Norris Lake The Lure-Perfect Lakehouse for Families in Spacious, Deep-water Cove

This place was very nice for a large extended family of 13 people. There were plenty of rooms and plenty of beds. The kitchen had plenty of things to use, the hot tub was nice, and there was a kayak at the dock for us to use. The location on the lake was quiet and nice for swimming and fishing, and not far from several of the marinas for boat renting. The host provided plenty of information about the surrounding area, and check in was very easy.Few things to note that were so-so, but didn't really hinder the experience. Some of the stairs down to the dock were a little janky, so be careful. Cleanliness of the lower level was a little questionable, but we also understand this is a lake house so it's not a big deal. There was a broken chair in the living room just sitting there waiting for someone to sit on it and break further; it definitely shouldn't be there anymore. The appliances in the kitchen worked not so well all the time: stove was colder than displaying (so turn it up higher) and the toaster only heated on one side. And there are plenty of bathrooms but be aware several of them are attached to bedrooms themselves and not in a common area so your family will need to be cognizant of this.Overall, the place was great, and these little gotchas didn't hamper our overall enjoyment. We had a great time, and would recommend this to any large families looking for a wonderful place to stay together.

Cute home with a nice layout. Has everything you need for a vacation stay at Norris with plenty of parking for cars and trailers. Proximity to grocery and marinas is great. The owner was very helpful and quick to respond to questions. The dock and lower stairs (missing handrail and narrow treads) to the water could really use a rebuild/refresh but there was plenty of space for the 3 watercraft we brought.

The outside is nice but looks small. Open up to beautiful open floor plan . It is perfect for families. The sleeping areas provide so much space. The home is updated and very clean. Annie, the owner , responsive and very helpful. The cove is perfect.

Great property. Rough dock and stairs going to it but most of them are at Norris

We love the house arrangement. If fits our family of 14. We also love the location on the lake - it is not real busy with boats. The owner is very easy to work with.This was our third stay at The Lure - is there anything else to say?

We love Norris Lake and this house was perfect for my family and in-laws! Being on a cove made it quiet and peaceful and great for swimming off of the dock. Compared to many houses on the lake, this house does not have as many stairs but they could use some upgrading for safety purposes. House had everything we needed and the ping pong table was a bonus for the kids. Communication with Amie was great too.

Great house. Great location on the lake. Perfect spot to relax in the cove but still close enough to several marinas and lake action.

We had a wonderful experience at this property. There were ten of us from three families with four kids under twelve. Bedrooms on three levels basically gave each their own floor. Very close to Powell Valley Marina which was convenient. Our host Amie was very responsive with the few things we had questions on. Would highly recommend this property and if we ever go back to Norris Lake we’ll look for this property first.

Well equipped kitchen; communication with host excellentPlenty of places to sleep; great laundry facilitiesDock was quite slippery and there were rough places where the concrete met the dock.Otherwise, great place to stay

First impressions. The driveway was level with the house (no scary steep drive) and the space across the street was more than big enough for the van and boat trailer. Walking in the door, the pictures didn’t do it justice. The space was bigger than expected, including all the bedrooms and bathrooms.Kitchen was fully equipped, more than adequate for our needs. Gas grill with a full tank that we used quite a bit. Appreciated the nice washer and dryers. Kids loved the ping pong table.Launching the boat was easy, free, and convenient as it was right down the street. The covered boat dock was just fifty steps down from the house. Since we had some rain it was nice for the boat to be under cover. The cove was quiet and no wake. There were several marinas within 10-20 minutes to get gas or have a drink and a meal. The staff at Powell were super nice.We all agreed we had a great family vacation and would like to come back here again.

We greatly enjoyed our stay! The location to the main lake is wonderful. No wake zone but only a 2-3min float to the main lake. The house had everything to accommodate our family and the kitchen had everything you could even need. The bottom of the stairs leading to the dock is a little tricky, and could use some work. Find for me and the kids but not comfortable with taking my elderly father-in-law down then. Thankfully the marina is a very short drive and he could get on the boat that way.

House was comfortable, spacious, and had a great view of the lake. Host was quick to respond, and neighbor was friendly.

Great week at the lake. House fit perfect for our family. Nice location and very clean. Look forward to staying again in the future.

The Lure was a great location for our annual extended family trip to Norris. The host was quick to respond when issues arose. The fire pit on an angle/hill which was the only thing I would change. The minimal steps to the dock were manageable for my parents that do not walk well. Thank you again for a great stay.
