86 foot Custom Premier Houseboat - Lake Exclusive Dock/Rest.

Our overall esperience was nice. However I would suggest doing something about the spiders on the patios of the boat. TV needs replaced in the master. Other than these 2 items our stay was a success and we would rent the boat again.

We decided to take a 3 day weekend and go to Nashville, this boat really made it fun. It was very comfortable, 3 bedroom 2 bath with a fold out sofa. The kitchen is stocked with all the necessities and surprisingly big. The owner has a pontoon boat next to the houseboat you can rent and explore the lake. I highly recommend this! If it is an adult or teenage group, there is a sand bar with a volleyball net...fun. At the other end of the lake (near the dam) there is a restaurant you can take the boat to, nice atmosphere and good food. Back at blackjack cove you will find a great restaurant/bar with live music on the weekends and Sunday brunch. We would definitely do it again! Thanks Rusty

A family reunion centering on the Music City Marathon prompted me to look for a rental that could sleep 8. This seemed like the perfect fit. Full kitchen, two baths (showers), three bedrooms and a pullout sofa.
We arrived during a thunderstorm and learned the first lesson. Its a long, circuitous walk along finger slips to get the last row of boats. This was not easy with 2 small children (1 and 4) and belongings and food for eight. Bring a wagon!!!! Second lesson. There is a lock on the front sliding door, but its broken, so there's a lock and hasp type closure, which you can only lock from outside. That made minding the kids a bit of a chore.
The interior was immaculately clean and well prepared. (Coffee maker not working) The exterior could have been cleaned up. We were probably the first renters in a while, so webs aplenty on the party deck, foredeck and aft deck. (No big deal)
The restaurant on premises (The Black Pearl) had a nice bar and the food was good and for the most part reasonably priced.
Our four days were great. On the last evening the A/C conked out and we had to open windows to stay cool. The owner (Rusty) came by and made an effort to fix it, but no luck on a Sunday night. It was unusually warm weather for late April but we managed.
The security at the marina was good and there's a great view of Old Hickory Lake from the decks.
Plenty of towels, pillows etc. Enough utensils and dinnerware.
We didn't use the grill, but it appeared to be very large.
I would definitely consider this rental again.
