Unforgettable Father-Son Salmon Fishing Experience…read more This was our first time salmon fishing on the lake, and it couldn't have been a better experience. From the moment we booked, everything was smooth and professional. Captain Rick made the process easy--he was responsive, informative, and his communication was excellent every step of the way. Before the trip, he thoroughly explained what to expect and answered all our questions. Once we were out on the water, his instructions were clear, easy to follow, and made us feel confident even as first-timers. Captain Rick's expertise and patience made a huge difference. We ended up catching our limit, which was the icing on the cake. The value for the charter was excellent considering the quality of service, gear, and overall experience. I would absolutely recommend this trip to anyone--from beginners to seasoned anglers--and we're already looking forward to going back again!

Matt is one of the owners. Awesome guy that is very helpful. The dock hands and mechanics there have been great as well. They have worked on a couple of my boats from party pontoons to big blocks. Very knowledgeable but it's the small things that matter. I brought a boat to them for an unrelated issue and they found that my trim was not hooked up and simply fixed it. We all just want to boat at the end of the day. Whenever I pull in there, they are just a friendly bunch.

Right off the bat the owner starts being a douchebag to me but there's something very fishy about…read morehow this place does business especially their estimates and how they poorly communicate with their customers. I have never seen anything like it before how they can't even bother to pick up the phone to be upfront with a new prospective customer shopping around for the right shop to fix their boat. The only thing they did do was send me a brief short text telling me to bring my boat to them for an estimate and that was it and they refused to answer any of my questions asking them for some very important prerequisite information that anyone should be informed about before you go to any repair shop. They just expected that I will just blindly bring my boat to them without confirming they even offer a service to do the type of repair, the cost that they charge to do the estimate, and a rough cost quote of how much they typically charge for the type of repair. Only an idiot would be stupid enough to blindly bring a boat to this place. If they have to get any boat into their shop just to see it to tell you they can do the job when you can clearly see a picture that shows 2 spots of minor paint damage on a motor they sound like they don't know what they are doing or talking about. My insurance company wrote up an estimate from a virtual inspection. My insurance didn't need my boat in any shop to estimate the damage but the shop that already diagnosed my motor already told me what needed to be done, a minor paint job but they don't do paint. Anyone who would blindly go to these clowns has to be dumber than a door knob. Their requirement for you to pay them for an estimate first without giving you the necessary information you should know up front is just an excuse to lure new customers, who don't know any better, in the door to pay them for an estimate. No one goes to an auto repair shop without shopping around for and finding out from at least 2 to 3 shops how much it costs to do an estimate as well as the labor rate and a rough cost quote of what the shop typically charges to fix a car problem. Everyone knows that once you walk through that door to pay the estimate is when they got you but you should have enough information by then to have made your decision. No one wants to waste money bouncing around to different shops paying for estimates. So come on, I wasn't born yesterday and boat repair shops are no different. Something sounds too good to be true about this place. How can they have so many 5 star reviews but have very poor communication skills with new customers and not know how to answer a few simple preliminary questions up front thats important for any new customer to know? There are a few things I know for a fact why I do not trust the owner's high number of 5 star reviews and neither should you. He is very manipulative and narcissistic. He went to great lengths to suppress my review on Google and I've seen other people's negative reviews from years ago taken down recently but whenever someone happens to post a 1 star review he tells all his friends on the company Facebook page to post a bunch of 5 star reviews clearly to manipulate the public into believing the 1 star reviews are not real or accurate. In addition, When I tried to post my Google review of this place the owner retaliated against me with a lot of horrible things he said about me but none of what he said is true. Unfortunately Google does not provide reviewers any good methods of recourse against a business owner who chooses to respond abusively in a defaming manner. You can message them to no avail and hear nothing so I'm done with Google and I know not to take reviews on Google with a grain of salt. From now on I'll believe them when I see it happen. Beware unless you are ok with getting ripped off and just don't care what it costs to fix your boat. If you go here it's at your own risk that if you are not happy with their work they could try to get your review removed and slander you too for leaving them a bad review like they did to me on Google.

Second time, was from flood damage on my boat from the floods of 2017. The third, well this was my problem on scarps on port side from docking in heavy wilds and a downpour on the shore station. There are 4 levels of craftsmanship, 1 the fix it guy...does a fair job.2. The craftsman...does a really good job, but is not the detail type of work. 3 master craftsman he's the one when you need fine detailed work to be done, you pay for it but you get what you pay for. Then we get to Bill, he is far and away an artesian, in his field. Bill just does not want to do the job perfectly, he's a magician with his finished product. He does what he says he will, does it on budget, and you have complete confidence that your repair will be better than factory new. I trust my boat to no one else...Thanks again Bill, for your quality work, your dedication to doing the job right, and taking pride in your finished product. Jim B.

Today, my boyfriend and I rented a paddleboat for an hour. The weather forecast indicated rain…read morewouldn't start until 1:00 PM, so we thought we had plenty of time. However, around 12:20 PM, the sky turned black. We immediately turned around and began pedaling back to the dock as fast as we could. While we were heading back, a safety staff member on a speedboat approached us. He told us we had to return to shore but added that he couldn't tow us in--we had to pedal all the way back ourselves. While we were already doing that, the storm was rolling in incredibly fast, and it was a genuinely scary experience. As we finally approached the dock in the storm, we saw two teenage employees who had been assisting people earlier. One of them looked right at us, but instead of helping us secure the boat, both boys ran back into the covered checkout area and completely ignored us. As we struggled to park and tie up the boat in the pouring rain, not a single staff member stepped out to help us dock safely. Meanwhile, at least 10 employees were crowded inside the checkout area. As a person of color, I am unfortunately always hyper-aware of how I might be treated in certain environments. I have visited this forest preserve many times, always thought it was beautiful, and was so excited to show my boyfriend around. To be treated with such a lack of care was incredibly disappointing. When we spoke to the male manager, he explained that they are required to clear the water during storms. My boyfriend clarified that we had no issue with leaving the water; our issue was the complete lack of staff assistance to help us dock safely in a dangerous situation. The manager offered us a "rain check" for a free rental, but missing out on time wasn't the issue--our safety was. No one seemed to care that we were the last ones out on the water. I hope this forest preserve implements a better emergency protocol, because storms on the water can quickly become life-threatening. I guess my question is if the staff are closely checking the weather , why even let people still go out on the water ? Instead of saying "hey there's a storm that is going to be rolling through , we are holding back on rentals at this time for safety reasons " .

Five stars for the Rustic Hilltop Cabin!…read more Petite Lake Resort is our family's go-to annual vacation spot, and our recent stay at the Rustic Hilltop Cabin was amazing.
