We had a great stay at The Nest. Our group of 13 ranging from ages 10 to 51 had plenty of room. This was the 4th house we have rented on Norris, and is the 1st one we all agreed we would definitely stay at again. The owner is very accommodating and quick to respond to any questions or concerns. The no wake zone was wonderful for swimming and hanging out in the water. The WIFI worked great for our phones to stream music to our speaker on the dock. I would highly recommend this property!

Lake Bum's Paradise

Excellent on all levels. The level of attention from booking, to check-in, checking up throughout our stay and check out was top notch! The home is gorgeous and has all the amenities you will need for a great stay. Lots of games for entertaining and our kids loved the new slide added to the dock. Kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed to cook a feast. Extra bonus was complimentary K-Cups This has been our most favorite house we have ever stayed in, the cleanliness made us feel right at home and comfortable. When we visit Norris again, we will definitely be booking The Nest!

Great Stay

Went to the nest for a half week and had a great stay. House is nicely equipped, and when it was a little warm overnight, the owner adjusted the thermostats remotely and it was great all weekend. The dock was a lot of fun and the no wake zone made it even better!

Great vacation!

This property was fantastic! It was clean and in the best location in my opinion. Being able to swim off the dock in a no wale zone was the best! And the Owners were amazing!

Wonderful family vacation

We stayed here 4 nights, everyone in our extended family had a great time! We have kids that ranged from 17 to 9 months. The layout of the house was great, when the younger kids needed to go to bed, the rest of the family could still be up and social without worrying about waking anyone up. The location is perfect! The “no wake zone” in front of the house is awesome. We all spent so much time in the water, the slide was hit and the kayaks were fun to explore in. Kieth was very responsive to all questions we had before and during our trip.

Best place on the lake!

The house was super clean and well appointed. Kitchen had everything we needed from pots, pans to spices. The extra fridge helped keep plenty of beverages cold.2 families (8 total) had plenty of room. We really enjoyed the tabletop shuffleboard, corn hole, dock, slide, and kayaks! The best part was the location on lake - had a wide open view from the dock but deeply situated within a no wake zone. Best of both worlds:)Owner was helpful, responsive and kind. Thank you for a great stay and we’ll see your place again next June:)

Would definitely stay again!!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this property. It was very clean, well taken care of, had all the things you would need at your “home away from home”, and the owners were very responsive and checked on us from time to time to see if we needed anything. We enjoyed swimming and fishing from the dock. I highly recommend and will keep in mind for future stays.

We absolutely love staying at this lake house! The views from the house and dock are gorgeous! The location is a close boat ride to Shanghai, Sequoya and Stardust Marinas.
