My wife and I booked a trip here for 4th of July (4th-6th) to stay on the Summit houseboat. Loading and unloading was fairly easy though I wouldn't suggest overloading the transport wagons because you will have a hell of a time getting them up and down the loading ramp as it is quite steep and unforgiving. We were greeted by a houseboat attendant who walked us through the controls and safety procedures of the boat. Here is where the trouble started. Our houseboat was equipped with an aging inboard motor that would not go above the 3k rpm without killing the engine. We delt with the engine problems for the first and second day and found that we could tule around the lake at a steady 2200 rpm with no problems. That evening we took the boat in to fuel up and talk to an engineer about the issue we were having. The engineer found one problem to be that the carburetor cover was rattling and sucking air from the top and bottom. After tightening the cover he said the problem was fixed. We went back out on the lake to cove hunt and settle down for the night. Unfortunately, the engine problem had not been fixed. Every 30 minutes or so the boat engine would throttle down to zero and shut off suddenly, leaving us scrambling to get it started so as not to get hit by passing boats. Not fun. We dealt with the problems and found a nice cove about 3/4 mile from the loading/unloading dock. Last day same problems except now the engine was even more unstable. The engine would not start and we were near a cove heading toward some houseboats on shore. We called the help line and an engineer came out with a tug boat within 20 minutes to diagnose and assess the problem. He swapped out the carburetor and it appeared to have fixed the problem. The engineer explained to us that they were in the process of swapping out the old inboard motors for newer outboard motors. We just so happened to get one of the old ones. If you decide to rent a houseboat, check with the front desk about which one you will be getting. You don't want to end up with a bad motor like we did. Aside from the engine problems, we enjoyed our trip on the lake and the houseboat and would still consider renting one out from Bridge Bay. Though next time they will have swapped out all the old inboard motors for newer outboards. I want to aslp add that I spoke with the manager (I believe his name was Nick) and he covered the cost of fuel for our troubles. Thank you for reimbursing us for the trouble. It made all the...

This was the first time coming here. We paid $165 for one night. This was our first night away in years & was for our anniversary. We arrived yesterday a little after 4 pm. When we got there, the lobby/store where you check in was closed, there was no security in the booth & the after hours number was not picking up. We drove back & forth a few times until around 5 pm when we located the sheriff on the property & asked how do we get the key to our room. He didn't know why the security wasn't in the booth & I called the security 10+ times, left a voicemail & even text. I never got a response. That kind sheriff located an employee somewhere who did get us our key & we were in our room by 5:30. The room & the view were not like it was described. Everything was very dated, which is fine, if the lake view we paid for was accurate. I imagined a balcony or something we could sit out on but instead there was nothing like that. The lake view was just the front walk way with one chair per room in front of it. The view was also completely obscured by trees, so really all you can see are trees. The fact that we couldn't get to our room for well over an hour, set the vibe for the evening & it was not enjoyable. Also, the TV did not work at all. There is no fridge or microwave either & dead bugs in the room. This is far from a 3-star hotel. I also emailed the hotel when we were going through our ridiculous wait & as of today, no response to that either. My room card was ready on the counter when I was finally helped, so they knew I was arriving. Later in the evening, when we were coming back from the gas station one of the workers stopped us & asked if we were following him & said he was he was being followed. I don't know if that was the security guard or what that doesn't answer the phone, but that man seemed far from sober & we were absolutely not following him. All in all, it was not relaxing, not comfortable & not worth the money. Guests shouldn't have a spend over an hour wondering if they will even be able to get their room they paid for & have to watch shows on their tiny personal electronics because half the...
