We had 4 families (16 people) stay here for a whole week. We never felt on top of each other. The house is divided up nicely to give everyone their space. The dock is awesome with not a ton of boat traffic. We hope to come back next year!!

We had a family reunion over Thanksgiving at this property and it was perfect for our needs. We had 7 adults and 6 children ranging from 3 to 12, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We only left for a few grocery runs. The kids entertained themselves in the large living room and playroom downstairs and walked along the rocks by the lake (with some supervision). It took very little to inspire them in such a beautiful place, as none of us are from this area. I enjoyed the lake views in the morning with a cup of coffee on the porch, and doing yoga in a sunny spot in front of the gazebo. The kitchen fully met our needs and was well stocked. Two of the three ovens worked, which was all we needed, but there is a third that was not functioning at the time. The dining table fit all of us comfortably, even though there was another table. Several of us went fishing on the dock a few days. We had an issue with the direct tv not working in all the rooms at first, but Mary was very prompt in responding and it was ultimately resolved. We highly recommend this house!

This house is exceptional and well maintained. Loads of room inside and out for young children to roam. Plenty of parking and carport for unloading in the rain. There is a full media room with pool table and bar! The family loved their week here. Only suggestion we would offer is related to the boat dock. It is nearing the end of it's useful life. It is still adequate; but, if you're renting or bringing a boat, you'll be glad if you bring extra fenders and lines. We had a 21ft ski boat & 23 foot pontoon docked. We will rent again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The property was beautiful!

This property is absolutely gorgeous! The large acreage, gentle slope to the lake, shady lawn, and views can't be beat. We loved the sidewalks to the dock for both the young and old in our group. The dock and gazebo both need some work, with the hole in the gazebo deck being a large safety hazard. The large house was very accommodating for our group. The kitchen was big enough for several people to work at once and the kitchen table could seat all of us. The downside was neither of the double ovens worked and the oven in the island didn't seem to be working properly. The bedrooms were all good size and the huge living room was a big plus. The deck upstairs should have some comfortable outdoor furniture instead of only the metal folding chairs that were provided. The downstairs patio was large and a great place to hang out, although some more comfortable seating could have made it even better. I gave this listing five stars mainly because of the property itself. I would give the house 4 stars. The non-working appliances and outdated formal decor in the living room contributed to this. We also found trash under one of the beds and the kitchen cabinets were old and scruffy looking. Overlooking these mainly minor negatives is easy because of the beautiful property and super lake access. Our family had a wonderful time at Serene Estates.

We had a very enjoyable time. The house accommodated our family perfectly. It was comfortable and well equipped. The property is absolutely gorgeous. We would definitely consider renting the house for our next trip to Lake Norris.

Upon arrival we met Mary, property manager. She was very pleasant. The location of the home was beautiful and secluded which was nice for all the privacy. The house was big enough for our gang of 13 plus two children. A few issues we had with the house, the kitchen refrigerator did not make ice so we had to transport ice from the ice machine downstairs up to the freezer upstairs. The basket in the freezer was broke so it became a pain every time you pulled the freezer drawer open. Never figured out how to lock up the house, good thing we never left. Regulating the temperature in the house was a big problem. It was really hot out and the upstairs during the heat of the day never got below 81 degrees but the downstairs was 68/69. Good thing we all took fans. Gazebo needs to have several boards replaced. Safety hazard especially with the kids. Coffeemaker stopped working the day of the wedding. That was not good with our coffee drinking family. I contacted Mary and she promptly brought us a new one. Thank you Mary! Overall our stay was a good one. Our daughter’s wedding at the house was gorgeous!

This property was absolutely stunning. Large property with fire pit and lots of fishing spots. The dock however is not as pictured. It looks like it’s about to fall apart me and my family did not feel safe standing under it as one of the corners of the roof wasn’t even welded to the base anymore. They falsely advertised that you could go on top and lounge up there. Also be careful parking any boat to the dock the rubber bumper fell off and it’s very easy to scratch your boat against. Our boat was damaged due to this. The water pressure in the showers is terrible as well and if more than one person is taking a shower at a time or just using a sink the water in the shower will turn off.

Everything was awesome. Great place to stay on the lake! Everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you for a great weekend!

This home is perfect for families and Mary is wonderful to work with! We had seven kids, all under the age of 6, and were very comfortable in the home. The lot is ideal in that it is flat and well kept.

Could not have been a better stay, we will be back.

Amazing house! Great for elderly or thise who have trouble with steps, all handi-capped accessible. Large rooms with plenty if beds and amazing beautiful lot. Definitely coming g back!
