As described. Very nice place. Will stay again

We had 7 adults and 4 children ages 2-8 staying with us. This was the first lake vacation we have taken as a family and LOVED it! The house is exceptional! Slept us all very comfortably with room for more! The location is perfect! Much less steep walk to the dock than other homes in area and on VRBO. Mid-cove with large marina and dockside restaurant less than 5 minutes by boat! Boat and tube rentals at marina! We rented a pontoon and kept it, our kayak, 2 paddleboards, and multiple tubes/floaties at the dock with room to spare! Fran was wonderful to communicate with! 13 min to nearest grocery store, 20 min to golfing, 35 min to Knoxville, 1 hr 20 minutes to Pigeon Forge. Highly highly recommend this vacation!!!

5 Day gathering to reminisce after death of a family member. The 3 levels were perfectly suited for multiple families, conversations and activities. Plenty of comfortable sleeping areas with cozy quilts, and afghans. The outdoor Adirondack chairs were sturdy and comfortable at the fire pit, while we roasted hotdogs and marshmallows. While the boat dock view was gorgeous, we only visited it once due to the distance and steep stairs leading down to it! Whew! It rained on us twice; the screened porch was a wonderful retreat to listen to the rain and enjoy the breeze. There were plenty of kitchen dishes & utensils; we really did not need for a thing. All appliances worked well. We especially enjoyed the touch of vintage antique decor throughout. The polished cedar railings at the staircases of all three levels were very secure and so absolutely stunning, as well as the knotty pine tongue and groove ceilings. While the cove water was low, the lake views were still gorgeous from every level of the cabin. Sincerely enjoyed Fran and Rebecca’s sweet cabin!

This cabin was perfect and absolutely beautiful! Our family including 8 adults and 6 children (baby – 10 years) celebrated our family Christmas here. We even had snow! The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. I had brought a large roasting pan for our Christmas roast but didn't need it because there was one there. We made waffles one morning in the waffle maker and pancakes on the electric griddle another morning. Lots of pots and pans, dishes, glasses and silverware in the kitchen. There were even baby gates to keep the little one off the stairs and baby spoons and plates. The three levels of the house made it easy for everyone to have their own space and spread out. Even though it was cold (10 degrees on Christmas day) the house was toasty warm. Hot water wasn't a problem for showers. There's no bath tub but the showers are big and even with a baby that didn't present a problem. Lots of towels and extra blankets were provided and the beds were super comfortable. The ping pong and foosball table in the basement were both a big hit with the kids and adults! The basement area also gave the kids a place to play and be noisy without disturbing the rest of the house. Internet access was great and we were able to sign in to the streaming channels with no problems. Cell phone service was also good. It is a ways down to the dock but that seems to be the same with most the houses in this area. It really wasn't a problem for anyone in our group. The fire pit was awesome and we roasted marshmallows and made smores every night. There are no close neighbors so it's a very private area and it's very quiet. No boat traffic this time of year and very little road traffic. I think in the summer even the boat traffic would be slow and limited due to the location in the side creek where the dock is located. Fran was a terrific host! We received a welcome packet a few days before we arrived that gave all the info on the house and the surrounding area. We were even able to check in a couple hours early and even though we didn't need anything he made it clear that we could contact him at any time if needed. I also contacted Melissa about the trash pick up and she was super friendly and nice. All in all it was a wonderful home to spend a few days and we'd love to come back in the summer and enjoy the lake. Highly recommend this host and this cabin.

This property met all our needs! Beautiful clean well stocked home. Great access to water. Really nice dock. The owners were wonderful to work with. Hope to be back!

Great quiet location but close to anything needed. Owner was so responsive and attentive. Will rent again from the owners.

We loves the cottage and the area. The walk to the pier was a hike, but expected. The fishing was not good. We tried everything live or fake. If your looking for a place to be with family and relaxing, 100% recommend this property. It was beautiful.

You never know what you’ll get booking a VRBO so I was a little nervous about this one. It exceeded all our expectations and the pictures online don’t do it justice. The house was clean, well decorated, and had everything we needed. The screen porch was great and we loved the fire pit. It was really the dock and waterfront that was perfect. The water was crystal clear and wonderful for swimming, floating, and relaxing. It’s off the main channel so it was pretty quiet low traffic. We rented a boat at the marina only 10 min away. Fran and Rebecca were easy to communicate with and responsive to any needs we had. We will be staying here again! 100%

I originally was hesitant on booking this place due to the pics making it look old, dark and dated. But the pictures did this place no Justice! As soon as we all walked in we were all “wowed!” It’s a beautiful clean home!!! Everything in the kitchen was very well stocked, minus a 13x9 baking dish, the waffle maker and blender could definitely be replaced as they didn’t work very well, and the large skillet pain sucked at having all food extremely stick to it. Bathrooms had hairdryers, kids enjoyed cornhole, the walk down to the dock is good but back up is not for the weak. The dock was super nice and clean, disappointed we couldn’t park one of our boats under the covered dock due to a lift. Our biggest boat is 30’ long and we had to drive waaay down the road to where it turned to turn around. A boat trailer any bigger you won’t be able to back into the driveway. Fran was absolutely amazing, great information was given prior to our trip and was very responsive to texts. The welcome packet was super beneficial!! We all LOVED the screened in porch where we all spent our time together every night. Some more seating in the porch would be nice as we were a group of 15. There’s more great things I could share but I think I’ll finish my book now. lol Our only complaint was the lighting, it’s pretty dark through the home especially the bedrooms. I’d highly recommend replacing all the ceiling fans with fans that have lights. If we return to this lake this home would be a must to return to!

Our family sure enjoyed this lake house! It has a wonderful screen porch and a really nice fire pit outside with Adirondack chairs. Best though is the large covered boat dock. This is the place if your family likes fishing, swimming, kayaking, tubing, pontooning and relaxing.

This was our 3rd time at this property and it has become our favorite. It's location in a cove makes it nice for swimming and hanging out on the dock without all of the boat traffic, but it is close enough to the main channel that you can get out quickly when you are ready to go boating. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time. Fran, the host was great to deal with. We will for sure look at booking this property again. Norris lake is sooo beautiful! Thanks for sharing your property with us.

This property was absolutely amazing, and it exceeded our expectations in every way! The location was amazing the accommodations were wonderful and the owner was very easy to work with. Definitely a place we will look to stay at again and the future.

Enjoyed it and would recommend. Property owner is easy to contact with question and plenty or room and activities for kids.

Would rent it again

The property was below average and the owner will nickel and dime you for trash, etc. We found the property to be very outdated, the grill lite on fire when we tried to use it and the dryer could not dry 2 towels over 60 minutes. They do not offer internet, and the TVs, pool tables, furniture, utensils, coffee pot, etc. etc. are all outdated and worn. I have stayed at 2 other properties in Lake Norris for similar amounts per night and they were much better than this property and were definitely not trying to nickel and dime you. With the grill and dryer not operating I should have gotten a refund but owner charged me because we did not haul our trash offsite or back home with us. Really!!!

The rental is beautiful. Everything is provided in ample supply except food/drinks. Fran was quick to answer every time I reached out for information. Our group of 14 had a wonderful vacation. Plenty of room to get together for meals and enough room to get away for down time. The kids had a blast playing ping pong , foosball, and air hockey in the game room. We enjoyed fishing from the dock and floating on the tubes.

The cabin was so inviting and comfortable, almost like home away from home. We loved the open shelving in the kitchen and bathrooms. No searching in cabinets for the necessary items. the screen in porch was absolutely wonderful and such a life saver. We could be outside even during the rain showers! The dock was great for our pontoon boat, in the water and covered. The steps to the dock were a pain but the reward was great when you reached the bottom. Very tranquil and remote, bothered by nothing but the passing boats on the water and their gentle ripple of their waves. The internet/tv was sketchy but who needs that stuff on vacation. We enjoyed our family and our unplugged time. I would highly recommend to read the pamphlet hanging on the fridge, lots of good-to-know info!! We are hoping to have another stay at Nauti∋ce@Norris VERY SOON!

First and foremost Fran was an outstanding host. Very helpful with providing our group details about the property and the area before we booked and during our stay. The property was great. The pictures do not do justice to the home and it’s beauty. We had a group of 12 and we had plenty of space to enjoy dinner each night. Bathrooms on all three levels was a super advantage and very roomy areas. Very short walk to the dock which was also in great condition. The outside fire pit was a hit as well. Location was close to Bubble Brews and a marina where we rented a boat for our stay. Overall great experience and would stay there again.

This home is much bigger than the photos made it seem. We enjoyed our stay. We love to cook and it was a very well equipped kitchen!! The walk to the boat dock was fairly easy in comparison to other properties we have stayed. Only one suggestion, please get cable and give access to wi-fi as we could not watch much T V or stream. This place is a real winner!!

The property is amazing. The pictures don't do it any justice. It's a 3 level, 5 bedroom/3 bathroom cabin, very spacious and located on the river with a dock. The kitchen is fully stocked. There are plenty of towels and linens to accommodate a large party, as we were 14. The basement is great area for kids and teens. There's a computer, an air hockey table, a ping pong table and a foose ball table. One room accommodates 5 while the other can accommodate 3. The 3rd level loft is also another great area for kids to play. The closet is stocked with games and activities for kids. TV is a smart TV with streaming services installed. This cabin will make for the perfect mountain vacation getaway.
