Waters Edge - Family reunion

Waters Edge was a great property for our 5 family reunion. Each family had a room and comfortably accommodated over 20 people with the addition of an occasional sleeping bag. The lower level deck was great and the hot tub did not disappoint. The location is easy to navigate too and the roads are very doable. There is limited parking (3 cars max). The steps to the lake are deceiving: 83 from the bottom floor of the house, 97 from the top. The dock is protected and good for swimming/floating, especially for small children. Access to the kayaks was nice, but 2 have holes in them and almost sank causing a real issue getting them out of the water. The proximity to neighboring docks/families slightly detracted from the family gathering. The dock is also not very big to allow a large group to just "hang out." The slip is also limiting related to height. Boats with a wake tower will not fit into it without taking down the tower (if possible). Getting to the main channel is easily a 10 minute (each way) non-wake producing ride which also takes time away from skiing/tubing. The listing notes a commercial ice maker and access to the lower closet with a separate code. Neither of those were accurate. Tom Strum's group manages many properties. When we asked about these two items, there was confusion as to which house we were in. That said, they were very receptive and quick to remove the rental boat that was occupying the slip when we arrived.

Fabulous place to stay with family

Well-appointed vacation home was perfect for our family visit. We enjoyed boating, fishing, toasting marshmallows at the fire pit, and soaking in the hot tub. I loved cooking dinners for our large family to enjoy together in the spacious dining area. The property manager was immediately available to help us overcome a few unforeseen incidents. Highly recommend!

Expected More

House was very clean, direct lake access with covered dock, Management/ owner was very responsive to all text, Harbor/boat ramp was very convenient just up the road. First impressions mean allot, driveway access very narrow and almost hidden, parking almost non-existent. When we approached the home all five trash cans where over-flowing and trash on top of them, contacted owner and he sent someone out to pick it up, who said he usually picks up on Saturday - this was Thursday. Inside living room rug was torn and frayed which kid tripped over, while stocking refrigerator door shelving cracked/broken, ice maker didn't work, choose this lake house over cheaper ones because it listed a hot tub - upon trying to use was not heating, needs repair and unusable. Manager offered another properties hot tub 4 doors down (not very convenient in 40 degree night temperatures with rain). Owner / Manager was advised and acknowledge all the listed defects via text messages. In farness, the parking issue is listed on property description and if this where all the issues we had our review would be much different. For the cost we had expected more, very disappointed for the amount of money property needs some TLC.

Lots of technical trouble

It was a beautiful place but we had electrical issues. The electricity went out for about 24hrs. It’s a long steep stair walk to the dock. The trash cans were full when we arrived. But the manager was very helpful and kind. Just had some issues with the place that was no one’s fault

Mostly positive

Very pleased with manager who addressed our minor issues rapidly and professionally. The thing I most liked about the property was the location. We were impressed with how well the kitchen itself was stocked with cooking pots and pans, dishes, silverware and all the stuff to run a full kitchen. The rooms were nice and comfortable. .The master bed was very comfortable. There were a lot of steps down to the very nice dock. Parking was very tight for four vehicles (3 suv and a small car). No land line telephone on properly for emergencies and our cell phones had no service (T-Mobile).

Great Family Vacation Home

Overall, we had a great stay. The home was very clean and well kept. There was plenty of space throughout the home. The decks were very nice for entertaining. The stairs were the only difficult part for the little ones, however, we knew when booking that there were a lot of stairs. Also, being in partial mountains it is expected! The lake was beautiful! The kayaks were nice to use. We rented a boat for one day from the marina right down the road. It was a great experience. Definitely recommend for families looking to visit Tennessee.

Our Stay at Flat Hollow

Our family was glad to have the opportunity to be together during the week between Christmas and New Year. The house provided ample space to be together, both inside and out. The hot tub was a hit, and we had a great time around the fire pit roasting marshmallows one night! One challenge for those of us over 40 was the number of stairs and access to the boat dock, but being winter, we didn’t make the trek often. We were in contact with the host a few times and he was always very responsive. A real plus!

We were a group of 9 people, 2 families vacationing for Fall Break! Everyone had plenty of space and everyone got to do things that they had been wanting to do!! The property is beautiful, super clean, and very well stocked with everything from kitchen supplies and extra blankets to games. The owner was great to work with! My only reservation would be returning with young kids or anyone with disabilities. Getting to the dock and the very bottom of the stairs was a little challenging.

Beautiful Home

We love the home and the property manager was so nice and accommodating. The biggest issue with the home was the parking. It was very inconvenient to drive others to park about 10-15 minutes away. Other then that it was great with plenty of room to host 16 women. The 4 levels in the house was great for dividing them up by personality.

Life is definitely better on Norris Lake!

From booking to check out communication with Tom was great. All questions answered. Waters Edge has a warm and welcoming feel. Decor is fitting for each room and common areas. I am a big kitchen person and it had everything we needed to cook and entertain. If it were my house I would definitely have smaller chairs around the table. We felt a little cramped when we sat together for dinner. All the rooms were comfortable and bathrooms were cozy with decent water pressure. Ceiling fan in Master needs a higher speed. The couch you could melt into. So comfy although we didn’t spend much time there. You could find us all day on the dock. With that said prepare to take all of your snacks and supplies for the lake down at one shot. It’s a hike with stairs….. this is anywhere you stay on the lake. For my parents the trip up and down was tough especially with no built in railing the last few steps to the dock. Otherwise we had an amazing stay. Boat rental is available which we took advantage of as well. Best part- we lost a diamond necklace which was returned by the cleaning crew and Tom reached out and is sending it back to us!! Outstanding hospitality!!

Great Family Vacation

We had such a great time! The home had everything you could think of! Tom was great! He was quick to respond when we had questions. I would highly recommend this place. We enjoyed eating together at the large table and playing cards/games each night. Having the kayaks was so much fun. The area was so peaceful! Plenty of room for our group...and we had some big boys with us!! I enjoyed walking and kayaking to the marina. We rented a pontoon one day and jumped off a bridge!! The fire pit and hot tub were great too! Thanks again Tom! You were wonderful to work with and your home was just right for us!!!

About the host

Hosted by Tom Sturm, owner and rental agent

Tom and Judy Sturm purchased Waters Edge in late July of 2020 - a welcome addition as our third property at Norris Lake, joining a great collection of managed lakefront homes and getaways. We live full time in Cincinnati, and like you - we find ourselves extremely busy with work, school, church and sports - but always ready for a getaway!

We absolutely love the time we spend on Norris Lake. Whether it's a week in the summer or an off season getaway; just a night gazing at the stars or an action packed lake day, every moment is a memory-maker. Not only do we love the lake life - we love sharing it with friends and family, guests and clients.

Tom also owns and manages Tennessee Home Finders LLC in La Follette Tn, a full service real estate brokerage specializing in lake homes, lots, new construction and vacation rental management. We'd love to help you make your Norris Lake dream come true, too!

Why they chose this property

While we have loved beach trips and traveling afar, Norris Lake is hardly a secret anymore - combining the best of lake fun, natural beauty, and lots to do on and off the water - conveniently only 4 hours away from Cincinnati. It is a place where family and friends have come together to unwind, relax together and have a ton of fun.

Hot tub is completely drained, cleaned and re-filled between rentals, chemicals and test strips to maintain

Ideal outdoor entertaining: upper level deck includes 2 wrought iron tables - dining table for 8 plus pub table for 5; middle level deck with a table for 6, and outdoor sofa and 2 comfy chairs around a wicker fire table set; picnic table for 6 on the dock, and a chair by the 6-person hot tub to keep an eye out if the kids are taking a turn.

Immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, most furniture, decor and fixtures brand new in 2020

6 kayaks ... for free!

Enjoy some reviews from our previous listing with VRBO:
"5/5
Relaxing Lake Vacation
We returned from our second stay at this property. We enjoyed the added extras since our first stay like the kayaks and new hot tub. The location of the property is fantastic with the covered boat slip in the no wake cove and near the Marina. Parking can be a little tricky with the way the houses are situated but that is just part of the location. Very good communication with the owner when we encountered a small issue. It was a great trip."

" 5/5
Weekend getaway
The cabin was very nice, plenty of room to spread out. Lots of steps to the lake but well worth it!!"

" 5/5
Well stocked
I have been renting lake houses at Norris for a about a decade and in terms of having a house stocked for guests this one was at the top of the list. Little things such as the kitchen staples, coffee, and even a first aid kit were really nice touches. The kitchen cooking utensils and cookware were also far above the average rental. The property has new owners and the fresh linens and towels were a treat."

What makes this property unique

Uniquely situated in a quiet cove behind Flat Hollow Marina on a gorgeous mile-deep cove, families enjoy swimming, floating and splashing around in the safety of a secluded, private dock across from the Chuck Swan Wildlife Preserve. Enjoy a walk to the marina, just a 1/2 mile away or stroll the roads, relax on the decks, sightsee on the water, fish from the shore, catch the sunrise or maybe a glimpse of the bald eagle family across the way!

Add in the thoughtful amenities provided by the owners for in-season and off-season enjoyment, like the free kayaks, fire pit and 20 campfire chairs, triple level decks, hot tub, updated renovations, outdoor wicker entertaining sofa and chairs around a gas fire table, and an indoor gas log fireplace ... we hope you'll find On Waters Edge on Norris Lake a come-back soon favorite among the best of your vacation memories.

The lake is a beautiful and fun-filled attraction from late spring through early fall. It stays warm enough to swim in even through most of October. I really love going to the lake house in the off-season, though. Our family loves to go in January and February for long lazy weekends sleeping in, playing games, watching movies, enjoying the fireplace and the fire pit outside, too, we have a wonderful time just hanging out together away from the rush of our daily lives.
