Great little getaway place!! So peaceful. The staff was super friendly and the food at the restaurant was delicious. We will definitely be back!!
Wonderful day on the lake! Easy pickup and drop off! Clean, beautiful boat. Thank you!
Pontoon boat we rented was in great condition and made for an awesome day on Smith Lake. People were very friendly at Lake Shore Marina
We thoroughly enjoyed the boat rentals this past week from Lakeshore Marina. My only surprise was that an anchor was not included. Last year, the boat came with an anchor. Nonetheless, the boat was nice and ran smoothly. The online rental requests and signature pages were super convenient and the pickup and drop off process was seamless.
A great atmosphere excellent food and food choice and the most courteous and polite people you'll ever find
A hidden gem! Big rooms, and all have a great view of the water. The on-site restaurant has amazing breakfast and dinner, and the people who run the place couldn’t be nicer. We felt like family by the second day—they remembered us and everything. Add in some wildlife and marina cats, and it’s a recipe for a perfect weekend getaway.
What a wonderful place if you are looking for some inner peace with good food excellent service and a very unique location this is your place
Rented a pontoon for the weekend. The rental rates were fair, the gas price reasonable for a holiday weekend, and the people were very helpful. Minus one star because the boat should have been in better shape for the first weekend of the summer (major upholstery issues, big dents, missing ropes, etc. that should have been addressed in the off-season). It ran well though and we had a great time!
