Everything was as advertised, host was responsive, and we had a great time. It was really nice not having to walk down a ton of stairs to get to the dock like other houses. Would stay again. ##### Brian B.

The cottage was perfect for us. The dock is perfect and the area was quiet. The cottage was comfortable and had all of the necessary amenities. The ice maker was an added bonus! Listen to the directions and do not try and take a boat to the house. It's easiest to launch it at the public boat launch which is close to the house by car and water (maybe about 12 min by car and about the same or a tad less by boat). ##### Jennifer S.

Cottage has been totally remodeled and everything was new. Kitchen well stocked (no dishwasher but that was no big deal). Beds were comfortable and the decks were nice. Small slope down to the lake which was great. The dock was all new with a slide. Loved the location close to Twin Cove Marina. We put our boat in at Ray Wilson public ramp which was close and easy to use. Owners were great to work with. Would definitely stay here again. ##### Rhonda ### 8/10 Good #### Sharon F. 26 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice lake vacation This home is great for a lake vacation. It’s located at the end of a narrow drive but does have a boat dock for your own boat. Easy to launch at a nearby marina. Swimming right off the dock for the kids was a highlight. The water is deep, a slide is also on the dock. We did bring lounge chairs. There is a picnic table on the dock. Multiple level home with steps to upstairs and downstairs. Air cooling system worked great. Rent a boat nearby if you don’t have one to bring. We had kids ages 3-13 and they all loved jumping into the water. Very clean home. Well stocked kitchen. Could use more paper products (TP, Kleenex, garbage bags,). We did have to buy that for our group of 11. Beds ok but could use nicer pillows. Maybe a few more blankets. I would definitely stay here again though. We had prompt answers from owner when we sent messages. We did find it nice to have a commercial ice machine in the basement to fill coolers. Had an issue with the grill but they sent someone promptly to take care of it the very next morning. ##### Sharon F.

There are 3 levels with 3 bedrooms, a loft with beds and 2 common areas. It also had a porch and covered area underneath. A gas grill and firepit. Fully stocked kitchen (no d/w). And great views of the lake. Large dock to swim off of or fish. And a place to keep ur boat (covered). Easy check in and out and great communication. Close to interstate exit, food options and close to twin cove Marina. Would stay here again for sure! ##### Chris H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary 25 Jul 2022 #### Illinois family visit to Norris Lake We just returned from our stay at this cute cottage. It was clean, well appointed and looked just like the pictures. We were very close to Twin Cove marina and rented a pontoon boat from there for the day. We had a lot of fun floating in the water and going down the slide. It was a convenient trip into town for all of our needs. We even traveled by car one day to check out some of the other marinas in the area. We will definitely be back. ##### Mary ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Dollywood's DreamMore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pigeon-Forge-Hotels-Dollywoods-DreamMore-Resort.h10003236.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Glenstone Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gatlinburg-Hotels-Glenstone-Lodge.h25627.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
