This house was perfect for our 4 day gathering. The main floor had a wonderful master suite that was perfect for our elderly parents, keeping them in the middle of the main activities happening in the large, open gathering area with comfy sofas and three large dining tables for eating and game playing. The kitchen had everything we needed for all the meals we cooked while there. Crock pots, casseroles, blenders, all sizes of pots and pans and bake sheets. Two fridges held all our food, but we really loved having the two dishwashers, with plenty of plates, glasses and silverware for our crew to use. The house was clean, the beds were comfy, with extra blankets and pillows everywhere. Water pressure was great, and the tankless heater provided hot water for everyone’s showers. Three floors offered private sleeping and hiding spots with comfy couches for different age groups to gather. Good directions made this place easy to find and we had parking for all 4 vehicles close to the house. LaFollette has good grocery stores and food options, as well as good thrift store shopping. The blue tooth speakers worked well with our devices and music apps for holiday tunes and kitchen dance parties. One tiny issue with one TV was fixed promptly by our responsive host. Everybody was very happy with our stay, we would be happy to stay here again. I can only imagine the extra fun a summer stay would offer with the water right out back.

Southern Comfort II is a great place for family gatherings. Plenty of space, super clean, and great support from property manager.

The stay was amazing and everything we wanted!

This was our first time at Norris Lake, but it will not be our last—we’re hooked! This house had plenty of space for our group of 18 to be together when we wanted to or spread out when we wanted to… The kitchen had plenty of room for everyone to have a chair (not always the case with large house groups), and the 2 fridges/dishwashers were very helpful. We loved having a dedicated ice maker too! Bedrooms were comfy and the hot tub got rave reviews. The wakeless cove and dock were perfect for all ages in our group to slide, swim, float, or kayak. Be prepared for a VERY steep driveway and lots of stairs between the house and the lake, but no problem as long as you know that going into it. Can’t wait to come back!

Great visit with our large family! The home had everything we needed and then some.

Great large lake home! We rented a boat and Jet ski for our stay. Everyone enjoyed the water, dock, decks, kayaks and rafts. This was our family reunion which ranged from 72 to 12 years of age. Us older folks would get on the boat at one of the marinas so we didn’t have to do the steps down. Also….don’t let the driveway scare you…..go slow down and low gear up…..we never had an issue. Would certainly return!

We booked this house to accommodate our family reunion. We had 25 individuals ranging from ages 12-76. It slept 25 comfortably. We did have 3 adults around 75 years old that had difficulty doing the stairs, but we knew there were lots of stairs going in. However, a plus is that the decks are on each level and you can see the dock from those decks. They were at least able to join and watch from afar. The house had ample supplies for cooking and eating and we utilized their plates in order to cut down on paper. The location was awesome, in a more private cove away from boat traffic which meant we floated freely on the lake without having to worry about boats. We utilized their kayaks and floats that were there. We loved the gaming tables and the hot tub! A couple of concerns. Some of the beds were squeaky, but not a major deal breaker. When we used the fire pit we did notice a sewer smell, but the pit is over the septic tanks I believe, not sure if that can be remedied, just something we noticed. Also the dock gets very hot! It would be nice to have a runner of some sort to step on when you are coming up from the water and on the top side or I guess you should wear water shoes, just be prepared for that. Not sure on TN trash, but would have loved to been able to recycle and maybe a place for broke down boxes rather than having to bag it. Overall we loved the place, the location and had a great time. I would highly recommend and we would book this place again!

We had 13 Adults and 5 children and this house gave us plenty of room to spread out! It truly was a dream vacation!! My family loved every minute of it. The owners are very responsive too!! The kitchen has an ice maker, 2 ovens and 2 dish washers which made it easy to prepare meals and clean up. We made some awesome memories that we will never forget! Thank you John & Ali for sharing your home!!!!

We loved our stay here, alot of nice features and the lake was beautiful!

We have a large blended family and celebrate Christmas early December! We walked in to the surprise of a Christmas tree that was so thoughtful and we really appreciated it!!! The kitchen was stocked better than any we have ever been in! The property manager was awesome and when the fireplace would not turn on she brought in someone to fix it immediately. It was a fabulous weekend in a perfect home!

Our family rents a cabin every year to celebrate Christmas together. This cabin offered plenty of space. The warm gas logs were a plus! We also enjoyed the hot tub which was very clean! We were pleasantly surprised at how well stocked the kitchen was! The knives were even sharp! Thank you also for the Christmas tree and decorations!

This place was all that! We've taken an annual family fall trip for close to 40 years straight. This is our 2nd time to Norris Lake (previously stayed in the Pigeon Forge area). Norris Lake location is closer, quieter and has more housing options. Our group includes our 89yo mom, 7 children and spouses. The accommodations here were perfect for our group. The guys said the hot tub was THE BEST yet. Also, loved having two large ice makers! Kitchen was perfect for our large group. Better than our Norris Lake cabin last year because there was no gravel road and large grocery store much closer!

john was very attentive. the house was beautiful and very accommodating for our large group. even though the lake level was low, October being off season, we were still able to enjoy the water for kayaking and fishing. I definitely recommend this place.

Excellent cabin with many extra amenities. We had16 older adults, plenty of space and bedrooms for all. Enjoyed private dock on lake. The owners Ali and John were helpful with any concerns that we had.

Great space for family reunion & large enough for everyone to have their own space. Enjoyed time on the boat, using the provided kayak, & jumping off the sun deck & slide into beautiful Norris Lake! Large well-stocked kitchen & great to have 2 ovens, 2 dishwashers, 3 refrigerators & 2 ice machines! I would kindly like to suggest that the owners replace all bath towels (ones provided had stains, frayed, & holes), bed sheets that fit mattresses properly, & shower curtains (moldy on bottom). Majority of mattresses were extremely noisy & every time you moved you could hear the springs squeaking. Regarding the non-suite king bedroom without a closet on the main floor, add some wall/door hooks and/or shelves as there was no where to hang anything at all. I would suggest adding some hand rails in the main king suite bathroom so then at least one bathroom in the house would be handicapped accessible. Our 85 year old mom used this main floor bedroom but had a difficult time in the bathroom without any type of hand rails for support. Lastly, the AC needs to be checked. The main floor was always so extremely hot even if we tried to adjust the temperature. Meanwhile the middle & especially the lower floor were freezing cold. Aside from those suggestions we had a great family reunion. The home owners were also available via email or text which was appreciated.

We do an annual summer trip with our friends and this property is perfect for large groups with plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and large entertaining areas for any group.

Our family consisted of: 2 grandparents = 80+ (only stayed a few days) 2 people 55 + 5 people 30 + 2 - 11 year old's 2 - 5-year old's 3 - 2-year old's The dock and slide are amazing, and the lake is beautiful! Unfortunately, you have a minimum of 40+ steps to get to the dock. The pictures in the listing do not show this. The first two steps are not the standard step height, and many of us almost fell. They added an extra riser to the first step, which is still a long drop. Kids certainly cannot go up on down on their own. The deck was pulling away from the house. Most railings didn't have a middle rail, and we feared they would fall through. There are no handrails to get into the house, which poses a problem for older people. The property was not clean. The mattress pad in the master bedroom had a fresh pee stain. I did contact the owner, and they apologized their regular cleaner fell; I assume they used a new cleaner. They sent a text on Wednesday to say they had a new mattress pad, but I declined; I had already put a towel under the sheet, and we only had a few days left on our rental. The jets in the hot tub did not work and weren't clean. The vents in the house were all extremely dirty. One dryer didn't completely dry the clothes. Large crack on bottom level floor. Overall for the amount of money we spent we were highly disappointed.

House was great for a large family. Wish we could have stayed longer. John the owner was fast and quick to respond to any issues that we had. Definitely will be back.

Owner and property manager were both very responsive. A guest forgot a bag of valuables and the issue was handled quickly with the bag being overnighted home to her. This was our first lake vacation and the dock was large enough to handle all the watercraft we brought. Our group enjoyed the jumping bridge, the rope swings, and the marinas. Everything is conveniently located. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the grill was large enough to cook for our entire group, it included a flattop. Thank you for sharing your home.

The house was great and the host was so responsive! The cove was fun and we all had so much fun!

Our group of 15 friends and family couldn’t stop gushing about the house and the location! We are booking again for next year. We also had a great experience with Oasis and the weekly boat rental. We highly recommend using Heidi and the concierge service for grocery “pick up and put away”. Five Star!

Everything about it was easy and wonderful. The owners are quick to respond to questions and other matters. The house is beautiful inside and out and in a great location. Plenty of room for our family to gather and had lots of fun on the outside deck, game room and around the outdoor fire pit. In addition we took pontoon boats out and fished and simply enjoyed the lake.

Southern Comfort II was a great cabin for our work getaway. The cabin was exactly as described, very clean, very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook our meals. There were great amenities. I would definitely recommend!

The host and property were amazing and we would highly recommend them both to potential travelers. The communication response time was quick and the house was in great shape. We all really enjoyed the space we had to gather with 17!

Thanks to John & Ali for renting us the Cabin, it's a wonderful house to stay with Family & Friends. Kids enjoyed the stay and used most of the amenities in the House... Hot Tub, Pool table, TV's, Firepit, Grill, etc., House is so huge with 9 bedrooms & bathroom, 3 Dishwasher, 3 Refrigerator, 2 Washer/Dryer, etc... in less than 20 mins drive there is all the shopping center Walmart, Food line, Gas stations, etc... John responds to messages and emails pretty quickly and he also allowed us to do late check-out (till 1 PM)) will stay rent again from John if I get a chance again.

Loved our trip. The only complaints I have is, some bedrooms had no lights overhead and the bathtubs need bars or no slip pads in them. My Aunt slipped and fell in her bathtub and hurt her side. Also our hot tub apparently didn't work and they had to empty the water and refill it which caused the water to not be warm enough for us to get in it. Definitely appreciate letting us check in a couple hours early though that helped us so much. Will recommend. Thank you.

WE had a great time on vacation at Norris Lake at Southern Comfort II! Beautiful house and love the location. We were there for my husbands 50th birthday and 2 other birthdays. Other than a steep driveway we had an awesome experience! We will be booking again for next year!

House was beautiful. It’s tucked away in a little cove that was great to hang out in and jump off the dock. It’s right next to the sugar hollow marina and was easy to rent a boat and tube from oasis water sports. My group loved the house and would definitely recommend staying there.

This house is beautiful and Perfect for my family and friends. We go to Lake Norris every year and we will definitely be staying here again.

What an amazing property! Our group had 16 people ranging from 8 to 70. There was still plenty of room. This property has everything you need. The kitchen is stocked with anything you need. The dock and location of this property also is perfect! Definitely hope to visit again!

We totally enjoyed this house and its facilities! With 20 family members, there were plenty of beds, bathrooms, refrigerators, and stoves for our needs. The kids enjoyed the water, slide, swimming, kayaks, and loved the hot tub and its warmth. The Oasis Marina is very responsive to requests for boats, jet skiis, etc. and I highly recommend them. We had a lot of problem with the person/company recommended by the home owners and received a boat that only worked for one day and was not fixed when they said it would be. As far as the house, there were 2 things that concerned us: the many stairs to the dock without spindles (had 2 2-year-olds) and the worry of kids going up and down the steps and the slant of the decks due to the settling of the foundation. Otherwise, the house and vacation was wonderful!

We have rented Southern Comfort in the past and as always, it was a great vacation. There were 20 adults from the younger crowd to the elders. The younger crowd took over the bottom floor and the older generation had the second and main level. Plenty of seating for dining, either inside or out on the deck. The cove is quiet; however, it takes about eight minutes to get out to open water. Highly recommend for a great family/friend get together.
