Great Family Vacation at Norris Lake!

Beautiful home, and the lake is absolutely fantastic! Pretty location in a quiet cove with a huge dock and access to a kayak and paddleboard. The home was very comfortable with plenty of space for our family to spread out, room for the cousins to play and tons of games to enjoy. The host provided great information, was available and helpful before and during our stay.

Another Fantastic Stay

This was our 2nd time staying at this property and it was even better than before. We owners wholeheartedly care about their lake home and continue to make upgrades. The dock was perfect for us and the cove is quiet. The kitchen was well stocked and the table was large enough for all 9 of us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Great option for family reunion

We had a blast! The house was great for multiple families of different ages who want an escape. Pay attention to the driveway parking and steps down to the lake descriptions (both are accurate and can be a challenge for some people). Very quiet and peaceful

This was our first trip to Norris Lake and it didn't disappoint. The house was great-plenty of room and everything we needed. The dock and cove were wonderful for swimming/floating and fishing. Very peaceful and quiet area and neighbors were very nice. We rented a pontoon from Mountain Lake Marina which is about a 10 min boat ride from house. Jim was extremely responsive to any questions and provided all information to make the stay enjoyable. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect place for family.

Our stay here was fantastic. Everything it said in the listing was correct and the home was very well kept. Yes, there are a lot of steps going down to the dock but that is most places on lake Norris. The dock is huge and having the kayak and paddle board provided was a nice added bonus. There were nine of us total, including 19, 18 and 15-year-olds who had a blast. Communication with Jim was never an issue. He was very responsive and easy to deal with. We would definitely stay here again.

Norris Family Vacation

The house was in great shape and well equipped. Lots of space for 6 adults and 4 kids. Dock was fantastic. There are quite a few steps to the lake, but they were stone and sturdy and not slippery. Firepit area was very nice. Driveway was a little tricky (steep) but manageable. We brought in groceries and cooked all meals except for one. We took a quick boat ride to Mountain Lake Marina and had dinner one night. Great food and affordable. We had a fantastic time!

Amazing week. This was our first trip to Norris Lake and so glad we chose this property for our stay. The house was perfect and we especially enjoyed the fire pit on the deck where we spent our evenings. There were many steps as warned but well worth the trip down to the spacious dock and peaceful cove where we swam and fished. Mountain Lake Marina delivered a pontoon boat right to our dock and we enjoyed exploring the lake for a few days. Jim was extremely helpful answering all my questions and providing all necessary information for our stay. We would definitely stay again.

Beautiful Lake Home!

This was our family's first trip to Norris Lake and we were very pleased and happy with our stay in Jim's home. Everything was perfect. Jim was very responsive to messages and we had no issues at all. The home is beautiful, clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly need. We took our boat along and docked it at the house for the week. We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the lake and surrounding areas. We would love to return for future visits!

About the host

Hosted by Jim or Marj Gaskell

Host profile image
We built our vacation home in 2004 and have been VRBO hosts for over 20 years. Our home is well maintained because it's not just a rental property but both a home for our family and yours.

Why they chose this property

Our property is very peaceful and has beautiful wooded surroundings. If you are looking for a great place to relax and enjoy friends, this is the place.

What makes this property unique

Since we are located back in a cove, swimming around the dock or going for longer swims is perfectly fine since there is no boat traffic. There is also great hiking on the TVA trails across the cove you are certain to enjoy.
