Barefoot Landing is a beautiful property. The deck is covered and a great gathering place for small and large families. Easy access to the lake and a large dock and hang out area. The owners are easy to work with and always available for questions and if anything needs fixed on the property.

Everything was amazing about this place! We thoroughly enjoyed our week with 30+ people(a wide range of adults and kids). Being right on the lake was awesome. The kitchen had tons of stuff, anything we needed. Very clean. The only drawbacks were the lack of cell reception and very limited internet. Also, it wasn’t clear from the listing that one of the sleeping areas was actually not private - it was an open area and not a private bedroom, outside of a separate bedroom near the second kitchen. Otherwise, very happy with the stay!

This an awesome place to host family gatherings. There is plenty of room to accommodate groups of families. Most of the bedrooms had their own bathroom. The dock was really nice and the walkway to the dock is manageable. The view of the lake is stunning. The kitchen was incredible and fully stocked. The Wi-Fi in the house was adequate. We are really glad we decided to stay here and will hopefully be returning.

Great place to host a group of people! More than enough accommodations for 9 adults. Has everything you need plus more, you will not be disappointed! Wonderful house with all the amenities. Owner had good communication with any questions I had! Highly recommend!

For the last seven years, A large group of us travel to different locations in the Midwest to relax and play Board games. This was our best experience so far. Such a great property! Highly recommended. We hope to return again next year!

This was the second time we have stayed at this location and have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves both times! There is plenty of room even with 22 people staying. We had a great time and we will definitely come back. Owners are always very responsive.

This year my husband's side of the family (16 adults, 1 kid, and 5 new grand-babies) gathered at Barefoot Landing to celebrate Christmas together. This house was the perfect location for such a large crowd. There was plenty of space to hang out as a group and spacious and cozy rooms for people who needed breaks from all the energy. The kitchen was well-equipped and spacious enough for all of our meals, and the house was clean and homey, especially during such cold weather. I can only imagine how beautiful this location is in the summer or fall. Brian and Andrea were very communicative before and during our stay. We would definitely come back for future gatherings.

We came from CA, IN and SC to a wonderful view, kitchen and accommodations. Found everything we needed for meal prep. All was ready and in working condition. Location to stores and local park was a bonus.

The house is beautiful, clean and has everything you possibly need. We had a great time and we will definitely come back.

My husband, his six siblings, and all of the outlaws like to take an adult only weekend trip together to relax and hang out. This house was the perfect set up! Plenty of bedrooms, a VERY equipped kitchen for this family of foodies, lots of comfy living areas, fireplaces, games. We couldn’t ask for more. We will be back next year.

The house was perfect for 8 guys on an ATV adventure. Everyone had beds, plenty of space, and the kitchen, porches and great room fit everyone comfortably

Our group of 10 adults has gathered here for 5 years. We all agree it's the perfect spot for a group visit. The house is in great shape, furnishings are high-end, beds are super comfy. The gourmet kitchen is well-stocked. It has 2 cooktops, 2 ovens, plus a griddle. The over-sized island makes it easy for multiple cooks to work together. The main dining room table seats 12 which allows our entire group to sit together which is a big plus for us. The gas grill is inside the screened-in porch, making grilling possible in all weather. We love the extensions to 2 of the decks that added covered seating and cozy fireplaces. The large, covered boat dock is a favorite spot to hangout and watch the blue herons and eagles. Due to the remote location of the house, most (but not all) in our group had GPS systems that could locate the address. As a backup, be sure to print out the owner's step-by-step directions. We always enjoy our visit. The owners are prompt to respond and easy to deal with.

We were here celebrating our son’s wedding and this lake house was an ideal place for the family to gather. So much room, great amenities and the kitchen has anything you could possibly need to cook with. I only wish we could have stayed longer. The upper deck of the dock was a family favorite to spend time together. Weather was perfect for the fall and we had a lovely time. Also, the owners are very responsive to any questions. Thanks for opening your home up to us.

What can I say, the weekend was perfect. Golf, lake, bbq, and good friends.

We go to Norris Lake every year and this place was a wonderful place to stay. Fully equipped for big groups, great outdoor gathering spaces, plenty of room inside, great boat dock, and great location on the lake. Owners are always very responsive. Very clean and comfortable. We will be back to this house.

This house was perfect for our 4 families. Beautifully decorated and ample room for everyone. Bedrooms were spacious and the beds were very comfortable. The 2 bedroom apartment over the garage worked great for one of the families with smaller children. This house was well equipped with high chairs and pac and plays for those needing them. The kitchen had almost anything you could ask for. The huge refrigerator was a bonus for our large group. Additional freezer space for the frozen foods. The grill is enclosed in a screened in porch right off of the kitchen. This was great on one of our evenings when it rained. Additional seating there meant we could continue conversations while we grilled. 2 ice makers meant never running short of ice and 2 dishwashers made clean up much easier. A large selection of reading material and games in addition to the video gaming area down stairs. 2 washers and driers were great for multiple families with children. Grandkids loved fishing off of the dock and swimming This was supposed to be a No Wake Zone but there were a LOT of boaters that didn’t honor this. Some skied and tubed as close as 20-30 feet from dock. If you take your boat, as we did, be prepared to tie it down good as the waves got really rough from these other boats. The walk way/steps to the dock is quite steep but steps are well lit. When we were there Labor Day Weekend they were already letting the lake level down. The owners did contact the dock crews that came and let the dock out some, making it much easier to climb onto the ramp. Be aware though that as the level goes down it leaves a very slick mud that needs to be cleaned off to avoid falling. 2 of our group slipped and fell before we could get it washed off. The hot tub on the lower level was a wonderful feature to relax in. Lots of lower level seating to continue socializing while in the tub. Our favorite place though was the upper deck with gas fireplace. We used it every evening and again in the cool mornings with coffee and family fellowship. Memories made that will last a lifetime.

We had an amazing stay at Bug Creek. The house is absolutely beautiful. It was perfect for our group of friends, there was something for everyone! The dock was second to none. The owners were very responsive and were great to talk to! Would definitely go back if available

This is an incredible property! The house is beautiful, full of amenities. We had a wonderful and very relaxing week. I would definitely recommend this fantastic vacation retreat!!

We took our kids to Barefoot years ago when they were young. It was fun taking them back with grandchildren this time! We had a wonderful week. There have been upgrades to the home since our last visit - especially to the exterior. The dock is superb. Thank you for sharing your home.

As the previous reviews have said Barefoot Landing is AMAZING, SPACIOUS, BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT from the house to the dock. We had a fabulous family reunion. There were 24 of us and not once did anyone feel crowded. There are so many comfortable places to sit and chat or fall asleep reading on the deck. We have rented many houses on Norris Lake. The view from the deck to the fantastic double deck dock area is the best around. To be able to sit on the deck and see the lake is awesome. Barefoot Landing has everything you need for a large crowd. The kitchen is well stocked and the seating areas accomodate a large group. From our 7 year old kids to the 80 years old grandparents we say THANK YOU Andrea & Brian for sharing your beautiful home. We will forever hold onto the wonderful memories we made at our family reunion. We will be back next year!

We love this house! It is perfect for our large family and were just as pleased our second time as first. The kitchen is beyond properly stocked for whatever you would like to serve. The commercial ice maker is so nice and saves time and money from buying ice. We spend hours on the expansive deck and large dock!! Thank you Brian and Andrea, great owners to work with!

Just OUTSTANDING…! This was our 4th year at Norris and Barefoot Landing was by FAR the very best property we have stayed at. No need to search out next year’s property, we all voted to return to Barefoot Landing thanks to Brian & Andrea Smith's impeccable hospitality. No need to ask what is available at the property, safely assume the house, dock, location, and parking will be unmatched.

We had such a great time at Barefoot Landing!! We make a point to schedule a "boating" vacation every year and we have done that for the last 20 years. This is absolutely the BEST place we have ever rented. Everything about it "exceeded" our expectations. We promise you will NOT be disappointed. Great family memories in the making!!

We have been coming to Norris for 7 years and the past 2 years at this house and location are by far our favorite!!

This is an amazing house for a lake trip! The location in a cove that’s big enough to boat but quiet enough to swim was ideal. The outdoor spaces were amazing with beautiful views, tons of seating and nice finishes. The house was ideal for a big group - huge fridge, commercial ice maker, lots of space. Our complaints were minimal - only that the WiFi is not great (especially for people needing to work during their stay) and the beds in the bunk room are really only suitable for small children. The owners were great and easily reachable for any questions we had. I would highly recommend this house and we’re already talking about retuning next year.

Barefoot Landing was the perfect spot for me and a group of friends to have a little time away from our "day-to-days". Huge kitchen with all the appliances/amenities you'll ever want. Large decks to look over the lake. If you're looking for a lavish, serene place to stay with family or friends, you've found the right place!

The house, the lake was amazing. I can’t say enough on how nice the house is. The owners were great! They aloud us to have the perfect getaway with there home. We spent a whole day on the dock overlooking the lake, playing games and enjoying the weather. If you get a chance don’t pass this one up.
