Family Vacation 2024

The property was everything we had hoped for and more! Plenty of room for two adults and four children. Kids enjoyed kayaking and swimming from the dock. Walk down to dock was easy with not a lot of steep steps. Enjoyed morning coffee and evening drinks on the deck. Property was very clean and well kept! We love Norris Lake and will definitely be looking to stay at this property again in the future.

Beautiful Home in a Beautiful Setting

We felt right at home the moment we walked in. It was clean and cozy with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The owner was wonderful to work with and made sure all of our needs were met. We enjoyed going out on the canoe and taking in the gorgeous sunsets and star gazing.

Awesome place, so relaxing and quiet

We had rain the entire week but made ways to make it fun! There were moments of no rain and we were able to sneak out for a quick boat ride out for fun. The dock is perfect for my granddaughters to go out for some swimming and fun too, quiet and secluded. Thank you!

Labor day weekend

We had the absolute best time! The place was more than we expected. It was very clean and had everything we needed. The view of the lake was amazing and it was so nice to have the dock steps away. Our kids had the best time floating in the water and the kayaks were a nice bonus. We already want to go back. Thank you so much Mike!!

Quiet & low tech

Beautiful home has everything, except the hot tub in the picture. Has boat dock and everything thing a big family needs-beds & kitchen supplies, & washer dryer. The owner is exceptional and communicated frequently. There is a land line. Teenagers and big techie people who need entertainment 24/7 online may be somewhat disappointed but the outdoors was wonderful for boaters or basketballers. We (adults) loved it.

Just what we needed!

As an adult, life can get very stressful with the every day worries of work and home life. I feel that vacations are so important and this one was a wonderful one. We had the best time. The home is spacious, very clean, had alot of options for outdoor activities such as corn hole boards, basketball and hoop, and fire pit. As well as a few board games and puzzles inside. The lake view is breathtaking and the ease of getting down to the dock/water was great. Some lake homes have incredibly steep hills you must conquer in order to get to the lake which can be very challenging for some. The covered porch was so relaxing for reading, visiting, even ate out there on the picnic table a few times. We will 100% stay here again. We had no issues or concerns, nothing but great memories. The only thing that was not on the listing that some should be aware of, is that the driveway is VERY steep. If you have a low vehicle, it could cause issues. Our suv's did fine on it after the intimidation wore off lol

The house was perfect for our group. The walk to the dock was not bad at all. Mike was very easy to deal with. House was clean and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this house. Everyone enjoyed themselves. One of the best stays we’ve had at Norris!!!! Thanks again to the Murray’s for sharing their house with us. Can’t wait to rent again next season. And the striper fishing was on fire!!

Tuns of FUN!!

This is the second time that we have stayed at this property. It never disappoints. The owners are more than accommodating and seems like when we returned they have updated or added more to make our stay comfortable. They are located on a very pretty part of the lake close to many fun activities and not to far from a main highway. They are tucked away in a protected cove which is great for floating and playing at the dock. We have rented a pontoon boat for a full week from Norris Lake Marina both times that we have visited the property. We are close to many marinas, rope swings, the Norris goat cave, and cliff jumping. There are very steps to the water and everything outside is well lit. We look forward to rebooking at this property soon.

About the host

Hosted by Mike M Murray

Host profile image
My wife and I lived in Knoxville, TN for 10 years and loved spending time at Norris Lake. We now live in Columbus, OH so that we can be closer to our families.

Why they chose this property

Even though we moved to OH, we wanted to continue to enjoy boating and skiing with our children and friends, so we bought this cottage to enjoy and share with others. Our property is close to our friends and it is in a wonderful area of Norris Lake.

What makes this property unique

Our property has a covered dock. We are near the end of a cove, so there is no boat traffic in front of the dock and it is very safe for swimming, even for smaller children. The lot is not steep and the house is close to the water, so it is easy to walk between the house and dock. Our property is very peaceful and relaxing - it's a great family get-away!
