There were only 20 steps to the lake which is hard to find at Norris making it a better experience for all

Property very clean. Great location. Enjoyed the private dock and lagoon. Blackstone grill made it very convenient to feed a large group. Plenty of refrigerator storage with the 2 refrigerators.Kayaks were fantastic.
We would recommend this place to everyone.

This is one of the easiest locations to get to on this side of the lake. Parking area is flat and fits multiple vehicles. Kitchen is well stocked, rooms are good sized and views from the dock are spectacular. Great location at the back of the cove, no water traffic so it’s great for spending time in the water. Flat Hollow Marina was been upgraded, make sure to try the cheese curds! We can’t wait to come back

All the folks involved in the rental process were great. Access to property was simple. Bedroom selections were perfect. Kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes, pots and pans, appliances we needed. Brought our kayaks, and really enjoyed the water front access. Price was very good. Looking forward to renting again.

The house and dock are in need of some repairs. Would not recommend for anyone who has problems with steps. No beach for the little ones. Everything needs to be done off the dock

Amazing water fun!
We had family from 4 states ranging from 5 to 63 years. The main floor was the hub for meals and adults, the lower level game room was perfect for the kids. The kitchen was adequately supplied for our needs (but no baking sheets for pizzas). The sleeping arrangements were great, just be aware, the lower the level, the cooler the sleeping conditions. I would suggest bringing fans for the upper bedrooms. The house was clean (but the stairs had some dust bunnies). Oh my, lots of stairs! I ate well, but didn't gain any weight! The dock was amazing for the whole group to hang out while swimming; it had hooks for life jackets and a line for hanging wet towels, a table and chairs (we also brought bag chairs). The water was like your own private space, with no worries about boats flying by, very clean and safe for swimming (most important for our group). If I had any suggestions it would be a railing for the crossing grate to get to the dock. We had 2 problems when we arrived and both were completely addressed quickly. Also note, there really isn't any yard space, we never got the bags game out but really we didn't miss it because we were either swimming, eating, playing indoors or sleeping. We didn't rent a boat, and never missed not having one. We brought lots of life jackets, floaties and noodles! We would definitely highly recommend this property for any large group of adults and kids, especially if you are looking for those who want to enjoy the water!

Family Vacation
Had a great experience, the location is fantastic. Basically you get your own private cove to hang out in. Overall the property was great, but there are some areas that could use some improvement. The stairs to the dock are not in great shape, and the bunk beds in the top room are only suitable for very young light children. The owner was terrific getting back to me , but the property management group did not respond to the text I sent regarding needing new light bulbs. In the grand scheme of things, minor complaints.

The house was spacious; we had 10 adults and could have had more but a few cancelled at the last minute. It was nice having the many levels of the house. There were plenty of bathrooms so that was great also. The kitchen had most everything that we needed; we cooked every night so it was wonderful having 2 refrigerators to store left overs. We LOVED being on the water; it was beautiful and warm! When we arrived, the dock ramp was broken; we were able to put that back together but it still did seem "shaky" the whole time we were there. It would have been nice to have a stair rail on this ramp and all the way up to the decks of the house as we had one person with special needs who had a hard time not having something to hold onto when crossing the lake and climbing part of the steps. Otherwise, the dock was great; we rented a boat through Flat Hollow Marina and that was a hit. The house is back off in a cove, so we had a lot of privacy.
We had a really special time. Thank you,

My family enjoyed our stay at Shady Grove. Instructions to get there from I-75 were excellent. If coming from the north, do not follow GPS, although it was a beautiful drive through the mountains. We found several things to do in the area, but nothing is close. Just getting to TN-63 is a beautiful drive but long from the house. We enjoyed the area, there were several places we went to eat that were wonderful. We had an extra "tween" with us, she and my 12-YO granddaughter enjoyed the dock and being able to have a room and entire floor to themselves. The setting is beautiful, the hot tub was a special extra that the kids enjoyed (NO splashing!!) so they just enjoyed and the adults also enjoyed at the end of the day. We had room to spread out, but also able to be together. A couple of minor problems that were taken care of immediately by the property manager. Thank you for making this available for a wonderful Spring Break visit!

We had three families and this being a five story home, each family was able to have plenty of room for young children. Young ones waking up at night was not a problem for others. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had good appliances including a good dishwasher,, and the washer/dryer was big and well used by our crowd. A/C was good. Didn't have Internet most of the week, unfortunately, even after rebooting. 58 steps down to a nice solid big dock with metal table and chairs and one boat slip and a place to tie up our rented pontoon. House is the last one on a small cove so nice secluded area for little kids to swim safely. Long idle out to the main lake was annoying, especially people who would yell if you threw more than a tiny wake, but it was ok.
4.8
Property was exactly as the listing described it. There was ample room for the entire group to spread out, there are 15 of us from age 7 to 65, 8 adults, 7 kids. We loved the secluded cove, we spent all day everyday floating off the dock. We rented a pontoon boat from Flat Hollow Marina, everyone there was happy to help. The only item that needs attention of the owners, is the metal ramp to the floating dock. It has shifted on the steps that support it so it tips to the left. The metal that makes up the deck has also shifted and is a trip hazard. We will book this same house for our vacation July of 2023.

Great place for 10 people of different ages and interests to get together. Lake is beautiful and easily approached from the house. Lots of steps for older people or those with impaired mobility. No good restaurants close by. Marina an easy walk.

Shady Grove house provided all that our big family needed-space! The kitchen had all the smaller appliances you would need as well as plenty of dishes, mixing bowels, silverware, etc. There were games, blankets, outside umbrellas, and lots of other things that made our stay cozy. This was a great place!

Property is exactly as advertised! Comes equipped with everything you would ever need. Beds were comfortable. Hot tub was a nice extra. Only down fall is we didn’t catch any fish and the steps. You will leave in better shape than you arrived.

We really enjoyed our stay for Christmas 2020. The house was clean and had plenty of movies when we got snowed in. Departure was slippery with 3 inches of snow and ice, which is not typical for Tennessee, but the peaceful views of a white Christmas building up through the living room windows were so relaxing.

Espectacular cabin in front of a river with 5 floors and a very quiet area. We had such a good time there that we are planning to go again, but this time in Summer!!!!

This is a nice place to stay if you are not looking for a lot to do and if you are okay it not being super clean or updated. It's on a beautiful lake and walking distance to the marina, where we were able to rent a pontoon boat. Since we were there in the fall and the water had been lowered there was a lot of litter and garbage down by the water and on the street side. It's a shame no one cared enough to clean up while the water was low. The property was okay, not very clean, lots of cobwebs and our dog kept finding gum in the rooms and plastic wrappers. Also,, the 2nd deck had a big hole in it, which was only covered with some boards. I'm not sure if the basement bedroom heat worked or not, we could never get it warmer than 65*.

The house and boat dock were everything we hoped for. The house was clean, well equipped, good air conditioning, and everything worked. We were particularly impressed with the kitchen amenities. It has everything that you have in your own kitchen and probably more. We got some great exercise navigating the five floors and to the boat dock. The hot tub was fantastic as was the water just off the dock. Great time overall. I definitely recommend this property!
