Question: Do you keep my deposit, or do I get this back? Answer: No, your deposit holds your reservation, and is our guarantee that you will be our guest. Your deposit is applied to your bill at check-in. So, if you are renting a houseboat, and your deposit amount is $700.00, then we charge you for the rental, and tax, then credit you as having already paid $700.00!

We do require a pet deposit of $100.00 which is nonrefundable. This is to cover additional cleaning costs. Question: Are there any hidden fees, like for extra guests, etc.? Answer: No, we accommodate and list each cabin and houseboat with every size bed, sleeper sofa, rollaway, etc. We charge a daily or weekly rate on cabins, and nothing extra for more guests. We want you to enjoy your vacation! However, there are Coast Guard regulations for Houseboats, and restrictions as to the number of guests can sleep per boat. We do list the max number of guests the boats accommodate. Question: Is there a charge for using my credit card? Answer: Yes, there is a 3% Reservation Handling Fee for using your Visa,MasterCard or Discover, charged upon arrival. Question: What kind of fishing can I do down there? Answer: We offer Walleye, Small Mouth Bass, Large Mouth Bass, Crappie, Catfish, Stripe Bass, Muskie, Kentucky Bass, Bluegill, and Carp. You can purchase your fishing license at the marina, and we also sell bait. You can click on our fishing info link to find out more about Dale Hollow Lakes Fishing. If you are a serious fisherman, or want to bring the kids down for some memories, come down in the spring or fall, as the Walleye spawn down the East Fork in the Spring, as well as the crappie and bass. Fish have been tagged and placed at the dam, and walleye notoriously run the river. Check out for some pics from past guests! Question: Beer, can I buy some or is it strictly BYOB? Answer: Pickett County is a Dry County, however we do sell beer Monday through Saturday. There are no liquor sales in our area. Question: What is your tax rate?
