We were very happy with the rooms. We had a great view of the entire Marina. The rooms were older but very large, very clean and perfect for our weekend visit. You could walk from your room to the restaurant, to the docks for sunset views, to the Marina store. The food and drinks we're worth the boat ride. Every meal was a delicious, fresh, and wonderful atmosphere . We took a short boat ride down to Chattanooga and had lunch. We never felt unsafe the entire weekend as we walked around and took boat rides. Highly recommend! Great for families too!

Great place to eat on the water. The food is better than your average Mexican restaurant. The dock where you tie up your boat could use a bit of work.

Used their parts department and they were so helpful. I was on the hunt for a lock spline spacer for an older prop boat and they didn't have a new one in stock but the parts manager was able to go to the shop and find a used one for me for $5. You don't get the old school service just anywhere anymore. Thank you for the help. Checked out the grounds and it looks super relaxing, going to try and plan a weekend in their cabin rental soon
