Family Thanksgiving

This was the perfect 'home away from home' setting for family members coming from several states around the country. Two kitchens stocked with every cooking and baking tool possibly needed, plenty of seating space to eat together, and a great layout to have adequate quiet time or family time.

This is the second time we've stayed at this home; 4th year in a row on Norris Lake. We couldn't be happier with the accommodations, location, or Krista and Craig!! The photos don't do the property justice!! I'd pack up and move here if my wife and kids would allow it!! Thanks much to the Conards for another fantastic time!!

Family friendly, beautiful, spacious lakeside stay

We had a party of 18, 11 of them being children. We had plenty of room to hang out and sleep. The dock was beautiful both morning and daytime and the kayak usage was greatly appreciated. The kitchens are stocked and well equipped to fix any meal. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend this cabin to anyone with a large party.

We had an amazing time!

The cabin was absolutely beautiful and just as described. Our large extended family, ranging in age from 3-80, had a great time being together. The owner made sure everything was ok and the property manager ensured everything was in working order. Nephews wanted the Xbox fixed and she sent someone to fix it even though the parents said it wasn’t necessary. I highly recommend this property.

Amazing

Having visited Norris Lake once before, we had an idea of what we were looking for on our next trip. This house fit the bill for 23 family members to enjoy the sun and lake for a week. Lots of bedrooms/bathrooms, and the kitchens were very well appointed with all that you need. The dock with the raised deck was great fun for all. Boating is a short troll in the no wake zone out to the main lake. We are looking forward to booking again!

Amazing Property & Great Experience!

I can't say enough good things about this rental. The house is perfect for all sizes of groups. Having the private dock with water slide, deck, and access to two kayaks made for an easy adventure on the water. The location close to the nearby marina made jet ski and boat rentals super easy, too. The owner and house manager were excellent and any inquiries were immediately responded to. The house was also extremely well stocked with kitchen needs, games, DVDs, etc. Nothing was overlooked. Would definitely stay here again!

Beach or Lake?

After 30 years of beach vacations in S Carolina we did a family reunion in a place very different. The house location, facility, especially the two-tier boat jetty and deck, assured forgetfulness of sand and sea. A wonderful time was had by all generations. Communications with Krista our host were excellent. There have already been some conversations by some about a return some time. Grateful for a very successful week.

3rd Annual Family Outing, First time at Great Escape

Easy to rent, fantastic communication. Arrived day following LaFolette flooding and mudslides and Krista contacted us early on the arrival day to keep us up to date. Great space for our 3 kids and 4 grandkids. Very welcoming, well stocked, safe, enough parking. First time we could actually use the outside porches and not be rained on or eaten by bugs! Neighbors somewhat close, and Never heard their outside noise. Boat was delivered and picked up by Oasis, highly recommend them as well!! No issues on anything, oh yes we were told the hot tub cover was broken and it was fixed during stay, first time we had a hot tub, and it was wonderful! Grandkids LOVED the slide!! Wonderful home, definitely recommend to all. Thank you for helping our family continue to make family memories!

Getaway by Lake Norris

Beautiful lake and forested areas, nice hikes in nearby state parks. Nearby marina is convenient for pontoon boat rentals, and the house is maybe 1,000 feet from the "jumping bridge". We appreciated the two kayaks, the boathouse with slide, the hot tub, the kitchen amenities, and the mild breezes along the lake at most times. And the internet signal was better than we expected. The two kitchens were nice and were able to fit everyone at the upper level island and dining table for dinner each day. Bedrooms were good sizes and reasonably well furnished. That said, the lake is quite narrow by the house and we had to be on the lookout with motorboats and jet skis coming by every minute or two all day (plus once at 3 a.m. with music blaring). We hadn't realized, until we got there, that there were other properties on either side with no yards on any sides - was certainly not clear from the listing - but there was room to set up our cornhole boards in the parking area. The wasps on the balconies caused us to shut the doors quickly and we still got a few stings. The community pool is very small, not really much of an alternative to the lake, and the water in it was green. Morning hikes through the neighborhood were a serious workout due to steepness of the roads - quite challenging and gave a feeling of accomplishment. It took a day nor two to get used to the house's stairs, both interior and exterior, as they are very steep - use the railings. As for nearby La Follette, there's not much happening. But it was our annual family vacation and it was great to all be together - really no need to be entertained by anything beyond the landscape and each other.

About the host

Hosted by Craig & Krista Conard

Host profile image
We have enjoyed Norris Lake with our family and friends for many, many years. We decided to purchase a home so that we could enjoy even more time at the lake, and more time with family. Whether we're relaxing on the dock watching the kids play, or enjoying a hard ski or tube ride, it's always a fun time at Norris.

Why they chose this property

LaFollette was our choice for the easy-to-drive roads and the convenience to grocery and retail stores and marinas. We also like the private ramp that Lakeside Estates offers, and the large, quiet cove and year-round water.

What makes this property unique

The Great Escape has plenty of room for multiple families, with 9 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 2 full kitchens, 2 dining areas, and 3 decks with plenty of seating. The kids can also enjoy the game room while the adults enjoy the hot tub. It's a short walk down to the lake - and the 2-story dock provides plenty of room with parking for 3 boats, and a top story seating area with tables and chairs. The kids will also enjoy the slide!

Our home is well maintained, in a prime area close to the jumping bridge and ski zone, with a large, private clean cove. The perfect spot for your family vacation.
