Lake Life Upper Apt-2 min walk to Lk Junaluska ASM
Carolyn's place is very clean, safe, beautiful, and loaded with all anyone might need during a stay. The location and view are amazing! Carolyn is very responsive and friendly. I enjoyed my trip and cannot wait to go back!

The Hooch Hideaway
This was the perfect location—right on the river and easily walkable to all the shops and restaurants in Helen!

Lakefront Family Fun, New Gazebo, Toys Included!
Loch Norm Lair is beautiful and relaxing. Great neighborhood. Just the peaceful week we needed. Rick and Judy are extremely friendly. Rick loves to share his boat and will take you for a ride. We sat and talked with them on several occasions and shared a dinner at a restaurant. The place is well cared for and a great deal, very reasonable pricing. It was a shame the sailboat wasn't working, would have loved a ride. We are already talking about a return trip in warmer weather to fully enjoy the water. Thank you so much for the beautiful week. Debbie and Jim

Pirate Cove - Lakefront on Norris Lake w/ dock
Hosts were helpful, available and very friendly. Good people. We will come back.

Lakefront Serenity
I really enjoyed my stay here. The view was spectacular, the area was peaceful, and it was close to lots of things to do. The apartment was stocked with everything I needed for the stay. I enjoyed the decor and I felt comfortable and right at home when relaxing in the space. The hosts were friendly and responsive. I would stay here again.

Top floor
We enjoyed our three night stay very much. We love to walk, but yet being just a few short blocks away from Main St meant we could walk everywhere yet have a quiet place to sleep at night. The parking, while not a dedicated spot, was never an issue - always right out front. The kitchen had just what we needed since we only planned to have breakfast each morning.

Very relaxing location, and cozy house

MarshMellow on Norris @ Whitman Hollow Marina
The house was wonderful. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Our family loved how peaceful it was.

All Decked Out
Beautiful place to stay! Loved the huge screened in porch and the upstairs area was great for kids hangout spot. I wish we had a water craft to enjoy the lake but we were in town to host a wedding. We did get to enjoy the dock and a little swimming the day after festivities. Would definitely stay again.

Clean and well-stocked. Easy check-in. Walkable from downtown. Host was fantastic and super responsive.

Soothing Creekside Sounds
Great place to stay. Centrally located to lots of great restaurants, attractions and grocery stores. Loved sitting out back listening to the birds and the creek below. Very private and peaceful. Super clean with lots of extra nice touches. Check out Anakeesta, beautiful park and incredible Mountain views.

*Riverfront* Pet Friendly near Downtown Gatlinburg
This trip was amazing! Chucks place was great, the location is outstanding right on the river with a short walk to downtown

Sleeping Turtle Lake Overlook
This was our second stay there, and we hope to come back many more times. She left us a beautiful snack basket that is always appreciated! There were plenty of towels and washcloths. The bed is so comfortable, and the place is always clean. My husband and my son enjoyed the fishing very much, and my son caught his very first fish ever there! It was a crappie, and the look on his face was priceless. We wish we could move there, it's so beautiful! Thank you for everything!!

Riverfront Condo close to all attractions.
We sat on the balcony every morning and enjoyed the beautiful peaceful river view. Very comfortable and clean home with everything you need. Jackie was very helpful and accessible. Convenient location. Definitely recommend this condo.

Happy on the river 2 master suites
This spot was amazing to stay in and we would absolutely visit again. Close enough to downtown to have fun but far enough away that you felt like you had a private space in the woods. The upstairs swing was pure bliss with a cozy, fluffy blanket on a brisk morning. The only real issue we ran into during our stay was with parking. The garage only fits 2 cars comfortably and we had 3. The person with the most reliable E brake gets the hill! Also, bring your own toiletries. They weren't provided and the local store is a little pricey.

Lake Norman Waterfront 1st Fl Condo, 3 Bed, Pool
Great condo on a beautiful lake. Took this trip to help my daughter get situated in her new apartment a couple of miles up the road. Will be coming back to see her this summer and I will definitely stay here again! If it’s available 😄
