Anchors Away was so perfect. Clean and well stocked with kitchen items, linens, outdoor water toys, and great "no steps" access to the lake.
Owner was helpful and very attentive to our needs.
Owner helped us find pontoon rental - which worked out great. Hreat find for our group.

This property was just as represented, had all the comforts of home. In short a great home away from home! Several extras that made our stay most enjoyable. The S x S was great for the older and younger ones in our group. Kitchen was so well stocked. Didn't want for anything! Would stay again!

Great place with plenty of room for multiple families. Easy check in and check out and good communication with owners. The dock and side-by-side are fantastic. The plumbing is a little loud and the bathrooms are small but we loved the house overall! Also, it’s nice to rent a place so close off the highway…made the drive down much quicker!

Great house to stay at on Lake Norris
5.0
This property is a favorite of everyone in the family! After the last year we have had it was nice to get away. The house and property far exceeded our expectations. Our family ranges in ages from 69 to 7 and the open floor concept allowed access to the decks, both floors and all areas easily even with the use of the walkers. The ATV was perfect for running supplies to the dock and transporting our crew. The pictures did not do the house justice as the interior was much larger than what we expected. We will definitely be back! Marie was very responsive to our needs and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this property.

Great property in a great location
Wow, this property was everything and more than we expected. It was definitely the cleanest property I have ever rented. The house was big and had enough space where we could hangout together or find some get away space. The deck and outdoor grounds are awesome for playing outside or just "chilling" in the hammocks. The dock is huge with tables and water toys you can use. The house sits on a nice road and is in a great part of the lake. It is not too crowded, but not too far from numerous marinas and lots of nice coves.
Marie and her family are as sweet and responsive as can be. I would highly recommend this property!

Another great stay at Anchor's Away!
Anchor's Away has quickly become our favorite rental at Norris Lake. The home is roomy, comfortable and clean. We love the separation of the beds with several downstairs and four in bedrooms upstairs. The addition of the ATV was much appreciated this stay. While the house is very important in a rental so is the dock. There was plenty of room for our group of 18 and our boat. We have made so many great memories at Anchor's Away. Marie is a great host and always available. Thanks Marie!

Anchors Away vacation
We had a wonderful time. Our sons said it was one of our best family vacations. Since my wife and I are both in our 80s, the on-site ATV was a God send. We did not have to walk to or from the dock once during the week. Th accommodations were everything we expected. A great place which we would highly recommend. Thanks Marie.

Perfect for all ages!
Our group included grandparents, adults and 6 kids under 11. This place fit our group perfectly with no steps to the water.. the pics don’t do it justice. Much more spacious in person! The paddle boards, kayaks and peddle boats & jumping off the dock kept our kids busy all day!! The hot tub, couch’s, tv and the kids beds in the basement were also a hit with their own bathroom. 15 mins to Walmart was very convenient! The ATV was also a nice addition. Overall perfect place- will be returning one day!

Wonderful house
Great experience, quick response to book from
Owner. We drove from Miami and the owner was super nice and let us check in early. The house is beautiful on a lake with kayaks and paddle boats, yes the fire pit and lake are at the bottom of a small hill but my 80yr old grandma was able to walk up and down. There is literally enough room for 18 people to sleep also enough towels!! We stayed to visit gatlingburg and pigeon forge even though it’s a 1.5hr drive the house was worth it! We went in three cars including a 15 passenger van and there was enough parking. Wi-Fi was good and beds were comfy!! We would definitely stay again when we come back to Tennessee!

Evaluation
Wonderful house and perfect location for our family.
Only off-putting were the security cameras throughout the property except bedrooms and bathrooms. We understand this is legal, but should have been told to renters before they arrived.

Everything was perfect
This house is just perfect to reunite with friends (as we did), but would be fantastic for kids. The basement space is very nice although we were too busy chatting and boating to take advantage of the activities downstairs. We all really enjoyed it and my friends who brought their boats LOVED the covered boat docks. We hope to visit again next year!

Great place for families!
We had a wonderful time over Labor Day weekend. This rental has everything you need. Bedrooms for the adults and a bunk room downstairs for the kids with their own living area and activities. Lots of room to spread out but still be together. The dock was great for housing our boat rental and for swimming. The slope down to the water was a little steeper than originally thought but definitely doable. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome Stay!
This lake house was awesome. It was perfect for what we needed for our guys weekend away. The morning views from the dock alone made this place amazing. Plenty of options for indoor and outdoor activities. And lots of beds for resting; we had 10 people go and everyone had their own bed! It’s about 20 min from town. Honestly, the only issue we had was that we couldn’t get any local food places to deliver. But the kitchen had all we needed to prepare our own food from the store.

Great set up for family with young adult children
We had a great week at this property. The house was set up perfectly for families with young adults. The kids stayed in the basement and could have time with their friends without being to loud for the grandparents upstairs. We have been coming to Lake Norris for five years now. This is the first house that stocked all soaps and paper products which was very nice! Kitchen well equipped with everything you would need.
Owners are close by in case you need anything. It was very nice to have them close because Norris Dam lowered the water level during our stay and the owners were there to make sure the dock was exactly where it needed to be. Property is well maintained. We will definitely consider staying there again.

Great Stay
We had a great stay with several adults at this amazing property of Marie's. It has all the amenities for a group trip to the lake, and not having steps to the lake is an absolute plus! The set up is perfect for several families or just larger groups. There is plenty of room on the dock, and she's got all the toys to enjoy the lake. Thanks Marie!

Love Norris
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Anchors Away! Beautiful home with plenty of room for 13 of us to spread out. From the covered patio with hot tub to upper deck to awesome dock and nice walk to the lake our stay was fantastic. We did dodge rain showers but they seemed to find us on the lake but it was comical!! Loved it all. Bonus that we got to meet our host and hostess!!! Thank you for the memories. We will be back!

Perfect girls trip
Anchors Away was one of the best properties I have ever stayed at with my eight friends. The house was spotlessly clean, beautiful furnishings, comfortable beds and a fully stocked kitchen. Marie met us at check-in and explained everything about the house. We loved the outdoor space, both on the lower and upper decks. Views of the lake were wonderful. The dock was perfect for swimming, renting our pontoon boats, and kayaking and paddleboating which were provided at the house. My group is already talking about a return visit. I hiring recommend this home. Have fun!

This property was perfect for all our family! The adults took the upstairs bedrooms while all the kids had dorm style beds in the lower level. The property is rare in that you can walk down to the lake on a grass slope, not a lots of stairs. The dock was equipped with kayaks and paddle boats. The view is beautiful! I highly recommend this place to anyone who is going with a large family.

The house and property exceeded our expectations. House was clean and well furnished. Very Comfortable. Had plenty of parking and room for boat trailer. A nice gravel path to the lake and a very nice boat boat. Marie was a super host.

Great place for family! Comfortable with a great view!
I really enjoyed staying at this location. We have stayed at multiple locations around Norris. This is one of my favorites. This property was very comfortable and had lots of room for multiple guest. The view of the lake is amazing and we enjoyed the short walk with no steps to the boat ramp! Having young kids and coolers in tow, it makes things easier. The weather did not cooperate, so we enjoyed having the hot tub as back up! Property owners are great to work with. We will definitely stay again!

Cozy, clean and comfortable lakeside home away! Beautiful view of the lake, nice dock with pedal boats to explore and outdoor hot tub for sundown enjoyment. Best to bring your own food this time of year as lakeside restaurants are closed.

Great home for family getaway
Great house and dock, with a beautiful view and easy walk to the lake. The family had everything it needed for a amazing week. The boat launch was right down the street and homeowners were great to work with, too. We can’t wait to come back.

East Tennessee Paradise: Anchor's Away!
We slept 17 in this property (nine adults and eight kids). We took two boats and three jet skis. We all loved Anchors Away! We found that that house was furnished to meet our needs. We prepared many meals at the house for our group. We didn't leave the house except to go play on the water! We loved that there were no steps to the lake. Even though there was a little hill, it was an easy walk for most. The covered docks are very nice! They protected our boats even on the busy days. Our kids loved playing in the water. Very happy with the property and owners. Thank you! Hope to stay again soon!

Great place for group/family gatherings
Awesome place for larger group. We had 11 and plenty of room and beds.
The front steps down to front door could be a hazard. They tend to blend together walking down and easy to misjudge if on bottom step or not. Several in our group commented on them, not just me. Suggestion.... alternate between grey and white

Anchors Away was a big hit for our family reunion!
We had 15 people ranging in age from 3-64 years old. Lots of room for everyone. Downstairs was perfect for the single guys and kids. The huge dock was where we spent most of our time. Well stocked kitchen and baths. We all agreed this was our favorite rental on Norris Lake. Would love to come back again!

Absolutely Amazing!!
We really enjoyed our stay! The pictures do not do this place justice, it was perfect! The home was very clean and had everything you could need. The dock was awesome since we had 2 boats. It kept them safe and covered when we did get some rain. We will definitely be staying again!

Great for large groups
We stayed at this lake house over Thanksgiving weekend with 14 people. There was a ton of space, full range of kitchen supplies, including paper products, and beautiful view. We were pleasantly surprised by the living spaces for adults and children. TVs in every room. Games, pool table and foosball we're a hit. Owner was quick to respond. Only negative, the microwave was a bit old and slow to heat food, popcorn, etc. I highly recommend this rental.
