We are happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your trip to the lake and staying at Cedar Creek Inn. Thank you for taking the time to write a great review. Come back and stay with us again anytime!

Thank you so much for staying with us! It makes us happy to hear that your daughter thought our house was her favorite! We hope you will stay with us again in the future!

This group brought a dog into the home which does not comply with the rental agreement. When confronted they stated they wanted a refund and were going to write a review. The guest lost the house key during their stay and contacted housekeeping for a replacement. Neither housekeeping nor myself were made aware of any issues with the coffee pot or the home. Upon inspection after their departure the coffee pot was working and filters were in the pantry. This reservation was during Thanksgiving and a few acorns were on the driveway from the neighbors large oak tree. None were found in the house. We do not supply bath or beach towels. Hand towels, kitchen towels and bed linens are provided. A jetted tub is in the master bedroom, AI keeps changing the description to hot tub. I have removed jetted tub from the listing.

Hi Dave and Peg. Thank you for the compliments on our home. We are happy that you chose to stay with us for your first family trip to Norris Lake! So glad that the family enjoyed swimming off the dock and kayaking in the cove. We do hope you will stay with us again for any future trips to Norris Lake.

Jennifer, thank you for staying with us at Cedar Creek Inn and taking the time to write a review. Nice to hear you and your family enjoyed the new deck.

Thank you Christine for choosing to stay with us on your first trip to Norris Lake! We hope you will come back to the Cedar Creek Inn for any future trips to Norris Lake!

Hi Candy, thank you for choosing to stay with us again at Cedar Creek Inn. We are happy to hear you liked the remodel. We have chosen not to have electricity at or on the dock. All the wiring has been removed.. The dock across the cove does not have electricity either. This allows guests to enjoy the lake, swim off the dock, float in the cove and fish even if they do not have a boat.

Candice, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry that we did not meet your expectations. Check in time is 4PM or after. You arrived on July 5th during the busiest summer holiday. Housekeeping has more houses than this one that they need to clean every Saturday. Unfortunately this being a holiday they were running a little behind and since being rushed may have overlooked a few things. Had you contacted either myself or Lori, we would have addressed your concerns. You were welcome to enjoy the lake or the tiki while you waited for them to finish. The home is equipped with 2 television sets. One in the living room and a smart TV in the upstairs master bedroom. Some of our older guests prefer a TV that is easier to use. The house is not advertised as having smart features. The home is located on a mountain lake in East Tennessee. Most guests come to the lake to relax and enjoy nature. We do not advertise the home as near shopping or fancy restaurants. There are many marinas close to the house that offer restaurants and entertainment. The neighborhood has its own golf course, marina, private air strip and tiki club restaurant. A small winery is just outside the gate. The closest grocery store is 30 minutes away with Walmart and fast food 40 minutes away. Grocery delivery service is also offered if a guest chooses that service. We always encourage guests to research their destinations before making a reservation for a vacation whether it is Norris Lake or elsewhere.

Stephanie, thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the house and the location on the lake. We enjoy the proximity to marinas and restaurants as well. The neighbors trees do provide privacy when outside enjoying the deck and dining table.. The best view of the lake from the house is looking towards the dock and cove .

Lauren, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. If this is your first time to Norris Lake, it is a lake in the beautiful mountains of Tennessee. The house is elevated from the lake as shown in the vrbo listing. I’m sorry that you did not take this into consideration before you made your reservation. As you boated around the area, I’m sure you noticed most of the homes do have steps to the lake. If you wanted something closer, you could have paid double for a different home. Cedar Creek Inn is a great value. You have a large, covered private dock in a quiet cove where you are able to swim. You get lakefront for a lakeview price. Many of the other homes, condos and villas in Deerfield have longer walks to their shared docks. You also saved money by being able to park your 2 trailers and trucks in the driveway instead of paying for the mandatory trailer storage. The home has AT&T internet and phone service. In the welcome e mail you received, it is advised to turn on the Wi-Fi calling on your cell phone because the reception can be spotty because we are in the mountains. Many guests as well as myself and husband have worked from home using the internet and phone service without any issues. We do not supply bath and beach towels due to the red Tennessee clay by the water, we supply sheets, kitchen and hand towels which is in the listing as well as in your welcome e mail. The home is on well and septic as are most of the homes in the area. Too much laundry will overload the system. A set of sheets for the pull-out sofa is in the dresser, and each bedroom has a blanket or bedspread in the closet. Wasp spray is also available under the sink, we are sorry to hear your daughter got stung. We are in the woods with much wildlife. If you had any issues with your stay, you should have sent either myself or housekeeping a message the first day so we could have taken care of your needs. Neither of us heard from you all week. Housekeeping name and phone number is in the welcome e mail as well as on the framed welcome letter in the kitchen. The Deerfield Marina is privately owned. They do charge a $25.00 launch fee which is also included in your welcome e mail. The launch is all concrete, wide enough to launch 2 boats at the same time with a gentle slope into the water. It can be busy, Deerfield is a popular place. We are happy to hear you did enjoy the dock and location of the house with such close proximity to several marinas and the jumping bridge. This is the welcome e mail everyone receives before they arrive: Thank you for choosing to stay with us at Cedar Creek Inn, we hope you have a great vacation. Please contact xxxx xxxxx approximately 3 days before your check in at xxx-xxx-xxxx, she is also copied on this message. The home has a large gas grill on the upper deck. Please keep it covered when not in use and the lid closed to prevent water from getting in the grill in case of rain. Also keep the umbrella closed when not in use to prevent damage from wind or storms. We have AT&T internet, for best cell service please use Wi-Fi calling while at the house as regular cell service is spotty due to the hills and mountains. The home is equipped with starter supplies of paper products, trash bags, dish and hand soap. Bed linens and kitchen towels are also supplied. You will need to bring bath and beach towels, please remind your guests to bring them as well. In the kitchen we have a Keurig single serve coffee pot as well as a 10 cup regular pot. The kitchen is pretty well stocked, however if there is something special you may want please bring it with you. An example would be a waffle maker, we had supplied one in the past but guests would not clean it and put it away dirty. You may also want to bring life jackets, floats for floating in the cove, lines for tying off the water toys, soft sided coolers (easier for transport from the house) and camp chairs for the dock. We are a safe swimming cove, as there are not any houses past the Cedar Creek Inn. Many guests swim off the dock, please wear your life vests. If you prefer to use the resort pool, there is not an additional fee. Attached is a gate pass and directions to the house once inside of Deerfield. If you are pulling a trailer the green route is more forgiving to the house but there may be low tree branches. If you are bringing a boat and wish to anchor at the jumping bridge we let out 200 feet of line to secure the boat. Many boats were having a hard time getting their anchors to set because of the depth of the water. Rental boats do not come with anchors. Oasis watersports offers boat and jet ski rentals as well as all of the water toys. In most cases they will deliver to the house. There is a marina in the resort where you can launch your boat. You will pass it shortly after you pass through the gate to Deerfield. There is a $25.00 launch fee. You may park your trailer at the house, back in first as far as possible and there is still room for several cars. There is also a rustic fire pit, you may wish to bring firewood. There is a small store on the way in that offers wood for sale. There is also a lot of wood around the resort if you do not mind looking for it. All trash must bagged in regular size trash bags, (not grocery store bags) tied put in cans and taken to the concrete pad at the top of the driveway, otherwise there will be a charge from the trash service. Shanghai and Sugar Hollow are the closest marinas to the house. Both have restaurants and Shanghai has gas. Springs Dock also has gas. The Tiki Hut is the restaurant in Deerfield Cove marina, you will pass it on the way to the house shortly after you enter the gate. We hope you have a wonderful stay. Please do not hesitate to e mail if you have any additional questions. Regards, Cedar Creek Inn
