They could have just cancelled our reservation and been within their rights to take our $100 deposit. Instead, they went out of their way to pick us up at another marina in Missouri and drive us down to their place to fill out the paperwork. We loved the boat we had! (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. Once we were done for the day, they finished off our paperwork and dropped us back off at our vehicle at the other marina. When we spoke with workers at the other marina, they even had nothing but wonderful things to say about Cricket Creek Marina! That is how you know they are doing a great job - your competitors have nothing but nice things to say about you! You won't go wrong by taking your business to these amazing people! Your vacation will be smooth sailing throughout your experience with them!

Just making sure everybody here paid the day use fee and the whole interaction would have been so much more pleasant but no now it's obv left a bitter taste in my mouth and I never again go to your park until this attendant is gone!!!!!She has the worst customer interaction skills ever!She needs to stay out of the public!!!!!

Wonderful experience for the family. They have everything you need for a successful fishing trip…read more Boat, pole rentals, and temporary fishing licenses were very reasonable and worked great. They also have fish cleaning stations w/ knives and folks that can help. 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.

(Maybe ask the tub rental place) You can buy a cooler for $15 or rent one for $5, along with a cooler float that has a bottom (nice place to store the trash bag for the float down river) It was a very peaceful, relaxing yet fun with friends float!

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!!!!

I would definitely recommend renting from them and enjoying the other side of the lake where it is not so busy. Renters be aware that they do not rent tubes but do have them for sell (for a price) at the marina. This is not overly apparent on their website so I thought it worth mentioning. Life jackets are provided with the boat, however, which is nice in comparison to other marinas where you have to rent them. All I all, we had a great experience and hope to rent from them again in the future.
