Jolly Mon-Lakefront cabin w/ private dock & hot tub, community pool

Beautiful! Private! LakeFront Log Cabin Style Home with Private Dock and Seadoo Dandydock on ****Year Round DEEP Water*** on Norris Lake. During the typical summer, the water at the dock is 35 feet deep. There is plenty of room to park you big boats and swim all around the dock area. In the late fall and winter the water is approximately 15 to 20 feet deep.

Main Level (street level) has the kitchen overlooking the dining room and great room. A master, queen suite with TV and full bathroom provides convenience of no steps required.. Upper Level offers two queen bedrooms with private sink/vanities. Both bedrooms straddle a Jack-n-Jill bathroom. Loft Level (2 levels up from Main Level) has full over full bunk beds. Lower Level provides second TV room, full bathroom, laundry room, spare refrigerator and two bedrooms (#5 & #6).

Your private hot tub overlooking the lake soaks the overworked muscles after playing on the water all day :) **prior to each rental, we empty, clean, and refill the hot tub.

Two decks provide a propane grill (free propane & basic grilling tools) and plenty of seating overlooking the lake.An observation deck built right on the shoreline provides a perfect reading room, tanning booth, and evening camp fires. For low cost firewood delivery, text the number posted in the home. You bring the pokers & skewers.

Your private dock provides a 10x24 foot covered boat slip, an uncovered slip, jet ski dock, and a HUGE swimming platform w/ ladder and seating. Large groups should bring some fold up chairs. You bring all the floatation toys. The dock does not have electricity. The boat ramp is 100 yards from the cabin. Trailers are parked inside our gated community in the designated parking area.

Need watercraft rentals? Reach out to NorrisLakeWaterSports. They deliver to your dock (ask for “Bertke 10% Discount”) or OasisNorrisLake. They deliver to your dockThe closest marina options are Sugar Hollow, Shanghai Marina, and Springs Dock.

This neighborhood has a small, free, community pool with kiddie pool 1/3 mile from the cabin up a very steep street. . It is clean but nothing fancy. There are no life guards or concessions. You don't need a pass. Free parking is available.

NOTES: *****Jolly Mon is located in a gated community. You must be minimum 28 years of age to rent this cabin. << This is STRICTLY enforced*****

Very nice location and lots of beds
Overall we loved our stay and visiting with each other. There are 100+ steps to the dock, so some of our older folks couldn't go down to it which was disappointing - pictures don't really show the full amount of stairs. Those of us who went down to the dock really loved being so near the lake - some even did some paddle boarding. There were plenty of beds - sometimes the beds overtook the room (ie. not much room for moving around in some of the rooms). Though we knew going in, there isn't much dining seating inside for a large group (and we had rain). There were plenty of dishes and pots and pans for our crowd. I contacted the 'property manager' via text and didn't get a reply. The upper bed of the bunk in the loft has no way to access it (unless you can lift a child up onto it). The property manager sent me an email/message indicated he never heard this before. Maybe others just didn't need to use it. But we had planned to use it, so one person was on the couch (instead of doubling up full size adults in a double bed). That upper bed needs a ladder to access from the side of the bed (as there is no room on the ends). Once in the top bunk anyone would not be able to even sit up (lie down only). Very deceiving in picture. The upper bunk bed in the lower level was very wobbly so we had to move it against the wall to make sure it wouldn't wobble all night. It could use some 'tightening'.

We enjoyed our stay
We brought our family which included 9 adults and 7 grandkids under 7. We had plenty of room to spread out. We were able to cook meals and eat together when we used the outdoor seating as well as the indoor. We appreciated the covered dock and the quiet cove to swim and paddle board in. Boating on the lake is always amazing with great water-skiing water. The hot tub was a nightly event after all the kiddos were in bed. The owner was very responsive and even helped recover a computer cord that we accidently left behind. Overall a great place to stay. Many memories were made!

Great cove location!
We loved the location of the house back in the cove, which allowed our kids to swim without being rocked by waves and to feel like we had a little private slice of the lake. The dock was great for our boats and for swimming and fishing from. The house had plenty of rooms and beds for our large group. Plenty of cookware for all of your meals and space to spread out. We loved being able to hang out on the decks in the morning for coffee and evening listening to the sounds of nature. There were a few of the deck chairs that were a bit unstable, so bringing some of your own chairs is not a bad idea. Also, LOTS of stairs (100+) which we don’t mind because we like the exercise but be aware that older or more unstable members of your party may need a golf cart (there’s a golf cart path and not sure if somewhere rents carts, but the path is perfect for a morning stroll). Would definitely stay again.

Crystal H., Lakeland

Great accommodations in house minus a few quirks.
We had a great time the space was there, the necessities were there. It was a short drive to town so that was good. A few things to change would definitely be the hot tub maintenance, it went out more times to count and in the cold weather we couldn't use the hot tub which was a big selling point. Also the trash situation was not ideal. We spent Christmas there and had way more trash then the allotted cans could aquire so there was alot of bags stacked. A couple of beds were rigged together and couldn't be used because they would fall through. Couches and carpets could use a cleaning but not to the point we couldnt use. I don't wanna harp on everything bad because overall we would stay again and had a wonderful time but coming blind with so many people we would've wanted it to be perfect as advertised. There was so many great qualities that made our trip wonderful but to improve for the next person I would focus on these things.

Beautiful scenery
This was a family vacation; my husband and myself along with our three adult children their spouses and a total of eight grandchildren. The kids absolutely enjoyed the lake, boating and the JetSki. We had a few issues with in the house but reached out to John and he was able to fix one. The kitchen is well equipped for making large family meals. A few of the beds were broken that I did report. We had a wonderful time and made great memories, many of the kids went hiking, and visited different towns along with the zoo and the titanic. I will mention there are a lot of steps to get down to the lake. The steps are safe and secure just very long, and all of the lights are burned out so it is not safe to go down at night.

Very disappointed; spent much of our vacation time addressing multiple issues with this unit
Let me start by saying we loved the lake and surrounding area, it was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately, our experience with Jolly Mon was very frustrating due to constant issues throughout our stay. Within the first hour after check in, my nephew nearly fell down the steep stairs between the cabin and lower cart path when one of the stairs collapsed. The stove sparked the first day we turned it on to make breakfast and blew out the electricity to the entire house. We were initially told to reset the fuse and use an electrical double burner to cook, which is completely unacceptable for a rental holding 19 people. It was clear that no one vacuumed the upstairs rooms and one of the bunk beds had a pee stain on it. Several bed frames were loose/broken. The stove was replaced, the stair was fixed, and 2 bed frames were fixed fairly quickly, however this added stress to our trip as we had to continually contact the maintenance guy. The most frustrating problem though was the air conditioners. The upstairs unit stopped working everyday, the first three days, then lower A/C unit broke on the fourth day. You cannot make this stuff up. We have stayed at many VRBO units and have never had so many issues. We had over 50 text messages exchanged with Chad the maintenance guy related to all of the problems and our entire family of 19 knew his name. There were only 9 towels available for a unit claiming to sleep 28, the Kuerig was broken, there were rotten boards on the deck, the carpet throughout is stained and filthy, three of the outdoor chairs were broken, and the handle on the sliding glass door from the dining room snapped off in my 10-year-old niece’s hand. Overall, the decks are very worn and in need of replacement boards, a good power washing, and fresh paint. We spent hours communicating about these problems including explaining in great detail what was going on… all while trying to enjoy our vacation. The owner was responsive while this was all happening but when we summarized all of the problems after our stay we unfortunately had no response.

Location is everything!
This property was exactly as listed and reviews were spot on. This is an older house that needs a little TLC. The first floor bedroom and bathroom were very nice. The basement bedrooms were nice along with the bathroom. The upstairs rooms were hard to keep cool. My granddaughters took the top room with the bunks and ended up on the couches because it was to hot and musty smelling. The description says the house sleeps 23 but that would be pushing it. We had 13 and it was just right. There is room for 23 people to sleep but the rooms are small. The WIFI was great, the kitchen was well stocked , all appliances worked well. The bathtubs have slow drains. The dock and fire pit were awesome. The hot tub also awesome. Parking was no problem. The carpet definitely needs to be replaced. The house is priced right and it is a great location on the lake and very close to Sugar Hollow Marina. We would go back.

Christmas gifts to our parents, children & grandkids
We had a good time even though it rained every day. It was great to be together. Played games and watched movies together when we couldn’t be in the water. I asked the manager for the Adirondack chairs and he bought them and brought them to us that day -which was very kind. The hot tub was amazing! There were some questions that I could only get general answers to. I will list specifically for others who may be wondering. There was a coffee pot AND a Keurig. There was a crockpot, 9x13 casserole dish, & a cutting mat for vegetables. None of the showers had bathmats or rugs to get out on. We had to use our towels for that. It was scary for elderly to try to get out of a tub. That was the only improvement I could think of. Enjoy your stay here. We had a great time and made many memories that will last the rest of our lives!

Thanksgiving
Our family lost our father this past year. Since we all live in different areas our goal at Thanksgiving was to "keep" us all together. This cabin was large enough that everyone had a bed (so that was great). The property manager was great. Every time I had a question I was promptly answered. Bedding was supplied, however we had to make all the beds up when we arrived. Sheets were just folded and in each room so that for sure took some time. If you are staying I would recommend that you take some extra towels. They do supply towels, however, not enough for a large group. I think the cabin would be a blast in the summer when you can enjoy the Lake. So.....take some family and friends this summer and have a great time!!

Long weekend with family
Property was very clean, easy to access. One issue is that the 6th "bedroom" was really more like a crows nest with bunkbeds, no door and it was very hot sleeping in there. Some of the beds needed some repair slats broken on ladder of bunk bed, 2 other beds the wood slats that supports the bed were broken so it sunk. Recliner leg rest was broken. Not enough towels says there were 5 per bathroom but that was not the case. Minor things, would stay there again location and cleanliness were a positive.

Great rental for large family
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was great for a large crowd and the kitchen was very well stocked and had enough dishes, utensils and cookware to easily cook for the large crew we had. Yes, the stairs are a bear. Consider it your exercise during your stay. If someone in your group has mobility issues, the stairs may prove too challenging. But we all did just fine.
