The good thing is that there are no stairs to climb from the lake to the house. As such, we recommend that our guests consider renting a golf cart. Ron’s Golf Carts in Lafollette has provided carts to many of our renters over the years. Finally, our neighbor Bill comes by to each rental and introduces himself. He is a 75 year old, married and full-time resident of Norris Lake. I sincerely apologize that he startled anyone in this group. I will discuss this with him to make sure it doesn't happen again. I do hope that once you did meet him, that you are as engaged with him as many previous renters have commented in their reviews.

Owner response: This unfair review is from a disgruntled renter that caused damage during the rental and became belligerent when a portion of the deposit was not returned. While 3 different items were in good working order the weekend prior to their rental (I know this because we were using our house immediately prior to their rental), they denied any responsibility for the very obvious damage and became confrontational when a portion of the deposit was retained to repair the damage and replace the items broken. Furthermore, they were notified the week prior to their rental that the washing machine was inoperable, that the repair had been initiated and that parts were on order and in transit. These negative comments are unfair. I have a robust email trail showing the belligerence and irrationality of the issue as well as pictures as confirmation of the damage done. I would happily provide this as background to my contention that this review is not factually correct and unreasonably slanderous. Please note the comments this renter made the year prior to see that they are in line with each and every other review we have ever had: "The Vogel lake house was just perfect for what our family was looking for! We had all ages ranging from 2-77 years old. The house is clean, comfortable, well-decorated and perfect for kids. The paved path, which led to the nicest dock I have ever been on, was perfect for people who might not be so steady on their feet. The special bonus was how kind the Vogel family was on working with us on our last minute stay. We hope to return for many years!!!"

Thanks, Bob. ...and yes, you're welcome any time! BV

I hope future prospective renters will see that there are four concepts discussed in this review. 1.) Our house and dock 2.) Cell service at our house 3.) The elevation change between our house and the lake, specifically, the steepness of the paved walkway the last 1/3rd of the hill to our house 4.) The unaffiliated third party golf cart rental company that was a disappointment to this renter While the first point speaks for itself in the comments provided, I would like to address the other three: Cell service – There is poor and uneven cell service all over Norris Lake. Some carriers work well in one place on or around the lake but poorly in another. We have Verizon and are able to text reliably from our house, however, the call quality is inconsistent and depends on the phone, location in the house, dock, lake, etc. We provide a landline for our guests to use and include complimentary long distance for any calls that need to be made. The last 1/3 of the hill to our house – We have a paved concrete walkway from the house to the lake. No way around it, 1/3 of the hill is steep. For Norris Lake it is steeper than some houses but not as steep as many others. The good thing is that there are no stairs to climb from the lake to the house. As such, we recommend that our guests consider renting a golf cart. Ron’s Golf Carts in Lafollette has provided carts to many of our renters over the years. Golf cart rental - We are in no way affiliated with a golf cart rental provider. We make a recommendation of one who has garnered good reviews from previous renters. With that said, while the above Renter’s experience is obviously disappointing, I would hope future readers of this review would separate the experience with the golf cart rental company from the house that was rented. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you may have regarding our house.
