I rented a cabin for my boyfriend's birthday weekend. Booking the cabin online was easy and…read moreconvenient. A week before we arrived, I called to let them know that we were bringing a 10lb chihuahua mix. The girl on the phone went over the pet policy, which was pretty standard and understandable. About three days before we were supposed to arrive, my boyfriend wanted us to get there a day early so I called Pope's Landing to see if we could get the cabin a day earlier than planned. The girl told me that they were booked and completely busy, etc. No big deal since I knew it was relatively last minute so I wasn't expecting a "yes". We arrived on Saturday afternoon. The place was pretty empty. I saw one couple walking their dog and a family fishing nearby. I asked the woman behind the counter if they had been busy and she said no. Kind of odd since I got the exact opposite information two days before, so this kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Whatever, no big deal. The woman helped me with finding a restaurant for dinner and the nearest grocery store to pick up some snacks and I was able to rent a boat slip for $10 a night. The cabins look exactly like the pictures. This is a good thing, in my opinion. You get what you see. The floors and sheets were clean, I'm pretty low maintenance so it doesn't take much to please me. The cabin had a full kitchen: microwave, oven, fridge, a grill and fire pit out front, and even dishes and silverware if you're planning on cooking. The WiFi was a little spotty, but the woman at the front desk warned me about that, so at least I got a warning? Besides, we spent most of the weekend boating and fishing. The cabin had Dish/Satellite TV. The TV channels in white were the ones that worked/have access to. I was told that housekeeping would come in the next day to replace our sheets, but they didn't come in until late afternoon. My dog liked the lake and I had to give her a bath. I used a towel to get the dirt off the dog. Housekeeping assumed the dirty towel was because my dog had an accident. I told them that I had to clean the dog. They charged me $250 for the cleaning fee. I'd think that the housekeeping wouldn't know the difference between dog accidents because of the smell of dog waste, but I'm sure they'll believe the opinion of their cleaning crew over my truth. I'd probably lodge here again, if we were to visit Lake Fork again, but mostly because there aren't that many options for lodging. As nice as the place was, I kind of expected more. I guess I wished I had a more pleasant or more welcoming experience..?

He was the first one to cast, always in the front of the boat, casting, never let his customers cast first, never found any fish.

Just a really horrible experience. I've been on a couple of guided fishing trips, some were great, some were terrible. The guys were very disappointed.

Ricky's Boat Rental is THE place to go if you need a boat rental at Lake Fork. Jackie was so nice…read moreand accommodating with setting up our reservation. She answered all of my questions and made everything so easy and seamless. We originally planned to do a one day rental, but for $50 more, we extended our rental time for an extra night. We got our boat launched off on Friday evening and returned the boat the following day. Chris was great with launching the boat. He answered all of our questions thoroughly and gave us great insight with regards to the best fishing spots around. When we told Chris that we were staying at Pope's Landing, he said, "oh you don't even need a boat if you're staying there." Boy, was Chris right! We caught several bass just fishing off the docks. Saturday morning, we were having a few problems with the trolling motor. We called Ricky's boat rental and Chris came out within 30 minutes and got us going on the water within 15 minutes. Chris even offered us to switch boats if we wanted. Everything from setting up the boat, to launching, to troubleshooting, and to point us to the best fishing spots, Ricky's Boat Rental is fantastic. The rental prices are reasonable and the service was outstanding! Chris and Jackie, thank you for giving us such a great experience. You given Jonathan a wonder birthday weekend. I can't thank you enough!

Went out for a birthday trip on the 19 ' bass boat which was supposed to be from 8-5 pm. When you…read morebook an email gets sent that says to arrive 15 minutes early for convenience, when we arrived at 7:45 we were told that our boat wasn't here yet but we still had to go in and pay. After 45 minutes we were told that it would be another 30 minutes and if the boat wasn't here we would get "A way cooler boat with better equipment." That boat turned out to be the cheaper, worse option but nevertheless we got the boat we paid for and got it to the ramp. The dude was nice and spent another 30 minutes trying to get the motor to start but as we were about to get on the water he made some unprofessional comments about us which were no where near to true just because we wanted to fish different spots and use a bigger glide bait that he didn't directly recommend however the whole business isn't professional so that isn't surprising. Finally we made it out on the water just to learn that he took one of the two screen off just because and also took the transducer which is what makes live scope work for anyone who doesn't know so we were met with that challenge which wasn't to bad but just the fact we didn't get what we paid for. Around 2 hours into our trip and a bad bite so far we were going to move to a new spot and we found that our main motor would only go backward due to some bracket disconnect which was not our fault. after spending an hour trolling to the nearest ramp and another 30 minute repair we were ready to go out and try to find some bite. That ended quickly when we moved just to the second spot after the repair(15 minutes after) and we were going to go just across a cove when our motor completely broke not letting us go forward or backwards for the same reason as before which he apparently "Fixed to a tee." we gave him multiple calls with no answer then the office, nothing either so we attempted to troll to the nearest ramp which ended with a dead trolling motor battery halfway there and us drifting to a random bank basically stranded for 1.5 hours till we tried to call with a different number and were picked up immediately and the owner was " on the way soon." After another hour wait we called off the original phone to no response however we were thinking he was ghosting us so 10 seconds later we grabbed a friends phone and he answered immediately thinking it was a new client. He said he had forgotten which is absolutely crazy to me that someone could say that but nonetheless he was there 30 minutes later even though it is a 5 minute drive. in that 30 minutes though we looked to see what else was missing from the boat so the picture below are the "Best condition storage and highly maintained live well." Anyway after we got picked up and 6 out of our 9 hour trip waisted and no fish caught which is the only thing which isn't fully there fault we got dropped off at our truck and when we asked for a 50% discount because we didn't get half of what we paid for he said "yeah yeah sure whatever" after 5 minutes of arguing and now we have basically been completely ghosted on all three numbers. Overall this place seems to have some good reviews but I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a guide instead or literally anything that isn't this crappy business the literal only thing they have is that the guys are at least nice and they are somehow the only retal place around.
