We came out as a family for a fun day and it ended up being the worst day trip! These managers are a bunch of scummy people!

Stay far away!!!

Still a beautiful place to be but some things have changed:…read more I would not rent a boat from Elm Hill Marina ("fun floats," whatever). They are run down and evidently they intend to make no improvements to them. The lack of upkeep over the 12 years I've used the marina combined with the other reviews over the past few years where it sounds like they're sending people out on boats that aren't water worthy and then accusing them of breaking them? More than one review like this. The parking is much expanded & all paved now but non-slip renters or boat club owners still park up the hill a bit, especially on holidays or nice weekend days. Management is not the greatest, doesn't respond to most maintenance requests, and most recently they reneged on a written agreement with me that cost me over $300. They know they can do whatever they want though, because 1) there are idiots lined up to take your spot, should you choose to leave your slip, and 2) every other marina in the area is just as "nice."

There are some good additions to the marina but Safe Harbor LLC was bought out by Blackstone. If…read moreyou know about Blackstone then you know this is not a good thing. As soon as new management took over things on the employee side of this marina started going downhill fast. If you don't kiss corporate backside then good luck. They only want employees that won't disagree with anything management has to say and maintenance is treated like they're invisible which is funny because at a place like this, maintenance is the only reason the marina is still floating. Anyway good luck! I hope things turn around here.

I can't say much regarding the business aspect of a marina as I don't own a boat, nor dock one…read more What I can speak on is what I saw and heard and how I felt while I was there. This marina is quite lovely, with the slips set up in a pattern to accommodate boats of various sizes. There is ample parking and a restaurant on site. I dug that there was signage and obvious lanes to navigate in and out of this marina. The person whose boat I was on spoke highly of this place and seemed pleased to store his boat here. That's all I got!

That's where I had my first Bushwacker! I thought the Marina was well laid out and felt very safe when getting on and off the boat. As far as boating on the Lake, the water was a little murky but I'm told it's because it's connected to the river. All in all it was a very fun day and if you have a boat and looking to dock it in Nashville, Blue Turtle Bay Marina is a great choice.

Do not do business with this company. Read the reviews about "the $200 cash deposit being taken due…read moreto a damaged prop." The exact same thing happened to me. They require $200 cash only for a deposit upfront. This company will claim that you damaged their prop, and that you were at fault, therefore you will not get your cash deposit back. They did not take pictures prior to getting in to the boat. But they will blame you. I never like to leave bad reviews, but this company deserves it. Stay away from these guys.

We recently stayed in the area and wanted to rent a pontoon to spend a day on the lake with…read morefriends. We chose to rent through Nashville Shores Marina. The staff was friendly enough and the price was fine. The whole thing got off to a questionable start as we were trying to make the reservation. We first were on their website - you can't reserve anything on the website, you have to call the marina. We called and called and called...it would immediately go to voicemail and then indicate the voicemail box was full so we were unable to leave a message. We finally drove over to the marina as we were staying nearby. As we were in the marina office/store discussing the rental, the phone was ringing. The guy who appeared to be in charge kept hitting the decline call button even though he was just sitting at the counter not appearing to do anything. One of the "gotchas" with boat rentals is "prop insurance" - it's $50 extra, but if you return the prop with damage it supposedly costs $400 to fix it...we have been screwed over more times than I can count by boat rental companies alleging prop damage so we purchased the so called insurance (shake down). So, we made the rental for early in the week...the guy in charge indicated we were getting the "best boat" in their rental fleet. I honestly was a little taken aback by the boat when we arrived...it was beat all to hell, the carpet was moldy. There was mildew on the seat cushions. None of the instrument panel worked. The rental images on the webpage we're not even close to the clunker we rented. Our group was just looking for a way to get out on the lake to a quiet cove so we could get in the water and float around. This boat did the job, but it was probably the worst rental boat I have ever rented. There are some other rental options on the lake; I would look into those were I to be back in the area and wanting to rent a boat.

You could get just that or use it as one (1!) of your sides for entrees. I had the catfish dinner and it was a lot of catfish. They were cut in strips and the cornmeal breading was just right. I also ordered the fried cabbage which was good, but after all the salad I didn't have much room for the entree. The food was very good and the porch sitting outside was nice. I'm glad to have found this place!

I've been very lucky to go to this marina with friends who have boats, or who are part of the…read moreNashville boat club. Overall I am very impressed with the marina and the people who work there. They take care of the docks and slips and are very friendly to you. I like the extra security of all the docks being locked up. Located in Hendersonville on Old Hickory Lake, Creekwood allows you to easily get onto and around the lake from its location. There's plenty of parking for you and friends if you want to spend a day on the water. Slips can be pricey, but that's kind of part of owning a boat. And you see all different kinds of boats at Creekwood, from small fishing boats to huge houseboats. And there's a place to gas up right at the end of the docks before heading out for the day. It's location protects you from really choppy waters and there are plenty of little inlets to anchoring your boat and floating that are very close to the marina itself. Also, side note, there's a gas station right across the street if you run out of beer. I have always enjoyed my time and Creekwood and my friends who have slips here have been pleased as well. If you are interested in docking here give them a call. Also, they are part of the Nashville Boat Club, in case you want to take one of their boats out as a member...they have reasonable hours for those as well. I would recommend this place to seasoned or new boaters.

The cabin was moderately clean, the cable box in the bed room did not work and only one bed had a TV.

We dealt with it and left it in better than we found it shape. Good stuff: Convenient to the lake, quiet, nice kitchen and large clean beds. We enjoyed our time and I would rent again in the same spot.
