Ronnie was absolutely professional and kind. His boat "Pure Pleasure" completely lived up to its name. Everyone on the dock at the marina was kind. My kiddos enjoyed the boat and all of its amenities. We were able to watch movies, cook what we call "boat burgers", fish on the dock, get some much needed relaxation, as well as listen to some music. We will definitely book again, plus, Starved Rock is only an hour away. My kiddos will have this enjoable memory for a lifetime. Thanks, Ronnie! Many Blessings!

Rainy cozy weekend stay!

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.

Quiet time

We never stayed on a boat as an VRBO. It was well worth it! Very relaxing and comfortable. Just wish we could have stayed longer! Ronnie was extremely helpful. Great host!
