Thank you so much, Tasha, for a wonderful stay! The place was clean and well stocked with all the necessities. The outdoor space was definitely our favorite. Plenty of seating and outdoor grill with a beautiful view of the lake. Stardust Marina is in walking distance which is where we rented a pontoon boat for a day. We will definitely book with Tasha again!

Fantastic outdoor space

This is a fantastic place to stay for boating/fishing enthusiasts. Awesome outdoor living space. Really nice to boat all day and then dock your boat right at your house. Stardust Marina right outside your door. A bit of confusion about number of covered slips available with rental, but we were able to dock the boats along side the outdoor patios, so not a deal breaker.

Amazing Stay

We have been going to the lake every summer for a few years now and this was one of our favorite places that we stayed! The location was great and the place was very nice. Our favorite part was the outdoor patio overlooking the water. There was plenty of seating for everyone to enjoy time together. Highly recommend booking!

Great house! Very clean - lots of towels which was nice. Air conditioner was loud when sitting outside, but lots of room outside to enjoy the lake views. Covered slip was also very nice for the boat.

Perfect space especially if you have a boat .

Perfect place to stay specially, if you have a boat, you can bring it to the slip that is three steps from your front door. The space was nicely decorated very clean. Everything you need for a great day.

Norris Lake Floating House

We were there for the last aummer trip and it was lovely! The house was clean and just like it was described. We were able to park my boat, enjoy some fishing and gorgeous views. The only thing I would suggest is a broom so we could clean after cooking.

This place was perfect! Very clean and well stocked with necessities. Close to civilization, but the wi-fi was decent enough on the water to communicate. Fun activities and a marina within a stones throw. Great communication as well - highly recommend. Great value!

This is the second time that I have booked and stayed! Both times, absolutely amazing and so peaceful! The floating house is beautifully decorated and family friendly. We love sitting on the sides of the house and enjoying the lake views. We are looking forward to booking again for our future family trips!

If I Could Give it More Stars I Would!

We’ve been coming to Norris for many years and stayed in multiple rental properties, this is by far our favorite. From the drive to the ease of the launch to the amazingness of just coming home at the end of the day and being home with no stairs or golf cart rides to deal with, this place is perfection. Central on the lake and being by stardust makes it easy to just show up if you don’t want to do any cooking. You will not regret staying here. We cannot wait to come back!!!

Perfect lakefront getaway!

We spent a wonderful weekend at this adorable property enjoying the location and all the amenities this home offers. Cute decorations, a well stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, plenty of towels, a spacious bathroom all contributed to our great stay. We loved sitting outside on the covered porch, gathering in the kitchen, and being steps from our boat to get out and explore the beautiful area. Our group included 2 families of 7 total- 4 adults and 3 teenagers. All communications with the owner were prompt and thorough. We loved the location at Stardust marina, convenient boat dock and amenities, and a great location along the River.

Floating house on Lake Norris

Family stayed here during our vacation where several families were at different houses around Lake Norris. The floating house was a different experience and being adjacent to Stardust Marina was convenient. The house is super cute and the marine toilet and shower were an easy adjustment (water is filtered for showering and laundry, but you will need to bring your own drinking water.). Loved the big porch and the nice wide boat slip. The owner was great to work with and I think that more than one family will want to stay in this cute cottage on our next family reunion trip to Lake Norris.
