About this property
Three Bedroom FLOATING Home @Froggies/ Whitman Hollow Marina.

***Contact me about specific dates if they are blocked. Many dates have some flexibility as these are days we are staying at the house***
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.

Long weekend with friends and co workers. Property just as described. 2nd time staying and looking forward to next year. Host was very accommodating and easy to communicate with
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!
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.
This place has everything I wanted: peaceful lake setting, cooking pans & utensils, gas grill, indoor & outdoor seating, slide into the lake, paddle boat, kayak & plenty of room for 5 adults & a helpful host for my questions. Highly recommend you stay at The Donner at Norris Lake!
This place was perfect for our family trip. Owner was super responsive when we had a question. The kids loved the jumping platform. Great location in the mooring line up. 10/10
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!
We LOVE this place. Everything is amazing... I think this was the 5th time we've stayed now!? Myself, my husband, my parents, and our two kids (now 5/7). Place is VERY well stocked, a fantastic outdoor space and the porch spaces are everything! The host and house manager are so friendly, address any concerns immediately, and make any issues during our stay a non-issue!Obviously, 10/10, will stay there again!!!The kids wear themselves out going up to the top deck to jump in for a swim! The younger has been doing it since he was just 3!!!
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!
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.

LOL super clean - all the extras , slide off the double deck and jumping space Paddle boat , Kayak available for use . Grill and 2 patio spaces , outdoor speakers with blue tooth . 10/10
