Jason, Kelly, Dan, Bill, Zach and all of the rest of the folks at the marina office are about as good of folks as you could hope for. Always kind and helpful and easy to talk and have a laugh with.
We love our home port marina at Goose Pond Colony Resort. Friendly helpful caring staff.
Our new home away from home. Great community overall!
We had a good night at the marina. The staff is excellent and efficient and came out when we arrived and helped with our lines. The wifi is password protected and decent. There are showers close to the transient docks. Diesel and Gas available. The water was shut off when we were there due to freezing temps. The marina is well protected. We were there on a night with 40 mph winds and we slept like babies on the boat. We did go past the channel entrance and had a nail biter of a turn around in the channel just down river from the Marina. Be sure to look for the red and green signs - they are hard to read from the river, so get your binocs out. That is the channel you want to take - knowing that will make your entrance easier! Reservations are made by calling the office. With so much online, it would also be great to be able to reserve that way.
Beautiful marina tucked back in a cove off of the Tennessee River. Warm showers, clean and close bathrooms. And they have a courtesy car that we took to provision and get our booster shots, which was great. Super friendly dock staff and had one of the most efficient fuel-ups and pump-outs of the trip. Coming into the channel though there was a green channel marker that was in between another green marker and a red one, so it was a bit confusing coming in (and depths were skinny). Would have been easier if we were able to see a map of the marina and channel in advance to refer to so we had a bit more confidence coming in.
