Just throwing this out here hoping a few locals can give some input and anyone else that might have knowledge.

My family books a house on Norris almost every year. This year we couldn't make it but are shopping for next summer.

We can stay in some of the same houses or venture away from Norris to Dale Hollow, Cherokee, or Douglas.

Wife found a great place on Cherokee but I know nothing about the other lakes. Dale Hollow seems less inhabited of the 4 and we do like to have dinner on the water at least once while we are there.

Let me know what you think about the 4 choices. We drive from Ohio so 5-6hr drive is not a big deal.
We have looked at other state but everyone loves The Volenteer state.

Thanks for the help.
