We rented a Pontoon. It was covered in bird poop over the canopy and on the seats. We asked to have it cleaned sovthe mam left and never returned. I ended up scraping the dried poop off the seats. Broken back railing and broken fuel gage as well. The actual boat seat was not attached at all the boat and I went tumbling over into another seat. We will never go here again.

We were return customers. First of all let me explain this was a celebration trip for our daughter in law. She was finishing Chemo before starting radiation. We thought this was the perfect time for the trip. They rented a pontoon in advance and then found out her Chemo Dr did not want her in the heat/sun. They called 3 WEEKS in advance to cancel the boat bc of doctor’s suggestion. My daughter in law and son could not get anyone to talk with them and kept getting the run around. When they finally talked to someone they were told they would not get their deposit back. In my opinion this was totally uncaring and very bad customer service especially for repeat customers. My daughter in law was/is going through stressful situations and this just added to it. I am in no way criticizing the boats/pontoons but the uncaring people. I truly feel the employees need to take into consideration what their actions have done. This caused undo stress and frustration. Please have some common courtesy and do what is right.

Ann's Hideaway was a nice liitle cabin. Wonderful view from the porch and plenty of space for a nice lake trip for couple or small family. They have plenty of parking for your boat and easy access. There are also several restaurants in the area.

We had a wonderful time on Patoka this past week. Everyone at the Patoka Marina was so nice and so helpful. We would not hesitate using this marina again. :-)

100% RECOMMEND!! We rented a basic pontoon boat. The price was very reasonable for the day. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The check-in process was quick and simple. The employee who came to do our walk-through made sure to cover all aspects of operating the boat, covered the map of the lake pointing out areas to be cautious of shallow water, and marked locations on the map for us. We were camping in the state park, so we had a very quick drive from the campground to the marina. This was a great experience, and we will definitely rent here again!

First: Southern Indiana is a treasure! So much to see and do, and wonderful people. There are pluses and minuses to these cabins though:Plus: Great staff, clean rooms, good ACMinuses: No wifi, very weak cell service, noisy rooms, no view.If you are looking to totally disconnect, this may be perfect for you, but for the price we expected more.

We rented a pontoon. Staff was excellent and it's a neat place. Boat ran great and price was very reasonable. Boat was a little rough around the edges but everything worked perfectly. What you'd expect for being a rental. Our second time renting there and we'll be back again.

We enjoy Patoka Lake because it stretches out so much you hardly notice other boats. The pontoon boat we rented added some pleaure to our day, but there could have been a few improvements. It had a 50 hp motor which was not very fast. The side to one of the seats up front was broken so you had to be careful not to lean on it. Likewise, when we were shown the boat the guy stepped on the rear seat. The hinge wasn't attached so the seat fell into the area below it. When he slipped he pushed the side of the seat and tore and broke it so it couldn't be leaned against either.Otherwise, the boat ran well, got us where we wanted to go, and provided us some extra space and coverage.

We rented a pontoon and a tube for the day. The deposit for the tube was never returned it was a $120. If I didn't review my credit card statement never would have known. Maybe an accident but bad business practice.

Love coming here! Sonjia is the manager at the Marina and she’s also so sweet. Staff is well trained to answer any questions and quick to help. Always greeted with a smile! The floating store marina is well stocked and it’s always so cool to shop there!

MANAGEMENT DOESN'T CARE AT ALL ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE.VERY RUDE! WE HAD NO HOT WATER AND OR WORKING GRILL!THEY BLAMED US FOR NOT LETTING THEM KNOW AND WOULDN'T CREDIT ANY FUNDS FOR THIS MAJOR INCONVIENANCE...... WE WERE BUSY ON OUR VACATION AND DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL LATE THAT 1ST NITE WHEN WE WERE SETTLING IN. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE OUT ENJOYING THE LAKE AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO FOCUS ON THEIR MAINTANCE ISSUES. Management called me 2 days later to say the cabin was a mess due to dishes with food on them. We never knew we had to be our own maids and expected to clean up the cabin. THEY CHARGED US EXTRA MONEY WITHOUT ANY CREDITS FOR THE ISSUES. SHE DID NOT EVEN CARE ABOUT THE POOR REVIEW BECAUSE THEY KEEP BUSY. WORST MANAGEMENT IN THE COUNTRY AND POOR ATTITUDES!

Rented a double decker pontoon boat for the day. Did not make it far from the dock then the engine failed. After 2 hours, they could not fix it, so we had our choice of towing us in for full refund or half refund and we can use the boat anchored near the marina for the day. We opted to use our glorified raft for the day for $250 as we were already on the water and no reschedule that week was offered. We made the best of it, but still payed way too much for not having the use of a boat to see whole lake or pick a less windy area for the kids to swim. The boat was not well maintained either-loose weldings on handrails and benches that did not stay in place. Then to top it off, we watched a deckhand blow in another customer's car breathalyzer so they can drive themselves out. Poorly run and customer service was lacking at best (unless one needs their breathalyzer done for them). We also did the sunset wine cruise later that week. Cruise started late and was in a very hot enclosed room on a boat with no fans or air. My 1 star review is not just about our pontoon rental, but overall experience with the marina this past week.

Uncle Jim's cabin was perfect for our group... The bedrooms were cozy with ample storage - for a group that would stay longer than a weekend, there are dressers and closets for storage, allowing the visitors the comfort of not living out of the suitcase. I had 2 nights of wonderful sleep - windows open, listening to the wind and rain - just like the YouTube relaxation videos. Kitchen - equipped with dishes and anything needed for cooking - lots of serving bowls, utensils, cookware - even dishtowels and dish liquid!. A new coffee maker - quick pot ready and our mugs filled to take to the covered porch, relax on the rocking chairs and watch the ripples on the pond and allow the morning to unfold. Bathroom - clean shower, crisp white towels and built in hair dryer. Towels were exchanged by pleasant staff. Location - we spent several hours at the Winery. The staff at the Winery were super kind and helpful. Some of the group enjoyed the wine tasting - presented by knowledgeable staff who 'knew their wines'!! We all found shirts, Christmas ornaments and bottles of wine to take home. Park - beautiful trails and wonderful places to stop and admire the foliage and lake.I cannot wait to return!!! I can imagine a winter trip! Hiking and walks in the snow and coming back to Jim's to snuggle up with a blanket and sit back on the rocking chair with hot cocoa! Put in a good movie, get out the dominoes and settle in for a memorable evening.Thank you all for making our stay WONDERFUL!!!
