Total neglect on their part for not answering the phone with boats out on the water in total downpour of a storm. also the week before we were to pick up our boats from them I left at least 5 voicemail messages for them with no reply until we got our VRBO owner to intervene. it seems that once they had our $ paid in advance, they thought they could ignore us. They did refund the $ for the pathetic boat we got and did not charge us any fuel charges for either boat, but in my mind that in no way made up for the pathetic customer service and the dangerous situation they put us in with no way to contact them!! I could go on and on, but will just say I would never in a million years rent from them again.

My review is about our RV experience. We tow a 5th wheel and we towed our jet skis behind…read morethat...It was harrowing to get to their place and we were there in the middle of the day. Some areas of the road could only fit 1 vehicle at a time, with a drop off on one side and a mountain on the other. Thankfully, we didn't encounter anyone on our way in or out. I had seen someone saying they had a hard time getting in and I had called ahead of time to ask if we could easily get in and the lady that answered acted like she had no idea what I was talking about. Once we arrived, I immediately didn't want to stay and went to look for something else, but there was no cell service. The signs were all faded, so not sure where to go to check in. We finally figured it out and went to the marina to check in. If you have any mobility issues, you will not be able to get down the ramp to get to the marina. One of the reasons we chose to stay at this place was because they had an on site restaurant. Once I saw the marina, I didn't want to eat there. Everything is run down and seemed dirty...Maybe it was just run down and old. They are listed as a resort...I can't imagine what part of this place is resort like. The pool hasn't been usable in years or maybe even decades and is fenced off. There is no where to swim or enjoy the lake, other than with your water toys. The lady (I think there's only 1 person and she may be the owner) that checked us in said we may or may not be able to pull through in our pull through spot, but that we can back in. There was a small ditch in front of the spot, so backing in was not possible. By the way, there are a few full time RVs and a few cabins and only 1 spot open for overnight guests. So, it's really not a campground or RV park. We squeezed in and lost a couple trim pieces along the way. Then when we got parked, our front door is just steps away from the back of a cabin. So there was no sitting outside and enjoying the lake or the scenery. Only 4 good things about our stay...They had a nice, wide ramp to put your boats and skis in. The person that maintains their grounds does a pretty good job. They have gas and good WiFi (our WiFi didn't work, as there was no service). I really don't like leaving bad reviews, but this place did not feel restful and vacation like. I wanted to save others from the same experience.

The pizza was really good. The other food was just ok. I would have just stuck with the pizza if…read moreI went back again. I am not a huge fan of smoking and they allowed smoking in the dock where everyone was eating. I get that it's a free country, but maybe have them smoke away from families with young children? Overall the kids liked the pizza and their pretzel and cheese so they were happy. Not a bad option if you are on the lake and want something to eat.

The Volunteer Princes sailed from Volunteer Marina down river past Looney Island to Cherokee Boulevard. It then turned around mid-stream and headed back up river to it's dockage. The crew was excellent and the layout was a buffet forward on the first deck with tables aft and a bar on the upper deck with more tables. The boat has restrooms for men and women and plenty of room to move around on the two deck levels.. I heartily recommend the Volunteer Princess and her crew for your next event or occasion. Follow me in Yelp for more to see and do in Knoxville and East Tennessee.

So I take the blame for having to call the marina to verify where to pickup the boat. Pam was great getting us checked in and on our way. The boat performed well and we had a great day on Norris lake. My only complaint/suggestion, and why they lost one star, is the life jackets on the boat smelled like body odor. There were at least 8 life jackets stuffed into the back storage compartment. They were damp and just nasty. Luckily we brought our own so we didn't have to use them. Seems simple to pull all the jackets out, sanitize them(scuba places have this down for wetsuits), then hang them out to dry for the next customers. Besides that I would recommend twin cove for a boat rental if you have the need.

No wonder so many people call these boats their permanent full-time homes! And what a "neighborhood". Everyone talks to one another - about their boats, about the weather, about what they're eating, or who's coming to visit. There's also a restaurant/bar near the large boat dock, which is convenient upon exiting from the boat parties! I've been here a few times, and love it more each visit. I hope to see it stay quaint and pleasant and quiet, and I hope to be able to return for many years to come.

This particular marina is horrible! It's run by a guy named Corey that manages the dry docks and…read moreslips. My boat has been at this Marina for a year in dry docks. They damaged my new wake boat several different times, each time I brought it to their attention. Corey threatened to kick me out of the marina stating my boat was too big. Yet he has other wake boats on there as well. They actually ripped a large hole in my $1,900 boat cover and refused to pay for a new one and again threatened to kick me out. As we know spaces are limited on Tellico lake. Well today I got a random call from Corey stating I need to pick up my boat immediately that it's just too big after a year. No notice, no 30 days, he gave me until the weekend to pick it up. Stated the boat will be in the water Saturday and they are done servicing me. It's important to note I paid to get my boat repainted and all the damage they caused at no charge to them! Apparently this marina has like 11 owners and no way to reach someone above him to complain to. Now I'm left scrambling to find a place to even store my boat in the middle of the summer. User be ware!
