We also allow one well-behaved, non-shedding dog with prior approval—just include details when booking so we can confirm it’s a good fit.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house on Lake Norris! The home itself was spacious, very clean, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable trip. The lake views were absolutely stunning, and we spent a lot of time enjoying the water. The dock was a highlight—perfect for relaxing, swimming, and taking in the scenery. Everyone in our group had a wonderful time, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We’d definitely come back!

This property is amazing! Beautiful home in a gorgeous setting, with a double-decker dock right on the lake. The jumping bridge is just right around a bend in the lake.This is the second time our family has stayed here, and we'd love to come back. Sara is as good a host as you will find. She's friendly and very quick to respond.

Serenity Now for us!

The cabin was great for our whole extended family (a total of 17 of us). There was plenty of room for each of our 5 families. We were able to hang out together in the main spaces, or retreat to their own quiet area when tired. The dock was amazing and the water was super clear with a greenish hue (apparently from the limestone and depth of water). Sara (the host) was on top of any issues we had and did everything in her power to help. She was an excellent host!

I've stayed in many homes on Norris and I think this has been my favorite. The lake access is rather secluded and the boat traffic minimal making for a very peaceful stay. Sara was an excellent host and I appreciate all of the communication throughout the process. Thank you!

Family Reunion Fun

We rented this home, and an adjacent for a bi-annual weeklong summer family reunion. The home provided lots of indoor and outdoor entertaining space to use and sleeping quarters that we could divide up for this who wanted to be further away from the common spaces. The docks are a lot of fun for the whole family too, and while there are steps to access, we all got used to it and the trip up and down is worth it for the beautiful views and swimming / water sport fun. Thank you to the host, who was helpful and responsive too!

Simply Amazing. Can’t wait to come back!

This house has it all - plenty of space, everything you need in the kitchen, comfortable beds and an amazing dock. The property is as described in the listing, but the photo's don't do it justice. We really loved the cute canvas welcome bag the owners gave us. Nice touch! Communication with the owners was easy and they were very responsive. Unfortunately, I had to do some work during this stay but the wifi worked great. The TV's are also smart, so you are able to log into your accounts and watch Netflex, Hulu, etc in the evening. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay and enjoy your very special lake house!

Second stay- even better than the first

We love this home and location! Close to Sugar Hollow, Shanghai, Deerfield, jumping bridge plus all the fun water/boating. When we're not out and about we LOVE hanging out on the double decker dock. This was our second time at Serenity Now and it did not disappoint. The kitchen has been remodeled and furniture replaced since our first visit. Very nice! There are two refrigerators, perfect for a large group. The whole property is well maintained and clean. The owner was quick to answer questions. We're hoping to stay again soon!

This property was amazing. The property manager was very thorough and easy to deal with and responded very quickly. The property was very well updated and stocked. The dock was amazing.

Well Used

Couches were broken down and uncomfortable both in the main room, and in the lower levels the majority of the beds are uncomfortable, because mattresses are also well used and you roll to the center of the bed. Had a problem with mice had to get our own traps to catch no response from Local property manager property had two refrigerators yet they did not have one turned on but a sign on it saying it takes 24 to 48 hours to get cold. That doesn’t help when you bring a large family there with food and are unable to put it in a cold refrigerator . The dock was very nice, unfortunately, along the steps, 91 from the dock to the main floor, which we understood before renting the community. Pool area is poorly maintained, and parking and access is extremely difficult. Never went to the pool it didn’t appear to be maintained never saw anyone in the pool during our entire stay, very limited parking at the house yet others houses along the road were blocking turn around you had no one from the property management staff made the move. They just allow them to block the area overall would not stay here again.

Great property! The owner and property manager were both very responsive to a few questions/concerns that we had. The beds were very comfy. Weeds around the steps/firepit were a bit overgrown and housed a smelly black & white critter that hisses at folks as you pass by but it didn't deter us from the amazing dock! In our opinion the best part of the whole place. So many wonderful memories made. We will be returning to Norris next yr!
