Beautiful house boat and a great location. Had everything we needed. It was a home football weekend so the rate reflected that, as we would have expected anywhere. Would absolutely stay again!

Kim was incredibly friendly, welcoming, helpful and accommodating. The place was immaculate and offer everything we needed close to downtown. I’d definitely recommend a stay on this houseboat on the TN river!

This was one of our best VRBO experiences that we have ever had. The boat was outstanding, very spacious, and very comfortable. The proximity to everything was perfect and parking was easy. Kim, our host, made everything from check-in to check-out wonderful. The houseboat is very well appointed and labeled. We had no trouble finding everything that we needed and truly enjoyed the surroundings. There are great restaurants right at the marina and if you want to venture out, it was easy to get an Uber or access your car. The Vol Navy was a wonderful experience that we would recommend it as a "must do" for a great Tennessee weekend.

This was our second stay with this host at the second of their two houseboats and we were equally happy with both stays. The properties were spotless and exactly as advertised. Plenty of room to relax and enjoy the serenity of the river. The boats are extremely well stocked with everything we could need. Much more fun and private than a condo or hotel room. We will definitely be staying again.

We had a wonderful experience here. It was beautiful, peaceful, clean, and comfortable. The houseboat had everything we needed and then some. And our hosts were so friendly, as was everyone else we met in this city. 10/10 recommend.
