I am sharing this info only because I feel any future renters of a houseboat, specifically the Tiny Coral will be aware of what we experienced and be prepared. Note there was ALOT of floating debris in most parts of the lake to avoid while driving the boat. Here is my list.... 1. No seat or stool for captain of boat we used a stool from the kitchen. 2. The downstairs beds will vibrate (and upper bed will vibrate too) the downstairs room will vibrate with the noise of the generator. We were told not to turn the generator off although we were told by another marina (who in fact were very helpful) that we could turn it off. The emancipator for the toilet is down there too and runs constantly, you'll hear it. 3. Bring a night light there is no light downstairs. 4. There are no hooks, drawers, or shelves to store your clothes/bags. 5. There are no window coverings/blinds/or shades. 6. There is not a washer or dryer in the unit. 7. The hot tub on top deck was completely out of water within 2 hrs of leaving the dock. We were told they forgot to put the plug in when it was filled. Also on the top deck only two chairs, there were four of us. 8. The furniture on the front and back deck consisted of a dirty pvc table with 4 small metal chairs, the back deck had 4 chairs (1 broken couldn't use) and a broken wooden table. Actually looked like the furniture was found on the side of the road. 9. Boat should be better equipped with docking and emergency equipment. ( a marine radio) We were not monetarily compensated for our inconveniences, we were given merchandise from the marina store. I will say the inside of the boat does show well. All appliances worked. No issues in the bathroom other than a loose toilet seat which we fixed. And there are hooks in the bathroom to hang your towels. 10. The washer and dryer at the marina are a mess, try not to do your laundry there. As far as Lake Cumberland we were surprised of all the debris/garbage and logs floating in the lake, sad. There were some pretty sites to see on the lake. Oh note in pic below the clever way of keeping the gas flowing while fueling by our Lees Ford Marina dock guy while filling the tank at the end of our trip. All this being said the staff was very nice and "tried" to accommodate us.
This place would get zero stars if I could give it. Owner is a complete tool and cares less about customer satisfaction. Please dont waste your hard earned money here, because you will regret not going somewhere else

My wife and I and 12 TEENAGERS rented the SummerSun Harbor Cottage / Houseboat (slept all of us) and a Jetski for my daughter's 16th Birthday. Not only was the Marina staff professional and courteous, but they went out of their way to make the weekend special. Before departure, the Houseboat Manager walked through the boat with me and explained all of the operations. They even added additional chairs and cushions to accommodate our extra passengers. With my First Mate lacking in experience, they gladly assisted me with helping secure and tie up the boat in a waterfall cove for the weekend (about 1.5 miles away from the Marina) . . I gladly tipped the deckhand some extra cash, but it was never asked for. The boat had everything we needed to cook for 14 over the course of 3 days (Grill and Propane Provided). Boat was equipped with Household appliances to include Double sided fridge and Washer/Dryer. . .they even thought to include a huge portable Bluetooth Speaker that the kids took with them everywhere. It was a weekend that none of us will forget, and Lee's Ford Marina and their staff are commended.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are sorry that you had an issue at the end of the day; but we are so happy that we were able to assist you in a way that kept the day going as well as it had been. Hope to see you again soon

I dont even know where to start! Everyone on the property were nice and polite and friendly! Rented a pontoon for the family for the day and had a blast! Very cheap prices! Unfortunately out boat needed to be towed in at the very end called and they sent 2 very amazing guys to come tow us back in! Shout out to Jake and Gary for the awesome conversation and even better customer service! Would give 100 stars if I could!
Rented a pontoon which we didnt werent able to get onto until 45 minutes after pickup time. Got 2 hours into our day and the boat quit moving. Being someone who grew up on the lake and years in the Navy, I checked the prop, no damage there. Took 4 hours to get someone out there. It was one of their mechanics. He looked at the prop, crank the motor and said it threw a rod. He towed us back in. We requested our money back with the exception of the 2 hours we did use the boat. They offered another day rental but we declined because were all from different states. So we were told, they will check with the mechanic and see what he says and then if its not your fault. I KNEW it wasnt our fault so I was confident of a refund only to be told today that the mechanic said we hit a log a damaged it! I am screaming BS! What a horrible way to run a business. It seems not a single person there is an honest businessperson! Dont waste your money and time with these folks.
