My son and I stayed here during his Spring Break to celebrate his 13th birthday. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The little on-property shop was nice and convenient. It’s a beautiful location, and being able to walk across the parking lot, down to the private pier was really nice. Our room, and the property in general, were clean and well kept, but it’s an older property, so the proper expectations need to be had going in. We had a crazy storm the last night we were there, but we never lost power or had any issues caused by the weather. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back!

The beds were filthy stained with urine the mattress pad was worse than the mattress. We had to demand a new one for one bed. The shower liners had black mold spots all over and a slimy pinkish film across the bottom half, we had to remove the liners before showering. Dishes had dried food on them, the silverware holder was gunked with mustard and crumbs. Couch was disgusting. Under the cushions were filled with dirt and crumbs. Toilet had dried waste speckles on it we had to clean and disinfect the entire cabin. Bathrooms and shower are very small. The kitchen blind wouldn't go up or down. Light over the kitchen sink was out. The oven needed cleaned it smoked when we cooked a pizza. Every window sill had dead bugs in it. I was told the owner would contact me It has been 2 weeks and no contact. The 2 new house cleaners were super friendly and helpful! I would not recommend especially if traveling with family. I am very disapointed in our experience here.

We stayed off season. Room was basically clean other then some cobwebs. Hot water was barely room temperature. That was disappointing and cold. Great place for fishing. I would stay again only if they turn up the hot water heater.

I used to own a resort like this and I thought it was a clean room and because this is harder than a motel to keep up(fishermen, hunters) it was more than adequate. I am sure many families have had a good time there. The staff member was very nice.we enjoyed our stay there.

What a wonderful place to stay! My husband and I spent two nights here and absolutely loved it. The rooms were clean, cozy, and full of charm, with a beautiful view of the lake. The lady at the front desk was friendly and incredibly helpful, and the entire property was well maintained. We will, without hesitation, stay here again the next time we are in the area.

Fishing trip

We went to celebrate my upcoming birthday and do some fishing. Once checked in we noticed the interior needs updating furniture old and faded. The carpet old. The back deck needed power washing lots of moss on the deck. The bathroom fan didn’t work the shades needed updating and were dusty. The light switch in the bathroom didn’t stay on. The staff was friendly upon check in. Debbie in housekeeping was amazing she made sure we had what we needed. Would stay again just not in cabin 12 or 11. Due to the interior being so old.

It's beautiful at the marina. The staff are great and so helpful. We always stay at the same cabin each time and it's always a great peaceful stay. My favorite part is sitting on the dock or deck watching the sun come up while I drink my coffee.

The peace I found was so very much needed. It was quiet and beautiful. I loved having the dock out the door and seeing nature come right up close to us. The lady that cleaned the cabins was so sweet and thoughtful. The conversation and her words to me of the loss of my father was much needed and appreciated. Thank you and we will be back.

Lake Fork fishing trip getaway

Cabin was brand new and had all the supplies (other than food) that we needed. All beds very comfortable. Plenty of room for 5 adults or couple w/ kids. Great space on the water w/ your own dock! Sunrise & sunsets were beautiful! Husband loved being able to tie his boat up right below cabin and come & go as he pleased. Definitely will be back!

Basic clean rooms. Both nothing special a great place to stay to put your boat in the water and fish all weekend.
Only complaint is there is no pool on site as listed. You have to drive down the road to their other property to use the pool and that motel looks questionable from the outside

Not too bad, but not too good.

We were visiting family in a neighboring town for Thanksgiving. Upon arrival were given a trash bag with extra towels and toilet paper as we were told housekeeping was off the next day for the holiday. Understandable, so no problem with that. Got to our room and it truly decorated in a “fishing lodge” feel, with wood panel walls, 60’s looking bedding, and very sparse decor. Was very disappointed that they only provided 2 towels when we had booked the room with 4 people, but we had the extras in the “no housekeeping” trash bag, so, we could make do. The only issue with that turned out that on the day that housekeeping was back, they took our bag of extra items, and just left us with only two towels and one extra roll of tp. Beds were not made, linens not changed (by this point was our third day there), and it didn’t appear as though anything was done other than taking our four used towels and leaving us with two clean ones.
The lake view was nice, although really more of a boat ramp view, but still water, so I counted it. The whole area was very rustic and quiet, which was nice and appreciated. All in all, the stay was ok, however I imagine if we were bass fishers we may have appreciated it a bit more.

I was pleased to see the hotel room looked exactly like the pictures. I liked the cleanliness of the hotel room and the quality customer service of the staff, Floyd and Rachel. Our problem was resolved relatively quick once we located the emergency number. We definitely look forward to staying/visiting Pope's Landing Marina again. Next time will be a cabin stay. One recommendation, if the rooms are vacant for sometime, please consider rewashing the comforters, linen and vacuuming the room to remove any invisible particles, etc. Upon our entrance, and laying down I did experience what felt like some minor biting/itching on my arm/neck areas which had me a little uneasy. I didn't see anything on my skin and eventually, it subsided. Also, it would be a plus to have an ironing board with a decent iron. However, I will gladly bring my own iron next time. :0) Thanks Floyd and Rachel for your Pope's Landing Marina hospitality.

Good fishing spots

Great location, right on the water, lots of spots to fish from shore if you dont have a boat. Wish there was a vent instead of heater in the bathroom, our bath tub sink was not draining well, ankle deep water by the time you finish showering. Good water pressure tho. The wall socket by the beds were too close to one bed, you have to move the mattress to plug in phone charger.
