The Pollyanna is a quiet retreat. Our host included a binder of local businesses. We liked all the "homey" touches you will never get at a hotel. Already thinking about returning in two years.

Norris Trip

Great Stay. Beds were comfortable, house was very clean. Margie was very sweet and responsive. All the extras in the house were awesome, especially the fresh baked cookies upon arrival. The house is about 6 minutes from Norris Damn Marina and 15 minutes from Wind Rock trail head. So close to many fun adventures. Easy to park your trailers. Everything was perfect.

Less than 10 min from Norris Dam marina. Pull through drive way was perfect for truck with boat trailer and a several extra vehicles. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware, and utensils. Cookies were amazing. Host had provided absolutely everything we needed and went out of her way to accommodate our early checkin. Was more than willing to provide anything we may have wanted. Bed’s were extremely comfortable. Sitting space in the living room was amazing. Plenty of space throughout the home and spacious kitchen. TV’s with Direct TV in every room. WiFi access was perfect. Charcoal grill with charcoal and charcoal starter was quick and easy. Nice deck area. Very nice firepit with seating. Washer and Dryer worked well and were a huge convenience. We would definitely stay again and have recommended to all of our friends.
