Anniversary getaway
We had an amazing time on the lake and staying on this floating house. The house was as described and listed and the location was easy access. The ramp was a little steeper then we imagined so maybe including pics of the boat landing would be helpful!

Great Lake Getaway
What a great, cozy place for our weekend adventure! My sister and I had the pleasure of snatching up this floating house for Labor Day Weekend. The place was perfect for the two of us and my dog. The house was equipped with everything one would need. From linens to bath towels, beach towels, floaties, a large cooler, bottled water, coffee, creamer, sugar, Wi-Fi, AC, paddle boards, kayaks, life jackets, washer & dryer, and so on. Val and Andy, the owners, left us a welcome gift basket filled with treats, both savory and sweet, and wine along with a bottle of Prosecco and cheese and dried fruit in the refrigerator. Our morning coffee was made better by the lake and mountain view. The house was extremely clean, and the owners were very communicative with us. They made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend this getaway to anyone who is looking to spend time on Norris Lake. You can visit many of the Marina's and have a full day on the lake. I will definitely rent this spot again!
