Thank you so much, Tasha, for a wonderful stay! The place was clean and well stocked with all the necessities. The outdoor space was definitely our favorite. Plenty of seating and outdoor grill with a beautiful view of the lake. Stardust Marina is in walking distance which is where we rented a pontoon boat for a day. We will definitely book with Tasha again!

Amazing Stay

We have been going to the lake every summer for a few years now and this was one of our favorite places that we stayed! The location was great and the place was very nice. Our favorite part was the outdoor patio overlooking the water. There was plenty of seating for everyone to enjoy time together. Highly recommend booking!

Great house! Very clean - lots of towels which was nice. Air conditioner was loud when sitting outside, but lots of room outside to enjoy the lake views. Covered slip was also very nice for the boat.

Fantastic outdoor space

This is a fantastic place to stay for boating/fishing enthusiasts. Awesome outdoor living space. Really nice to boat all day and then dock your boat right at your house. Stardust Marina right outside your door. A bit of confusion about number of covered slips available with rental, but we were able to dock the boats along side the outdoor patios, so not a deal breaker.

Perfect space especially if you have a boat .

Perfect place to stay specially, if you have a boat, you can bring it to the slip that is three steps from your front door. The space was nicely decorated very clean. Everything you need for a great day.

This place was perfect! Very clean and well stocked with necessities. Close to civilization, but the wi-fi was decent enough on the water to communicate. Fun activities and a marina within a stones throw. Great communication as well - highly recommend. Great value!

Norris Lake Floating House

We were there for the last aummer trip and it was lovely! The house was clean and just like it was described. We were able to park my boat, enjoy some fishing and gorgeous views. The only thing I would suggest is a broom so we could clean after cooking.

Beautiful floating house!

This is the second time that I have booked and stayed! Both times, absolutely amazing and so peaceful! The floating house is beautifully decorated and family friendly. We love sitting on the sides of the house and enjoying the lake views. We are looking forward to booking again for our future family trips!

If I Could Give it More Stars I Would!

We’ve been coming to Norris for many years and stayed in multiple rental properties, this is by far our favorite. From the drive to the ease of the launch to the amazingness of just coming home at the end of the day and being home with no stairs or golf cart rides to deal with, this place is perfection. Central on the lake and being by stardust makes it easy to just show up if you don’t want to do any cooking. You will not regret staying here. We cannot wait to come back!!!

About the host

Hosted by Tasha Kesterson

Host profile image
We have been avid lake lovers for years and had dreams of purchasing a lake front house. The opportunity arose for us to purchase a floating building that had been a marina. We spent the majority of 2017 renovating the floating building into a vacation home. We hope that you enjoy Half Moon Harbor. It has been a labor of love!

Why they chose this property

Half Moon Harbor was once a marina. We purchased it in July 2017 with intent to renovate and turn it into a floating duplex. After a full 12 months of hard work we accomplished our goal and created a unique floating duplex on the beautiful Norris Lake that has all the comforts of home! We have met some wonderful people from all over the US that have created fond memories.

What makes this property unique

The only Floating Duplex house on Norris that is accessible by land and water. Huge Covered outdoor patio to enjoy lake views and outdoor dining rain or shine. Covered Boat slip right at your front door. Gorgeous sunsets. Perfect spot for fishing right off your own dock. Wake up to the lake being your front yard. On Saturday nights you can listen to the featured band right from your own patio. Paddle boat over to Stardust marina for ice cream or a burger!
