Owl House on Norris Lake

We was allowed to bring the dogs. It was right down from the lake and very peaceful. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Beautiful 5 minute walk to the lake.

Beautiful historic property. Recommend updating pictures and directions to boat dock. Very peaceful. Very pleasant seeing deer in yard every day. Friendly neighborhood. One suggestion is to put up an antenna so people can watch live TV also.

This is a comfy, pet friendly home in a beautiful location. We sat on the screened in porch as several deer passed through the yard and enjoyed our kayaks from the small dock on the lake. We will definitely be back!

The Owl House has a great front porch that we watched hundreds of deers from. We saw a scunk. The beach area is very nice. One could walk or drive to it. It's nice because it has great trees for shade but yet a sunny beach with dock. The location of the rental is not far from town. The rental is not directly on the lake and the lake view is very limited. The rental was not clean with mouse turds in the drawers, very messy and unorganized. The floor was very dirty. Stove top and oven were dirty, toys just thrown in a corner by a tv that didn't have volume. I wouldn't stay again because of the cleanliness but I will give the deer and beach access a 10.

1. no key or lockbox found as stated on the web, found an open door.2. Beds are too short - feet hang over the edge.3. The smell was ungodly, possibly mold - home homeowner said it was just from being closed up all winter.4. The wall in the kitchen was disconnected - looks like the stove was the only thing holding it up.5. The dock they show in pix isn't what you get. 6. Pix makes property look close to the water - it isn't.

It was a time capsule in a good way.

Really enjoyed the setting, saw deer and squirrels.

rustic and quite night sounds and wildlife relaxed for a few nights then continued our road trip.

Very, very relaxing stay with plenty of room for everyone... screened in porches were awesome. Hosts were quick to answer any questions and immediately addressed a concern with personal follow-up. Will be back...

If you like Camping then you will enjoy The Owl House. If you like screened in porches with a water view then you have 2 to choose from. The Owl House is perfectly located in between Stardust Marina & Sequoyah Marina. Stardust definitely gets my vote for staff, entertainment & food!!! Their Fireworks display was top notch-can’t wait until next year!

Place was very close to the lake and also to Sequoia Marina which was nice but the online photos showed a boat dock which we thought we would have access to from at the property but unfortunately that was not the case? We expected to be on the older side but was very disappointed in how outdated and unclean the place actually was. Dust, cobwebs, spiders and bugs all over inside and the floors were so dirty. The bathroom sink and shower was also very dirty. In the living room we were afraid to sit on the outdated very dirty couch that had a slip cover over it so we would sit at the kitchen table in a couple of the wooden chairs (each chair had a fancy skeleton skull design on them). The outside porch was where we spent the majority of our time while during our time there in a couple of lawn chairs that we had to clean off before we could sit down because they were covered in dirt as well. On a positive note the land was beautiful with trees and nature all around in which we saw some deer. The neighborhood was nice as well. A kind suggestion would be to hire a better cleaner and definitely upgrade to a newer couch/furniture that makes your guests feel welcome.

Nice quiet neighborhood. Loved the screen porch. Beds were clean and comfortable. Bathroom was small but clean. Great place to walk down to the lake shore. We all enjoyed our stay.
