Norris Lake 2025
We come down to Norris Lake every year and stay at different rentals each time to get a better feel for the area. We started our search process back in January and chose this property over 5 others because we thought it would be a good fit. We were very disappointed upon our arrival with the condition of the house and for the amount of money we spent (this property was the most expensive out of the 5 we vetted). When we parked in the driveway we found pieces of the stone retaining wall all over the pavement. The inside had dust bunnies in every corner and coffee grounds left in the coffee maker. Door handles were missing from bedroom doors and the toilets did not properly flush. The basement flooring was uneven and we kept stubbing our toes while walking on it. There was no easy way to get down to the dock because there was no clear path from the house. Several of us slid and tripped on the rocks leading to the dock. Young kids and elderly would have a very difficult time accessing the dock. The railings on the dock were broken and all rubber trim was coming loose causing damage to our boat when tied up. Both the fridge and the A/C went out during our stay in 90 degree heat. We found food in the fridge from July of 2024 when we had to relocate all of our food items from the broken fridge to coolers filled with ice. Norris Lake is beautiful and we will be back but renting from a different property.
