We checked in on Friday and were greeted by Barbie and John with open arms. The house is in a beautiful spot and is well kept, modern and clean. Once we unpacked and got the boats in the water the fun was on. When evening came we started dinner and realized the kitchen was awesomely equiped with everything thing you need to prepare a meal for 11 people. Only complaint about the kitchen was from the chef, he said the stove was very finicky and hard to predict/control. Everyone in the party was happy with their rooms and the comfort of the beds. John actually stays next door on his houseboat and is quite the character, he will make you laugh till you can't breath. Great guy! He was helpful and very accomodating to our needs. We liked him so much, we took him breakfast on the two mornings we made it. All in all we had a great stay. It went buy in flash and we all left sad that our time was over. We will be back as soon as we can make it happen for sure. Oh and I almost forgot, the parking is the best we have seen at Norris lake. Big lot across the street and plenty of room in the driveway and garage. Thanks for the hospitality John and barbie.
