Overall the place was nice, we had 10 of us, 3 adults and 7 kids, plenty of room. The kitchen was a little small for preparing meals for the large group. The home needs just a little love in a few places to get that 5th star. Shades need redone on the porch, the porch is missing lights/ceiling fans. There is a bunch of blow up lake items they should either clean or toss and only one Kayak is safe to use, the others took on water. The marina is nice, has what you need, the staff was friendly and overall we had a great time for our first time at Norris. We hope to be back in the future!
It was perfect for what we needed. Kayaks being there was great for the kids. Only reason it didn’t get all 5s was that it just needs a few maintenance items fixed nothing major few light bulbs here and there things like that

Up keep issues
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.
It was a great little house in a beautiful location. There were a few things needing repairs. The master shower was cracked. The water pump had to be shut off to keep from running constantly and the garbage disposal leaked. We would have given it a excellent review if these items were fixed as it was an amazing location.
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.
Nice place a few maintenance things needed. Some of the decking boards are rotten, showers have cracks in fiberglass, railing on front porch needs pressure washing and replaced. Water pump needs to be somewhere else beside in the closet of master bedroom. It turns on and off every minute. Very loud and disturbing.
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!

Descent place in bad need of repairs/updating. Kitchen and living room are good, bedrooms and beds are good. Most of the issues are with the bathrooms and plumbing. We had little to no hot water, the drains in the shower clog, the toilet runs non-stop and fills the septic tank, which has to be sucked out. The toilet seat was covered with mold and the shower has a crack in the base. Several other issues not worth listing. The staff is nice and tried to be helpful. We would not stay here again.
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.

Could be better
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.
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
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!!
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!
