Awesome week, super property owners

This is the second year we stayed at this property. It was even better the second time. The house is in great shape, very clean and welcoming. The neighborhood is clean, safe and easy to get into (no stone or winding roads). The walk to the dock was easy, and the firepit was very nice. We had a great week.

Spectacular!

Everything about our stay was wonderful - the home was clean, spacious and the kitchen was well stocked with tools for all of your cooking needs! The dock was perfect and felt much more stable than the one at other home we rented nearby. There are several marinas close which was helpful for renting toys and gassing up! Pam was very easy to communicate with - overall we loved this house and will definitely rent here again if we ever return to Norris Lake!

Lake Life 2024

This is our third year and we have reservations for 2025! The house is well equipped, has an open floor plan on the main floor, accomodations for all 14 of us with ample room and well maintained. The lake just down the back stairs gives close proximity to water play. Smores in the fire pit and a boat dock for renting a boat completes our experience making it a fun trip for all, including our 4 legged friends. The location to 4 marinas and the jumping bridge add to our adventure. Thank you to the Elms for sharing their beautiful home!

Family Vacation

The Elms was the perfect house for our family vacation! With the number of bedrooms and 3 separate bathrooms, we all had our own space. The ice machine in the basement was an amazing perk to fill coolers up to take down to the dock for the day. The dock was perfect for having a rental boat and lounging on. We enjoyed using the paddle board and kayak as well.

Best of Norris Lake

Wonderful vacation home!

Everything about this property was great. The owner was wonderful at communicating, really quick responses, answered all our questions, even during our stay. Super hosts!! The home itself was very spacious, plenty of room for everyone, the bedrooms were all a good size and could fit our many pack n plays with ease! The kitchen was extremely well stocked (not that we cooked, I mean, we were on vacation!) We appreciated the kayak, paddle boards and water mat (bring your own adult life jackets). The close proximity to the community pool, playground and pickleball courts worked out well for our little ones. And the winery just a few minutes down the road worked out well for the adults!! It was easy to rent a boat (we used Shanghai Marina) and bring it back to the dock. If we are ever back in this area, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

Lakeside Family Retreat

Wonderful house on the lake! We rented a deck boat for 4 days that we were able to keep at the convenient dock, spent hours each day playing in the water off the dock and were able to enjoy indoors with a variety of spaces in the evenings or on the rainy day. It was perfect for our family of 13 as well as our four-legged family members. This is our second year and we have made reservations for the third, hence now hoping to keep the tradition rolling!

Amazing family reunion

We had our family reuion on the lake. We were all very comfortable in tehe house. We did bring a boat and used the dock. Every year we pick a state and rent a house for a week through homeaway. This house has been the best so far.

Peace and Tranquility

We rented this property as a Christmas gift to my husbands parents and siblings to have a family vacation. It was beyond expected. The house was clean, spacious and laid out perfectly. Prepare for stairs to get up and down to the water but worth every step! The floating dock is where spent our days floating on rafts and tubes, swimming and fishing. This is a dog friendly home and our girl Loved it too! Couldnt have expected a better first Lake vacation for our family.

Well equipped lakefront home

Beautiful, well-equipped lake front home. Great for a large group. Best equipped kitchen we’ve ever had. Close to the water. Large swimming dock. Loved the 19x6 Lily pad for the kids. House is very comfortable. Decks are great. Lots of space to read or play or swim separately or together. Great communicative hosts. Highly recommend.

Fun, Fun, Fun!

Our family of 14 stayed here for a week. There is so much room you never felt like there were that many of us in one place. They have a green floating mat that our 6 kiddos played on all day long. We are big skiers and tubers and we found plenty of smooth water to enjoy. The boat dock is very spacious, with 2 slips, plus a paddle board and kayak to use. The owners were amazing answering all our questions quickly. The ping pong table and games available are a nice addition. Great 1st time experience to Norris Lake.

Excellent vacation

The house is very large and has lots of space. The kitchen has lots of kitchenware to use. The kitchen tables are very large and can fit many people. Loved the ice machine, paddle board and Lilly pad. Also has a kayak. About 80 steps top to bottom. The basement has a bar which was very nice and a foosball and ping pong table. Dock is very nice and large. It is very wavy bc it gets lots of traffic. Close to 3 marinas and the jumping bridge. The firewood needed dried out more. It was very wet and wasn’t able to start a fire. There were plenty of beach towels so we didnt need to bring our own. Owners responded very quickly to any questions. Would definitely stay here again!!!!!!! Great experience.

What a Great Week

The property exceeded our expectations for sure. Our host was responsive throughout and made things easy. There was plenty of room for all. The kitchen is laid out so well, made meal prep and service easy and fun. The house was clean and inviting. The ice machine in the basement was a real plus. The walk to the dock was a lot of stairs, but safe and easy. The dock was nice, covered with plenty of room to sun bathe and swim. The neighborhood was really nice, easy access in and out. We saw deer everyday on and around the property. We saw a momma skunk and her six little ones. One evening we were visited by another skunk while sitting around the fire pit. It walked around the brick wall, stopped to help itself to two graham crackers and wonder off. We made some great memories.

Absolutely beautiful home

The place was very beautiful and we all dropped our jaws when we walked in. The bedroom set up was perfect for what we needed. For one night we had 13 people, ages 6 to 90 - we never felt crowded and everyone enjoyed their space. The kids enjoyed the ping pong table, TV and stereo system downstairs and the adults enjoyed all the space and decks upstairs. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, including a wine cooler and a crockpot. There is a deck off the Master with a spectacular view of the lake. The owners were awesome and responsive. They promptly answered all our questions and never made us feel like we were bothering them. Our trash was overflowing on the third to last day of our trip and Pam made arrangements for our trash to be picked up the next morning. The home is conveniently close to all our favorite marinas like Deerfield, Shanghai, Sugar Hollow and Springs, plus also close to the jumping bridge. The cove was a little busier than we expected, but we enjoyed watching the activity throughout the day. Lastly, the views of the lake from the home were breathtaking and we would recommend Sunset Shores to anyone.

Our family of 10 getaway

I would like to start out by saying this was a beautiful, spacious cabin. Here are a few things I wish I'd known from the pictures. There are 9 chairs around the fire pit and some also on the dock (we didn't need to bring any). There are 85 steps from the waters edge to the top, main floor deck (tough if your in your 60's like my husband and I). All the beds, except the one king were on the small side (very tight for 2, I would recommend they upgrade them to Queens...there is plenty of room). The water pressure was good and the main floor bathroom got used a lot (bring lots of toilet paper and paper towels). The kitchen is awesome. It has everything you could imagine for cooking and preparing meals. There was a huge electric skillet. huge crockpot, Keurig coffee maker plus a regular coffee pot and all the silverware, dishes and utensils (you might want to bring a few containers for left overs). In addition to the pingpong table there is a foosball table, cornhole boards and the most incredible thing was the full bar area downstairs with a bar style ice machine (no ice runs to the store for the coolers)....kids loved the bottom floor area. We had 2 small dogs with us and there was adequate area on the main floor level for them to go outside. We had a lot of wonderful shared meals and game nights (Bring some of your favorites....They don't have any that we saw). We rented a boat for 2 days and I would recommend it (be careful for the sunburns, we had a few) Good Times!

Perfect Lakefront Family Vacation. Great Owners with great communication and great service.

Beautifully renovated. My family and I stayed here with our extended family. We had 6 adults, 4 children and 2 dogs. Plenty of room with great amenities. Stiga ping pong table. 2 big screen flat panel tvs with Directv and one with a blu-ray/dvd. 2 refrigerators. Washer/Dryer. Great trees just off the path down to the dock for 2 hammocks (bring some). The owners were responsive to our every need. Easy walk down to the dual bay boat dock with electric and lighting. One bay has a boat lift. Great little swimming area with ladder just off the dock. Beautiful views. Fun fishing right from your chair. Multilevel decks up at the house. Newly renovated master suite with "rain" style dual shower heads. Spotless. Wood burning stove on main level and fireplace on lower level. Beautiful lodge-like interior with open floor plan. Impressed by the kitchen appliances and the stocked cooking utensils. Awesome Weber Genesis grill that is like new and very clean for outside grilling. The location is perfect. 5 minute boat ride to Shanghai Resort (gas, great food and fun shop). 5 minute boat ride to Sugar Hollow (great music and atmosphere at night with a fun bar). 10 minute drive and 10 minute boat ride to/from Deerfield marina with easy ramp to put in and drive boat over to house dock. We even opted to leave our trailer at Deerfield for ease. (The driveway had plenty of room for multiple cars and we could have kept the trailer there too). 15 minute boat ride to Springs Dock Resort for the best price on boat gas, tasty burgers and the only marina with soft serve ice cream. About 25 minute boat ride to Flat Hollow Marina. The lake is beautiful and pristine with green clear water. Fun coves. Great experience at Sunset Shores. We did not want to leave! The kids asked if we can come back here every year and my wife wanted to see if we could have extended for another week. It is that good! Do not hesitate to book this great house! Thanks to Doug and Pam for sharing their wonderful home! One of our best family vacations ever--no exaggeration! -The Bradys
