Outdated online prices and weekend 3-hour minimum squeeze renters…read more The lake is beautiful, but the pricing tactics here are completely misleading.Their website lists the small fishing boat at a lower rate.When you get to the counter, the actual price is $65/hour for the absolute cheapest boat available.To make it worse, they squeeze weekend renters by forcing a strict 3-hour minimum rental. It drops to 2 hours on weekdays when fewer people are around. They also require a massive temporary card hold upfront. Even after the deposit was refunded our final actual rental total came to $140 with a military discount once gas and fees were added. Splitting that down the middle meant it still cost me $70 out of pocket for my half just to ride in the most basic aluminum boat available. Renters without a discount can expect to pay even more. Forcing an unnecessary third hour means paying for extra time you don't even want or need. Expecting small kids to go 3 hours without a restroom break is completely unrealistic. If you head back early the marina just pockets the cash for time you couldn't use. This feels like a rigid money grab designed to exploit weekend crowds who have no choice but to pay up. To be fair, the counter staff & dock crew was very nice and helpful, but they don't make the rules. We love the lake, but we will not rent here again.

Strouds Run State Park is a gem, just a few miles from the City of Athens in southeastern Ohio…read more Lots of great trails around the lake and above on the many ridges throughout the park. Fairly large campground with spots that aren't too close together. Beach is typically dragged each morning in the summer and canoes, kayaks, and even motorized pontoon boats for rent. The motorized pontoon is blasphemy for those of us who have been going to the park since the 1970s, but they aren't so many that it is too loud or disruptive. There is one short trail that is accessible for all and there is a mix of pit and flush toilet facilities. There is no life guard at the beach but there is a safe and sizable enclosed playground for young ones.

We watched how the boat was cleaned before we got on and it was quick sprays and wipe downs. The steering wheel was not cleaned, disgusting. Thankfully we had anticipated the lack of cleaning and packed our own wipes and cleaning supplies. However, they need to step it up for the safety of their customers and staff. We would consider renting again as we are in the area frequently but hope that they will consider new practices and measures. Addition: being handed the life jackets with no additional cost is great. However, again watching the staff the jackets were not sanitized or cleaned after. Not cool.

There are two parking lots at Buckeye Lake State Park in Liebs Island. The one that I first parked…read moreat was the parking lot for the boat dock. So I parked and walked around a not-super-pedestrian-friendly part of the park and I wasn't impressed. But it's because I'm dumb and parked at the wrong parking lot! When I finally found out where regular people without boats should park, I had a grand time. The regular parking lot is at the entrance of a walking/biking path that winds it's way around Buckeye Lake. I suppose I could tell you how long the walking path is if I looked it up, but I'm not going to, so I'll just tell you that I walked for about 30 minutes in one direction and had to turn back and I hadn't reached the end. It's a long path. Along the way, you'll see cutely decorated houses, birds, turtles and the beautiful lake. It's a peaceful walk, and the path is wide and nicely paved, so it's big enough for everyone. There isn't a whole lot to do here if you don't have a boat. You can walk on the path, and sit on the benches that are located every so often along the path. There's a dive bar/restaurant located not too far from the boat dock. There are also a few signs and statues near the boat side of the park. Mostly, this park is here for you to just walk or sit and enjoy it.

Had to spend one entire day of the vacation getting repaired and to date have not been compensated for our issues. The management has offered a reduced rate on out next stay but due to our trip we will not be visiting again, and I have not gotten any response since. I have contacted numerous agency's in West Virginia to see what my next step should be and I have been told that there is no help available, as it is a privately run entity. I would not rent a houseboat to anyone that was not properly maintained. I hope that this reaches someone so that in the future you do not have the BAD experience like we did.
