Three bedroom, two bathroom floating home located at Whitman Hollow Marina. Home of Froggies Patio Bar (best wings on the lake). Voted one of the best Marinas on the lake two years in a row! Classic cottage feel floating right on the water. NO STEPS to get in and swim all day long.

Plenty of space for 10 adults without feeling crowded. Two sets of SOLID wood double over double bunk beds and a Queen bed in the master suite. One full bathroom with tub and a 3/4 bathroom with a shower.

Great location for good flat water for water sports (GO WAKEBOARDING) or a short trip to several other marinas. Really close to Indian River and a 15-25 min boat ride to The Dam, Sequoia, and Stardust.

House was fabulous and clean. Beds were nice and kitchen was well stocked and great for a large group. Internet worked great. However, wish we would have known there was no phone service in that area of the lake and TV had no cable or smart capabilities. Overall, perfect stay.

Awesome stay at Norris

We rented this house for a family reunion at Norris and it worked perfectly! Clean, spacious, lots of outdoor space! Plenty of boat parking and we love the Whitman Hollow Marina and Froggies Bar! Kids loved jumping off the 2 story dock! We will definitely rent here again in the future! Thanks Adam for the hospitality!

Cool Experience

This was our first experience with a floating house, we have rented houseboats on other lakes in the past. It's like a bigger, nicer houseboat and you don't have to worry about generator fuel. lol. The jumping deck and slide kept the kids entertained nicely. The covered sitting areas were a blessing in the afternoon sun or when a rain shower would blow through. We had one little hiccup with access, but the owner and manager had it rectified before I could make my second trip to get the rest of our stuff from the car. Overall a great experience!

Great getaway! Will return!

My wife and I work remote and the internet was fantastic! Also this has everything needed to cook some meals, if you aren't hanging out at the great Marina bar and grill, Froggie's! Quality of knives, cookware, sheets and towels...all felt very well thought out and focused on a great experience! Will definitely return!

We'll be back!!

We were very happy with the entire experience! Navigating the rental process was a breeze. Communication with the renter was outstanding. Before, during and after our stay we received responses to our questions almost immediately. The pictures and description of the property were spot on. No surprises! The property was very clean and well kept. Lake Norris was absolutely beautiful, as well. The water was warm and crystal clear which added to our overall positive experience. The locals were very kind and helpful and Froggies was awesome! We couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Seriously! We are booking it again for next year. We would highly recommend "The Donner" to anyone looking for a stress-free vacation.

Unique and Relaxing “GetAway” Experience

We have nothing but positive things to say about this property. The house was clean and exactly as pictured. We were also able to utilize the paddle boat and kayak along with the slide at the property. It was just a wonderful stay all around. Many Thanks!

AMAZING FAMILY VACATION

This was an amazing family vacation. The floating house was incredibly homey and perfectly laid out. The owner was wonderful to work with and he responded promptly to my many, man questions. The property location was convenient to the marina and the neighbors were pleasant. I loved my mornings on the front porch and naps in the hammock on the covered deck. The kids spent hours jumping off the upper deck. The water was gorgeous and TN in June is perfect. We will definitely be back.
