I prefer this side of the lake anyway so you don't have a ton of options but for what you pay, improvements should be made. They redid the dock story last year after new ownership and that's about it. The steps to the parking lot are over grown with weeds and unusable, and the overnight boat slips are always filled with trash, nothing to tie up to, and half of the slips are unusable. I won't stop coming here, but this place has a lot of work to do.

best cabins and view. me and my family have been going here for the last 15 years and nothing but…read moregood things have come out of it. they recently went under new management and changed the name to lake cumberland marina and the renovated the dock and marina. still miss the old marina but it was a much needed improvement. the cabins were remodeled this year 2021 and the updated the couch added a coffee maker which is a keurig so make sure you bring k cups and added a few more new kitchen appliances. the bathroom had a new shower head and a new curtain. the bedrooms are moved around and better beds. the only down side is that the new couch does not fold out into a fold out bed which is what my family heavily relied on before the renovation. it is still a nice couch dont get me wrong but it is one less bed for one or two less people. you can call the marina and ask for an air mattress which was a pretty good size. the beach is still the same with the old swings and playground but it is still a lot of fun. we always go with our other family and rent the double decker pontoon boats with the slides and they never fail to make my family happy. the boats did get new motors which is nice so at least you can go a little faster than before but not as fast. overall it is always a great stay at this marina.

Had a room, this past weekend, with a couple of issues reported and no remedy to any of the issues. TVs didn't work. HVAC return filter was disgusting. Condo was listed as "sleeps 4 with pullout couch". Negative. No pull out couch was there. Also, when seeking food at the dock, the management of the restaurant was absolutely horrible. The staff will ignore you and you will stand and wait to be seated 10-15 mins because nobody wants to seat you or even speak to you. We sat ourselves, then got lectured by the manager as to why you don't do that even after stating that we had not seen a hostess or server come around. After waiting for over an hour after ordering pizza, they tell us they are out of pizzas....when asked "we are hungry so now what?" the server shrugged his shoulders and walked off. We will not be back here and will heavily encourage any of our family/friends to stay away from this marina. It has majorly fallen downhill since Safe Harbor has taken ownership.

This place is also known as Alligator Marina 2. I stayed at the camp ground and rented a pontoon…read more When I booked the pontoon online it indicated that the new pontoons were $30 per day more. When we got there, I honestly couldn't tell the difference from the "new" ones and the old ones. And then they tell us that the difference is the seating arrangement and there is 7 years between the sets of pontoons. They all were in need of attention. Rocks and dirt in the floors and mildew on the seats/cushions and a lot of cobwebs and spiders. Anyways, not a big deal but it was misleading... especially since that was the final deciding factor for choosing this place over another. They did let us change our reservation to the "older" boat, saving us $30. They also have double decker pontoons that have a slide. Initially we didn't know that tent sites were available. We planned on staying at KOA but when we went to KOA and inquired about a lakefront site, it was the clerk at KOA who told us that the marina/resort had lake resort sites. $25 per night was the rate and I would rate the camping spot a 5. You walk a bit down steps, the sites have pebbles covered pads and a fire pit, overlooking the lake. The bathroom/wash house... not so much of a 5 star rating. I've not stayed at too many campgrounds in my life but what's up with the bathrooms?!!! They all look like something from a horror movie, abandon and disgusting. The last time that we were at the lake we stayed at a B&B and this time I wanted more of an outdoor adventure. Honestly, I would've looked into the room rates here but the pictures that are posted on here suck, it looks too outdated for my liking. I'd rather stay in my tent. Let's not forget about the food! I'm still left thinking about the all you can eat Friday Fish Fry. Everything was cooked perfectly... many kudos to the cooks. They also serve breakfast. My husband opted for the all you can eat breakfast and said the bacon was the best he's ever had, so if you're a bacon fan, don't miss it. I opted for a sausage biscuit and a order of the hash brown casserole... both were excellent. Overall, I would've probably rated this place 3 stars but the awesome staff bumps it up to a 4 star rating. Two last observations... the patrons all seemed older than most marinas, I don't know why that is but hopefully a younger generation will catch on. It's a dry county so byob.

They sent me to South Florida where, for the first five years of my Federal Law Enforcement career, I was a Special Agent, assigned to Marine Drug Interdiction. In addition to that experience, I have owned and operated boats since the mid '70's. I am an experienced Boat Operator, and I have a 100 Ton Ocean Master's Certificate. In late 2019, we replaced our Scarab with a 2020 NauticStar 2302 Center Console, a design favored by Law Enforcement everywhere. We bought the boat from Coast to Coast Marine in Somerset, KY who recommended Sick Speed Marine to install the electronics. I like a boat outfitted with the equipment I am used to - VHF, RADAR, SONAR, Directional Remote Controlled Searchlight, etc. I've found that most local boaters do not use VHF radios - a must have option in South Florida where this boat will spend much of it's time. My friends would characterize me as being somewhat "OCD," and others might use more colorful adjectives but, suffice it to say, anything less than first rate equipment, properly installed, and fully functional is wholly unacceptable to me. The sea is an unforgiving place, and on more than one occasion, my safety has depended upon it. I was offered a fair price, and I accepted the proposed invoice as written, with the understanding that everything would be professionally installed. The final work product by Nick and Derek at Sick Speed was immaculate. I hope this Review is helpful. Be Safe Out There Bill E. Branscum InvestigatorBEB@aol.com
