Guest Reviews
Our family vacation spanned four generations and Dockside Dreaming met all our needs. From the youngest to the oldest we all had a wonderful time. There was plenty of privacy for sleeping and many different shared areas to be together. The dock and lake are amazing and we all took advantage of beautiful Norris Lake. We were able to get parking accommodated with the excess parking at the pool area as well as keep our trailer there. There were many things provided to enhance our stay. The large capacity washer/dryer helped to keep up with towels and day to day laundry. One of our family traditions is to always have Thanksgiving Dinner when we are together. We found everything we needed to make that happen as well as all the other meals we prepared for a large family group. Trash pick up 3 times a week kept up with the large amount of trash we accumulated. I will say the stairs are a challenge but even this great grandma managed them and was rewarded with a refreshing lake swim.

This was a great house. We spent a week with our adult kids. Lots of games and books. Kitchen was very well furnished with cookware and utensils. The new dock was so much fun. Double decker with a slide! Our host was very accommodating. There are two marinas close by for boat rentals if you need them.

Our stay was nothing short of amazing. It was the perfect size house to get the entire family together and hangout. The house provided options for all ages. There were games, pac-man, air hockey, and of course the lake. The location is perfect; you are close to the Sugar Hollow Marina and the Jumping Bridge. Not only was the host great at communication but their on site manager was great! My family is already talking about next year!

Such a beautiful and peaceful place! Nestled in a cove on Norris you get the tranquility of the lake and beautiful scenery. The house fit all of our needs and cleaned and ready for us! Our host was very communicative and the on site coordinator was there for anything we needed.

We had an absolute blast staying at this house! The house manager Kim was super kind and helpful. The amenities were just what we wanted! The place was spotless and our group felt very comfortable staying there. It's right on the lake and just loved jet skiing all weekend. Highly recommend this place!

Such a wonderful house!! This place is huge with plenty of space to spread out, enjoy the outdoors or indoors, eat together, cook meals, and just lounge. Our group had a blast! Beds were comfy, good water pressure in the showers, and there were plenty of games and amenities around the house (air hockey table and a Pac-Man machine too!!). It’s a quiet area with beautiful views; you’ll be in a little arm of the lake that’s private to you and the few neighbors around. They had some kayaks available for use which was a nice touch! Cell service isn’t the greatest up there but the WiFi is good! Plenty of linens were provided and the kitchens were fully equipped with tons of cooking utensils, pots, pans, dishes, cutlery, and even a Keurig. Our host was very responsive and catered to our needs throughout our whole stay. We hope to have the opportunity to return soon!!
