Property was great. Covered Boat dock and swim area was perfect for our two boats. The floating mat was great for the grandkids and the home had many amenities. The grill was ok. Ice maker was awesome. Kitchen and dining area was great for our family. We would rent this home again in the future. Location on the lake was great.

Chris's house on Norris has an awesome view of the lake from just about every room. The house was clean and well stocked with everything our group of 10 needed. Communication with Chris was top notch as we had several questions since we had never stayed on this end of Norris before. The dock and fire pit setup are great as well. If you are bringing your own boat, be sure to bring plenty of bumpers as the dock does get a decent amount of boat traffic waves during the busy times of the lake.

Everything was perfect!

We had a great time and the house was very well-appointed. We would definitely stay again!

We loved the house and the dock. Kids loved jumping off the dock & every one enjoyed the kayaks. Owners were fabulous and responded very quickly to questions. Simply beautiful

The house and dock were very clean and the hosts were fantastic to rent from. Highly recommend!

Great experience. We weren't in the house a lot, but when we were we were cozy. Definitely will recommend to others!

Chris and Janine were excellent hosts who communicated well, in a timely manner, and accommodated our various needs.

Beautiful location, great property, wonderful views, very good amenities. One problem- never had to make our beds when we first arrived- ever! Also, the sheets on our queen bed were too small and kept coming off. Difficult for grandma and grandpa to get back on each morning!

We loved the property and the view. We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddling on the lake. The house was very comfortable and had a well stocked kitchen. We are an older group of women in our sixties and seventies, so we had a little trouble with access to the house down the concrete steps and access to the dock where the lowest set of steps does not have rails. Overall a great time.

The house and location were fantastic. And the water was phenomenal — very clean and a great temperature. We hope to come back.

To provide context, our extended family has met every two years - except for 2020 during the height of Covid - since 1998. The catalyst was the passing of our parents within three months of each other. Suddenly, the "magnets" that regularly brought us together were gone. We are fortunate to be a very close family, a legacy of our parents and - as I've learned over the years - not to be taken for granted or lightly. The total - consisting of me and my twin sisters, our spouses, children and grandchildren - is 36 when all attend, which has been most of the time; albeit there's an an occasional challlenge as the various "grandmonsters" grow and mature, becoming busier than when they were younger. To summerize, each of the three families rents a house and any other items needed or required for that location. For example, pontoon boats are always a must for lake locations such as Norris Lake this year. We've also visited various Atlantic Ocean beach communities over the years. As for this year, our 11th gathering . . . Norris Lake and Bosley's Bungalow - as my son said upon our departure, "one of our best ever, dad." (And, he doesn't regularly respond that way.) In short, eveything was more than "acceptable", often way more; albeit the steep round-trip climbing from house to boat dock for a few of us now in or approaching our octogenarian years was an occassional challenge, but certainly good for us when done properly and with the aid of the younger folk if needed. The house was clean, neat, well-maintained and certainly served our needs well. Hours spent on the dock and swimming in the lake were the height of enjoyment and relaxation. And the boating - awesome, both for the kids (and an occasional adult) on the pancake and simply enjoying investigating the lake. Indeed, the lake is spectacular and the views from the decks of the house up the hill beautiful. Perhaps best of all, it was obvious we all put life;s demands on hold for a week. Our family has returned to a destination or two for a second vacation experience. This place and Bosley's Bungalow may well be added to the list.

House was as described and is stocked with everything you need. Huge bonus is the industrial sized ice machine on the lower deck - this is so necessary for coolers and a great asset to this house! The only downfall we experienced (and its NOT the owners fault) during our week long stay was ZERO cell phone service and minimal wifi - we are business owners and need to run our business from afar even while on vacation - we had huge difficulties doing this but it is just a downfall of this area of the lake.

Bosley's Bungalow was absolutely perfect for our yearly family reunion vacation! There were 6 of us adults and the home had more than everything we needed for a wonderful stay! We enjoyed using the kayaks and fishing from the dock! We also rented a pontoon for a day and fished and relaxed on beautiful Lake Norris. The cove is nice and quiet and not a lot of noise. We saw a bear, a deer and a bunny! We enjoyed using the patios a lot! We reminisced about old times, drank coffee and had a lot of laughs! We met Chris & Fred, the friendly dog and had a nice talk. We absolutely loved staying here and recommend booking it early!

Easy to find. Very secluded. Very private and peaceful. Great fire pit with ample seating. Lots of seating inside for entertaining. Full bath on every floor. The homeowners are very accommodating and awesome!

Although the weather really made our trip slightly rough , the cabin helped our stay to be more manageable. We did utilize the kayaks even though it was cold . The house was perfect and had nice separation for all . The owner was fabulous with making sure all our needs were met. We hope to return when the weather will allow us some lake time .

good

Rented for family over turkey weekend. Had a great time.

This is the absolute perfect place to get away and relax. The property, situated on Lake Norris, is the perfect mix of fun and relaxing. Just minutes from a general store with friendly staff, yet feels like you’re out and away from the city. This home is spacious and everything is where you’d expect it. The host communicated quickly and positively. All the little details just made this home particularly easy to just slip in and feel at home. Having the dock and lake access was so amazing! 100% recommend for a wonderful get away!!

We rented this cabin to accommodate 5 adults for a weekend get together. It was just as spacious and comfortable as I had hoped--plenty of space for all of us to hang out together as well as have our own space. The kitchen was large and well-equipped--room for several people to be in there together. The 2 decks had beautiful views of the lake. We enjoyed spending a fall afternoon with a fire in the fire pit overlooking the lake. We had a couple issues come up and were happy with the responsiveness of the owner and their resolution of the issues.

Nice place as advertised. We'll stocked kitchen. Comfortable beds. Great dock, deck and firepit area. Clean. A larger kitchen table would have been nice. Ran out of propane in middle of large cookout, but Chris saved us with fresh tank stored nearby - crisis averted!

beautifull location , broken door knob , broken towel rack , dock lights didnt work .a little TLC would go a long way

Beautiful home, great accommodations, very nice boat dock, accessible owners.

Great time and beautiful house. Spent days on the water and afternoons by the dock. Nice sunsets and campfires. Thanks!!!!!

This home was perfect for our group of four adults and five teenagers. We loved staying right on the lake and the private, covered boat dock was so convenient.

We loved our week long stay at Bosley’s! The house is very well furnished -especially the kitchen. Breakfast on the porch, boating on the beautiful lake, & swimming off the dock was wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay at the lake! The view can’t be beat! House was the best stocked house we have ever stayed in. Had everything from an abundance of laundry detergent to trash bags as well as a well appointed kitchen. The owner, Chris was very timely in responding to any and all questions. Even came over to say hello and make sure the house met our needs. No complaints!

Great location and great property to rent. Everything was as described and perfect. Plenty of room and lots of amenities. Would definitely stay again. Easy walk to the lake.

The property, area, generosity of the owners were all top notch. Factoring in the weather, this was an amazing trip that was enjoyed by all who came and we are all looking forward to returning someday.

The property was beautiful, unfortunately it was raining a good part of our stay. We were there for a wedding and rehearsal dinner at Cove Lake State park. That meant several drives up and down the curvy hill, twice at night and once with fog at night. In my husband's opinion, this would be a better stay for people who planned on staying up here most of the time, who didn't have to make the drive up and down. Of course, keep in mind that we are flat landers from IL. :) It would be a lovely place to stay for a week or several days to relax and enjoy the lake on a sunny day.

Property was amazing and beautiful! The owners are very pleasant and had great communication. Property is very spacious and clean, the view is amazing! Looking forward took booking with them again! Highly recommend anyone took book this property, you would love it!!!

What a great place to stay and I unplug for awhile. So peaceful and breathtaking. Placed just 20 minutes from town made for a great experience. This home will have everything you’ll even need and more. We travel often with our family of 6. And this place was by far one of the most convenient getaways we had in awhile. The owners had really taken the time and steps to insure an amazing time for all. Thank you so much! We’ll be back
