Excellent house with everything you need. Plenty of room and exceptionally clean. This a great property and we will be back. Owners did the little things that make the place stand out above the rest. You will not be disappointed with this house. Excellent location on the lake, quiet cove, quick access to grocery stores and the marina.
This was the perfect end of summer weekend retreat!

Melissa - We are thrilled you were able to get away and enjoy yourselves! You are welcome back any time. Fall is a great time to visit the lake too! Enjoy the rest of your summer. Amy & Lori
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this location. Everything was just as listed. The only part that was challenging was the parking, It's very tight and close to a cement retaining wall. The kitchen was fully stocked and the dishes were in good condition. In the past we brought our own dishws due to poor cookware so we appreciated that. Would definitely stay here again.

We are happy you enjoyed your stay and hope you decide to return! Parking at the lake is a premium which is why our community offers an overflow parking lot for vehicles and one for boat trailers. Enjoy the rest of your summer!
From the time we walked in we relaxed. Everything was clean. We had enough room to spread out and just enjoy being together. When you live in Florida you forget how beautiful Tennessee is. There are a lot of stairs but even my 90 year old dad made it down to the lake. We are talking about doing it again next year.
Plenty of room for 4 families. Kitchen was well stocked. Beds were comfortable, pillows could have been better so bring your own. The dock was great, very clean with trek decking so no splinters! There are 80 steps from the dock to the kitchen so not a house for the unfit. No boat traffic in this dead end cove which is nice, but also a little noisy due to 10 docks full of families in one place.
Great property with many bedrooms, spacious kitchen, entertainment options and a swimming cove without a ton of high speed boat traffic. Convenient for days out on Norris Lake in the boat and relaxing evening swimming and floating at the dock.
Thanks for a great family vacation location.

Perfect for our Faimly Retreat
Even with a group of 20, we never once felt cramped on space. The dock was gorgeous and the house was well-furnished. We would certainly recommend!

Awesome place!
Totally loved the cabin! Had an outstanding weekend with family after our wedding and enjoyed the quiet, relaxing atmosphere that this property provided! The owners were amazing to work with and super helpful in ensuring that everything was set up and that we were able to check in early an leave late! Totally recommend this place and will be going back again!

Thank you for the lovely review. I must have missed seeing this review, which is why I am responding late. We are very pleased that this young man was happy as he was celebrating his new bride with his family. He is active military, and we thank him for his service. Come back anytime. If off season we often let renters arrive earlier in the day and stay after regular check out.
Our 1st time at Norris was perfect! This beautiful lake house had everything we needed for our large family! The quiet cove was the perfect spot to swim and float without much boat traffic and the slide was definitely a favorite! We definitely plan on coming back and creating more
Memories!!

So happy your first trip to Norris was a success! We appreciate you choosing to stay at Its 5 O’clock Somewhere. Looking forward to booking your next trip!
House was great. We had a party of 15 and still plenty of space. Right on the water and scenic views. Would stay again. Lots of steps inside and outside so be prepared.

We are happy that you enjoyed your stay at It's Five O'clock Somewhere! The private cove and beautiful scenic view is why we purchased this home. Given the terrain that surrounds Norris Lake, many steps to the lake are the norm. Fortunately, our home has fewer steps than many rental properties. We hope you consider returning in 2020!
Happy New Year!

Thank you. You were a wonderful renter and very responsive to our house rules. You left our lake house in excellent condition.
Renting experience was seamless however a smoke alarm kept going off on Saturday afternoon, which is an early departure, as the alarm wouldn’t silence itself, causing us to leave early

Location and house was a perfect fit for the 15 of us.

About the host
Hosted by Amy Montgomery, Lori Panda
We live in Columbus, Ohio and have been vacationing at Norris Lake for years. It’s always been a dream of ours to own a home on Norris Lake. We finally found the perfect one! We love to share our home with others so they can make memories like we have over the years!
Why they chose this property
We chose this home because of the location in Lakeside Estates and it's easy access from I75. We are only 3.5 miles off of route 63. It’s in a protected cove in a no wake zone. You can swim safely without worrying about boat traffic.
What makes this property unique
Our home accommodates multiple groups. It’s spacious floorplan allows several get away or group entertainment areas. The private dock provides all day fun and easy access to your own boats. It is close to the Jumping Bridge and Sugar Hollow dock. It provides a water paradise in the summer but it is also a wonderful retreat year-round. The autumn leaves are colorful and it is a cozy gathering place for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s. The gated community of Lakeside Estates offers it's own Boat launch ramp as well.
