Pontoon Boat Rental

For our cabin guests, we have available for your rental our 18.5 foot Sundancer pontoon boat. This boat features:

The boat is docked at a nearby marina, so it can be ready for your use within minutes. We will bring the boat to the cove for your use.

We do not rent the boat unless you are staying in one of our cabins. There are no exceptions.

The boat is typically available, look at our main reservations calendar

The canoe is maintained at the cabins. Guests may use it, first come-first served, at no charge.

Conditions of Use of Pontoon Boat

  1. Boat is rented for a full day's use - 24 hours if wanted - and is to be picked up from and returned to the cove. No refunds for late starts, early returns, inclement weather (except for posted wind warnings), or cancellations of less than 48 hours notice. This gives you the flexibility to enjoy the boat without either of us needing to continually look at our watches. We do not do partial day rentals.
  2. Boat may be rented for any day(s) of your stay, including day of departure.
  3. Renter/operator must be 21 years of age or older.
  4. Renter will receive boat with sufficient gasoline to get to marina.  Renter is responsible for purchasing additional gasoline for the day's usage.  [NOTE: Many places will rent you a boat with a full tank of gas and require you to fill it upon return. We no longer do this, as it is impractical to require tanks be filled at the end of your usage. The lake's marinas do not stay open late for purchasing gasoline and do not have automated pumps. You will receive the boat with adequate gas to get to the marina pump, and you will be responsible for purchase of additional gasoline for your use during the day. You will not be responsible for filling the tanks at the end of the day. (But, please leave us enough to get it back to the marina!!!)]
