First time to Norris Lake
Perfect place on the lake! From coffee in the morning on the porch to sitting out at night with friends, it was perfect! The kids loved the swim mat, slide, and kayaks! Owners were very nice and responded quickly to all questions! Will definitely plan to come back!

Amazing
Amazing place, very very clean, it has everything you need and Jack the owner stopped by to make sure everything was okay, very nice gentleman. I would not hesitate to stay here, we were a family of 10, it was spacious and I can’t say enough about how clean and well maintained everything was. The pictures does not do this place justice at all you really have to see it in person. Thanks Jack, for sharing such an amazing place with our family.

Loved Lake Life
Our Happy Place is a beautiful houseboat in a quiet marina that fit our family of 5 perfectly. From fishing to kayaking, boat tubing to jet skis, or just relaxing on the water, this place had all the water activities possible. Check in and out is very easy and the home is kept in impeccable condition. We can’t wait to come back!

Great comfortable stay!
Very clean and comfortable house. Plenty of space for 8 adults. Marina staff are super friendly, However the neighbors will call on you for using any foul language. House has everything you need but could use more bath towels as there were only 5 towels and 8 people, so we had to use our beach towels. Shower is amazing and beds were comfortable. Very nice deck with pull down shades. Wonderful stay! Thank you for sharing your lake house with us!

Great place!
The floating house was a great place for our family vacation. Our grandsons 6&9 loved the slide. It was our first time on Norris and enjoyed everything about it. Jack’s response to messages was quick. The house had everything you needed plus more. Derek and everyone at the marina were helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back to this beautiful area.

Paradise in Norris Lake
The floating boat house is in a wonderful location and has everything you need for a peaceful get away on beautiful Norris lake. The owners do a wonderful job decorating and providing a kitchen with everything you need to prepare meals during your stay. Very clean and comfortable. We rented a pontoon from Straight Creek Marina and they were very nice and accommodating as well. We absolutely loved our time at “Our Happy Place”
