Lisa thoughtfully helped us from patiently answering our questions over the phone to helping outfit us with all the right tackle. Derek was the very kind dock boss who explained all the ins and outs of boating this lake/river. He also provided backup equipment, including rod & reel which ended up being used since we snagged a log that took hook and all our line. Bathrooms (two) are to the right of front door and were kept clean. Wonderful time, caught five beautiful rainbow trout.

We call each other our "vacation family" and our kids, and now my grandkids, have grown up together, learned to swim and made so many memories at this resort, that it is almost painful to create this post. We have outlasted 3 previous owners whom we also considered part of that "vacation family". They were welcoming people who did everything in their power to make a stay at Rainbow Haven Resort and Marina as memorable as it could possibly be. However, that all came to an abrupt end yesterday. Sometime in the early afternoon, we were told that they closed the books out every Saturday and we needed to pay our bill before the end of the day, just one of a string of BS lines that I completely don't believe, a day before we were to leave. So before I went to the office to pay I checked the website to verify the price of the room so that I knew approximately what I was going to be charged. BUT when I got in there I was charged around $50 more than I expected. Mind you we had already been told that the reason there were no BBQ grills on the decks any longer is because the insurance wouldn't pay if the place burned down and they had provided the grills, but if the guests brought their own it was ok. WHAT?!?!?!?! The next one was that we should have seen the pool 2 hours before we got there because "it was pea green". Speaking of the pool, you can see in the pictures below, what we had to deal with all week. It was not cleaned 1 single time after we got there on July 1 and still hadn't been cleaned when we left on July 9th. So an argument began regarding payment and I refused to pay anymore than what was stated on the website for the room. She continually told me that the website had been updated to which I replied, "I will bring it up and show you right now on my phone". Her reply about the dirty pool was, "You were in the pool everyday. Why didn't you tell us". "BECAUSE IT IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO TELL YOU TO CLEAN YOUR OWN POOL!!!!! I DON'T OWN THIS RESORT YOU DO!!" The argument with her ended with her stomping off into her house and telling me we were no longer welcome at Rainbow Haven Resort and Marina. I CANNOT abide liars and underhandedness and those 2 people are the epitomy of both words. The pictures below show just how bad the pool area was and the boat dock was such a joke that it took 2 people to get our boat out because you had to be a gymnast to maneuver around the kayak that was laying on the walkway obstructing it. The last straw was that they sat on their deck the entire time watching us AND called in some kind of "security wanna be's" to hang out while we were leaving. I really take offense to someone with guns on their belt hanging around while we had our grandsons with us and were only packing our stuff and leaving. I would caution EVERYONE to stay as far away from this place as possible and if you have made a deposit for a stay in the future, be prepared to not have it returned because the place is going on the market in October and at the price they are going to ask will not likely ever sell and they will wind up giving it back to the bank. They may be able to convince others that their lies are true, but I have learned quite a few things in my 50+ years and dealt with better liars and cheats than they have ever thought about being. PLUS, I have ran that resort for a couple of weeks at a time for more times that I can count and know how much work it takes to run it. But I did fine and did my full time job to boot!! It was the people that you came into contact everyday that made me go back again and again, whenever asked. I totally enjoyed it. So our Rainbow Haven days have come to an end but next year will bring a grand adventure that will create new memories!!!!

It was a 2-hour trip. Basically, we cruised out to a nice, protected cove and dropped anchor for awhile, allowing all of us to get off the boat if we wanted and go enjoy the water. The options were: Two tandem kayaks, a giant inflatable slide, an inflatable trampoline with a launch bubble and just swimming around. The staff was very friendly and entertaining. They even played music over the boat speakers the whole time and had some fun contests and entertainment on the trip back to the marina. It is well worth the money to go out and enjoy the lake.

It had noticeable vibrations the entire time, but as new renters, we had no idea that wasn't normal. It's very possible the propeller was already cracked before we took the boat out. At some point while we were boating, a piece apparently came off, but we had no way of knowing that had happened. When we asked about the age or history of the propeller, they refused to provide any information. They were also unwilling to negotiate or consider that the damage may have existed before our rental. My advice to anyone renting from them: inspect the boat carefully before leaving, take detailed photos and videos of the propeller and the entire boat, and return to the marina immediately if you notice anything unusual. Otherwise, you may end up being held responsible for damage you didn't cause. In our experience, the boats appear to be fairly worn, so documenting their condition before your rental is essential. I would not continue to pursue this matter if I believed, even for a moment, that we had caused the damage. If I thought we were responsible, I would accept that responsibility. I am only asking that Indian Point Marina fairly consider the possibility that a pre-existing condition or structural weakness existed before our rental and that this possibility be acknowledged as part of its evaluation of this claim.

(This was the second time we rented from them.) Great price! Had a tube for our rental as well which was perfect and lots of fun! The people were so nice and friendly.

When we spoke with workers at the other marina, they even had nothing but wonderful things to say about Cricket Creek Marina!
