To begin with the oven wasnât working and after many calls and a few hours we were able to get into the electric box to flip it on. The rental company does not provide cleaning supplies due to their policy because it is poison. Thatâs what the proper manager told us. So the kitchen cabinets were filled with house feces and all we had to clean it with was dish soap. Also, the coffee pot had mold and old coffee grinds. Again nothing to clean with. They knew this on Wednesday night and we stayed until Saturday. I was told we would get part of the cleaning fee back but did not. It caused unfortunate stress when we got there unsure if we would be able to cook Thanksgiving or have to leave, etc.after paying a lot to rent the cabin.
renting homes Norris 20 Yrs. This is a great home Lots of room to make large group comfy. But a sparkling kitchen No -a dirty kitchen with a broken dishwasher and only 2 working burners.
The dock is 8x 24 flat .The path to it is easy enough followed by a platform / deck with stairs to the rocks. I am not new! I know docks can be tricky to access especially when the waters is low. But this was ridiculous
At the bottom of the steps were three planks fashioned together to get to the dock. The middle one was on rocks nearly straight up and down. Extremely difficulty / dangerous for members of my group to get down .
I texted the manager and two men came and pulled the dock further into the lake. Then laid the planks across the water to it. NOW you had to climb down the rocks , but when you crossed the planks, there was no support, so when they got to the middle people sank went in the water.
Next day-A storm came in, while on the dock with my daughter- Dock broke free! on one side and rotated sharply causing the dock line to nearly take us both out at the knees. As we ran up the hill, I heard the dock or boat? crash into the rocks.After climbing under the boat at night between the rocks, I confirmed that the dock struck the rocks about 2 ft short of my outdrive
A house that sleeps 15 with a dangerous dock large enough to hold one 20 ft boat makes no sense. Planned 3 mnths ahead and stayed for 10 days. A few in my party gave up on going boating
OWNER: Invest in a DOCK!
Pros vs Cons.
1. If you are a boater, renting a boat or like hanging out on the dock. Keep swiping, dock is terrible. First you need to walk the highwire to make it across the water to it. two of our guests fell attempting to cross. Its very small and unstable. Cheap!
2.The house is full of garage sale furniture and bedding. everything is the old stuff from the owner's house or picked up for 2$ by the curb. The bedrooms have carpet which is disgusting for a rental. Its stained and has not been cleaned in a long time. Everything else is very dated and smells like dog.
3. It is a true rental so keep expectations low.
4. Location on the water is great! bring what you need because closest store is 35 minutes. but the cove and southern part of the lake are amazing. Its close to a couple great marinas by water. House is large and plenty of space. Just loud with no insulation between floors.
5. I would not stay here again. Unless it is last minute or fits your budget.
6. Driveway has plenty of parking, Outside of the property is very nice.
Many issues stated in previous reviews are unresolved. Smoke alarms are missing, expired fire extinguisher, poor quality cookware, substandard furniture. The bunk bed in the basement is unusable for two people because it is not sturdy. The gas grill caught on fire because of all the residual grease and the grease tray ended up dropping out of the grill due to its poor condition. The property manager offered to bring us a new grill so hopefully the next guests wonât have this issue. Numerous other maintenance issues that did not ruin our vacation but were annoyances. Great house and great location but the house is not up to acceptable standards for this type of rental.
