Great experience! Checking in to get our deck boat was smooth and Cameron covered everything in detail. Checking out and paying for gas at the end was also very smooth. No issues at all! Boat was clean and easy to use. Only thing to note is they took all anchors off their boats due to them getting lost or caught from previous renters. It was an extra $100 to rent an anchor. (We did not rent one.) When we pulled over in a cove, I did have to keep climbing on the boat when it drifted and take it back to the entrance to let it drift again.

Went to camp out for our anniversary after a day on the water came back to our R/V and the A/C went out called to get a room just for the night was willing to pay double , they had 1 room left but was short staffed for maid service?!?! Property is beautiful but how that was handled ruined it for me! I would have preferred they lie and tell us they were booked.

The atmosphere and food are great. Very nice place, and i enjoy feeding the ducks, eating ice cream, and spending time with family playing some corn hole. I would only like a few personal watercraft parking spots to avoid scratches to our watercraft jet skiis

Just visited the marina. Easy to book online. Helpful staff for first timers. There's a store to pick any items you may have forgotten and souvenirs to buy. Giant $6 ice cream cones and Hunts Brothers Pizza for a quick bite. There was also a restaurant with a pretty long line so we didn't get to try. And decent bathrooms!

We took out a pontoon for the day and everyone was so nice.Big thanks to Brady for helping us with our fishing poles. Ran into some rain,but still managed to get in another hour before the rain won out. Overall a great day and this is the only marina in the area to have decent rental prices for pontoons. Thanks to all for a wonderful day on the water and an awesome mom's getaway trip memory.
