Ronnie was really communicative and the instructions he left us were so helpful. He was very attentive and made sure we had water for showering and dishes. This was a great getaway for my boyfriend and I and a quick drive from Chicago. Ample fishing opportunities and even with the rainy humid weather outside, the cabin of the boat was cool and spacious for what we needed. The tv in the boat with Internet made a rainy night that much more cozy! We were able to walkaround the river road and see some wild life and checked out Twisted Anchor for a nice dinner Saturday night. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2da3a58d-ead3-4c4b-b0a4-f70275f1f92e-1753639563202.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bc4b7343-4e46-4482-9bbc-70e8af448e03-1753639565083.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d5f799ea-4e2a-4023-b973-a32723d86df9-1753639562767.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/81916e25-c0e2-4451-82a0-2cfc65ac7b7b-1753639564620.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Gillian M.
