The house was very easy to get to and had a beautiful view of the lake. The water access was great and in a calmer part of the lake. We will definitely rent again!

Beautiful lake house! Our group really enjoyed the covered patio (cooking, eating, playing cards, watching tv) and 2 story dock (swimming, kayaking, sun bathing). Convenient location… a short boat ride from several marinas and plenty of open water for tubing! Great communication with the owner. I would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a memorable trip to Norris Lake!

One of THE best properties we've ever had the pleasure of staying in. There is not one thing they haven't thought of to make time at the lake the vacation it deserves to be. Communication from the owner was impeccable. We enjoyed the outdoor space on the deck each and every morning for coffee and every evening for dinner. Idyllic! Thank you Tom & Beth!

Location, location location...... First Trax Lodge is perfectly located on Hiawassee Pointe in the Big Creek Area of Norris Lake. Our number one area on Norris Lake due to the clean, deep teal water. First Trax Lodge is absolutely beautiful inside and outside. The hosts, Beth & Tom, provide a clean, well stocked home for your enjoyment! First Trax Lodge has the very best outdoor kitchen. The EVO grill was perfect for breakfast and dinner preparations. Top quality construction throughout. Attention to detail in supplies, necessities goes up and beyond expectations! Step into First Trax Lodge and know family memories will be made within. If this home could hug you and yours, it would! All the commercial appliances and ice maker provided the capacity we required during our stay. Plentiful bedding and towels, all quality products. The owners are great on communication before, during and after your stay. If you are fortunate enough to stay at First Trax Lodge, respect the hard work that went into its creation and the open sharing that has been entrusted to you and yours.

we had a blast

We had a great time on our trip to norris. The house was beautiful and the dock was an easy walk from the house. The outside kitchen was perfect and we cooked every breakfast and dinner out there! The owner of the house was available before and during our trip with any of our questions. Loved it!!!!!

Beautiful Property

The outside of the property was beautiful. The kitchen was stocked well with cooking supplies. Outside grill worked great too. The dock was very spacious. Plenty of room for a large group. The owners were very friendly and easy to work with. The lake itself was also beautiful and not overly crowded. Very clear water.

5 Star Stay

Everything about this house is fantastic. Host is quick to respond and anticipates needs. Inside is comfortable and clean. Outside areas with large table for everyone to gather and outdoor kitchen made meals an event! The dock has lots of toys that you are encouraged to use and we enjoyed that the most. It's a great location. You'll have fun on the lake and off!

Awesome Norris Lake Home

This property is fantastic and the owners are great to work with! It has everything you need for a great Norris Lake vacation. Plenty of fridge space, extra freezer, ice machine, outdoor kitchen and entertainment. Really too much to list. We've rented several VRBO properties and this is on the top of the list. We will definitely frequent this property in the future.

Best Vacation Ever

Great home, lake, dock, and owner’s. 14 in my family & house fit us just fine. 3 20’+ boats & dock accommodated with plenty of space for swimming, fishing, and 2nd story lounging. Main level deck is unmatched anywhere we have stayed. I wish Tom & Beth all the success in the future and will definitively be back next year.
