Beautiful house and view.

Beautiful property and amazing property owner. A bit of a climb back up from the dock which would not be great for the elderly but it was good exercise for our crew.

Family vacation

This place is beautiful. We stayed 5 days. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need from the ice maker to fill your coolers to all the games for the kids. The house is on a nice cove with a two story dock. The kids loved jumping off the top They also have a nice pontoon available for rent. The kids loved tubing every day This place is top notch Bill the owner does everything you could ask to make sure your stay is perfect We had the best time and can not wait to return.

A relaxing week at Norris Lake

We had a fantastic week at the lake! The home had everything that we needed and all of the kids ranging in age from 12-21 had a great time. When the weather was uncooperative, we entertained ourselves inside with all of the games that were provided (pool, ping pong, darts and numerous board games). This house is even better than pictured and we hope to visit again in the future! The homeowner was a pleasure to work with and quick to respond to questions. Now sadly, we must return to reality!

Awesome Place

This is our 2nd time staying here and once again we were NOT disappointed! Kids love the double decker dock to jump off and we love the location, very little boat traffic in a nice deep cove. We will definitely be back again next year !

another awesome week

Our families had another awesome week at this house, the house was extremely clean when we arrived, there is plenty of room for all family members, the kids absolutely love the double decker dock. The dock as also on a deep channel so u never have to worry about the water being deep enough. You will not find a better house and view at these rates then right here!! The best deal on Norris Lake !

The Vogel lake house was ...

The Vogel lake house was just perfect for what our family was looking for! We had all ages ranging from 2-77 years old. The house is clean, comfortable, well-decorated and perfect for kids. The paved path, which led to the nicest dock I have ever been on, was perfect for people who might not be so steady on their feet. The special bonus was how kind the Vogel family was on working with us on our last minute stay. We hope to return for many years!!!

Great Extended Family Trip to Our Special Place, Norris Lake

My sisters and I enjoyed a trip to Norris Lake with our families and our father in July 2023. What a gift to find this wonderful listing. The home is even more beautiful than the pictures with plenty of space for families to spread out as well as come together. The indoor and outdoor living spaces were very much enjoyed with outdoor dining, late night card games, and s’mores by the fire pit. Bill is a great and accommodating host offering us detailed instructions on how to find the property, how to make ourselves at home, etc. We all highly recommend this location and home for your next group gathering, your expectations will be greatly exceeded!

the house had everything we needed!!!

the only negative i have is the Wifi issue. We really needed to work a few hours a day and wanted to watch netfliz or a movie at night.......and guests only get 2gb of wifi per day. Other than that, the house and the dock were just what we needed!!! The owner was very helpful when we had questions. The cove was peaceful and we loved hanging on the dock! We would rent this house again!

Everything we hope for !

We have been coming to Norris Lake now for over 13 years, we have done the Houseboats ,camping and Vacation Homes. This house was everything we had hoped for, it is very spacious inside, plenty of room for the family, the Double Decker Dock was a HUGE hit with the kids. The location of the house is very close (about 8-10 mins. by Jet Skis) to Marina for Gas and beverages and is in a nice quiet cove. I highly recommend this house (just not on our days please) and Mr. Vogel was responsive to my emails and texts, we WILL definitely be back next year. Thank you again for the wonderful time !

Will NEVER be back!

This was the second year we rented this property and it was very different than the previous year. We had several problems with the property. The washing machine did not work the entire week, along with several things run down. This property does NOT include a covered slip. Read your rental agreement thoroughly before renting.

Definitely Coming Back

We've rented homes at Norris everywhere from Deerfield to Twin Cove, to behind the Jumping Bridge to Bubba Brew's. This home, the setup, and Bill's care and attention to the property and his guests were all exceptional and we rate them among the best properties we've seen across Norris over the last 12 years. The house and dock were fabulous. Clean, great accommodations, and a perfect setup for a week having fun on the Lake with a medium size group. Bill sent lots of great information prior to our stay. On his recommendation, we docked at Whitman Hollow and spent a couple great afternoons at their newly renovated marina restaurant and bar which was awesome. We added a golf cart rental Bill recommended and zipped up and down to the 2 story dock all week. Lots of extra touches on this property including a freezer to store always needed ice. Kitchen and grill were perfect for a big breakfast each day and a big steak night dinner. We all loved the property almost as much as we love being together with our friends on Norris. We will definitely be back if Bill will have us again!

Norris Lake Rental

This is a tastefully decorated gorgous home. We arrived to find the home clean, modern, well furnished and stocked with every ammenity imaginable. The best features of this home are the large, modern, open kitchen/dining area, the exceptional master and master bath, the massive bunk area for children and the large dock. We had children ages 2-13 and they all LOVED the jumping dock as much, if not more, than anything else. The dock area is well stocked with high end, comfortable, padded furniture and a excellent ladders that make exiting the water easy for the older crowd. The downsides to this property would be the lack of cell service (there is NO cell service at all, with any carrier) and the last 1/3 of the hill. While the hill is very nicely paved and the 2/3 from the dock up are easily managed, the top 1/3 (getting close to the house) is extremely steep. While I would recommend renting a golf cart, I will caution you that when we attempted to rent one, it did not show up. We contacted the golf cart company recommended, set up the rental and when it didn't show up, attempted to reach the owner of the golf cart company. He didn't call back until the next evening (24 hours later). He didn't seem to care that he forgot our rental. In fact, he claimed that he simply forgot (as if it were our fault) and still planned on charging us the same rate for the week. We declined the rental. I'm not sure how he stays in business with that type of customer service.

House was very nice with an excellent dock to hang out on and swim off of. The house set up was great. Three nice sized bedrooms upstairs and a perfect set up for kids in the basement with their own living room, 4 bunks, pool table and air hockey. Owner is very helpful and knowledgeable about the lake. We had an issue with the AC and Bill took care of it ASAP.

Wonderful Lake House with Private Pier

This is a wonderful property to host one or more families for a great lakefront vacation. Host Bill is wonderful to work with! He's organized and on top of everything; he really wants guests to have a great experience. The house was well appointed, beautifully decorated and very clean. Kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. Bill provides access to tie up a boat or waverunners to his private pier. There are 5 (yes 5) outdoor decks and seating areas.The only drawback is that it's a very remote area and there's little to no cell service at the house and for several miles from the property (Bill does provide use of his house phone, which is great). And the internet can sometimes be spotty too. The town itself is 30 minutes away. But if you're looking to disconnect and enjoy some time at the lake, this is a great place to do just that! We really enjoyed our stay.

AMAZING Family Vacation!

This property EXCEEDED all of our expectations! I cannot think of one thing I would change. The location of the property on the lake was perfect, the dock gets full sun all day long and both Whitman Hollow and Sequoyah marinas are conveniently located and easily accessible by boat to fill up on gas/ice. The house is beautiful and well equipped with everything we could have possibly needed. The views from the decks were stunning and the game room was GREAT fun for all in the evenings. The owner, Bill, was very attentive. He provided an incredibly informative guide prior to our arrival with detailed directions and great advice/recommendations!! We are so thankful for our time spent here and the wonderful memories that were made:)
