The staff was very professional and polite and everything went smooth from beginning to end. However, the two boats that we rented needed to be reupholstered. Some of the seats were ripped and the foam cushions were sticking out and soaking wet from the previous nights rain. The radio, horn, and gas gauges did not work. The engines were updated and worked well. It was an overall good experience.

We ate dinner on both Saturady and Sunday for labor day weekend. The food was delicious, big portions, good variety, great price and awesome staff! If you are in the Ocala national forest area I highly recommend it.

Upon arrival we were issued a room that was not the one depicted on website. We had contracted for a river front room, this one was behind cottages in an area with broken jet skis and dumpsters, not at all as described. Although we were refunded, it certainly ruined our plans for 2 nights and a boat rental on the river. This deception caused us grief. I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone. The room we booked overlooked dumpsters and broken down jet skis.
