Our family is staying in a house near the marina for vacation. We decided to rent a pontoon boat…read morefor the day. Reserving the boat was easy. We were asked to get there 15 minutes early to fill out paperwork. I think we should have gotten there more like 20-25 minutes early because fitting for life vests took a little longer than expected. The boat was nice and came with nice life vests, not just the typical orange ones. When we came back in, the dock employees were there ready to help dock the boat. Any day on Holston Lake is a good day. Definitely a do again!

The company sent out a survey to their customers. Just the customers that have a boat slip…read more Those of us who have floating cabins were omitted. We believe it is because we are in contract negotiations. They are purposing a contract that says they will not continue to move our houses unless we pay a 35% increase. However if we get someone else to move them they will not reduce our rent. Three years ago they raised our rent 30% to continue moving our floating cabins. The contract states we move our own cabins. How are you suppose to move your own cabin if you don't live here or are physically unable. A company that is all about customer service,, I don't think so.

Excellent find! Such a hidden chill spot on a quiet lake--unless a camp shows up. I'm assuming…read moregroups of teenagers from camps isn't common. If it is common, drop this to 2 Stars. But if they don't show up, it's a gem. You even have the whole water park to yourself, and it's fun! You can also lounge on a dock while drinking a beer with a mountain backdrop. If you want more action after that, you can go paddle-boarding, kayaking, or jet skiing. They also have a restaurant overlooking the lake with excellent Chicken Tenders and tons of beer on tap. And the service is friendly and efficient. If you want to feed fish, they're waiting for you. They come up to the side of the restaurant deck. Once again, this really comes down to how many people show up to that dock on the lake. The fewer, the better. If it's crowded, time to eat or go do something else because it's not a lot of space. Overall, recommended. For best odds of fewer people, get there early or late.

Food was good, portions were a bit small. Service was horrid, received more eye rolls than refills.read more

If I could give a negative review I would! I purchased a new boat from them a couple years ago and…read morewas basically just handed the keys. No test ride, didn't show me a thing on boat, and didn't even help me hook trailer to my truck. They offered no extras to make my boat lake ready other than cheap life jackets. They told me they would register my engine for me with Yamaha for warranty, that NEVER happened. I had to get service at another marina and they discovered that the salesman at Rockingham lied to me as it never was registered. Not being very wise, and being the nice guy I am, I thought I would give them another chance on maybe trading my boat that I purchased from them new; boy what a mistake! The salesman said he just moved here form out of state and he said he knew no prices. I asked him to just look up some prices for me and give me a call back, to no surprise I never got a call. He treated me and my wife like we had no money and he didn't have time for us. I guess our car was not nice enough for him to say these people can afford a boat, even though I had told him I had purchased a new boat just two years ago from Rockingham. Oh yea, might I mention also that I was not driving POS, My car is only two years old and a high end model of a not cheap brand. This was by far my worst shopping experience ever! Not sad for him or Rockingham Marina, I purchased a $94,000.00 boat from a much nicer and caring marina/boat dealership. I hope my experience will help others.

Booked with FishSprings on recommendation from our AirBnB host. Could not have been more satisfied…read morewith the ease of rental, quality and performance of the vessel and most importantly grateful to the team for their professionalism and support during a tough situation. Family booked a boat for multiple days on lake. While on the water our first day a family member had a medical incident requiring emergency support. With barely any cell service we were able to get in touch with the Marina spoke to a person who through what was probably garbled communication they understood the situation and had an ambulance and cold water for kids waiting for us as soon as we got there. This was our first time visiting this beautiful lake and would without hesitation return for the views but also to rent from Fish Springs Marina, highly recommended. Thank you Thomas and crew!!

He made this purchase most enjoyable. The boat is gorgeous. Jason who helped us in financing was professional, knowledgeable, and also a joy to work with.

He was amazing in giving us additional instruction that was very much appreciated. This team is to be praised for their efforts and all their heartfelt genuine care. We have never had such a seamless experience as this making a large purchase. They are truly a great group of gentleman and our experience with this company was unsurpassed. Thank you kindly!

They walk you through the safety issues so your time in the lake is the best and safest possible. Worth the 45 minute drive from Banner Elk. Bring your own food, as there aren't many places to get a bite on the water. We did have an issue with the alarm continually go off as we were out. We called the marina and they put us on hold. Finally came back in so they could help us. Basically all we got was an "I'm sorry!" When we asked if we got a break for cutting our time short due to the boat, we were told, "No, we only have one season!" Not sure what that's supposed to mean. We still had a good time & we would come back.
