However, the person felt it would of been too painful to revisit since his partner passed. He was still under contract to pay the dues. He made an inquiry and received a subsequent letter that was in-humane in my opinion. There were no condolences, the letter was not even signed. It was cold and factual in underlying his remaining financial responsibilities. Wow, this is how you treat your members who have been in good standing? Wow, this is what we have come to? Money over people no matter what. I find this a sad statement towards an organization with a long history. I find myself at a lost for words. No, I would not endorse such an organization whose priority is cash over compassion.

Yet another beautiful free Michigan park!…read more This is connected to Furstenberg Park by a short trail that is mostly boarded by wood and has some small bridges. I like to bird watch and saw a cool Wood Ducks in the water, a tree swallow, and a swan! You can also stop by the water (very close to the shore) in the short hike at least 3 times and see some turtles. And there are many chipmunks and some other birds along the path. And there are a lot of people canoeing or kayaking on the water.

Gallup Park (broader than just the Canoe Livery) is one of my absolute favorite parks in Ann Arbor!…read moreEasy but varied and interesting trails, paved and unpaved, with great views of water, nature, and animals. Great park for distance running - when I was training for a half marathon, I would come here for anywhere from 3-8 mile runs. I actually typically like parking at the boat launch entrance off Geddes, but there is plenty of parking at the main entrance as well. It's just a little bit of a quieter entrance to the park. Over the last couple of years, they've had some fantastic art displays there as well. Very dog friendly, kid friendly, bike friendly, all of the above! Tends to be one of the busier parks, but for good reason.

Chris and Crest worked with me to design a boat that works with my mobility challenges. The delivery was flawless and the boat is awesome.

They were great about storing it until the weather was spring like and we got it delivered as promised. The weather has not been great for boating this spring so we got it on the lake 2-3 times before we had a major motor problem. They are not stepping up to help us get it fixed. First they tell us we have to pay for the part we think it needs. Ten days later they tell us it probably can't be fixed before July 4th. Really? That is what we get after paying over $11,000 for a boat in Michigan that has only been driven less than a handful of times? Think twice before going here and get a clear warranty if you do. They may not be there when you need them.

Visited the club to look at a boat with a broker. After…read moreviewing the boat we asked two gentleman getting on their jet skis if there was a restroom we could use. They kindly pointed us to the harbor master building by the pool. We walked by and we're very impressed with the beautiful pool and view. We walked around the building and didn't see the restroom door. We asked one of the young men working there and he walked us around to the side we missed and showered us the restroom door (clearly marked just opposite the harbor master side ) It was refreshing to be greeted by such professional and well mannered young man who didn't just tell us where to go but walked us there !

Most of the employees are quite friendly & helpful (although today as I returned my kayak, I encountered a very grumpy, sassy one--hmph). Anyway, I love that they make it so easy for you to get out on the river on a nice day and get a good upper body workout. $14/single person kayak for 2 hours, which is enough time to make it to the dam on the still water trip and back (2 miles one-way). Not bad!

There are also areas to sit alongside the edge and atop the boat. The crew was nice and readily available and were not intrusive. Clean restrooms and boat throughout. The cruise itself is smooth and safe. I would not recommend going for the tacos but instead opt for the ride itself. They allow you to BYOB which is nice but the food was very underwhelming. They pre-ordered the food from El Vaquero, which I never had, and they brought it in the boat 30-45 mins prior to serving without any means to keep it warm. I appreciate that they are trying to support a local business but I'd suggest they change vendors because they were some of the worse tacos I've ever had. Again, the cruise itself was great but the food was not good at all. I'd book again, but would eat prior.
