Stayed Nov 26, 2025We had four families together for the Thanksgiving holiday and we loved every bit of our stay at the lake house. We were a bit surprised at how steep the driveway was from the road however we were able to navigate that safely and some of us just left vehicles up at the top of the hill and walked down. With eight adults and 7 teenagers, we had plenty of room to spread out, plenty of bedding, and hang out area for everyone. The views are great and the hot tub was a plus for chilly nights. There was plenty of kitchen items for our Thanksgiving meal.The host was responsive and easy to communicate with. We would love to return.

Stayed Jun 28, 2025The property was phenomenal. The only inconvenience we had was the walk down to the lake and the walk back up to the house. We are both seniors over 75 so whenever we went down or up one of our 3 sons or 2 grandsons had to walk with us in case we lost our balance. That was a minor inconvenience only and it did not prevent us from doing anything. It was as great a time as our family had on any of our trips and the host was as kind and informative as he could be.

Stayed Jul 12, 2025This was our second year staying at Blue Grotto with a group of 19 ranging in age from 3-72. The property is set up perfectly for multiple families with the 4 master bedrooms. The owners are very committed to providing a high quality house and rental experience. We were pleasantly surprised to see all of the upgrades they made since last year including new carpet, window treatments and sleeper sofas. There are a lot of small details throughout the property that make it a great fit - a standalone ice maker, two fridges, two dishwashers, tons of trash cans, frequent trash pickup, and two washers and dryers to name a few. The house has a great layout for a large group and the multiple covered patios are ideal. The dock is perfect and the location of the house in a peaceful cove with close proximity to Shanghai marina was perfect. We spent lots of time tubing, wake boarding and floating at the end of the dock. Like most houses at Norris, the walk down to the lake is a workout but this property has done as good as they can to make this work well between the steps and sloped walkway. Highly recommend this property!

Stayed Nov 24, 2024Overall the blue grotto was an amazing place for our family to gather! Everyone enjoyed the house, age 6 months to 70 years old.- The kitchen is a workhorse! Feeding our large family with multiple cooks round the clock was made easy by this well equipped kitchen. We especially loved the two dishwashers, ice machine, - As most reviews stated - the driveway is VERY steep. I would not feel comfortable driving this with rain or snow- The Hottub was green and had floating algae when we arrived. Property manager was very responsive, came over to shock the hot tub and left an additional shock. Ultimately it should have been drained and cleaned IMO. Even after the shock the water was green and cloudy and piece of algae floating around

Stayed Jul 13, 2024The house was beautiful. Lots of room for all 20 of us. The best house we’ve stayed in at Norris Lake. This was our fourth time. Views from deck were gorgeous. We spent most of our time on deck eating or playing games when we weren’t enjoying the water. s. Thought we were getting away from all the steps and would enjoy yard games but too steep. The driveway is also very steep and really can have only 5 cars as stated. As always a beautiful week with my family. Thank you to owners!!
