About this property

Welcome to Ray's Place at Norris Lake, the Marth’s home on Big Creek in Norris Lake. A great family getaway.

Take the time to read our guests' reviews. This is a special place. Come visit!

THE HOUSE:

A beautifully constructed home completed for rent starting in the Summer of 2011. The house is approximately 3000 square feet, with two large decks overlooking majestic views of Norris lake. With sunset views of open water and the Cumberland Mountains in the distance, you will create memories for a lifetime. The house is an open floor plan, built as a lake house with big windows and doors opening to the water and the sunsets.

Five bedrooms, with two master bedrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs, an additional queen size bedroom, and two bunk room creates an inviting format for two or three families. Each bunk room has two double beds. Amenities include gas grill, washer/dryer, an industrial ice maker to load your coolers each day, and one of the best fire pit's on the Lake.

LOCATION:

If you like still open water, beautiful trees, and gorgeous views, this house is for you. We have a two slip covered dock with a large swim platform ( 12 x 32 feet). With half of it covered, so it is great if you love the sun or need a little shade. One slip will always be available for renters, with room to tie up an additional two boats if needed, or slips are available at nearby Sequoia and Whitman Hollow Marinas.

Our home is in the Big Creek area, positioned directly on the opposite side of the lake from Windsor Point. It is a nicely treed lot on a quiet street, ready for a rustic retreat, or the privacy for you to bring your party to Norris lake. We are a short 17 min drive off I-75, much closer to 75 than the congestion of Deerfield and far less water traffic.

ARRANGEMENTS:

See the calendar for rates. A VRBO security damage insurance fee of $59 is due upon reservation. Taxes and a cleaning fee ($300) are additional. If you have any questions or have an interest in rental, please call. The minimum age to rent is 25 years of age.

Fall/ winter stay

Lovely home and friendly host. Lake and view are pretty. Imagine the summer lake life fun is awesome at this location but this locations does have a lot of steep slopes. It is all manageable & come with the location but if you leave the location some car sickness was common. If there was any winter weather there would be no leaving. Warning over. We gathered as a family for Thanksgiving and had a blast. Kitchen had everything we needed along with a kids table and extra cleaning supplies. We mainly stayed at the house since local outings were lacking. Overall host is great house has what you need and pretty views. Since we visited in the Fall we did a lot of outside camp fires as the inside fireplace was not an option during our visit, we didn’t touch the water/ boats so I’m sure much more fun to be had.

Beautiful sunsets

The pictures don’t do the property justice. It is prettier in person. The kitchen is very well stocked. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious. The patio table is perfect for everyone to eat together with a gorgeous view to go with it. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic!

We had the best week at Tom's place. Back hill is steep but very manageable for all ages (4-62) in our party. Comfortable sleeping arrangements and we loved the upper and lower decks. If we weren't on the water we spent all of our time here! Dock is very nice as well! The pictures do this place no justice. All rooms (bedrooms and living space) are very spacious! Tom is a fantastic host and responds very quickly! Hopefully we'll be staying here again!

Great home on Norris

The home is as advertised. Beautiful, well kept, great location on the lake. We had 4 generations of family stay here during vacation and it was well suited for everyone (ages 3 to 82). And the dock is great for swimming if you have kids. Walk to the lake from the house is steep but manageable. Tom was easy to communicate with and extremely helpful. Would highly recommend this property to others.

About the host

Hosted by Tom Marth

My wife Kristi and I and our family have fallen in love with Norris lake. We are excited to share our home with you. The focus is family, friends, and good times shared. We live in Cincinnati with our four children and will continue to spend many great times at Norris lake in our home. We hope you enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

We chose this lot and house for a few reasons. We loved the amazing views of sunsets and open water not available in cove locations. We love the reduced congestion of Big Creek area versus the overcrowded, congression of the Deerfield area. We created a welcoming home, with one big great room open to the kitchen, huge decks overlooking great views of the lake, and a short walk (NO Steps) sidewalk to the water.

What makes this property unique

Big water, an awesome dock, with a covered slip for the renter. Close proximity to Whitman Hollow and Sequoia Marinas. A beautiful home, nicely appointed and ready for you to create memories of a lifetime. Best firepit on Norris, and ice maker on site.
