Relaxing Stay

We all enjoyed the week at Norris Lake in this property. A quieter part of the lake, made it more comfortable Large house, with two amazing (large) porches and a two-boat, two-story dock made a great lake experience. Renters were easy to access and very helpful as well.

Perfect house for families and friends of all ages!

Barefoot Landing accommodated both the young and the old very well. The extra large double sided refrigerator, chest freezer, commercial ice-maker, Blaze grill, and gas stove with a large griddle made cooking fun! The kitchen also had one of the largest islands I have ever seen! One of the best features of this house was the dock and boathouse. It was easy to fish standing on the back of the dock, and the front of the dock with the ladder was fabulous for those who were into diving and swimming. There were a few more steps than we anticipated, but it was all doable. We had a wakeboard boat and a pontoon, and they weathered the occasional storm without a problem. The upper deck was wonderful for sunbathing and hanging out. The shuffleboard and the hot tub were a hit with everyone. Sleeping spaces were spacious, and all of the regular beds were very comfortable. The children even commented how comfortable the bunkroom was! The mattresses on the bed and the trundle bed in the apartment over the garage were not quite as comfortable, but that was private and a great getaway. The game room/garage needs updating -the pool table is badly dinged and the ping-pong table and basketball game are broken and unusable. The foosball game was the only game that was truly usable in that area. Barefoot Landing is THE place to rent if you have multiple families or varying ages of people. I would certainly return to this property!

Early May Lake Trip

My friends and I spent three nights at Barefoot Landing and had a great time. Communication throughout the booking process and stay was easy and effective. Barefoot Landing has a stunning view of the lake from nearly all parts of the property. We most enjoyed the kitchen, deck and dock along with the multiple areas for evening outdoor fires. Our only thoughts of improvement include stocking the house with essential supplies, updating some of the game room items and checking for functionality of the amenities prior to move in. The hot tub was unfortunately down a pump and out of commission for the weekend, though Brian was quick to address our questions and issues. I would certainly recommend this property to friends or families looking for a quiet cove to enjoy.

Unforgettable Family Getaway at Barefoot Landing

Our large family decided to ring in the New Year at Barefoot Landing, a VRBO rental. Despite being tucked away in a tranquil place with limited cell service, Wi-Fi is available and the property's amenities more than made up for it. The heart of our celebration was undoubtedly the kitchen. It was a cook's paradise, fully stocked and ready for our family’s food enthusiasts to whip up holiday meals. The joy of cooking together brought us closer, transforming meal prep into a cherished bonding activity. The living spaces were cozy, with fireplaces that added a warm touch to our holiday gathering. They became our favorite spots for sharing stories and playing games. Meanwhile, the game rooms, packed with options for all ages, were a big hit with everyone. Despite the lack of cell signal, the charm of Barefoot Landing lies in its perfect blend of tranquillity and adventure. It created a memorable backdrop for our family's New Year's celebration, making it an experience we'll never forget.

Thanksgiving Family Reunion and 50th Anniversary

We had 3 generations staying at Barefoot Landing. The home was beautiful, comfortable, and clean, the beds and linens were comfortable, and they really do have enough dinner service for 30+ people! It was a great space to have our family Thanksgiving reunion, celebrating our parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Thanks, Brian and Andrea.

Great Adult Sibling Fall Weekend

This was our second year at barefoot Landing. We have a large group of siblings and their spouses.(13) The kitchen is huge and well, equipped for staying in and cooking. The view of the lake is beautiful, and we enjoyed sitting on the top deck of the dock in the afternoon sunshine, as well as building a fire in the evening. There are three fireplaces to enjoy, lots of large tables to sit together and play games as well as a game room in the garage, and other ways to entertain and have friendly competition. Everything is top-notch, except for maybe the mattresses, but for a couple of nights, they are fine.

August Reunion

Our family loved our week-long stay at Barefoot Landing. The location is perfect, on the lake, and the house beautiful, lacking nothing you need. High chair and pack and play for the baby, games and multiple fire pits inside and outside, huge bonus of outdoor commercial fan near outdoor dining on the deck, commercial ice makers were really helpful, private dock with night lights and power is set up perfectly for eating, swimming, fishing and boating. Loved the huge tables so our family could all sit together for eating and games. We spent most of our time outside on the multiple decks and outdoor spaces enjoying the views and each other. Kitchen is great for cooking for large groups along with the gas grill on the screened in porch. Beautiful place and we made some wonderful memories here! Look for the Buffalo or beefalo on the road going to the house.

Barefoot Landing

We had a group of 22 cousins from 9 months to 84 years old sharing this great rental for a week. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a variety of meals, the bedrooms were comfortable (the bunk room was cozy small for 7, age 30ish adults), bathrooms were spread all over and the small suite over the garage worked well for a family of 6. Water was great fun and the dock and deck were used all day long. Owners lived adjacent to the rental, but we had everything we needed and no issues to get help with. The steps from the house to the water were numerous, but most of us went up and down as needed. Great house, great stay, great fun.

I can't say enough about this property. Andrea and Brian did it right with this place. Whether it was relaxing on the spacious decks or lounging in the back room with fire pit, there was plenty of room for all to hang out and have fun. The kitchen was my favorite and we congregated there the most. Absolutely beautiful and plenty of room. We have been coming for 7 years and this was by far our favorite place. Plan to come back! Thank you Andrea and Brian for opening up your beautiful home to us. We made a lot of memories here!

Excellent Family Reunion Stay!

Everything was amazing about this place! We thoroughly enjoyed our week with 30+ people(a wide range of adults and kids). Being right on the lake was awesome. The kitchen had tons of stuff, anything we needed. Very clean. The only drawbacks were the lack of cell reception and very limited internet. Also, it wasn’t clear from the listing that one of the sleeping areas was actually not private - it was an open area and not a private bedroom, outside of a separate bedroom near the second kitchen. Otherwise, very happy with the stay!

This an awesome place to host family gatherings. There is plenty of room to accommodate groups of families. Most of the bedrooms had their own bathroom. The dock was really nice and the walkway to the dock is manageable. The view of the lake is stunning. The kitchen was incredible and fully stocked. The Wi-Fi in the house was adequate.
