Nice House

Overall, it was a good house for us. We had 16 adults ranging from 67 to 26 and 9 children under 7yrs. The drive in - we had 4 sedans (2 Civics, 1 Elantra, and 1 Jetta) they all scraped on the way in and out on 1 particular hill. Some deep "gullies" on a steep uphill part made that particular hill a little daunting plus it as wet/rainy. The 2 CRVs, Outback, & 2 Odysseys made it fine. The house itself is very nice with the 2 indoor sitting areas, 3 large decks with seating, & theater room. Just an FYI, you make the beds when you get there. The bedrooms/bathrooms are as pictured; many blinds didn't seem to work. 1 bathroom fan didn't work. There are no doors on any of the stairs. The kitchen was fairly well stocked: 1 24qt? pot, "regular sized" pots, several frying pans of various sizes. There were not very many serving bowls. 2 13x9 size casserole dishes and a couple small ones. Only real complaint is that some silverware must have gone missing at some point because we were always washing forks - I think the total must have been around 25 forks. I agree with previous commenters who have children - It might be good at least on the lowest deck door if there was a higher lock or child lock of some sort. Even if there was a gate to go down the stairs to the water (we brought our own gate and managed to secure it for that area, but it took some ingenuity). With all the doors having lever handles, it is easy for any child who is tall enough to open the outside doors.

Lake Norris getaway

We had a wonderful stay with 4 generations and 21 family members post Christmas. The home is setup perfectly for a large group-- great bedrooms and connected bathrooms, large eating and family room areas, beautiful decks, and a huge kitchen! The theater room is awesome and the fire pit area was great. I can't think of a thing missing with this house. The driveway is a little challenging and definitely not advised to tackle at night. I hope we have the chance to come back and enjoy this place again!

Wonderful house with lots of common areas to spread out in. With Eric's help, we rented a pontoon boat so were able to get a good feel about the size of the lake. It was in October, so we had most of the lake to ourselves.

Family vacay!

Couldn't of been more perfect! The house was beautiful and perfect for the amount in our group. 18 adults 5 kids between 1-8. Be prepared for a lot of steps in the house and to the dock. But then you can eat and drink more lol. We rented a pontoon boat for 2 day's from a company on the lake. When we arrived at the house the boat was already there. Great family vacation. Thank you for sharing your home.

Greta Time and Great House!

We had a group of 20 for a work retreat! The house provided everything that we need and more. It was so nice that everyone had their own bedroom and bath room. We loved that the rooms were numbered because you could get lost! Great communication with the owner throughout the the process. We would definitely book again.

You won’t regret this booking!

This property was built to handle all 36 people it says it can accommodate. All bedrooms had an attached bathroom which worked great for our group. The open first floor plan gave us the ability to all be together but still feel like we had so much space. The hill coming into the property can look a little scary but the place is beyond worth the drive down the gravel road. With it being a three story home be ready to get your steps in! We did have a couple of people that steps aren’t the best for but two of the bedrooms are right off the first floor so they were able to still enjoy the stay without all the flights up and down. The kitchen was fully stocked to handle the crowd and there were plenty of coffee makers. The kids enjoyed watching movies and sitting in the hot tub. Would LOVE to come back in the summer and enjoy the outside of the home more. Host were so responsive and if needed were just a message away. Everyone left saying how wonderful the weekend was. It might be hard to please a crowd but this place did it!

The Ramsay get a way

We had such a great time at the Emerald View. The house was perfect for 29. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. We even made Gumbo in the oversized pots and pans. Perfect kitchen. The weather was cold so we mainly stayed inside but when the sun came out we enjoyed the large decks. Only complaints: the bottom floor was cold and parking was rough. Overall-this house was great for our family.

This home was amazing!!

My group and I chose this property for our couples retreat and we're so glad we did. The road going to the home was a little scary, but it was worth it. This 3 level home was absolutely amazing and was able to accommodate our large group quite comfortably. The kitchen/dining area was huge and well stocked with everything we needed to prepare our meals. The bedrooms were spacious and we enjoyed spending time on the deck and using the fire pit. We had plenty of room to enjoy our festivities. If we had any questions the host responded quickly. This is a 3 level home, so be prepared to go up and down a lot of stairs. Don't hesitate to book this home. You will not be disappointed

About the host

Hosted by Eric Thorla

Dana and I live in Pickerington, Ohio and have four children and six grandchildren. I am retired from the telecommunications industry where I was an engineer for 33 years. My wife Dana is a successful real estate agent in the Central Ohio area. We love walking, biking, skiing, boating and traveling.

Why they chose this property

We have been vacationing at Norris Lake for over 10 years with our family and friend groups and fell in love with the deep, clean emerald waters of Tennessee. We wanted to rent a home for our large family and found how difficult it was to find a place to rent. The large rental homes were booked one year in advance so we decided to build our own.

What makes this property unique

We love this location because of the private, protected, calm cove waters, perfect for swimming off the dock, in year-around deep, clean beautiful water. The home is built as close to the lake as the TVA allows which offers a gentle slope from the house to the lake. We have added the following to our home: A Theater Room (to attract people outside of the swimming and boating season), a Double Decker covered 2 slip boat dock and Fire pit area. We hope you will enjoy this as much as we have.
