"This place is good to rent from very nice prices but it's so hard to get ahold of someone sometimes. We had a reservation the first time and when we got there we had to wait outside for 45 minuets because the door was locked and we went again today and the door was open but no one was in the building. We tried calling and waited around for almost an hour waiting to run into someone before we ended up just going home."

"Rented 2 kayaks today with my husband and enjoyed every minute of it. So happy this kind couple is willing to rent them out and the Nature Reserve is just a few miles down the road. We'll probably do it again!"
