About the host
Hosted by Danielle Roof
I currently live in Rock Hill, SC, and operate four marinas across South Carolina and Tennessee. Of all of them, Swann’s Marina in Tennessee holds a special place in my heart. I’ve always been a mountain girl at heart, and there’s something truly peaceful and grounding about this property.
Swann’s Marina & Campground features 12 unique rentals—both cabins and campers—and I genuinely enjoy staying in each one. I love adding thoughtful touches, improving amenities, and continually elevating the guest experience. I also enjoy staying at other VRBO properties to gather inspiration, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer the same comfort, relaxation, and serenity to our guests.
Whether you’re seeking mountain quiet, lakeside adventure, or simply a place to unwind, I’m honored to welcome you to a place I care deeply about.

Why they chose this property
I love the water, I love the mountains. Swann's Marina allows me to enjoy both. Swann's Marina is also rich in history and as a history nerd, this is something I really appreciate!
What makes this property unique
This home has been completely gutted and remodeled. The craftsman is impeccable and we were really able to capture the history of the marina using dock boards, remnants that washed up from Helene as well as some very special pieces of furniture and antiques that we have been hanging onto to, just for this home!
