The trip was amazing! Beautiful property and the house was the perfect size for the amount of people in our group. The trolly down to the lake was nice and smooth and the dock was a perfect spot to hang out on the water. Short drive off the highway and about 20 min from Twin Cove Marina to pickup any rentals. Highly recommend!
Location was very convenient, and the house and views from the dock were amazing!! Kitchen was well stocked for lots of cooking. Large home with plenty of room, however very dusty and lots of cobwebs all throughout the home. For this price range expected it to actually be clean. Other than that had a great stay!
Not a bad drive in like some other places. Ample parking and boat trailer storage. Even though up on a steep hill, the tram made it convenient, but 2 or more trips are necessary taking about 10 minutes to get down. Nice dock, very spacious with a boat lift! Problem is the lights stay on, bugs swarm, then spiders infest the area and get on boat. Plenty of space, lots of beds, plenty of burners on stove to cook for an army. Negative issues: no window treatments, we felt a lack of privacy (you can lay in bed and see the hot tube and someone on the deck can see right into the master bedroom), plus children were scared to sleep in the rooms without shades/privacy panels. Beds very hard, not for the side sleepers! Grill rusted out no ignition and burners worn out. Cob webs throughout the inside of home, dusty fans etc.
We had a great stay at this home! The home is spacious and the layout was terrific for our group. The location on the lake is terrific with easy access to Twin Cover Marina. There were some nice upgrades throughout the home. Home had a great kitchen for meal preparation. We had some reservations about the tram--but we all quickly became "fans of the tram"--made that trip up and down from the dock very easy! Most impressed with the communication with the owner. Had a few bumps in the road (nothing out of the norm)--had easy access and communication with owner during our stay--he was very responsive. Would most definitely look at renting this home again.
Breathtaking view from the dock! The tram made access to the water incredibly easy, and the home itself was spacious enough to comfortably host me and my extended family. Itâs an ideal spot for guests who may have difficulty navigating typical Norris Lake properties, which often feature long paths or steep staircases to the dock. We especially appreciated the sturdy, easy-to-use steps leading into the waterâperfect for swimmers of all ages. Ed was quick to respond whenever we had questions, making the experience smooth and enjoyable.
We had a wonderful stay! Pictures and description are accurate. The upstairs bedroom did get hot on extremely hot days. The tram was a lifesaver!! You may want to bring your own washcloths and towels depending on how many are in your group. We would definitely return in the future.
The home is beautiful, and the views are spectacular. This is truly one of the best parts of Norris Lake. The home was comfortable and large enough that we all had our privacy when needed yet we could all gather together for meals, games, and relaxing. The dock is very large and gave us both sun and shade options. The lake and mountains are the very best part! We all jumped in our boat to enjoy the day skiing, tubing, and swimming in turtle cove! We will definitely be back!The owner was available to help with any questions we had.
A huge house !! Beautiful! The kitchen is perfect for all family members to cook! Heidi and Ed responded quickly! Hot tub was great ! A great week on the lake.
We had a few days with our whole family at this cabin. (total of 14 people) the cabin held everyone very comfortably. There were plenty of bathrooms, and the kitchen supplied everything we needed for our meals. Not only was it a great place for our stay, but it was a beautiful setting with a great dock that held our rented boat and jet ski. the views were beautiful, and had time of relaxation and enjoyment.
I needed to rent a home for friends and family coming in for a graduation celebration at the University of Tennessee. I looked for a place where we could all relax and be able to hang out together. This location is a little ways away from downtown Knoxville but still worked out really well. The home turned out to be perfect for us. The location is as described, very pretty and peaceful. We really enjoyed being able to hang out by the lake. The kitchen had everything we needed to make family meals. And there are plenty of spots for a big group of people to be able to sit together.My only regret was not renting a boat to fully enjoy the location. If you are looking for a home on the water for a decent sized group this is the place.
Our stay was pretty perfect!! No surprises as far as property and accommodations. Everything is so beautiful-house and surroundings. Would have loved an 11 or 12 checkout tho-hint, hint. Property owners are just a text away & answer quickly. Thankfully Twin Coves Marina did give us rides back and forth for pontoon rental but they really âdidn'tâ want to- and they said they never have done this. We told them property info says they will. Might want to change that as far as whatâs written. So, a lovely stay. Would definitely go back!!
We have stayed at several places on Lake Norris. This one did not disappoint. It was very spacious, layout was good. Kitchen had alI the essentials. I was unsure of the tram idea but ended up loving the convenience. The house could have been cleaned better. Also it would be nice to have a couple extra blankets in the living rooms. But overall it was a great place to relax for the weekend.
My family and I stayed at this house for five nights. The house is very nice and as described in the description. We really enjoyed the dock and tram is a leg saver!
This beautiful property has the best views of any Norris lake properties we have stayed in so far. The tram to the lake was a concern, but ended up being very enjoyable and relaxing with the best conversations of our vacation. The owner was very responsive and communication was fantastic. Aplus property and the open water area with a marina right across the water where you could hear the live music was awesome.
We really enjoyed our stay at this home. We had 5 families and the space was great. Loved the tram as a great way down the mountain. Our only watch outs are: very uncomfortable beds and pillows - super hard and low quality, no window coverings on any windows - making for very little sleeping in in the morning.
We absolutely love the place! The views of the wild live was my 5 year olds favorite thing! Fire pit and spacious kitchen were also a hit! We will be back!!!!
Our group comes to Norris each year but we have outgrown our usual spot so decided to try this out. Overall the house, dock and location were great. It's really convenient to I-75 and having Twin Cove Marina across the lake made it easy for boat rental, gas and ice. The driveway to the house was less steep than most houses we have stayed in. The kitchen was well stocked and it was nice to have a large fridge upstairs and another one on the lower level.
The overall cleanliness of the house and dock area needed some attention. The floors were dirty and we actually ended up scrubbing the dock ladder ourselves because they were so slippery.
The tram was nice to have to get the kids and gear down but note it is the only way to get up and down. We found it would have been nice to have a secondary way to get up the hill for quick runs as the tram takes about 8 mins round trip and can only hold 800 lbs.
Overall it's a lovely house and location and we really enjoyed our time.
Nice spacious place! The additional living areas, front and side deck, where awesome to have in the evenings! The trolley made it easy to get coolers and items down to dock. Side note that trolley is the ONLY way to access the dock so just be aware. Owners where easy to communicate with. Only complaint I have is the place was not very clean, no fault to owners as hard to manage remotely. Very beautiful place and the lake area was not super busy so safe and comfortable place to float right off the dock area.
