The cabin was very spacious, quiet, and remote - the perfect setting for a Norris Lake getaway. The cabin was well equipped and we really enjoyed the beautiful views of the lake from both decks and the "easy access" of the boat dock and hot tub. We didn't think the switch back road to the cabin was as terrible as expected from previous reviews. For some reason the wifi never worked during our stay and this was an issue as my daughter was in grad school and required access. The fire pit was a disappointment - we looked forward to, however, couldn't use it. It really wasn't a fire pit, it was a pile of sticks and wood at the bottom of the hill. The path to the dock was very steep and could be difficult for the elderly, or people with young children to navigate. I suggest larger to stones to help with footing.
All in all, great stay, and Kathy was incredible to work with and very responsive. We would recommend Ma Cook!
