This house was absolutely perfect for our family vacation. The location was beautiful and our hosts were attentive to our needs and got back to me right away with any questions I had. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a fun vacation.
Property is just as it looks in pictures and exceeded our expectations. Location is fantastic as it is located near jumping bridge but in a cove where you don't have to worry about boats flying by while you're in the water. The host was absolutely fantastic. We had issues with our boat and she went above and beyond trying to help us have the best trip by suggesting rentals and things to do without a boat. Would love to go back again!
Krista was a great host! She allowed early check in and late check out which was so helpful to our large group! She was easy to get ahold of the whole weekend and helped with questions. Will definitely attempt to rebook next year for our trip.
We had a wonderful week with our family. We had plenty of room and the house was stocked with everything we needed. The communication was exceptional. The week was all that we hoped for and more!
Second time at this property and it was perfect again! Love staying back in this neighborhood. House was in great shape and owner was very accommodating!
We had a great weekend at Great Escape. The house is fantastic and convenient to get to the grocery store. The hosts are great and check in/out was very easy. Highly recommend and will certainly be coming back. Thanks!!
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.

Amazing vacation
This was our first time to Norris with a large group. Great Escape was perfect for us. It is a large, beautiful home with two kitchens. It had plenty of room to spread out!
The 2 kitchens and plenty of cookware including a griddle was great for large parties. Place was very clean. A paddle was missing for the the kayaks but everything else seemed to be in order.
Tons of space for everyone to have their own bedrooms & spread out. Kitchen(s) stocked with everything you would need. Loved being able to all be in one place and enjoy each other. Excellent communicaton with property owner. Accomodated our early check-in request so the little ones could nap

Family vacation
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.

Big house with nice amenities
Location was amazing. Close to town and Food Lion grocery store. Some steep hills in and out of the neighborhood, including launch ramp. Clean with immediate customer service via text and email.
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.
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!
