My husband and I, our 6-year-old son, parents and sister and brother-in-law enjoyed a weeklong stay at Whatta View. So many positives about this house it's hard to know where to start. So, we'll go with the obvious...the VIEW! Something we loved about the view, was that you are looking across the lake to undeveloped land. So, you aren't facing other houses. Just beautiful Norris Lake.
The house is three levels with a great layout. Two bedrooms upstairs share a jack and jill bathroom. The main floor has a master with the attached hall bath. The basement level also has two bedrooms that share a bathroom. Roomy is an understatement. You can spread out in this house and still have plenty of space. Huge big screen TV in the main room with plenty of seating for all. So many cute touches in the décor that celebrates the lake life.
We certainly enjoyed all the amenities. The pool table got a lot of use, as well as ping-pong, the cute custom Norris Lake corn hole boards and the HOT TUB! It was so nice when temperatures dropped to get in and warm up and enjoy the lake view. The fire pit, down near the water, was a special treat to roast marshmallows. There are plenty of seats and even a table. And firewood and skewers were provided. The dock has two picnic tables and 4 chairs for your comfort. We fished off the dock each day. Kayaks and a paddle boat were also such a treat to have provided. The waters were so clear and clean, which was lovely. It is a steeper trek down to the dock but completely doable. Marie the owner gives plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, softener, etc. The kitchen literally is stocked with any type of cookware you would need. With plenty of plates, utensils, silverware, etc.
We would definitely love to stay again and look forward to that time. Norris Lake is a beautiful area. We also were close enough (50 min) to go to Knoxville and enjoy the zoo one day and dinner. We rented a pontoon from the local marina to enjoy the lake as well. The only thing we would love to see next time, would be faster internet speeds. All in all, this is one not to be missed if looking for a house that literally provides all the amenities and Whatta View!
