Great place!
This property is wonderful! The house is large. We had 17 and never felt crowded. The beds are comfy. The kids loved the bunk room. The deck is large and had enough seating for all of us. Loved the Blackstone! Sadly, the icemaker in the fridge couldn't keep up so we had to buy ice frequently. Also the water line seems to dispense hot water.The waterway is pretty busy and created a lot of wake that the kids loved, but it was kind of rough on our little boat.All in all we'd stay here again. Very close to Shanghai resort and the jumping bridge. The roads are very windy getting to the house, which is typical for this area. The walk down to the dock wasn't horrible (great calf workout coming back up!). Sad to have to leave.

Wonderful House
Fabulous property. We had 11ppl and it was plenty of house and bathrooms. Pool table was a big hit. We had a great time. Only slight downside is that the dock is on a main part of the lake and it gets very wavy on the weekends. Make sure you have strong ropes for your boat.

Great Stay in Deerfield
The stay was great with my teenagers and some extended family. House had a great layout for our group, plenty of room to spread out as needed, with 2 living rooms, a lot of outdoor space, etc. House was clean and kitchen well appointed… could use a few more steak knives but that’s being picky. As others have stated, the dock was on a very busy part of the lake so expect some waves on busy days. Makes it hard to dock a boat, but doable, eventually. We had some older folks with us that were not able to do the path/stairs to the dock. Steep and no railing by the stairs. Younger folks will be fine but it’s worth noting. We drove to Deerfield marina to allow our older folks to take some boat roads (easier access). Trent was always responsive with questions and we never had any issues. Be careful with the outdoor garbage bin. Despite rocks blocking the doors, big black birds got in there twice and we had to clean up the garbage. We put even more rocks after the second time. Birds are strong, who knew? Nice comfortable bedding and everyone slept well. A few extra blankets would be good as some of our people got cold at night with the thinner comforters. The instructions clearly state this, but bring your own bath towels! Otherwise, there were starter items as typically provided. Plenty of hand soap, shampoo, body wash and paper towels for the week in our case. Dish towels were provided. Would stay here again in the future. Thanks Trent!

Beautiful house with lots of room
We had a great time and the house was beautiful. We enjoyed so much needed family time. It was clean and we love where located. There is plenty of room park your boat trailer house has a very nice dock and huge hot tub. Kitchen was well stocked, and the beds are comfortable. Our only complaint is there are zero bathroom towels and I did not see that listed. I also never received check out instructions.

Our family had a wonderful week at Hemingway Point. Well stocked kitchen, property is as described. Comfortable beds, great layout and we lived the large dining table. Only downside was the rough waters down at the dock, no fault of the owners just a busy part of the lake.

Great House Poor Communication
The house was great although could use a deep clean. Several questions to property owner left unanswered including “where are flashlight or candles” during power outages - first lasted 5 hours second was at night so likely 4-5 hours. Batteries to fire alarms went off during power outage indicating no back up. Owner can’t help outage during storm - I get it. But could’ve used some sympathy and responsiveness.

Family vacation
We loved our stay here at Norris Lake! Beds for everyone and the huge dining room table had enough seats for the whole family, which we’ve never gotten to do before! Many of the properties around had tons of stairs to get down to the water, this property has a slope with few stairs at the bottom. Overall it was easily accessible for everyone except our 86 year old Grandma, who did have trouble with the slope as it was steep at points. With some help she was able to make it down the hill to the dock and the water, but something to keep in mind that we didn’t necessarily anticipate. The kids loved the hammock chairs and the bunk room! Two fridges for all the fam needed for the week and good parking space in front of the house. Having the dock attached to the property was wonderful, we took our boat out multiple times every day! Thank you for a great stay!

Second time at this property. Great location close to Shanghai. Great week. House is well stocked with all the dinnerware you need. Gas grill is great for cooking for large groups. House is very nice. Dock gets a little choppy when it is busy but it is expected in that spot. Close to the golf course is nice also.

Beautiful area!!
House suited our needs very well, we had 10 people ranging from 3-70yr. Bedrooms were spread apart on each side of the house to help alleviate noise. Huge family room areas, kitchen extremely well equipped. Internet and streaming, very spotty. In fact, my gps took me to wrong house and I couldn’t get ahold of Trent(not his fault) to figure out what the problem was. Deck was very nice outside looking over lake. Absolutely gorgeous view. Kids loved the hot tub(which needed more water) and the hammock swings. The drive up to Norris Lake is quite an event. If you get car sick at all, take Dramamine! Narrow, hilly, winding roads. House was marginally clean, had a few minor issues. Would have been nice to have a railing on the way to the dock as steps were very steep. And didn’t play pool because of only 1 cue stick. Our biggest issue was the trash. With 10 people eating and drinking for a week, we had tons of trash. It was never picked up in the bin in front of the house and we had it packed in there. We found no recycling , which would have alleviated a lot of the trash problem. Maybe suggest that to the home owners association? Unless we missed something. All in all, it was wonderful!

Location was great (3 min boatride to Shanghai Marina where we rented our boat). There was a lillypad at the dock that the kids really enjoyed. And we all loved relaxing in the hammock chairs.

Yearly family vacation
We have been coming to Norris Lake for over 30 years with our families. We love it at the lake. This home was one of the best layouts for our family. The kitchen was well stocked and we loved the large dining table. The only issue we had, was being on the point, there was a lot of boat traffic. Our docked boat got jostled around a lot and it was hard to swim or float off the dock. The house could use some spring cleaning, kitchen cabinets, window ledges, blinds, cold air ducts and the the outside deck table’s hadn’t been wiped off for a long time.
