Our family had a great time! If you are looking for a basic home for a large group in a great location for a reasonable price, this is your place. If you are looking for a perfectly decorated, high end luxury home, this is not your place. It was our first time at Norris Lake we and fell in love with the beauty and fun. It did rain on and off during our stay but we still had plenty of time to boat and swim. The dock and slide were a big hit with the kids and adults. The cove was like the end of a cul-de-sac with room for the kids to swim and play in the water.
Pros: Lots of rooms, great for large groups, beautiful cove location with no fast boats or traffic, nice new dock with slide, fire pit, hot tub, double kitchen, and plenty of parking. Game room tucked away in the basement for kid to play away from the adults.
Cons: You need to bring ALL soaps and paper products and you need to make your own beds upon arrival. This is clearly stated in the description and I’m sure this is to keep costs down, just be prepared. The bed linens and mattresses are a bit worn out, so if you are picky about that, bring your own sheets. The house and furniture could use some cosmetic maintenance, but everything functioned well. (We did need to reattach the dryer vent, but it worked fine after).
Overall, I would stay again. We looked at dozens of homes in the area and for the price, this house is a great value.
