Place was awesome
Stayed here with my family for vacation seemed like great idea. When you walk in at first it seems really nice until you look further. The first bathroom is literally rotting beneath you. If you try to sit on the toilet the floor is so destroyed you lean sideways an feel like you will fall through. Then the additional bathroom in the “master bedroom” the shower it cracked down the middle an rotting away beneath it as well. The kitchen is nice an main room but they could give a list of suggested items to bring. The kitchen had very limited utensils for cooking an absolutely no sharp knives or dish towels. Then the porch had one chair with a really large table with no lights outside open wiring on ceiling where they must have had lights or fans. The grill is also pointless as only one partial burner works.
We loved staying in a floating house. It was our first time. The house is in need of a deep clean. Other than that....the staff ar Whitmann hollow was great!
The house itself did the job but needs some better maintenance for sure! We will definitely not stay here again for a variety of reasons. Things to know: The master shower has a large crack in the floor. Black residue around the baseboards. The other bathroom evidently has a hole in the floor with just linoleum covering it. Kitchen is not well stocked. Very few bowls for serving or mixing . The one colander is broken. No pot holders. Decorative Lights around window didn’t work. Porch not very clean and had giant spider webs everywhere. Grill had not been cleaned in a long time ! Definitely a fire hazard. The oven was very clean though. Refrigerator worked well. No dishwasher but there is a garbage disposal so that was nice. Living room was big. Not a smart TV and no cable service. Bring an HDMI cable if you want to watch something. Movie selection at house is pretty dated and limited. There was a deck box full of floatable stuff but most of it was junk and needs cleaned out. Giant floatable unicorn in a heap laying on the deck which my kids were excited to blow up until they realized it had a giant hole in it. The kayaks were nice though! Not being able to flush toilet paper was kind of gross and then having to take our trash via boat to marina was not ideal but I guess that’s how it is with a floating house. But the marina staff were very friendly. They didn’t seem well versed on check-in/check-out procedures though.
We really enjoyed the floating house.
The property was clean and spacious and the location was perfect. The only downsides were that the beds were very uncomfortable, not enough linens provided for a group of 8-10, and only 2 outdoor chairs. We were not able to make good use of the outdoor dining area due to a lack of seating. The kitchen is reasonably equipped but we could find few dish towels and no pot holders. The availability of kayaks was great although not enough paddles for the 3 kayaks.
A great property to stay in on the water. Love the large open living room and kitchen and couches were very comfortable for a VRBO.
The property is just as advertised. Perfect getaway spot. Plenty towels and plenty to do at the house. Also the location is awesome. Close to the marina and east to get in the boat and go.
Everything was as listed. Great location!! We will stay again next time at the lake!!!
The three separate bedrooms, one with bunk beds work great for two families with kids. Plenty of room in the kitchen and den area to spread out and a nice sized dock as well. Will stay here again
As advertised and in adequate shape for the end of the season.
Always enjoyable staying IN the lake on a floating house. Clean and comfortable. Marina is a lot of fun.
The floating home is right on the route to froggies, a group of women went for a girls weekend get a way and it was a blast. Would go back next year if our group wasn’t getting to big for the house.
We had a great stay and the place was very clean. There are a few things on the description that were not available. The Bluetooth speakers do not work and as far as movies if you want to watch any type of tv you better bring some movies. The beds were not comfortable but they were clean. I would stay at this marina again when we come back!!
We had a wonderful time! We all enjoyed being right on the lake! House has some structural issues, but nothing that kept us from a good weekend!
What a great 5 days! Marina was amazing to work with, very responsive. You can not beat waking up to Norris water! Don't think twice, book your needed attitude adjustment today!
Our trip was great. We’ve stayed at this house before and it never disappoints. Close to an amazing marina with great service, but also close to lots of open water and coves on the lake.
Everything was very nice and well kept. We will definitely be back to visit! Thanks
My family and I really enjoyed the floating house. The Marina staff was super friendly and helpful! We can’t wait to come back!!
We had a great repeat visit this year. The house is large enough to accommodate our extended family and we love the deck, the location, and the proximity to the marina. Some recommendations from our group would be pumping the sewage out more regularly. We have had the front bathroom overflow on both visits and were told they only pump the sewage storage out once a year or so. We also were without a washing machine as it was not working and needed a new part that was not fixed during our week there. We packed with the expectation we could do a few loads of laundry and also needed to wash towels, so that was an inconvenience for the group. When we were there last year the washer and dryer had to be completely replaced. Other suggestions include looking into why the water from faucets smells so terrible. We were worried about using it and showering was not fun. I do not recall this being an issue last year. The beds could also use some egg crates or mattress pads as they are very uncomfortable, aside for the master. Again we love this area, love the marina, the staff are all very kind and helpful. We were just disappointed in some of the maintenance issues during this trip.
